  2. Monohybrid cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monohybrid_cross

    Figure 1: Inheritance pattern of dominant (red) and recessive (white) phenotypes when each parent (1) is homozygous for either the dominant or recessive trait. All members of the F 1 generation are heterozygous and share the same dominant phenotype (2), while the F 2 generation exhibits a 6:2 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes (3).

  3. Punnett square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square

    The phenotype of a homozygous dominant pair is 'A', or dominant, while the opposite is true for homozygous recessive. Heterozygous pairs always have a dominant phenotype. [ 11 ] To a lesser degree, hemizygosity [ 12 ] and nullizygosity [ 13 ] can also be seen in gene pairs.

  4. Classical genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_genetics

    The alleles of genes can either be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele needs only one copy to be expressed while a recessive allele needs two copies (homozygous) in a diploid organism to be expressed. Dominant and recessive alleles help to determine the offspring's genotypes, and therefore phenotypes. [citation needed]

  5. Genotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype

    A simple example to illustrate genotype as distinct from phenotype is the flower colour in pea plants (see Gregor Mendel). There are three available genotypes, PP (homozygous dominant), Pp (heterozygous), and pp (homozygous recessive). All three have different genotypes but the first two have the same phenotype (purple) as distinct from the ...

  6. Hardy–Weinberg principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy–Weinberg_principle

    For example, in humans red–green colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. In western European males, the trait affects about 1 in 12, (q = 0.083) whereas it affects about 1 in 200 females (0.005, compared to q 2 = 0.007), very close to Hardy–Weinberg proportions.

  7. Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance

    In a dominant-recessive inheritance, an average of 25% are homozygous with the dominant trait, 50% are heterozygous showing the dominant trait in the phenotype (genetic carriers), 25% are homozygous with the recessive trait and therefore express the recessive trait in the phenotype. The genotypic ratio is 1: 2 : 1, and the phenotypic ratio is 3: 1.

  8. Test cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cross

    In a test cross, the individual in question is bred with another individual that is homozygous for the recessive trait and the offspring of the test cross are examined. [2] Since the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on recessive alleles, the allele the individual in question passes on determines the phenotype of the offspring. [3]

  9. Zygosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygosity

    An individual that is homozygous-recessive for a particular trait carries two copies of the allele that codes for the recessive trait. This allele, often called the "recessive allele", is usually represented by the lowercase form of the letter used for the corresponding dominant trait (such as, with reference to the example above, "p" for the ...
