When you do a Pink x Pink cross, why can their
offspring be pink, red, or white?
Model of White, Red, and Pink Flowers

flower comes from a red and a white.

● GALLERY WALK
○ One student stays to explain
○ Others go look at other models and ask questions
 Bell Ringer
Using your model how are you explaining what happens when…
● We cross a Rounded x Rounded to get
75 Rounded and 25 Pointed
Return to CGS #1 and #2

● For population one→ Cotelydons

○ Rounded and Rounded
■ 75 Rounded
■ 25 Pointed
○ Can you use your model to explain this?
■ Did work why or why not?
○ What does that tell us?

Figure 1: A study used medical records for more than 27,000 dogs and compared the incidence of 24 genetic disorders in mixed versus
purebred dogs. A positive odds ratio indicates a higher incidence of the genetic disorder in purebred dogs.
Figure 2: The incidence of cataracts, a genetic disorder, was studied in 5 different purebred dogs and one mixed dog.
