OBJECTIVES
INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS
 Distinguish phenotype and genotype
 Differentiate between homozygous and heterozygous
traits
 Determine genotypic and phenotypic probabilities
expressed as a percent using Punnett squares and
pedigrees
 Synthesize Punnett squares based on given genotypic
crosses
 Infer the parent genotypes from completed Punnett
squares and pedigrees or genotypic and phenotypic ratio
for offspring
