7 Blending Inheritance Theories of inheritance in Mendel’s time:
Based on blending Parents of contrasting appearance produce offspring of intermediate appearance Mendel’s findings were in contrast with this He formulated the particulate theory of inheritance Inheritance involves reshuffling of genes from generation to generation

8 One-Trait Inheritance
Mendel performed cross-breeding experiments Used “true-breeding” (homozygous) plants Chose varieties that differed in only one trait (monohybrid cross) Performed reciprocal crosses Parental generation = P First filial generation offspring = F1 Second filial generation offspring = F2 Formulated the Law of Segregation

10 Law of Segregation Each individual has a pair of factors (alleles) for each trait The factors (alleles) segregate (separate) during gamete (sperm & egg) formation Each gamete contains only one factor (allele) from each pair Fertilization gives the offspring two factors for each trait

11 Modern Genetics View Each trait in a pea plant is controlled by two alleles (alternate forms of a gene) Dominant allele (capital letter) masks the expression of the recessive allele (lower-case) Alleles occur on a homologous pair of chromosomes at a particular gene locus Homozygous = identical alleles Heterozygous = different alleles

13 Genotype versus Phenotype
Refers to the two alleles an individual has for a specific trait If identical, genotype is homozygous If different, genotype is heterozygous Phenotype Refers to the physical appearance of the individual

14 Genotype versus Phenotype

15 Punnett Square Table listing all possible genotypes resulting from a cross All possible sperm genotypes are lined up on one side All possible egg genotypes are lined up on the other side Every possible zygote genotypes are placed within the squares

16 Punnett Square Allows us to easily calculate probability, of genotypes and phenotypes among the offspring Punnett square in next slide shows a 50% (or ½) chance The chance of E = ½ The chance of e = ½ An offspring will inherit: The chance of EE =½!½=¼ The chance of Ee =½!½=¼ The chance of eE =½!½=¼ The chance of ee =½!½=¼

18 Monohybrid Test cross Individuals with recessive phenotype always have the homozygous recessive genotype However, individuals with dominant phenotype have indeterminate genotype May be homozygous dominant, or Heterozygous Test cross determines genotype of individual having dominant phenotype

21 Two-Trait Inheritance
Dihybrid cross uses true-breeding plants differing in two traits Observed phenotypes among F2 plants Formulated Law of Independent Assortment The pair of factors for one trait segregate independently of the factors for other traits All possible combinations of factors can occur in the gametes Mendel tracked each trait through two generations. P generation is the parental generation in a breeding experiment. F1 generation is the first-generation offspring in a breeding experiment. F2 generation is the second-generation offspring in a breeding experiment

25 Human Genetic Disorders
Genetic disorders are medical conditions caused by alleles inherited from parents Autosome - Any chromosome other than a sex chromosome (X or Y) Genetic disorders caused by genes on autosomes are called autosomal disorders Some genetic disorders are autosomal dominant An individual with AA has the disorder An individual with Aa has the disorder An individual with aa does NOT have disorder Other genetic disorders are autosomal recessive An individual with AA does NOT have disorder An individual with Aa does NOT have disorder, but is a carrier An individual with aa DOES have the disorder

IV Key aa aa A? aa = affected Aa = carrier (unaffected) AA = unaffected A? = unaffected (one allele unknown) Autosomal recessive disorders Most affected children have unaffected parents. Heterozygotes (Aa) have an unaffected phenotype. Two affected parents will always have affected children. Close relatives who reproduce are more likely to have affected children. Both males and females are affected with equal frequency.

36 Multiple Allelic Traits
Some traits controlled by multiple alleles The gene exists in several allelic forms (but each individual only has two) ABO blood types The alleles: IA = A antigen on red cells, anti-B antibody in plasma IB = B antigen on red cells, anti-AB antibody in plasma I = Neither A nor B antigens, both antibodies

37 Multiple Allelic Traits

38 Pleioptropic Effects Pleiotropy occurs when a single mutant gene affects two or more distinct and seemingly unrelated traits. Marfan syndrome have disproportionately long arms, legs, hands, and feet; a weakened aorta; poor eyesight

40 Polygenic Inheritance
Occurs when a trait is governed by two or more genes having different alleles Each dominant allele has a quantitative effect on the phenotype These effects are additive Result in continuous variation of phenotypes

42 X – Linked Inheritance In mammals
The X and Y chromosomes determine gender Females are XX Males are XY The term X-linked is used for genes that have nothing to do with gender Carried on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome does not carry these genes Discovered in the early 1900s by a group at Columbia University, headed by Thomas Hunt Morgan. Performed experiments with fruit flies They can be easily and inexpensively raised in simple laboratory glassware Fruit flies have the same sex chromosome pattern as humans

44 Human X-Linked Disorders
Several X-linked recessive disorders occur in humans: Color blindness The allele for the blue-sensitive protein is autosomal The alleles for the red- and green-sensitive pigments are on the X chromosome. Menkes syndrome Caused by a defective allele on the X chromosome Disrupts movement of the metal copper in and out of cells. Muscular dystrophy Wasting away of the muscle Adrenoleukodystrophy X-linked recessive disorder Failure of a carrier protein to move either an enzyme or very long chain fatty acid into peroxisomes. Hemophilia Absence or minimal presence of a clotting factor VIII, or clotting factor IX Affected person’s blood either does not clot or clots very slowly.

Her mother must have it or be a carrier. • The characteristic often skips a generation from the grandfather to the grandson. • If a woman has the characteristic, all of her sons will have it.
