What is heredity? Slide 3 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel “Heredity” looks a little like the word “Inherit”. Heredity is a special type of inheritance – it is why we look and act somewhat like our parents. We will be studying genetics (the scientific study of heredity) for the next several weeks. Slide 4 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk (priest) and gardner. His work was important to the understanding of heredity. Mendel carried out his work with ordinary garden peas. Slide 5 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendel’s Peas Mendel knew each pea plant flower has both male and female reproductive parts, and that: • the male part of each flower produces pollen, (containing sperm). • the female part of the flower produces egg cells. Slide 6 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Pollen grains from a flower on a bee Slide 7 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendel’s Peas During sexual reproduction in pea plants, sperm (in pollen) and egg cells join in a process called fertilization. Fertilization produces a new cell, (and a new organism), called a zygote. Slide 8 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendel’s Peas Since they have both male and female reproductive parts, pea flowers can be self-pollinating, meaning they don’t need another pea plant to reproduce. Sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the same flower. Slide 9 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel The seeds that are produced by self-pollination inherit all of their characteristics from the single plant that bore them, because they only have one parent to get information from. Slide 10 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendel’s Peas Mendel had true-breeding pea plants that, if allowed to self-pollinate, would produce offspring identical to themselves. True-breeding tall plants would have only tall offspring, and true-breeding short plants would have only short offspring.) Slide 11 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Mendel wanted to produce seeds by joining male and female reproductive cells from two different plants. He cut away the pollen-bearing male parts of the plant and dusted the plant’s flower with pollen from another plant. Slide 12 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Gregor Mendel’s Peas This process is called crosspollination. Mendel was able to produce seeds that had two different parents. Slide 13 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel The offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called hybrids. As an example, for the trait of height, a hybrid plant can have both tall and short offspring. A true-breeding plant, the opposite of a hybrid, can only have plants just like itself. STOP HERE TODAY Slide 14 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Genes and Dominance A trait is a specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another. Some examples of traits in Mendel’s pea plants are 1)Height (tall or short) 2)Color (green or yellow) 3)Texture (round or wrinkled) Slide 15 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Genes and Dominance Mendel studied seven pea plant traits, each with two contrasting characters. (EX: tall and short, round and wrinkled) He crossed plants with each of the seven contrasting characters and studied their offspring. Slide 16 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Each original pair of plants is the P (parental) generation. The offspring are called the F1, or “first filial,” generation. Slide 17 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel The offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called hybrids. As an example, for the trait of height, a hybrid plant can have both tall and short offspring. A true-breeding plant, the opposite of a hybrid, can only have plants just like itself. STOP HERE TODAY Slide 18 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Mendel was surprised to find that the F1 hybrid plants all had the character of only one of the parents. Slide 19 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Mendel’s F1 Crosses on Pea Plants Slide 20 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Mendel’s Seven F1 Crosses on Pea Plants Mendel’s F1 Crosses on Pea Plants Slide 21 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by factors that are passed from one generation to the next. Today, scientists call the factors that determine traits genes. Slide 22 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance Each of the traits Mendel studied was controlled by one gene that occurred in two contrasting forms that produced different characters for each trait. The different forms of a gene are called alleles (EX: tall and short are opposite alleles of the same gene). Mendel’s second conclusion is called the principle of dominance. Slide 23 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance What is the principle of dominance? Slide 24 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance The principle of dominance states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. Slide 25 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Genes and Dominance An organism with a dominant allele for a trait will always exhibit that form of the trait.(EX a pea plant may inherit a tall allele from mom, and a short allele from dad, and the plant will only “show” the tall allele. That is the plant will be tall.) An organism with the recessive allele for a trait will exhibit that form only when the dominant allele for that trait is not present. Slide 26 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation What happens during segregation? Slide 27 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation Segregation Mendel crossed the F1 generation with itself to produce the F2 (second filial) generation. The traits controlled by recessive alleles reappeared in one fourth of the F2 plants. Slide 28 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation Mendel's F2 Generation P Generation Tall Short F2 Generation F1 Generation Tall Tall Tall Tall Tall Short Slide 29 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation Mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the F1 generation. The trait controlled by the recessive allele showed up in some of the F2 plants. Slide 30 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation The reappearance of the trait controlled by the recessive allele indicated that at some point the allele for shortness had been separated, or segregated, from the allele for tallness. Slide 31 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation Mendel suggested that the alleles for tallness and shortness in the F1 plants segregated from each other during the formation of the sex cells, or gametes. Slide 32 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation When each F1 plant flowers and produces gametes, the two alleles segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only a single copy of each gene. Therefore, each F1 plant produces two types of gametes—those with the allele for tallness, and those with the allele for shortness. Slide 33 of 32 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel Segregation Alleles separate during gamete formation.
