Choose the dominant allele: A or a.

Simple Mendelian model: one autosomal locus, two alleles, complete dominance, independent random gametes. It excludes linkage, sex-linked inheritance, penetrance, mutations and environmental effects. It is not genetic diagnosis.

Enter the values, then calculate.

Each parent contributes one allele. Each cell has probability 1/4; cells with the same genotype are combined.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Select both parental genotypes.
  2. Choose the dominant allele: A or a.
  3. Review four equally likely offspring combinations and their probabilities.
