Overview
Genetic Inheritance Format for Exp. 1
Typed Genetic Inheritance report must be in the following format for full credit in Lab Report #1.
1) Number the figure, e.g., Figure 1.
2) State whether the cross is F1 or F2, as well as the number of the vial, e.g., F1 #215
3) Type out the genetic cross, e.g., Xw/Xw x Xw+/Y
4) State whether the cross is sex-linked, autosomal, or sex-linked and autosomal.
5) Always write the dominant allele first, e.g., bw+/bw
6) Capitalize the X and Y chromosomes. Write the gene names in lower case. Use the superscript function to raise the + sign or the genes on X chromosomes (see #3 & 5 above).
7) State the ratio of offspring’s phenotypes and genotypes (see below).
8) Always follow each F1 cross with the F2 cross of the same type (sex-linked F1 followed by sex-linked F2)
