You are a diploid organism, meaning that you received one set of genes (called alleles) from your father and the other set of alleles from your mother. The combination of these inherited make up your genotype. Use the chart to determine which common dominant and recessive traits you have. Write you findings on your lab sheet. The terms dominant and recessive describe the inheritance patterns of certain traits. Together, the alleles from each parent will create a phenotype (observable characteristics) in the offspring. A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the outcome of the offspring from two different parents. Look at the Punnett square at your table. The genotype of the mother is listed on the left and the genotype for the father is on the top. A capital letter is used to express a dominant trait and the lowercase letter is used to express a recessive trait. There are 3 possible combinations. Homozygous Dominant – ex. TT Heterozygous Dominant – ex. Tt
