Punnet Square review

Monday March 11^th

For any trait that you exhibit the dominant phenotype, your two possible genotypes are HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT (TT) or HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE (Tt)

For any trait that you exhibit the recessive phenotype your only possible genotype is Homozygous Recessive 

Having six fingers on each hand instead of 5 is a dominant allele.  What are the chances that two individuals with 5 fingers can have a 6 fingered child?

We then went through some of these slides - most of this was discussion. I was VERY impressed by how much you guys remember about punnett squares from 8th grade so we will be able to fly through this part of the chapter.
