Phenetics
· How to read a cladogram and tree diagram. Be able to tell which organisms are related/more similar.
· How to determine phenotype when given the genotype and representative alleles (Example Problem: Y is dominant to y; Y codes for yellow. What is the phenotype of a Yy individual? What is the phenotype of a yy individual?)
· How to do a Punnett Square and determine the genotypes/phenotypes of the offspring for one or two traits
· Know the Hardy-Weinberg formula and that p+q=1.0
· Know how to determine allele frequencies and expected genotype frequencies in a population of unknown genotypes(solve a problem similar to Question #1 on homework)
· Know all material on the three lab handouts: Plant-like Protists/Plants Part I; Plants Part II; and Fungi.
· Be sure to study quizzes!!!
