10Science7 27 Hui-Tanguru 2014What we will do What we will learnPreliminaries and roll The importance of
starting wellDefine and use the buzzwords: allele, chance, Punnet squares, pedigree chart, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, pure bred, hybrid
How all the buzzwords in the objectives now come to light.

Alleles, Genetics and Variation
Buzzwords – Technical Jargon in GeneticsAllele – two different versions of the same gene (one from mum and one from dad)
Chance – probability (as either a fraction or a percentage. E.g. 1 out of 4 or 25%)
Punnett Squares – the square chart for working out inheritance
Dominant – the stronger allele (version of the gene)
Recessive – the weaker allele (version of the gene)
Pure bred – both alleles for a gene are the same as each other
Homozygous – means pure bred
Heterozygous – the two alleles (for a gene) are different
