Mendelian Genetics
11.1 Gregor Mendel
Who was Gregor Mendel?

Austrian monk



Also “high school”
science/math teacher
One of the first to use
statistics to analyze results
Studied garden peas

Attempted to refute
Blended Inheritance belief
What was Mendel’s experimental design?


Create true-breed strains
Selected for phenotypic traits



Genotype vs. phenotype
Crossed true-breed plants
Kept track of offspring
phenotypes
What is Mendel’s law of segregation?


Traits segregate
independently
Today we now know




What alleles are
What a locus is
How genotype
influences phenotype
Why traits segregate
independently

Remember
independent
assortment in meiosis
I?
What is the difference between dominant and
recessive?


Dominant is
phenotypically
expressed
To be expressed,
a recessive must
be paired with
________
How can I describe an individual’s genotype?

Use capital letter for ____________ allele
Use small case letter for _________ allele
Homozygous dominant____________

Homozygous recessive_____________

Heterozygote_________________



If a disease, then is a CARRIER
What’s the relationship of genotype to phenotype?

Genotype _________ phenotype
If T = tall and t = short, then
TT is a _________ plant

Tt is a _________ plant

Tt is a _________ plant



11.2 Mendel’s experiments
So can you tell me more about Mendel’s monohybrid
cross?


F1 and F2
generations
showed
something
interesting
Ratio: _______
Punnett square
What were the F2 offspring like?

Ratio:
What did Mendel think about this ratio?

He determined
traits (AKA alleles)
are either
________ or
_______
What happened when
Mendel followed two traits?



Dihybrid cross
Ratio of cross of two
heterozygotes is:
Thus, the traits assort
___________ of each
other when making
gametes

11.3 Solving genetics problems
How do we know a trait is dominant (or recessive) in
humans?



Can’t do breeding experiments like Mendel!
Pedigrees
Carriers
So what do I do with all this information?


Solve genetics problems!
Use the five steps to solving a genetics problem…
What are the five steps to solving a genetics
problem?
1.

4.
5.
Code the alleles and identify which is
dominant/recessive
Determine parental (or given) genotypes
Determine parental (or given) gametes
Draw Punnett square
Re-read problem to be sure you are answering the
question correctly.
Let’s try it!


In humans, being able to roll your tongue is dominant (R).
If a heterozygous woman marries a man who can’t roll his
tongue, what are the chances a child of theirs also won’t
be able to roll its tongue?
First step…
Step 1
Code the alleles and identify which is dominant/recessive
In humans, being able to
roll your tongue is
dominant (R). If a
heterozygous woman
marries a man who can’t
roll his tongue, what are
the chances a child of
theirs also won’t be able to
roll its tongue?
Step 2
Determine parental (or given) genotypes
In humans, being able to
roll your tongue is
dominant (R). If a
heterozygous woman
marries a man who can’t
roll his tongue, what are
the chances a child of
theirs also won’t be able to
roll its tongue?
Step 3
Determine parental (or given) gametes
In humans, being able to
roll your tongue is
dominant (R). If a
heterozygous woman
marries a man who can’t
roll his tongue, what are
the chances a child of
theirs also won’t be able to
roll its tongue?
Step 4
Draw Punnett square
In humans, being able to
roll your tongue is
dominant (R). If a
heterozygous woman
marries a man who can’t
roll his tongue, what are
the chances a child of
theirs also won’t be able to
roll its tongue?
Step 5
Re-read problem to be sure you are answering the question
correctly.

In humans, being able to roll your tongue is dominant
(R). If a heterozygous woman marries a man who can’t
roll his tongue, what are the chances a child of theirs
also won’t be able to roll its tongue?

Answer:
Now you try!


If a homozygous tongue roller and a non-tongue roller
marry, what are the chances their child will be able to roll
its tongue?
USE THE 5 STEPS!!!!
Here’s the solution:

If a homozygous tongue roller and a non-tongue roller marry, what are
the chances their child will be able to roll its tongue?
Now practice with the genetics problems…

You will be expected to know and use the 5 steps on your
exam!

11.4 Human genetic disorders
What are autosomal recessive disorders?


Autosome = ________
Examples



Tay-Sachs disease
Cystic fibrosis
Phenylketonuria
What are autosomal dominant disorders?


Only need one
copy of the allele
to have the disease
Examples



Neurofibromatosis
Huntington’s
disease
Achondroplasia
Mendelian Genetics
11.5 Beyond Mendelian genetics
Is complete dominance the only kind of dominance?


No!
Incomplete dominance



Dominant allele cannot fully
mask the recessive allele
Sickle cell anemia
Curly vs. straight hair
Is complete dominance the only kind of dominance?



Codominance
Multiple alleles
Blood types
demonstrates both
What is polygenic inheritance?

More than one gene affects phenotype




Skin color in humans
Human height
Eye color
Seed color in wheat
What is epistasis?


One gene affects many traits
Marfan Syndrome


Defective collagen gene
Affects tendons, ligaments, bone, heart tissue, etc.
Can environment affect phenotype?



Yes!
