3. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Mendel’s principles are valid for all sexually reproducing species –However, often the genotype does not dictate the phenotype in the simple way his principles describe VARIATIONS ON MENDEL’S PRINCIPLES 9.11 The relationship of genotype to phenotype is rarely simple

4. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings When an offspring’s phenotype—such as flower color— is in between the phenotypes of its parents, it exhibits incomplete dominance 9.12 Incomplete dominance results in intermediate phenotypes P GENERATION F 1 GENERATION F 2 GENERATION Red RR GametesRr White rr Pink Rr Rr RR rr 1/21/2 1/21/2 1/21/2 1/21/2 1/21/2 1/21/2 SpermEggs Pink Rr Pink rR White rr Red RR Figure 9.12A

6. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings In a population, multiple alleles often exist for a characteristic –The three alleles for ABO blood type in humans is an example 9.13 Many genes have more than two alleles in the population

7. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 9.13 –The alleles for A and B blood types are codominant, and both are expressed in the phenotype Blood Group (Phenotype) O Genotypes Antibodies Present in Blood Reaction When Blood from Groups Below Is Mixed with Antibodies from Groups at Left OABAB A B ii I A or I A i I B or I B i I A I B Anti-A Anti-B Anti-A

8. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 9.14 A single gene may affect many phenotypic characteristics A single gene may affect phenotype in many ways –This is called pleiotropy –The allele for sickle-cell disease is an example

Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Individual homozygous for sickle-cell allele Sickle-cell (abnormal) hemoglobin Abnormal hemoglobin crystallizes, causing red blood cells to become sickle-shaped Sickle cells Breakdown of red blood cells Clumping of cells and clogging of small blood vessels Accumulation of sickled cells in spleen Physical weakness Anemia Heart failure Pain and fever Brain damage Damage to other organs Spleen damage Kidney failure Rheumatism Pneumonia and other infections Paralysis Impaired mental function Figure 9.14

10. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Genetic testing can be of value to those at risk of developing a genetic disorder or of passing it on to offspring 9.15 Connection: Genetic testing can detect disease-causing alleles Figure 9.15B Figure 9.15A Dr. David Satcher, former U.S. surgeon general, pioneered screening for sickle-cell disease

11. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings This situation creates a continuum of phenotypes –Example: skin color 9.16 A single characteristic may be influenced by many genes

13. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Genes are located on chromosomes –Their behavior during meiosis accounts for inheritance patterns THE CHROMOSOMAL BASIS OF INHERITANCE 9.17 Chromosome behavior accounts for Mendel’s principles

14. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Certain genes are linked –They tend to be inherited together because they reside close together on the same chromosome 9.18 Genes on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together

18. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Crossing over is more likely to occur between genes that are farther apart –Recombination frequencies can be used to map the relative positions of genes on chromosomes 9.20 Geneticists use crossover data to map genes g Figure 9.20B Chromosome cl 17% 9%9.5%

20. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings A human male has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome A human female has two X chromosomes Whether a sperm cell has an X or Y chromosome determines the sex of the offspring SEX CHROMOSOMES AND SEX-LINKED GENES 9.21 Chromosomes determine sex in many species

23. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings All genes on the sex chromosomes are said to be sex-linked –In many organisms, the X chromosome carries many genes unrelated to sex –Fruit fly eye color is a sex-linked characteristic 9.22 Sex-linked genes exhibit a unique pattern of inheritance Figure 9.22A

24. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings –Their inheritance pattern reflects the fact that males have one X chromosome and females have two Figure 9.22B-D –These figures illustrate inheritance patterns for white eye color (r) in the fruit fly, an X-linked recessive trait FemaleMaleFemaleMaleFemaleMale XrYXrYXRXRXRXR XRXrXRXr XRYXRY XRXR XrXr Y XRXrXRXr XRXR XrXr XRXRXRXR XRXR Y XRYXRY XrXRXrXR XRYXRY XrYXrY XRXrXRXr XRXR XrXr XrXr Y XRXrXRXr XrXrXrXr XRYXRY XrYXrY XrYXrY R = red-eye allele r = white-eye allele

25. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Most sex-linked human disorders are due to recessive alleles –Examples: hemophilia, red-green color blindness –These are mostly seen in males –A male receives a single X-linked allele from his mother, and will have the disorder, while a female has to receive the allele from both parents to be affected 9.23 Connection: Sex-linked disorders affect mostly males Figure 9.23A

26. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings A high incidence of hemophilia has plagued the royal families of Europe Figure 9.23B Queen Victoria Albert AliceLouis AlexandraCzar Nicholas II of Russia Alexis

27. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Human Blood Type Blood type is determined by the presence or lack of presence of certain proteins (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells.

28. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings CoDominance - Review Both type A and type B blood are dominant over type O BUT THEY ARE NOT DOMINANT OVER EACH OTHER. Thus an individual with alleles for type A and type B blood expresses both antigens simultaneously and has type AB blood, which demonstrates codominance.

30. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings How do we express alleles for blood type in genotypes? Type O blood is ii Type A blood is I A I A (homozygous) or I A i (heterozygous) Type B blood is I B I B (homozygous) or I B i (heterozygous) Type AB blood is I A I B You can use these genotypes in Punnett squares.

31. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Codominance Punnett Squares A male is heterozygous for type A blood. A female has type AB blood. If these two have offspring.. draw a Punnett square showing the expected genotype and phenotype results for blood type.

Most people are Rh + If an Rh - woman is pregnant and the baby is Rh+, the mother’s body may reject the pregnancy; she must take anti-rejection drugs and be closely monitored.
