| 3 4 |IL 1 I Section 5: Trihybrid cross and Laws of probability For a trihybrid cross, in which inheritance of alleles for three genes is tracked, drawing a Punnett square that combines all three genes may not be practical. Instead the laws of probability may be used. The product law of probabilities says that when alleles for separate genes segregate independently, we can figure out the probability of a particular combined genotype by multiplying the probability of the alleles for each gene. 13.

1. Mary and Joe are both healthy individuals. Joe has a mother who suffered from cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disorder. Mary has been genetically tested in order to find out if she has the allele responsible for this disease and her tests came out positive. They are planning on having two children together in the near future. What is the probability that she and Joe will have either 2 boys who have the disorder, OR that they have one boy who has the disorder and one boy who does not? (in other words, what is the probability that any of these two outcomes takes place? a) 1/8 b) 1/16 c) 3/32 d) 1/64 e) 9/64

What’s the probability of receiving a particular gene? The Punnett Square is a tool that allows you to see the different gene combinations that are possible when two parents of any species create offspring.
Part B 1. For the remaining characteristics, you will be looking at homozygous and heterozygous traits. Each trait will be determined to be homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant, or hetero- zygous. Letters representing the alleles will be given to you; the uppercase letter is always dominant and the lowercase letter is always recessive. If both dice rolled are even numbers, it indicates homozygous dominant alleles; if both are odd, it indicates homozygous recessive alleles; if one is odd and the other even, it indicates heterozygous alleles. 2. Eyebrows: Use the alleles "A" and "a" for this trait. Two separate brows are the dominant trait, whereas the unibrow (or one continuous brow) is recessive. 3. Eye shape: Use the alleles "R" and "r" for this trait. Round eyes are the dominant trait; almond shaped eyes are recessive. 4. Hitchhiker's thumb: Use the alleles "H" and "h" for this trait. Straight thumbs are dominant; Hitchhiker's thumbs (the curving upward of the thumb) are…
