Today we continued in our discussion about complex forms of inheritance. We started the class with the following daily question:
Snapdragons are a type of flower that produce offspring in an incomplete dominant manor when determining flower color.
With that said –
what would the Genotype of a Red flower be? FrFr (The "r's" would be superscripts)
What would the genotype of a white flower be? FwFw (The"w's" would be superscripts)
What would the PHENOTYPE of a heterozygous flower be? PINK
What would the outcome of a cross between two red flowers be? All REd
What would the outcome of a cross between two white flowers be? All White
What would the outcome of a cross between two pink flowers be? 25% Red, 25% White, 50% Pink
The rest of the period we continued through our heredity notes. 8th period finally got to watch the video that discusses why most babies are born with blue eyes. Check it out here!!
Please make sure to keep up to date with your notes. We are about to wrap up with this chapter. The last thing we STARTED to view was the video about Chimera's I will post this clip as well as some more information in a later posting!!
