All Weasley children have freckles and


red hair. Use the Punnett Square to
predict the most likely genotypes of
Molly and Arthur Weasley for the two
traits.(parents)
Use the following allele possibilities:

r (recessive red color) = Red hair


R (dominant brown color) = Brown hair
F (dominant) = Has Freckles
f (recessive) = No freckles

Bellringer Answers: Weasley


Family
All Weasley children have freckles and red hair
100% probability. Possible genotypes for their red
hair (recessive trait) and freckles (dominant trait)
are: rr only for red hair and Ff or FF for freckles.
The Punnett Squares show the following genotypes
for the children:

Genetics in Harry Potter?


What types of inherited genetic traits are
described in the Harry Potter series?

Inherited Physical Traits


in Harry Potter
"All the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and
more children than they can afford."
-- Draco Malfoy (Sorcerers Stone, Ch.6)
He was almost twice as tall as a normal
man and at least five times as wide.
(Sorcerers Stone, Ch.1)
Harry had a thin face, knobby knees,
black hair, and bright green eyes.
(Sorcerers Stone, Ch.1)
A pale boy with a pointed face and whiteblond hair, Draco greatly resembled his
father. His mother was blonde too...
(Goblet of Fire, Ch.8)

Applying Genetics to
the Harry Potter Characters
What are some phenotypes (observable traits)
described in the four excerpts from the Harry Potter
books?

Applying Genetics to
the Harry Potter Characters
A genetic trait can be described in two
ways:
Phenotypes are observable traits
resulting from how ones genes are
expressed. Ex., hair color, a talent, sickle
cell disease, etc.
A Genotype consists of two letters that
represent a genes allele pair that results in
a phenotype.
8

Example: Freckles
Two possible phenotypes for freckles are:
Has Freckles (observable)
No freckles (observable)

A genotype for freckles is indicated by two


alleles in the freckle gene. The possible
alleles using the first letter of the trait f are:
F (dominant) = Has Freckles
f (recessive) = No freckles

Question: Using F and f, what are possible


genotypes of the allele pair for freckles?

Freckles: Genotypes &


Phenotypes

Question: Using F and f, what are possible


genotypes of the allele pair for freckles?
Genotype

Phenotype

(alleles inherited from parents) (physical appearance)

FF
====== has freckles
F f ====== has freckles
f f ====== no freckles
One dominant allele (F) is sufficient for its
trait (has freckles) to be observable, but both
alleles have to be recessive (f) for the
recessive trait (no freckles) to be observable.
10

Example: Red Hair


Red hair color is recessive to brown color.
One way to describe the hair color alleles
are:
Red hair = r (notes recessive red color)
Brown hair = R (notes dominant brown color)

Question: Using r (red hair) and R (brown


hair) alleles, what possible genotypes of
the allele pair are there?
Genotype (allele pair)
Phenotype
(appearance)

11

Example: Red Hair


Question: Using R (brown hair) and r (red
hair) alleles, what possible genotypes of
the allele pair are there?
Genotype (allele pair)
Phenotype (appearance)
RR
====== brown hair
Rr
====== brown hair
rr
====== red hair
