Final assessment: Write a claim and evidence (cite your sources!!) for the following question: How can you predict the probability of genetic outcomes?
Claim:Dominate and Recessive Traits can be tracked to see what you look like.
Evidence:You can use a punnett to determine what you look like because you can determine how many recessive and dominant traits your child will have.Lower case is Recessive and Capital letter is Dominate. Dominate will always cover up recessive.
In this example there is a 75% chance that the baby will have the dominate trait.
Genotype is your genetic code and Phenotype is the way you look. Let's say that Blonde is the dominate hair color and Brown is recessive. This kid has a 75% chance to have Blonde hair. There

The Punnett square is a useful tool for predicting the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring in a genetic cross involving Mendelian traits. Constructing a Punnett square is quite easy, as demonstrated by the Websites below.
You can inherit certain traits from your ancestors. If your moms mom has brown hair and your mom has brown hair you have a chance of having brown hair. You can inherited mutations to.
“The chromosomes contain the genes you inherit from your parents.
For example, for the gene that determines eye colour, you may inherit a brown-eye gene from your mother and a blue-eye gene from your father.
In this instance, you'll end up with brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. The different forms of genes for eye colour are caused by changes (mutations) in the DNA code.
The same is true for medical conditions. There may be a faulty version of a gene that results in a medical condition, and a normal version that may not cause health problems.
Whether your child ends up with a medical condition will depend on several factors, including what genes they inherit” whether the gene for that condition is dominant or recessive their environment, including any preventative treatment they may
Genetic inheritance is a study field that presents twists and turns. Time reveals new discoveries about how other factors affects inheritance. The new discoveries will offer clarity to the issues of heredity and why certain people are different, yet they have identical genes. The documentary “Ghost in Your Genes “ expound on the subject of varying inheritance patterns.
an affected gene, and a normal gene, and being a disease carrier like their parents. Scientists
that gene supplied or not. If there is no dominant gene showing up, then they will show through
"For the majority of conditions, what you've inherited is a susceptibility to a disease or condition," Dr Barlow-Stewart says. "To happen they need a triggering factor and, although we don't know what all these factors are, there are some like smoking and poor diet that we do
Developments in medicine have negatively impacted natural selection by causing an increase in genetic disorders. A genetic disorder can occur for many reasons. Sometimes chromosomes are missing or doubled. In other situations, the genetic code on chromosomes can get altered due to an anomaly when the RNA processes the information. Important information can be deleted, swapped, or completely altered. It is because of these changes in chromosomal DNA that changes in species come about. Genetic disorders are the negative effects of mutations in genes. For example, Sickle-cell anemia is a blood disorder which
This table helps show all the possible genotypes from one set of parents. The table shows that the genotypes purple and starchy are dominant, and the genotypes yellow and sweet are recessive.(stallsmith)
Actually, there are some significant consequences to it and one of the ones that he brings up that I point out to them is that the eye color. Everyone thinks brown eyes, blue eyes or brown eyes dominate to blue eyes and that is the way that we always teach it. If you have two blue-eyed parents you shouldn’t have a brown eyed child and if you do then somebody did something wrong. The clue, who’s my daddy come up.
In the future, a study could occur where the probability of this occurring is
The pairs of alternative traits examined segregated among the progeny of a particular cross, some individuals exhibiting one traits, some the other
The shaded squares are the recessive alleles however the non-shaded squares are dominant alleles. Recessive alleles only occur when the phenotype is homozygous recessive. For a recessive allele to produce, it is required to inherit copies of recessive genes from both parents, but even if both parents are carriers, only one out of four of the offsprings are likely to be affected. Furthermore, recessive alleles normally appear out of nowhere and skip generations, conversely, dominant alleles rarely skip generations, which makes them easy to follow through a pedigree.
It is easy to see that there is some differences from one person to the next. These differences can be hair color, eye color, skin color, facial structure, eye structure, etc. These different characteristics are polygenetic traits: hair color, eye color and skin color. Polygenetic trait is multiple genes mixing with each other to create the characteristics like blue eyes. The eye color is controlled through the genes from both parents that are passed through to their child. Scientist have found that there is multiple genes that decide what color the eye needs to be or will be. The color of the eye is often slightly or way different from one person to the next. The color of the eye has the function of controlling how much light enters the eye.
There has been a lot of scientific research done into genetics, genetic crosses and inheritance enabling us to understand why we have the certain characteristics and traits that we do, how we inherited them and how we can pass them on. It’s because of this research that we can understand and learn about our genetic makeup and why it effects the way we are.
Genes build the phenotype of humans as well as the underlying genotype. Competition between cultural genes leads to varied success of genetic determinism. It can therefore be said that learnt traits such as those espoused within a specific culture, can produce what may seem to be the genetic genotype of an individual. Genes are not always advantageous in the
Much of how an individual turns out to be is not only dependant on the genes in which their parents have passed down to them, but also due to the family structure in which they were raised by.
Genetics play a part in the development of a person, some genetics cause conditions such as Down Syndrome, Cerebral palsy, Huntingdon’s, etc however some people are considered more at risk because of their genes to things like cancer, diabetes, heart disease etc these are not only influenced by genes but by the persons environment.
