    11-2 PROBABILITY AND

    PUNNET SQUARES

     The principles of probability


    can be used to explain the
    results of genetic crosses

    Mendel
     Probability
     The likelihood that a
    particular event will occur

    3 Mr. Cruz

     Flipping a coin: two


    possible outcomes

     Therefore
     The probability that a single
    coin flip will come up heads
    is 1 chance in 2. This is:
     ½ = 50 %

    11-2 Probability and Punnett Squares CIDEB


    4 Mr. Cruz

    Flipping a coin three times in a row


    What is the probability that it will land heads up
    every time?
    Each coin flip is an independent event

    Therefore

    The probability of flipping three


    heads in a row is:

    ½ * ½ * ½ = 1/8

    5 Mr. Cruz

     How is coin flipping relevant to


    genetics?
     Allele segregation is random
    (like a coin flip)
     The principles of probability
    can be used to predict the
    outcomes of genetic crosses

    What is the probability that a tossed


    ¼ or 25 %
    coin will come up tails twice in a row?

    Gene combinations

    Genetic makeup Genotype

    characteristic Phenotype
    Organisms Organisms that
    that have two have two different
    identical alleles for the
    alleles same trait

    particular trait 11-2 Probability and Punnett Squares
    7 Mr. Cruz

    An F1 plant that is
    homozygous for
    shortness is crossed
    with a heterozygous F1
    plant.
    What is the probability
    that a seed from the
    Do these plants have cross will produce a
    the same genotype? tall plant?
    Do these plants have
    the same phenotype? 50 %
    All of the offspring
    would be tall
