Analysis should address the use of Punnett squares to predict Mendelian genetics through the concept of dominant and recessive alleles recombined through sexual reproduction. Analysis should include hybrid and dihybrid crosses.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How is a Punnett square constructed?
- What traits can be predicted using the Punnett square?
- How can one predict the likelihood of inheriting a particular trait by using the Punnett Square?
- How do mutations influence genetic diversity?
- When would a recessive gene be expressed?
- What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?
