BSC 219 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Mutual Exclusivity, Dihybrid Cross, Null Hypothesis
Document Summary
Higher the probability the more likely the outcome. Used to determine the probability of two or more independent events occurring. Probability: how likely an outcome is to occur. Product law: probability of independent events occurring together is the product of the probabilities of the individual events. Sum law: states the probability of either of two mutually exclusive events occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities. Used to determine the probability of two or more mutually exclusive events occurring. A= probability of outcome 1 (ex: a boy) B= probability of outcome 2 (ex: a girl) Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, x-linked dominant, x-linked recessive, Mode of inheritance: manner in which a particular genetic trait is transmitted from one generation to the next. Expect unusual ratios when examining different traits with different modes of. Normally, a dihybrid cross results in a 9:3:3:1 ratio inheritance. Use the product law for example: albino and blood type a.
