Considering the genotypes of you and your partner, predict which phenotype you would most likely see passed on to your offspring for at least 5 traits. Base your predictions
To accomplish this, on your traits inventory sheet, there are a five traits that have simple inheritance patterns (not incompletely dominant or polygenic):
Face shape Possible phenotypes: round (dominant) or square (recessive) Possible genotypes RR, Rr, rr
Eyebrows Possible phenotypes: not connected (dominant) or unibrow (recessive) Possible genotypes NN, Nn,nn
Earlobes Possible phenotypes: free (dominant) or attached (dominant) Possible genotypes FF, Ff, ff
Freckles Possible phenotypes: present (dominant) or absent (recessive) Possible genotypes PP, Pp, pp
Dimples Possible phenotypes: present (dominant) or absent (recessive) Possible genotypes KK, Kk, kk
Using the two genotypes of you and your partner from your Traits Inventory sheet, you are to create a Punnett square to predict the likelihood of your children having the dominant and recessive phenotype for each of those traits.
For this submission you will have a page showing FIVE Punnett squares, and the odds of your child having the dominant or recessive phenotype for each trait.
As a challenge — choose an incompletely dominant trait and do a Punnett square for the trait, determining the likelihood of your children having the each of the three possible phenotypes.
