2.  Born in 1822  Was a monk and taught high school  He loved working in the monastery gardens  Decided to study inheritance in pea plants  Considered the Father of Genetics

3.  He chose pea plants because they reproduce quickly and produce large numbers of offspring  He studied seven traits with two contrasting characters: seed shape, seed color, seed coat color, pod shape, pod color, flower position, and plant height

6.  Genetics – the scientific study of heredity  True-breeding – produce offspring identical to themselves if they self- pollinate  Hybrids – offspring of crosses between parents with different traits

7.  P generation – the parents of a cross  F 1 generation – “first filial”, the offspring of the P generation  F 2 generation – “second filial”, the offspring of the F 1 generation

8.  Mendel crossed parents who were true- breeding with opposite traits (tall vs. short)  The F 1 generation all had the same trait (tall)  He then allowed the F 1 generation to self-pollinate…

9.  …and the other trait reappeared!  ¾ of the offspring had the trait of the F 1 generation, but ¼ of the offspring had the trait that disappeared

10.  Inheritance is determined by factors (genes) that are passed from one generation to the next.  These genes can come in different forms called alleles.  Law of dominance – some alleles are dominant and others are recessive

11.  Law of Segregation – during meiosis the alleles separate from one another so that each gamete receives one allele

12.  Dominant – the trait that is expressed (T)  Recessive – the trait that is hidden (t)  Homozygous – has two of the same allele (TT or tt)  Heterozygous – has one of each allele (Tt)

13.  Genotype – the genetic makeup of an organism (Tt)  Phenotype – the physical appearance of the trait (tall)  Monohybrid – a cross showing one trait  Dihybrid – a cross showing two traits

14. Sexual Reproduction and Genetics Punnett Squares  Predict the possible offspring of a cross between two known genotypes

15. Sexual Reproduction and Genetics Punnett Square— Dihybrid Cross  Four types of alleles from the male gametes and four types of alleles from the female gametes can be produced.  The resulting phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1.

16. Genetic Recombination  The new combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment Sexual Reproduction and Genetics  Combinations of genes due to independent assortment can be calculated using the formula 2 n, where n is the number of chromosome pairs.

17.  One allele is not completely dominant over another  The phenotype of the heterozygous organism is somewhere in between

18.  Both alleles contribute equally to the phenotype of the organism  Ex. In cattle red hair is codominant with white hair; cattle with both alleles are roan (have both white and red hairs)

19.  Genes that have more than two alleles  Ex. Blood type ◦ What are the 4 blood types?  A – I A I A or I A i  B – I B I B or I B i  AB – I A I B  O – ii

20. Polyploidy Sexual Reproduction and Genetics  Polyploidy is the occurrence of one or more extra sets of all chromosomes in an organism.  A triploid organism, for instance, would be designated 3n, which means that it has three complete sets of chromosomes.

21.  Traits that are controlled by two or more genes  Ex. Height, skin color

22.  Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment says that the alleles separate during meiosis independent from each other  Thomas Hunt Morgan identified that genes on the same chromosome would move together – they are “linked”

23.  Sex chromosomes – the chromosomes that determine the sex of the organism ◦ Male – XY  ½ of the sperm with carry an X, the other ½ will carry a Y ◦ Female – XX  All eggs carry an X  Autosomes – all other chromosomes

24.  A picture of the chromosomes

25.  Genes that are found on the X or Y chromosome  Most sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome  Since males only have 1 X, all X- linked alleles are expressed, even if they are recessive  Ex. Baldness, colorblindness, hemophilia

27.  Down syndrome or Trisomy 21 – caused by an extra 21 st chromosome (nondisjunction)  Turner’s syndrome – females with only one X chromosome (XO)  Klinefelter’s syndrome – males with an extra X chromosome (XXY)

28.  A type of “family tree” ◦ Circle – female ◦ Square – male ◦ Shaded – has the trait ◦ Unshaded – does not have the trait ◦ ½ shaded – is a carrier of the trait ◦ Horizontal line – represents marriage ◦ Vertical line – connects parents to children
