The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance Or Why Siblings Don’t Look Alike…Or Do They? Background • 1900—3 botanists ‘discovered’ Mendel’s work. • Each had replicated his experiments and then found his scientific writings. • 1875—Mitosis found and documented. • 1890’s—Meiosis found and documented. • (Both by cytologists—cell biologists) • 1900 Cytology and Genetics crashed into each other Etc… • Biologists began to recognize chromosomes and mendelian ‘factors’ were related. • 1902 Chromosome theory of inheritance was developed. • Early 20th century Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first to associate a specific gene to a specific chromosome. THM • THM used Drosophila melanogaster ‘fruit fly’ to study genetics. • Fruit fly has 4 pairs of chromosomes, and can be seen with a light microscope (chromosomes) • Fruit fly reproduces 100’s of offspring in about two weeks. Definitions • Wild type—Phenotype most common in wild populations. • Mutant phenotype—Traits that are alternative to wild type phenotypes. THM’s Work • Morgan found after extensive breeding a white eyed fruit fly that was male. • Wild type is red eyed. • Bred with a WT female F1 generation all red eyed. • F2 generation was a 3:1 ratio red eyed to white eyed. • White eyed flies were all male. • Thus eye color is on the X chromosome. • Genes on a sex chromosome are sexlinked genes. Linked Genes • Each chromosome has 100’s to 1000’s of genes • Linked Genes—genes that are on the same chromosome. • Genes on a chromosome tend to be inherited together because chromosomes are inherited as a unit. • See test cross on pg. 273 • How does independent assortment and crossing over affect genetic recombination's? • Genetic recombination—Production of offspring with new combinations of traits from two parents. • Parental types—Offspring which match one or the other parent. • Recombinants—Offspring have new combinations of phenotypes and thus genotypes. • 50% chance of recombination for genes on separate chromosomes. • For a dihybred cross of unlinked heterozygous genes with homozygous genes the expected ratio would be 1:1:1:1. • If the two genes were completely linked the expected ratio would be 1:1:0:0. • Neither of the previous ratio typically does not happen for linked genes. • You can calculate the recombination frequency with this formula. # of recombinants RF = Total offspring X 100 = ___% • You can use recombination frequency to determine/construct a genetic map.
