26 This week s lab: Lab 5a Intro Punnett squares Meiosis generates a diversity haploids via crossing-over, independent assortment Fertilization generates diversity because it is random Punnett squares help us figure out all possible combinations Real Data Track real phenotypes in progeny from known crosses Compare with predictions Molecular genotyping Genotypes can be inferred through phenotypes and pedigrees Genotypes can be determined directly through molecular means (PCR, restriction digests, sequencing)

27 Next week s lab: Lab 5b week 1 intro Culture Pseudomonas syringae (2 strains) for innoculations Prepare dilutions of bacterial solutions for controlled experiment Innoculate A. thaliana with pathogen Predict phenotypes based on genotypes and classical genetic analysis from lab 5a

Transformation: change in genotype & phenotype due to assimilation of external DNA by a cell.
