About Mendelian Genetics & Punnett Squares
- Mendelian Inheritance: Inheritance of traits follows predictable patterns if each gene has two possible alleles, one dominant and one recessive.
- Punnett Squares: Visual tools that map out all possible allele combinations from parental gametes, predicting genotype and phenotype probabilities for offspring.
- Monohybrid crosses consider one gene; dihybrid crosses consider two genes. Sex-linked crosses involve genes on sex chromosomes, often resulting in different inheritance patterns for males and females (e.g., hemophilia, colorblindness).
Common Genetic Disorders:
- Cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia (autosomal recessive)
- Huntington's disease (autosomal dominant)
- Hemophilia, color blindness (X-linked recessive)
Punnett squares are essential tools in predicting the risk of inheriting such disorders, as well as interpreting simple genetic test results.
