Genetics: Probabilities

Probabilities are expressed as a number between and

0 and 1

The second generation phenotypes resulting from the cross of true-breeding monohybrid pollination will display a ratio of:

1:3

Principle of Segregation

Members of a gene pair separate during meiosis and are found in separate gametes.

Genetics experiments on the breeding of plants or animals are based on the laws of ...

Probability

The major probability principle demonstrated in this exercise is that when two events occur at the same time the probability of each occurrence yielding the same result is the of the probability of each separate event.

Product

The probability of two independent events occurring together is the of the probability of each event occurring separately.

Product

The calculation of probabilities is based on events.

Random

Probability

The chance that a given event will occur usually expressed between the number 0 (will not occur) and 1 (the event will occur).
