How does probability relate to the punnet square?
A Punnet square is a way of representing the possible combinations of genotypes in an offspring of two parents with differing genes. It is used to determine the probability that the offspring has a particular genotype.
What is the probability that an offspring will be homozygous recessive?
well, it depends on the genes of the parents
What was the probability that two heterozygous parents would have an offspring that produced rounds seeds?
3:4 or 75%
What is the probability that two heterozygous parents would have an offspring that produced round seeds from Mendel?
When both parents are heterozygous for seed shape (Rr, where R is the allele for round seeds and r is the allele for wrinkled seeds), the probability of producing an offspring with round seeds can be determined using a Punnett square. The possible genotypes are RR, Rr, Rr, and rr. Thus, there are three combinations (RR and Rr) that result in round seeds out of four total combinations. Therefore, the probability of having an offspring with round seeds is 3 out of 4, or 75%.
What is the probability of getting curly hair?
The probability of getting curly hair depends on whether your parents do or not. Hair genes are decided by the mother. So, if the mother has curly hair, more than likely the offspring will as well. If the father has curly hair and the mother does not, the probability is considerably lowered.
