1. HW: HAGW!!! DO NOW Take our your vocab HW.
Talk to your table – which characteristics do people inherit from their parents?

2. Chapter 3:
“Heredity”

3. Heredity – the passing of traits from parent to offspring (children).
Vocabulary
Heredity – the passing of traits from parent to offspring (children).
Trait – a characteristic of an organism

4. Gregor Mendel (“Father of genetics”) was the first scientist to study genetics and how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

5. Pea Plants
Mendel bred pea plants and was able to see that some traits are passed down to offspring and some skip a generation.

6. Pollination
Pea plants are bred through pollination, which is the fertilization of plants that contains both male & female reproductive structures.
Fertilization occurs when a sperm from the pollen travels through the stigma and enters the egg in an ovule.

7. Pea Plants Create Offspring By…
Self-Pollination: pollen (male part) from one flower can fertilize the ovule (female part) of the SAME flower.

8. Pea Plants Create Offspring By…
2. Cross-Pollination: pollen (male parts) from one plant can fertilizes the ovule (female parts) of a flower on a DIFFERENT plant.

9. Why Mendel used pea plants:
Grow & reproduce quickly.
Easy self- pollination & cross-pollination
Many observable traits.
Traits are easily observed
Examples: seed shape,
flower color & plant height

12. Breeding Pea Plants Mendel bred one characteristic at a time.
He used true-breeding plants, in which all of the offspring will have the same trait as the parent.
Example: Purple flowers have purple offspring and white flowers have white offspring.

13. Mendel’s First Experiment
He used cross-pollination for two true-bred plants with different traits
He took a true-bred purple pea plant & cross-pollinated it with a true-bred white pea plant.

14. All pea plants came back purple!
RESULTS
All pea plants came back purple!

15. Mendel’s Conclusions
He found that one trait always showed up and the other trait disappeared.
He called them:
Dominant– The trait that always appears (purple). Shown as an upper case letter -“P”
Recessive - The trait that always disappears (white). Shown as a lower case letter “p” )

16. Mendel’s Second Experiment
Mendel allowed each offspring plant from the first experiment cross to self-pollinate.
Results – Some came back dominant (purple) and some came back recessive (white).

17. Simple Dominance Mendel’s experiment was an example of
Simple Dominance – When one trait is completely dominant to the other.
Example: Red and white flowers that are crossed only produce either red or white flowers.
They will NEVER produce pink flowers.

19. Generations
The true-breeding cross is called the P or parental generation.
The offspring of a cross-pollination are called the F1 or first generation.
The offspring from a F1 cross is called the F2 or second generation.

20. Ratios
Mendel created a ratio of dominant to recessive traits to determine the reason for the results.
Each parent donates genes to their children, so each offspring has two forms of genes called alleles.
(Ex. “AA”, “Aa”, “aa”)
Genes Can Be:
Heterozygous (Hybrid)- One dominant & one recessive trait (Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, etc.)
Homozygous – Both dominant or both recessive traits
Homozygous Dominant = AA
Homozygous Recessive = aa

21. True-Bred Short X True-Bred Long Resulted in 100% long offspring (F1)
“P (Parental) Cross”
True-Bred Short X True-Bred Long
Resulted in 100% long offspring (F1)

22. “F1 (First Generation) Cross”
Cross pollinated 2 of the long offspring produced in the “P” generation
F1 long X F1 long
Results:
75% long and 25% short

23. Genotype - the actual letters (alleles) that represent genes.
Example: GG, Gg, or gg
Phenotype - The physical appearance of those genes.
Ex: Green or Yellow Peas

24. Punnett Squares
Punnett Squares –a model used to represent crosses between organisms.
Example: What are the possible offspring of a cross between a homozygous dominant green plant and a homozygous recessive yellow plant?

