    The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular ... (round), while r represents the recessive allele ... autosomal and ...

  3. Hereditary carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_carrier

    Punnett square: If the other parent does not have the recessive genetic disposition, it does not appear in the phenotype of the children, but on the average 50% of them become carriers. A hereditary carrier ( genetic carrier or just carrier ), is a person or other organism that has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation ...

  4. Dominance (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_(genetics)

    Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance, the two most common Mendelian inheritance patterns. An autosome is any chromosome other than a sex chromosome.. In genetics, dominance is the phenomenon of one variant of a gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the same gene on the other copy of the chromosome.

  5. Genotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype

    When the tall allele was present, the plant would be tall, even if the plant was heterozygous. In order for the plant to be short, it had to be homozygous for the recessive allele. [8] [9] One way this can be illustrated is using a Punnett square. In a Punnett square, the genotypes of the parents are placed on the outside.

  6. Test cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cross

    Punnett squares showing typical test crosses and the two potential outcomes. The individual in question may either be heterozygous, in which half the offspring would be heterozygous and half would be homozygous recessive, or homozygous dominant, in which all the offspring would be heterozygous.

  7. Human genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics

    An example of a family pedigree displaying an autosomal recessive trait. A pedigree is a diagram showing the ancestral relationships and transmission of genetic traits over several generations in a family. Square symbols are almost always used to represent males, whilst circles are used for females.

  8. Lethal allele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_allele

    Punnett square for the agouti gene in mice, demonstrating a recessive lethal allele. [2] Lethal alleles were first discovered by Lucien Cuénot in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat colour in mice. The agouti gene in mice is largely responsible for determining coat colour. The wild-type allele produces a blend of yellow and black ...

    This does an amazing job of showing how recessive genes are passed from the parents to the offspring and the difference between an affected offspring and a non-affected carrier of the recessive gene. Articles in which this image appears The highest EV I think is at Recessive, despite the fact that the article uses smaller preview.
