1. Dominant, Recessive, Heterozygous, Homozygous  Catalyst:  Roy has a deep voice. Is this genotype or phenotype? HOW DO YOU KNOW?  Khadijah has one allele for being tall, and one allele for being short. Is this genotype or phenotype? HOW DO YOU KNOW? Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Catalyst!

2. Objectives  By the end of today, all SWBAT…  Differentiate between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes  Determine the phenotype of an organism, based on its genotype

3. Quick Review  All living organisms have two alleles for every gene  Gene controls one trait  Allele = version of a gene  Genotype = which alleles you got from parents  Phenotype = physical expression of the genotype

4. Principle of Dominance  The two types of alleles are dominant and recessive.  Key Point #1: If an organism is heterozygous, a dominant allele will mask the recessive allele.  Example: hair color (gene) The brown allele is dominant, the blonde allele is recessive Brenna has two blonde alleles. Her hair color is blonde. Wellington has two brown alleles. His hair is brown. JaQuia has one brown allele and one blonde allele. Her hair is BROWN!!!

5. Check for Understanding (CFU)  Long fingers is dominant, short fingers is recessive  Sabreen has two dominant alleles  What type of fingers does she have?

6. Check for Understanding (CFU)  Long fingers is dominant, short fingers is recessive  Joceyln has one dominant allele and one recessive allele  What type of fingers does she have?

7. Check for Understanding (CFU)  Long fingers is dominant, short fingers is recessive  Jessica has two recessive alleles  What type of fingers does he have?

8. Check for Understanding (CFU)  Long fingers is dominant, short fingers is recessive  Wafa has one dominant allele and one recessive allele  What type of fingers does he have?

9. But Mr. J, I’m Lazy!  Let’s abbreviate things.  Key Point #2: There are three rules for abbreviating genotype 1. Dominant allele = capital letter 2. Recessive allele = lowercase letter 3. BOTH alleles use the first letter of the dominant trait  Long tails in dogs are dominant, short tails are recessive  Long = L  Short = l

10. Dominant and Recessive Genotypes  For every gene you have two alleles, and each of those could be dominant or recessive.  So a dog could have THREE different GENOTYPES for tail length:  LL  Ll  ll Both dominant = Homozygous dominant Both recessive = Homozygous recessive One dominant, one recessive = Heterozygous

11. Dominant and Recessive Phenotypes  But dogs could only have two different tail lengths.  Remember that a dominant allele will mask a recessive one. So for this genotype you get….  LL (long tail)  Ll (long tail)  ll (short tail)

12. Let’s Practice More  Pea plants can have two alleles for the gene for height: tall and short. Tall is dominant to short.  What letters would represent the two alleles?  What would be the genotype of a heterozygous flower?  What would be the phenotype of a flower with TT?  What would be the phenotype of a flower with Tt? T, t Tt Tall

13. two types WORD BANK: allele, dominant (3x), homozygous recessive, recessive (2x), homozygous dominant, heterozygous two of this kind one of each looks

14. Whiteboard Practice!

15. Guided Practice  The bunnies of the forests of Louisiana can either be brown or black. Brown is dominant over black.  Write all the genotypes possible for a brown bunny.

16. Guided Practice  The bunnies of the forests of Louisiana can either be brown or black. Brown is dominant to black.  What is the genotype AND phenotype of a bunny that is heterozygous?

17. Guided Practice  The bunnies of the forests of Louisiana can either be brown or black. Brown is dominant to black.  What is the genotype AND phenotype of a bunny that is homozygous recessive?

18. Guided Practice  People can have either free or attached earlobes. Free is dominant over attached.  What letters would you use to represent EACH allele?

19. Guided Practice  People can have either free or attached earlobes. Free is dominant to attached.  What genotype AND phenotype of someone who is homozygous dominant?

20. Guided Practice  People can have either free or attached earlobes. Free is dominant to attached.  What genotype AND phenotype of someone who is heterozygous?

21. Guided Practice  Chickpeas can be either green or yellow. Yellow is dominant over green.  List all the possible genotypes for a yellow chickpea.

22. Guided Practice  Chickpeas can be either green or yellow. Yellow is dominant over green.  What is genotype AND phenotype of a chickpea that is homozygous recessive?

23. Guided Practice  Chickpeas can be either green or yellow. Yellow is dominant over green.  What is genotype AND phenotype of a chickpea that is heterozygous?

24. Independent Practice (IP)

25. Key Point Wrap-Up  Key Point #1: Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles.  Homozygous dominant = dominant phenotype  Homozygous recessive = recessive phenotype  Heterozygous = dominant phenotype  Key Point #2: There are three rules for abbreviating genotype 1. Dominant allele = capital letter 2. Recessive allele = lowercase letter 3. BOTH alleles use the same letter

26. Pre-test

27. Exit Question  The gene for fur color in mice has alleles for brown and white. Brown is dominant to white.  What letters are used for the alleles?  Write the genotype AND phenotype for a mouse that is homozygous recessive. Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Exit Question!
