Answer 10

my 3rd quater exams are comin up and apparantly these are a big part of the test!

Answer 11

Well I'll try to explain it without using pictures. Lets say T is for tall and t is for short. You cross a TT plant and a tt plant. Create a punter square outline now, with TT on top and tt on the left side.

Answer 12

ok think i got it

Answer 13

Tall is a dominant trait, indicated by the capital Ts. You know it is homozygous dominant (the root "homo" meaning "same"), and same for short: homozygous, but recessive, indicated by the small Ts.

Answer 14

so the small tts are smaller traits....?

Answer 15

like, not as improtant, traits....?

Answer 16

Dominant always dominates recessive, so when you clad the letter from the top left and left top, you'd get Tt. The big letter always comes first. This plant would be heterozygous dominant because dominant dominates the recessive trait (heterozygous means different). This should be the same for each square in the punnett square I gave you.

Answer 17

so, the likiness of someone having....brown eyes, would be TT to tt, with is Tt, then how do you determine the, percentage of the likiness of someone having brown eyes?

Answer 18

If brown eyes = big T, 100%. The T dominates the little t, but the child with brown eyes would have a recessive trait for the other color eye, which if that Tt breeded with another Tt for example, if you work that out, there's a 25% chance that the next generation's child could have a different eye color.

Answer 19

I know it's confusing without me physically drawing a Punnett square; I apologize. I must go now and my iPod is dying. I can help you after school if you still need help them, and I will be able to illustrate it using the drawing option on my PC.

Answer 20

uh huh....

Answer 21

It's like cross multiplying Captial over throws lower cases though

Answer 22

ooooohhhh.......that statment actually makes sense!!!!!!

Answer 23

Example: If I had T,t and t,t for both sides it would look like so.

Answer 24

Simply try it as stated (:
