What can be used to help predict the probability of genetics?
Punnet squares.
Why are the results of a punnet square probable events and not certain events?
The punnet square gives the results as probable because is it similar to rolling dice. If you have a die with four sides, when you roll it, the chance is 1 out of 4 that a certain number will show. You could roll it 20 times and it COULD show the same number 20 times. But the probability is 1 in 4 each roll. The Punnet square is the same.
A colorblind man and woman with normal vision whose father was colorblind have a son what is the probability that their son is colorblind?
Make a punnet square with the mother above, her genotype would be: X^B X^b, and the father to the left whose genotype is X^b Y.The probability of having a colorblind CHILD is 50%. The probability of them having a SON is 50%. Since we are asked what the probability of their SON being colorblind, it is 50% as well. The reason is because the chance of having a colorblind son, among sons only, (according to the punnet square) is 50%.
A genetic cross can be represented in a graph in the form of what?
A Punnet Square
What two things can be predicted by a punnet square?
genotype and phenotype