25. Pd 9

26. Vocab Review
Genotype – the letters that represent the genes of an organism. Ex. GG, Gg, gg Phenotype – the physical representation of the genes of an organism. Ex. Green or yellow Homozygous – both letters are the same (GG or gg) Homozygous dominant – both letters are capital (GG) Homozygous recessive – both letters are lower case (gg) Heterozygous – one capital and one lowercase (Gg)

27. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step #1: Identify the alleles
Example: What are the possible offspring of a cross between a homozygous dominant green plant and a homozygous recessive yellow plant?
Homozygous dominant = GG parent
Homozygous recessive = gg parent

28. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step #2: Draw a square with 4 boxes
Example: What are the possible offspring of a cross between a homozygous dominant green plant and a homozygous recessive yellow plant?

29. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step # 3: Put the alleles from one parent on
the top of the box & the alleles from the
other parent on the side of the box
gg parent GG parent G G g g

30. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step # 4: Cross multiply to find the genotypes of the children G G G g g g

31. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step # 4: Cross multiply to find the genotypes of the children G G G g G g g G g G g g

32. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step # 5: Write the phenotypes of each child in the boxes G G G g G g g

33. Steps in doing a Punnett Square:
Step # 6: Calculate genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring G G
List all Genotypes: GG Gg gg

37. INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

38. DO NOW
The answers to last night’s HW are taped to your table. Please check your answers.
Take out your Pink Chapter 3 Notes Packet.

39. Incomplete Dominance
Sometimes there are two dominant alleles and no recessive alleles.
This means that one trait is not completely dominant over the other. Both are dominant!
Ex: flower color

40. In some flowers, red & white are both dominant.
A red flower has the phenotype ______ and the genotype .
A white flower has the phenotype ______ and the genotype
RED RR
WHITE WW

41. What if you cross a RED (RR) flower with a WHITE (WW) flower?

42. What color are the offspring?
WHITE RW RW W +
RED RW RW W
PINK

43. What is the phenotype of this flower
What is the phenotype of this flower? What is the genotype of this flower?

49. DO NOW – 1. hand in HW 2. please discuss with your group.
An alien species comes in 3
Colors:
RR = red
YR = orange
YY = yellow
Is this simple dominance or incomplete dominance?
What % of the offspring will be yellow if the parents are both orange?

50. Multiple Alleles Sometimes, there are more than 2 possibilities.
There are any set of 3 or more alleles.
Examples:
hair color, eye color, skin color

51. If you have these proteins, Then you are this blood type…
Your blood type is determined by which proteins you have on your red blood cell membrane.
If you have these proteins,
Then you are this blood type… A B
A and B AB
Neither A nor B

52. Blood Type A Blood Type B Blood Type AB Blood Type O A B A B A B A B A

54. Transfusions
If you’re very sick or in a car accident, you might need to receive blood in a transfusion to make up for blood that you lost.

55. Blood Transfusions….
….used to be dangerous. Sometimes people would die and sometimes they wouldn’t. Then, Karl Landsteiner discovered blood groups. Some blood groups are compatible and some are not. Patients who received blood that wasn’t compatible with their own blood died. Patients who received blood that was compatible with their own blood lived.

56. What if Blood Type A receives blood from Blood Type B?
The person’s body will see the B proteins and think they’re a stranger! A B
To protect itself from the stranger, the person’s body will clump up the invading strangers. This is called agglutination.
What does agglutination do to your body?

58. What if Blood Type AB receives blood from Blood Type B?
The person’s body will see the B proteins and think they’re friends! A B B
No clumping. No dying.

60. So which blood is compatible?
Blood type…
Can RECEIVE blood from… A
A, O B
B, O AB
A, B, AB, O O

61. How is blood type inherited?
Co dominance - When 2 alleles are equally dominant.
Example: Blood Type
2 Dominant alleles – A & B
1 recessive allele – O
Geno-type
Pheno-type AA A AO BB B BO AB OO O

62. What if you cross a AO parent with a BO parent?
