Standard 2g Preknowledge
2g) Students know how to predict possible combinations of alleles in a zygote from the genetic makeup of the parents.
CALIFORNIA FRAMEWORKS SUMMARY:
When the genetic makeups of potential parents are known, the possible assortments of alleles in their gametes can be determined for each genetic locus. Two parental gametes will fuse during fertilization, and with all pair-wise combinations of their gametes considered, the possible genetic makeups of progeny can then be predicted.
