chromosomes on which genes are located
3.14 understand that a gene is a section of a
molecule of DNA and that a gene codes for a
specific protein

to form a double helix, the strands being linked by
a series of paired bases: adenine (A) with thymine
(T), and cytosine (C) with guanine (G)
3.16 understand that genes exist in alternative
forms called alleles which give rise to differences
in inherited characteristics

using a genetic diagram

monohybrid crosses
The nucleus
The nucleus of the cell,
containing all of the genetic
material. This material is
inherited from the parents.
The nucleus
The nucleus contains
chromosomes – in normal
human cells, there are 23
pairs of chromosomes. Each
chromosome is made up of a
very special molecule called
DNA.

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic
acid, but at this stage just stick
with the initials DNA!
The nucleus
Here is an individual
chromosome ( the xchromosome). Inside,
the double helix of DNA
can be clearly seen.

Chromosomes, genes and DNA
Individual sections of a chromosome are called
genes. Each gene ( a short section of DNA)
codes for a particular protein, which may control
particular characteristics, such as eye colour.
Each chromosome may contain thousands of
genes.
DNA Structure
DNA consists of
two strands,
wrapped into a
double helix.

The two strands
are linked by

There are four

Since there are only about 20

Genetic mutations
Every time a cell divides, all
the DNA in the nucleus must
be copied exactly.
Genetic mutations
Every time a cell divides, all
the DNA in the nucleus must

Occasionally a mistake may
occur, and bases may be put
in the wrong order.
Genetic mutations
Every time a cell divides, all

Occasionally a mistake may
occur, and bases may be put

As a result, there will be a
different sequence of amino
acids, and therefore a
different protein will be
made.

MUTATION
Genetic mutations
Causes
Effects
Mutations occur naturally
but ……
• there is an increased risk
if
• individuals are exposed to
mutagenic agents
• such as ionising radiation
(UV, X-rays)
• radioactive substances and
certain chemicals.
• the greater the dose, the
greater the risk.
Most mutations are harmful
and in …
• Reproductive cells can
cause death or abnormality
• in body cells they may
cause cancer
• some mutations are neutral
and some may increase the
survival chances of an
organism
• and its offspring who
inherit the gene

Hazel
So there are alleles for blue
eyes, brown eyes, etc.
brown
Grey
Remember that
we inherit
specific genes
from both
parents.
So we will inherit one eye
colour gene from our
mother, and another eye
colour gene from our father
(remember that different
forms of the same gene are
called alleles)
It’s
definition
time!
DOMINANT
-when a pair of alleles (or genes) are
present, each coding for a particular
characteristic, the dominant allele is the
one that shows. For example, the brown
eye colour allele is dominant over the
blue allele, so an individual with both blue
and brown alleles will have brown eyes.
RECESSIVE
- the recessive allele will only have an
effect when the dominant allele is
missing. For example, if you inherit the
blue allele from your mother and the blur
allele from your father, then you would
have blue eyes (there is no other allele
present to ‘dominate’ the blue allele).
Dominant alleles are shown using capital
letters.
For example, the brown eye allele is ‘B’
Dominant alleles are shown using capital
letters.
For example, the brown eye allele is ‘B’
Recessive alleles are lower case.
For example, the blue eye allele is ‘b’

If both chromosomes in a pair contain
the same allele of a gene then the
individual is homozygous for that gene or
condition.
eg. BB or bb
Heterozygous.
If the chromosomes in a pair contain
different alleles of a gene then the
individual is said to be heterozygous for
that gene or condition.
eg. Bb (bB)

Phenotype
The phenotype describes the outward
appearance of an individual.
eg. BB or Bb individuals will both have
brown eyes.
Genotype
The genotype describes the actual genes
present in an individual
eg. BB, Bb or bb
Co-dominance
This refers to a situation when both
alleles are clearly visible and do not
overpower each other in the phenotype.
eg. the ‘A’ and ‘B’ alleles are co-dominant
in producing the ‘AB’ blood group
phenotype.

Monohybrid
what …???
When a characteristic is
determined by a single pair
of alleles, then a simple
genetic diagram can be
shown. This type of
inheritance is referred to as
monohybrid inheritance.
As an example, let’s look at a
genetic cross for two
parents – one is homozygous
for brown eyes (BB) and the
other is homozygous for
blue eyes (bb)

Understand how
to interpret
family pedigrees.
Pedigree charts are
normally used to show
disease down a family
tree. For example, the
inheritance of sickle cell
anaemia.
Doctors can use a
pedigree analysis chart
to show how genetic
disorders are inherited
in a family.
They can use this
analysis to work out the
probability (chance)
that someone in the
family will inherit the
condition.
