16
Q

What is a hybrid organism

A

It has one dominant allele and one recessive allele

17
Q

What does purebred mean

A

A purebred is when the allele from each parent does the same

18
Q

What is a punnets square

A

Punnets squares that show possible outcomes for inheritance

19
Q

How many alleles do you parents have and how many alleles do babies receive

A

Each parent has two alleles for every gene and an offspring receives one allele from each parent

20
Q

What does a punnets square do

A

It shows how the parents pass on the wheels to potential offspring

21
Q

On the punnets square where are the genotypes written

A

On the top and side of the Square

22
Q

What does each box in the punnets square show

A

Each box in the punnets where shows away the alleles from each parent would confide in potential offspring

23
Q

What expresses the probability of an outcome

A

Ratios and probably percentages

24
Q

What is the ratio

A

A ratio compares her shows a comparison of two numbers

25
Q

What’s the definition of probability

A

The likelihood of a chance of a specific outcome in relation to the total number of possible outcomes
