  Part 3 | The Interactions of Life: Ecology Screen 1 of 2

To fully appreciate this tutorial, you should be familiar with the following concepts:
• Phenotype and genotype
• Dominant and recessive
• Alleles
• Monohybrid cross
• Homozygous and heterozygous
• Product rule and sum rule

When you are finished with the simulation, you will be able to:
• Determine the probable genotypes for as many individuals as possible in a given simple pedigree for a particular trait.
• Apply Mendel's principles to solve genetics problems involving monohybrid crosses.
• Apply the product rule and the sum rule appropriately when predicting the outcome of genetic crosses.

3 Can family history be used to predict the characteristics of future generations?
 
 

You are a genetic counselor. Your job is to review the family history of potential parents and establish the probability that their children will have specific genetic traits. You will use pedigree analysis to determine the parents' probable genotypes and use Punnett squares to predict the probable genotypes of their children.
