Genetics
• Genetics is the study of heredity
• It deals with the similarities and
differences between parents and their
offspring
• In Genetics we look at how
characteristics are passed from one
generation to the next.
• Genes carry the hereditary information on
chromosomes.

• Let us look at the human characteristic of
having a free or attached earlobe
• Click on the attached lobe
YES This ear is attached
This lobe is FREE

•Genes occur in pairs
•If we represent the gene for
attached ear lobe as little “e”
•Then this persons gene pair will
be “ee”

Genetic Terms

PHENOTYPE
The characteristic
expressed by the gene
e.g. attached ear lobe
ALLELE
genes are partners
of each other:“e”
is an allele of “e”
GENOTYPE
The genes that code
for a characteristic e.g.
ee

The genes occur at special positions on
chromosomes called loci.
One version of the gene is inherited from the
father , the other from the mother
If the two genes are the same e.g. ee or EE
they are homozygous.

e
There can be a mixture of attached and free
ear lobe genes (Ee)- heterozygous.
One gene, in this case (E) is dominant over
unattached lobe (e) which is called recessive
In this case the E gene completely supresses
the expression of e gene so this persons will
have free ear lobes

BL**DY IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
1. The two genes on homologous chromosomes
that code for the same characteristic are found
on identical locations on the pair of
chromosomes, called loci (singular: locus) pg 5
2. Alleles are alternate forms of a gene located on
the same locus of homologous chromosomes.
3. It seems that sometimes, one gene dominates
the other of the pair. We say that the one gene
is dominant, while the one that is dominated, is
called the recessive gene (pg5).
4. A genotype Bb is called HETEROZYGOUS (or
hybrid). Here the paired genes (ALLELS) for a
particular trait (characteristic) are different (pg
6).
5. A genotype BB or bb is HOMOZYGOUS. Here
the paired genes (ALLELES) for a particular
trait (characteristic) ore identical (7)`
BL**DY IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
1. The characteristics that we can see in
an individual, for example, brown
eyes, is known as the PHENOTYPE (pg
6).
2. The letters Bb indicate to us the
GENOTYPE for eye colour, that is, its
genetic makeup (pg 6).

Mendel’s law:
INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
• Independent assortment occurs
during meiosis I, specifically
metaphase I of meiosis, to produce
a gamete with a mixture of the
organism's maternal and paternal
chromosomes. Along with
chromosomal crossover, this
process aids in increasing genetic
diversity by producing novel genetic
combinations.

Remember this is without
crossing over and just in
a sperm or egg cell!!
Mendel’s law:
INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
• In independent assortment the homologous
•
chromosomes separate randomly during
Anaphase I of Meiosis I. Chromosomes that
end up in a newly-formed gamete are randomly
sorted from all possible combinations of
maternal and paternal chromosomes.
Because gametes end up with a random mix
instead of a pre-defined "set" from either
parent, gametes are therefore considered
assorted independently. As such, the gamete
can end up with any combination of paternal or
maternal chromosomes.
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
• In Gauteng, we often see cosmos
flowers on the side of roads at the
end of summer. We see red, white
and purple flowers. Why?

Incomplete Dominance
Incomplete Dominance occurs when the
offspring show a combination of recessive and
dominant characteristics
Pure Red flowers crossed with White flowers
produce all pink flowers in the F1 generation.

SEX-LINKED INHERITANCE
Some Characteristics, like the gene for colour vision are found attached to the X
chromosome. This means that the gene for that characteristic is linked to the sex o
the individual.
X
X

Do you notice that the male’s
X chromosome does not have
corresponding loci on the Y
chromosome because it is
shorter. Thus even a recessive
gene on the X chr. will be
expressed.
In humans, the gene for colour vision is sex-linked. The gene is linked to the X
chromosome. The gene for normal colour vision (B) is dominant over the gene for
colour blindness (b).

DOWN’S SYNDROME
DOWN’S SYNDROME
• Individuals with Down syndrome tend to
have a lower-than-average cognitive
ability, often ranging from mild to
moderate disabilities.
• A small number have severe to profound
mental disability. The average IQ of
children with Down syndrome is around
50, compared to normal children with an
IQ of 100.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
abnormally small chin
poor muscle tone
a flat nasal bridge
protruding tongue (due to small oral cavity,
short neck,
Mental retardation in the mild (IQ 50–70) to
moderate (IQ 35–50) range.
They also may have a broad head and a very
round face.
Language skills show a difference between
understanding speech and expressing speech,
and commonly individuals with Down syndrome
Nature vs. nurture
• Phenotype is controlled by
both environment & genes
Human skin color is
influenced by both genetics
& environmental conditions
Coat color in arctic
fox influenced by
heat sensitive
alleles
Color of Hydrangea
flowers is influenced by
soil pH
Non Inherited variations
ENVIRONMENTAL
VARIATIONS
• Birth Defects also called congenital
•
disorders due to factors affecting foetal
development, such as radiation, heat, chemicals
(booze, smoking), infectious agents or maternal
disease (e.g., measles)
Teratogen: “monster” “born”
Inherited Variations
• Mutations
A mutation occurswhen the
order of nucleotides in the
D.N.A. is changed.
X-rays, excessive exposure to
the sun’s heat, exposure to
harmful chemicals, radiation
form nuclear bomb
explosions are some of the
causes of mutated genes.
The offspring will inherit the
mutated gene
Hybridisation
Genetically modified (GM)
foods
GM foods
• Genetically modified organisms have had
specific changes introduced into their DNA
by genetic engineering,
• unlike similar food organisms which have
been modified from their wild ancestors
through selective breeding (plant breeding
and animal breeding) or mutation
breeding.
• GM foods were first put on the market in
the early 1990s.
GM FOODS – the positives
• GM foods have been modifies to:
increase the crop yield;
• make crops resistant to herbicides
(so that weeds can be eliminated);
resistance to insects which may eat
the crop;
• production of specific nutrients (like
vitamins);
• produce drought-resistance crops;
• improve the taste of certain foods;
GM FOODS – the negatives
• Critics have objected to GM foods on several
•
grounds, including perceived safety issues
(may cause diseases), ecological concerns
(genes from GM foods may mix with nonGM foods and cause unfvourable changes
in crops) and
economic concerns raised by the fact that
these organisms are subject to intellectual
property law (premium on price for these
seeds).
Human Genome
• The human genome is the
genome of Homo sapiens, which
is stored on 23 chromosome
pairs. Twenty-two of these are
autosomal chromosome pairs,
while the remaining pair is sexdetermining. The haploid human
genome occupies a total of just
over 3 billion DNA base pairs.
The Human Genome Project
(HGP) produced a reference
sequence of the euchromatic
human genome, which is used
worldwide in biomedical
sciences.
Human Genome
• The haploid human genome contains ca.
23,000 protein-coding genes, far
fewer than had been expected before its
sequencing. In fact, only about 1.5% of
the genome codes for proteins, while
the rest consists of non-coding RNA
genes, regulatory sequences, introns, and
(controversially named) "junk" DNA.
STEM CELLS
• Stem cells are cells found in all multi
cellular organisms. They are characterized
by the ability to renew themselves
through mitotic cell division and
differentiate into a diverse range of
specialized cell types.
• The two broad types of mammalian stem
•
•
•
cells are:
embryonic stem cells that are isolated from
the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and
adult stem cells that are found in adult
tissues.
In a developing embryo, stem cells can
differentiate into all of the specialized
embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem
cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system
for the body, replenishing specialized cells, but
also maintain the normal turnover of
regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or
intestinal tissues.
