  • Rule of Multiplication

    The probability of two independent events occurring together is the product of their individual probabilities.

  • Independent Events

    Events where the outcome of one does not affect the outcome of another.

  • What is the probability of flipping two coins and both landing on heads?

    1/4 (0.25)

  • Rule of Addition

    The probability of one event or another occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities.

  • What is another name for the Rule of Multiplication?

    The "And" Rule or "Product Rule"

  • What is the probability of flipping two coins and both landing on tails?

    1/4 (0.25)

  • What is another name for the Rule of Addition?

    The Or Rule or Sum Rule

  • What is the probability of getting a homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive offspring?

    1/2 (0.5)

  • What does a 1/4 probability in a Punnett square represent?

    The likelihood of a specific genotype occurring in one of the four possible outcomes.

    1/4 (0.25)

  • What is the probability of two independent events both occurring?

    The product of their individual probabilities.

  • What is the probability of one event or another event occurring?

    The sum of their individual probabilities.

  • What does a Punnett square help predict?

    Genetic outcomes of a cross.
