Patterns of Inheritance Chapter 10 Genetics developed from curiosity about inheritance • Gregor Mendel – Late 1800s – Pea plants Genetics developed from curiosity about inheritance • Trait= a variation of a particular character • Genetics= study of heredity • Self-fertilization= fertilization of an ovum of a plant by a male gamete from the same flower – True breeding • Cross-fertilization= sperm from the pollen of one flower fertilizes the eggs in the flower of a different plant Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • Hybrids= the offspring of two different truebreeding varieties – P generation= P for parent – F1 generation= F for filial (Latin for son) – F2 generation= offspring of the F1 generation…“grandchildren” • Monohybrid cross= a pairing in which the parent plants differ in only one (mono) character – Mendel crossed purple-flowered pea plants with white-flowered pea plants Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • Mendel not only used flower color, he also used flower position, seed color, seed shape, pod shape, pod color, and stem length • He used monohybrid crosses to study the heredity of these traits Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • Mendel’s 4 hypotheses: 1. There are other forms of genes. – Such as the gene for flower color – One form for purple flowers – Another for white flowers – Alternative forms of genes are called alleles 2. For each inherited trait, an organism has two alleles for the gene controlling that trait…one from mom and one from dad. – Heterozygous= two alleles for a trait are different – Homozygous= two alleles for a trait are the same Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance 3. When only one of the two different alleles appears to affect the trait, that allele is called the dominant allele. The other allele that does not appear is called the recessive allele. – Flower color- Purple – – P = dominant p= recessive 4. The two alleles for a trait separate during the formation of gametes (remember…meiosis!). Each gamete has only one allele for each trait. The union of sex cells, during fertilization, reunites the alleles to form pairs again. Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • You can calculate the probabilities for different combinations of alleles resulting from a genetic cross • Punnett square= a diagram that shows all possible outcomes of a genetic cross Mrs. B’s QUICK QUIZ 1. The father of genetics is Friar Tuck Gregor Mendel Anton van Leeuwenhoek Bill Nye Gregor Mendel 2. _____________ is the fertilization of an ovum of a plant by a male gamete from the same flower. True breeding Cross fertilization Self fertilization Genetics Self fertilization 3. A hybrids is the offspring of one true breeding plant. True False False Hybrids= the offspring of two different truebreeding varieties Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • The genetic makeup , or combination of alleles is called the genotype – The genotypic ratio is 1PP:2Pp:1pp • The observable trait is called the phenotype (purple flowers) – The 3:1 ratio is called a phenotypic ratio Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • Testcross= breeds an individual of unknown genotype, but dominant phenotype with a homozygous recessive individual • The appearance of the phenotype of the offspring will reveal the mystery plant Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • Dihybrid cross= crossing individuals that differ in two characters • Mendel used this when studying peas with – – – – – – different colors (yellow =dominant) different shapes (round= dominant) RRYY RrYy Rryy A punnett square can be used in the same way Mendel discovered that inheritance follows rules of chance • Mendel used dihydrid crosses to study all seven characteristics of pea plants • Proposed his principle of independent assortment, which states that during gamete formation in an F2 cross, a particular allele for one character can pair up with a particular allele of another character – R can end up with Y or y – r can end up with Y or y – The alleles are sorted into gametes independently of one another There are many variations of inheritance patterns • For some characters of organisms, neither allele is dominant • The heterozygotes have a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes to the two parents • This is called incomplete dominance – Ex: Andalusian chickens – A heterozygote chicken=CBCW – This is NOT blending, because the parent phenotypes can reappear in the F2 generation There are many variations of inheritance patterns • Many genes have multiple alleles, instead of just two – Ex: human blood type – A, B, AB, O – IA and IB display codominance, meaning that a heterozygote expresses both traits – This is NOT intermediate, due to the fact that the phenotype shows the separate traits of both alleles There are many variations of inheritance patterns • When multiple genes affect a character, the variation in phenotypes can increase • When two or more genes affect a single character, it is called polygenic inheritance – – – – – – ex: height in humans 3 tall alleles: A, B, C 3 short alleles: X, Y, Z Intermediate inheritance AABBCC= very tall AZBBCC= slightly shorter, etc. • Some characters are affected by dozens of genes, which lead to numerous combinations of alleles There are many variations of inheritance patterns • An individual’s phenotype depends on environment as well as on genes – Ex: tree – Temperature • The product of a genotype is generally a range of possibilities influenced by the environment Meiosis explains Mendel’s principles • Chromosome theory of inheritance: genes are located on chromosomes, and the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for inheritance Meiosis explains Mendel’s principles • Gene locus • When genes are located on separate chromosomes, they sort independently of each other during meiosis • Crossing over allows genes on the same chromosome to sort independently • The tendency for alleles on one chromosome to be inherited together is called genetic linkage…the closer the 2 genes are on a chromosome, the greater the genetic linkage…the farther apart they are, the more likely a cross over will occur Sex-linked traits have unique inheritance patterns • Eggs contain what kind of chromosome? X • Sperm contain what kind of chromosome? Half have X and half have Y • An offspring’s sex is determined by whether or not the sperm cell carries an X or a Y • Any gene that is located on a sex chromosome is called a sex-linked gene • In humans, most are on the X chromosome Sex-linked traits have unique inheritance patterns • Thomas Morgan – Fruit flies • Sex-linked disorders – Red-green colorblindness • X-linked recessive • Recessive sex-linked traits are much more common in men than in women Pedigrees • Family tree that records and traces the occurrence of a trait in a family • Circles = females • Squares = males • Horizontal lines connecting a square to a circle means the couple had children Pedigrees • If shape has two colors the person in a carrier
