Under Kinship Better explanation between allele and genotype #5

During the Kinship Matrix section, there was discussion about using allele probabilities vs genotype probabilities. There was a specific question about why you would choose to use one over the other, however, for me I wasn't even sure what was meant by the difference between allele probabilities and genotype probabilities. It turns out when I spoke to Dan during break, I actually had the two concepts reversed.

Thanks @obwalton for bringing this up. I used one of @dmgatti 's graphics to describe the difference between allele and genotype probabilities in the preceding episode on calculating genotype probabilities.

@dmgatti - is there a concise way of explaining when/why to use genotype vs. allele probs in the succeeding episode on kinship?
