Part 4: Probability in Genetics

## Pedigree Analysis

Part 4 of 7 โ€” Pedigree Analysis

  1. Circles = females, squares = males
  2. Filled = affected, open = unaffected
  3. Autosomal dominant: affected in every generation
  4. Autosomal recessive: can skip generations, carrier parents

### Key Details

  • Circles = females, squares = males
  • Filled = affected, open = unaffected
  • Autosomal dominant: affected in every generation

Part 5: Pedigree Analysis

## Chi-Square Analysis

Part 5 of 7 โ€” Chi-Square Analysis

  1. Tests if observed data fits expected ratios
  2. ฯ‡ยฒ = ฮฃ (observed - expected)ยฒ / expected
  3. Degrees of freedom = categories - 1
  4. p < 0.05: reject null hypothesis (results differ significantly)
