Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance, or heredity passing traits to the next generation Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics How Genetics Began Inheritance, or heredity passing traits to the next generation Mendel performed cross-pollination in pea plants. Mendel followed various traits in the pea plants he bred.

The parent generation is also known as the P generation. Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics The parent generation is also known as the P generation.

The second filial (F2) generation is the offspring from the F1 cross. Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics The offspring of this P cross are called the first filial (F1) generation. The second filial (F2) generation is the offspring from the F1 cross.

Mendel studied seven different traits. Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Mendel studied seven different traits. Seed or pea color Flower color Seed pod color Seed shape or texture Seed pod shape Stem length Flower position

An alternative form of a trait Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Genes in Pairs Allele An alternative form of a trait Ex. Eye color

Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Dominance Homozygous 2 of the same alleles for a particular trait, also called pure bred. Heterozygous 2 different alleles for a particular trait, also called hybrids. Bb bb BB

Genotype and Phenotype Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Genotype and Phenotype Genotype allele pairs (GENES) TT, Tt, BB, bb, Mm Phenotype The observable characteristic or outward expression of an allele pair (WHAT YOU SEE) Bb

Dominant vs. Recessive Dominant Recessive The phenotype of the organism is determined completely by one of the alleles Written with at least 1 capital letter (TT or Tt) Recessive The other allele, has no big effect on the organism's phenotype Written with lowercase letters (bb) Example: Brown eyes is dominant and blue eyes is recessive

Mendel’s Conclusions cont’d… Ex. Tall plant (T) x short plant (t) = tall offspring (Tt) What allele was dominant?

Mendel’s Law of Segregation Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Mendel’s Law of Segregation Two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis. During fertilization, two alleles for that trait unite.

Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Monohybrid Cross A cross that involves hybrids for a single trait is called a monohybrid cross.

Dihybrids are heterozygous for both traits. Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Dihybrid Cross The simultaneous inheritance of two or more traits in the same plant is a dihybrid cross. Dihybrids are heterozygous for both traits.

Law of Independent Assortment Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Law of Independent Assortment Random distribution of alleles occurs during gamete formation Genes on separate chromosomes sort independently during meiosis. Each allele combination is equally likely to occur. Law of Segregation The two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis (ex: If a parent is Tt, then either T or t can be given to the offspring)

Predict the possible offspring of a cross between two known genotypes Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian Genetics Punnett Squares Predict the possible offspring of a cross between two known genotypes

Monohybrid Crosses Do this on your paper: Tt X Tt Cross: Give the genotypes, phenotypes, & percentages Go to Section:

Monohybrid Cross Answer… Go to Section:

Probability the chance or percentage of chance of a trait being exhibited

Punnett Square—Dihybrid Cross Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.2 Mendelian 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.

Genetic Recombination Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy Genetic Recombination The new combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment

10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy Gene Linkage The linkage of genes on a chromosome results in an exception to Mendel’s law of independent assortment because linked genes usually do not segregate independently.

Chapter 11 Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity 11.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance Incomplete Dominance The heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate phenotype between the two homozygous phenotypes.

Both alleles are expressed in the heterozygous condition. Chapter 11 Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity 11.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance Codominance Both alleles are expressed in the heterozygous condition.

Multiple alleles can demonstrate a hierarchy of dominance. Chapter 11 Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity 11.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance Coat Color of Rabbits Multiple alleles can demonstrate a hierarchy of dominance. In rabbits, four alleles code for coat color: C, cch, ch, and c. Option 2 (continued on the next slide)

ABO blood groups have three forms of alleles. Chapter 11 Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity 11.2 Complex Patterns of Inheritance Multiple Alleles Blood groups in humans ABO blood groups have three forms of alleles.

Human Blood Typing Human blood is classified according to the presence or absence of certain markers called antigens that are located on the surface of red blood cells. If you have the A antigen, you have type A blood and antibodies against B blood. If you have the B antigen, you have type B blood and antibodies against A blood.

What about O & AB? If you don’t have either the A or B antigen, you have type O blood. In the US, O is the most common blood type. You have antibodies against A and B. You are also a universal donor. (You can give blood to anyone) If you have both the A and B antigens, you have type AB blood and this is the rarest form of blood. No antibodies against either A or B.

Describe sex-linked alleles Sex-linked alleles: controlled by genes located on sex chromosomes Usually carried on X chromosome Since females are XX, they are usually carriers of the trait Since males are XY, they have a higher tendency for inheritance of trait

Polyploidy is the occurrence of one or more extra sets of all Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy 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.

Images of chromosomes stained during metaphase Chapter 11 Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity 11.3 Chromosomes and Human Heredity Karyotype Studies Karyotype—micrograph in which the pairs of homologous chromosomes are arranged in decreasing size. Images of chromosomes stained during metaphase Chromosomes are arranged in decreasing size to produce a micrograph.

Chapter 10 Sexual Reproduction and Genetics 10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy Epistasis- is a gene at one location on a chromosome can affect the expression of a gene at a second location A good example of epistasis is the genetic interactions that produce coat color in horses and other mammals. In horses, brown coat color (B) is dominant over tan (b). Gene expression is dependent on a second gene that controls the deposition of pigment in hair.
