    IB2.26.5 Drawing genetic diagrams

    When constructing a genetic diagram for a monohybrid cross, it


    is important to follow these conventions:
     Show the characteristic of the parents (phenotype).
     Show the alleles present in the parents’ cells (genotypes).
     Use upper case letters to represent a dominant allele.
     Use the lower case version of the same letter to show a
    recessive allele.
     Put gametes in circles.
     Show all the different possible combinations of alleles at
    fertilization.
     Put an ‘x’ to show a cross (mating).

    IB2.26.5 Drawing genetic diagrams

    Below is an example of how you might construct a genetic diagram to


    explain a monohybrid cross between a father who has two alleles for
    free earlobes and a mother who has two alleles for attached earlobes.
    Which conventions of drawing genetic diagrams do you recognize?

    Offsprings’ characteristics: all have free earlobes but have one


    dominant and one recessive allele
