Today we are going to look at how scientists can figure out the probability - the chance - that offspring from a set of parents will have a certain trait - like attached earlobes.

Part 1 - Read about Punnett Squares and do the practice problem on THIS SITE

Part 2 - Now read about sex linked traits ( traits that are carried only by girls or only by boys) on THIS SITE then do the practice problems on THIS SITE

Part 3 - Try the Sponge Bob Genetics Problems on the handout
