Somatic vs. Gamete Cells

Your somatic (body) cells have 46 chromosomes in total (diploid)

Your gametes (sex cells) have 23 chromosomes (haploid)

You get 23 chromosomes from mom, 23 from dad. = 46 in total

GAMETES:

Meiosis makes Gametes

During meiosis, a single cell divides to make daughter cells.

Homologous chromosomes (the chromosomes from mom and dad) experience where they exchange pieces. This genetic diversity

At the end of meiosis four gametes are made .

Monohybrid Punnett Practice #1

Two guinea pigs heterozygous for the hairy trait sexually reproduce with each other. Hairy (H) guinea pigs are dominant to hairless (h)

What are the genotypes of the two parents? __Hh_____& _______

Place parent genotypes in the colored boxes. Then, fill in what the offspring genotypes would be.

Bonus: what are the odds that the resulting offspring will be hairy?

¾ = 75%

Hairless: 25% = ¼
