Chapter 9 Introduction Patterns of Inheritance Dogs are one of man’s longest genetic experiments. – Over thousands of years, humans have chosen and mated dogs with specific traits. – The result has been an incredibly diverse array of dogs with distinct – body types and – behavioral traits.

Figure 9.0_1 Figure 9.0_2 Chapter 9: Big Ideas Mendel’s Laws The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance Variations on Mendel’s Laws Sex Chromosomes and Sex-Linked Genes 9.1 The science of genetics has ancient roots MENDEL’S LAWS Pangenesis, proposed around 400 BCE by Hippocrates, was an early explanation for inheritance that suggested that – particles called pangenes came from all parts of the organism to be incorporated into eggs or sperm and – characteristics acquired during the parents’ lifetime could be transferred to the offspring. Aristotle rejected pangenesis and argued that instead of particles, the potential to produce the traits was inherited. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 1 Figure 9.1 9.1 The science of genetics has ancient roots The idea that hereditary materials mix in forming offspring, called the blending hypothesis, was – suggested in the 19th century by scientists studying plants but – later rejected because it did not explain how traits that disappear in one generation can reappear in later generations. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 9.2 Experimental genetics began in an abbey garden 9.2 Experimental genetics began in an abbey garden Heredity is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. In 1866, Mendel Genetics is the scientific study of heredity. Gregor Mendel – began the field of genetics in the 1860s, – deduced the principles of genetics by breeding garden peas, and – relied upon a background of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 9.2A – correctly argued that parents pass on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors” and – stressed that the heritable factors (today called genes), retain their individuality generation after generation. A heritable feature that varies among individuals, such as flower color, is called a character. Each variant for a character, such as purple or white flowers, is a trait. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 9.2 Experimental genetics began in an abbey garden True-breeding varieties result when self-fertilization produces offspring all identical to the parent. The offspring of two different varieties are hybrids. The cross-fertilization is a hybridization, or genetic cross. True-breeding parental plants are the P generation. Hybrid offspring are the F1 generation. A cross of F1 plants produces an F2 generation. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 2 Figure 9.2B Figure 9.2C_s1 White 1 Removal of stamens Stamens Carpel Petal 2 Transfer Purple of pollen Parents (P) Carpel Stamen Figure 9.2C_s2 Figure 9.2C_s3 White White 1 Removal of 1 Removal of stamens stamens Stamens Carpel Parents (P) Stamens Carpel 2 Transfer Purple of pollen Parents (P) 2 Transfer Purple of pollen 3 Carpel matures 3 Carpel matures into pea pod into pea pod 4 Seeds from pod planted Offspring (F1) Figure 9.2D Figure 9.2D_1 Character Traits Dominant Recessive Character Flower color Purple Traits Dominant Recessive Purple White Axial Terminal Yellow Green Round Wrinkled White Flower color Flower position Axial Terminal Yellow Green Round Wrinkled Inflated Constricted Green Yellow Tall Dwarf Seed color Flower position Seed shape Pod shape Pod color Stem length Seed color Seed shape 3 Figure 9.2D_2 9.3 Mendel’s law of segregation describes the inheritance of a single character Traits Character Dominant Recessive A cross between two individuals differing in a single character is a monohybrid cross. Pod shape Inflated Constricted Pod color Green Yellow Mendel performed a monohybrid cross between a plant with purple flowers and a plant with white flowers. – The F1 generation produced all plants with purple flowers.

Mendel needed to explain why – white color seemed to disappear in the F1 generation and – white color reappeared in one quarter of the F2 offspring. Mendel observed the same patterns of inheritance for six other pea plant characters. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 4 9.3 Mendel’s law of segregation describes the inheritance of a single character Mendel developed four hypotheses, described below using modern terminology. 1. Alleles are alternative versions of genes that account for variations in inherited characters. 9.3 Mendel’s law of segregation describes the inheritance of a single character 3. If the alleles of an inherited pair differ, then one determines the organism’s appearance and is called the dominant allele. The other has no noticeable effect on the organism’s appearance and is called the recessive allele. – The phenotype is the appearance or expression of a trait. 2. For each characteristic, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent. The alleles can be the same or different. – The genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait. – The same phenotype may be determined by more than one genotype. – A homozygous genotype has identical alleles. – A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 9.3 Mendel’s law of segregation describes the inheritance of a single character Figure 9.3B_s1 The Explanation P generation 4. A sperm or egg carries only one allele for each inherited character because allele pairs separate (segregate) from each other during the production of gametes. This statement is called the law of segregation. Genetic makeup (alleles) White flowers Purple flowers PP pp Gametes All P All p Mendel’s hypotheses also explain the 3:1 ratio in the F2 generation. – The F1 hybrids all have a Pp genotype. – A Punnett square shows the four possible combinations of alleles that could occur when these gametes combine. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

A testcross can show whether the unknown genotype includes a recessive allele. Mendel used testcrosses to verify that he had truebreeding genotypes. The following figure demonstrates how a testcross can be performed to determine the genotype of a Lab with normal eyes. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Formation of eggs 1 2 Determining the probability of two independent events uses the rule of multiplication, in which the probability is the product of the probabilities for each event. The probability that an event can occur in two or more alternative ways is the sum of the separate probabilities, called the rule of addition.

In bees, sex is determined by chromosome number. – Females are diploid. – Males are haploid. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 21 Figure 9.20E Figure 9.20E_1 Male Female 16 32 9.20 Chromosomes determine sex in many species 9.21 Sex-linked genes exhibit a unique pattern of inheritance In some animals, environmental temperature determines the sex. Sex-linked genes are located on either of the sex chromosomes. – For some species of reptiles, the temperature at which the eggs are incubated during a specific period of development determines whether the embryo will develop into a male or female. – Global climate change may therefore impact the sex ratio of such species. The X chromosome carries many genes unrelated to sex. The inheritance of white eye color in the fruit fly illustrates an X-linked recessive trait. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

A male receiving a single X-linked recessive allele from his mother will have the disorder. A female must receive the allele from both parents to be affected. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. – hemophilia, characterized by excessive bleeding because hemophiliacs lack one or more of the proteins required for blood clotting, – red-green color blindness, a malfunction of lightsensitive cells in the eyes, and – Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a condition characterized by a progressive weakening of the muscles and loss of coordination. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 23 Figure 9.22 Figure 9.22_1 Queen Victoria Albert Alice Louis Alexandra Czar Nicholas II of Russia Alexis Female Male Hemophilia Carrier Normal 9.23 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: The Y chromosome provides clues about human male evolution Figure 9.23 The Y chromosome provides clues about human male evolution because – Y chromosomes are passed intact from father to son and – mutations in Y chromosomes can reveal data about recent shared ancestry. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
