End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 2 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Independent Assortment To determine if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects the segregation of another pair of alleles, Mendel performed a two-factor cross. Independent Assortment

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 3 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Independent Assortment The Two-Factor Cross: F 1 Mendel crossed true-breeding plants that produced round yellow peas (genotype RRYY) with true-breeding plants that produced wrinkled green peas (genotype rryy). RRYY x rryy All of the F 1 offspring produced round yellow peas (RrYy).

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 4 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Independent Assortment The alleles for round (R) and yellow (Y) are dominant over the alleles for wrinkled (r) and green (y).

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 7 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The alleles for seed shape segregated independently of those for seed color. This principle is known as independent assortment. Genes that segregate independently do not influence each other's inheritance. Independent Assortment

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 8 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The principle of independent assortment states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. Independent assortment helps account for the many genetic variations observed in plants, animals, and other organisms. Independent Assortment

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 9 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall A Summary of Mendel's Principles Genes are passed from parents to their offspring. If two or more forms (alleles) of the gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant and others may be recessive.

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 10 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene. These genes are segregated from each other when gametes are formed. The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another. A Summary of Mendel's Principles

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 11 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, and many traits are controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes.

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 12 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Incomplete Dominance When one allele is not completely dominant over another it is called incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is between the two homozygous phenotypes.

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 14 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Codominance In codominance, both alleles contribute to the phenotype. In certain varieties of chicken, the allele for black feathers is codominant with the allele for white feathers. Heterozygous chickens are speckled with both black and white feathers. The black and white colors do not blend to form a new color, but appear separately.

End Show 11–3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics Slide 15 of 31 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles Multiple Alleles Genes that are controlled by more than two alleles are said to have multiple alleles. An individual can’t have more than two alleles. However, more than two possible alleles can exist in a population. A rabbit's coat color is determined by a single gene that has at least four different alleles.

Full color: CC, Cc ch, Cc h, or Cc Chinchilla: c ch c h, c ch c ch, or c ch cHimalayan: c h c, or c h c h AIbino: cc KEY C = full color; dominant to all other alleles c ch = chinchilla; partial defect in pigmentation; dominant to c h and c alleles c h = Himalayan; color in certain parts of the body; dominant to c allele c = albino; no color; recessive to all other alleles
