How Genetics Began
 Inheritance, or heredity passing traits to
the next generation
 Mendel performed cross-pollination in pea
plants.
 Mendel followed various traits in the pea
plants he bred.

 The parent generation is also known as
the P generation.

10.2 Mendelian Genetics
 The offspring of
this P cross are
called the first filial
(F1) generation.
 The second filial
(F2) generation is
the offspring from
the F1 cross.

Dominance
 Homozygous 2 of the same alleles for a
particular trait, also called pure bred.
 Heterozygous 2 different alleles for a
particular trait, also called hybrids.

Genotype and Phenotype
 Genotype allele pairs (GENES)
 TT, Tt, BB, bb, Mm
 Phenotype The observable characteristic
or outward expression of an allele pair
(WHAT YOU SEE)

organism is
no big effect on the
determined completely
organism's phenotype
by one of the alleles
• Written with lowercase
• Written with at least 1
letters (bb)
capital letter (TT or Tt)
Example: Brown eyes is dominant and blue eyes is recessive
Mendel’s Conclusions cont’d…
Ex. Tall plant (T) x short plant (t) = tall offspring (Tt)

Mendel’s Law of Segregation
 Two alleles for each trait separate during
meiosis.
 During fertilization, two alleles for that trait unite.

Monohybrid Cross
 A cross that
involves hybrids for
a single trait is
called a
monohybrid cross.

Dihybrid Cross
 The simultaneous inheritance of two or
more traits in the same plant is a dihybrid
cross.
 Dihybrids are heterozygous for both traits.

Law of Independent Assortment
 Random distribution of alleles occurs during gamete
formation
 Genes on separate chromosomes sort independently
during meiosis.
 Each allele combination is equally likely to occur.
Law of Segregation
 The two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis
(ex: If a parent is Tt, then either T or t can be given to
the offspring)

Dihybrid Cross
 Four types of alleles
from the male gametes
and four types of alleles
from the female
gametes can be
produced.
 The resulting phenotypic
ratio is 9:3:3:1.

Genetic Recombination
 The new combination of genes produced
by crossing over and independent
assortment

10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
Gene Linkage
 The linkage of genes on a chromosome results
in an exception to Mendel’s law of independent
assortment because linked genes usually do
not segregate independently.

Multiple Alleles
 Blood groups in
humans
 ABO blood
groups have
three forms of
alleles.
Human Blood Typing
• Human blood is classified according to the
presence or absence of certain markers
called antigens that are located on the
surface of red blood cells.
• If you have the A antigen, you have type A
blood and antibodies against B blood.
• If you have the B antigen, you have type B
blood and antibodies against A blood.
What about O & AB?
• If you don’t have either the A or B antigen, you
have type O blood.
• In the US, O is the most common blood type.
• You have antibodies against A and B.
• You are also a universal donor. (You can give
blood to anyone)
• If you have both the A and B antigens, you
have type AB blood and this is the rarest form
of blood. No antibodies against either A or B.
Describe sex-linked alleles
• Sex-linked alleles:
controlled by genes located
on sex chromosomes
• Usually carried on X
chromosome
• Since females are XX, they
are usually carriers of the
trait
• Since males are XY, they
have a higher tendency for
inheritance of trait

10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
 Polyploidy is the occurrence of one or more extra
sets of all
chromosomes
in an organism.
 A triploid organism,
for instance, would
be designated 3n,
which means that
it has three complete sets of chromosomes.

Karyotype Studies
 Karyotype—micrograph in which the pairs
of homologous chromosomes are arranged
in decreasing size.
 Images of chromosomes stained during
metaphase
 Chromosomes are arranged in decreasing
size to produce a micrograph.

10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
 Epistasis- is a gene at one location on a
chromosome can affect the expression of a
gene at a second location
A good example of epistasis is the
genetic interactions that produce
coat color in horses and other
mammals. In horses, brown coat
color (B) is dominant over tan (b).
Gene expression is dependent on
a second gene that controls the
deposition of pigment in hair.

digestive
enzymes, and

Caused by altered genes, resulting
in the absence of the skin pigment

• Sex-linked alleles:

on sex chromosomes
• Usually carried on X

are usually carriers of the

Pedigrees
 A diagram that traces the inheritance of a
particular trait through several generations
Interpret pedigrees
• Pedigrees: graphic
representation of family
tree
• Symbols identify sex, if
they are carriers, if they
have a certain trait, etc.
• Follows one trait
• May be used if testcross
cannot be made
