AGENDA:

- Objectives: Be able to (1) explain how the theoretical probability of an organism inheriting a particular allele combination from its parents (and trait) can be determined using a Punnett Square and (2) how these odds can be used in breeding and family planning

- Warm-up: Use a Punnett square diagram to show the probability of a baby having attached earlobes if the attached type (L) is completely dominant to detached (l) and the two parents are both heterozygous for the earlobe type gene. [10]
