  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

    For example, using 'A' as the representative character for each allele, a homozygous dominant pair's genotype would be depicted as 'AA', while homozygous recessive is shown as 'aa'. Heterozygosity, with hetero associated with different , can only be 'Aa' (the capital letter is always presented first by convention).

  4. 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 ...

  5. Dihybrid cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihybrid_cross

    the 1 represents the homozygous, displaying both recessive traits: 1 x rryy; The genotypic ratio are: RRYY 1: RRYy 2: RRyy 1: RrYY 2: RrYy 4: Rryy 2: rrYY 1: rrYy 2: rryy 1; In the example pictured to the right, RRYY/rryy parents result in F 1 offspring that are heterozygous for both R and Y (RrYy). [4] This is a dihybrid cross of two ...

  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. Classical genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_genetics

    The phenotype is a general term that defines an individual's visible, physical traits. The genotype of an offspring is known as its genetic makeup. 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 ...

  9. Equine coat color genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_coat_color_genetics

    Visually indistinguishable from the homozygous D horse. d/d (D d /D d) non-dun, homozygous recessive. The entire coat, barring the influence of other alleles, is a rich, saturated color. The primitive markings are no longer visible. The horse may be chestnut, bay, black, gray, palomino, and so on.
