Ch. 9 Patterns of Inheritance
The science of genetics has ancient roots
 The blending hypothesis, was
suggested in the 19th century by
scientists studying plants but later
rejected because it did not explain
how traits that disappear in one
generation can reappear in later
generations.

Experimental genetics began in an abbey
garden
 Heredity = the transmission of
traits from one generation to the
next.
 Genetics = the scientific study
of heredity.
 Gregor Mendel began the field of
genetics in the 1860s,deduced the
principles of genetics by breeding
garden peas, and relied upon a
background of mathematics, physics,
and chemistry.

Experimental genetics began in an abbey
garden
 In 1866, Mendel correctly argued that parents pass
on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors” and
stressed that the heritable factors (today called
genes), retain their individuality generation after
generation.
 A heritable feature that varies among individuals, is
called a character (flower color)
 Each variant for a character, is a trait (purple or
white flowers)

Experimental genetics began in an abbey
garden
 True-breeding varieties result when self-fertilization
produces offspring all identical to the parent.
 The offspring of two different varieties are hybrids.
 The cross-fertilization is a genetic cross
(hybridization)
 True-breeding parental plants are the P generation.
 Hybrid offspring are the F1 generation.
 A cross of F1 plants produces an F2 generation.

Mendel’s law of segregation describes the
inheritance of a single character
 A monohybrid cross is a cross between two
individuals differing in a single character
 Mendel performed a monohybrid cross between a
plant with purple flowers and a plant with white
flowers.
– The F1 generation produced plants with purple flowers.
– A cross of F1 plants with each other produced an F2
generation with ¾ purple and ¼ white flowers.

Mendel’s law of segregation describes the
inheritance of a single character
 The all-purple F1 generation did not produce light
purple flowers, as predicted by the blending
hypothesis.
 Mendel needed to explain why white color seemed to
disappear in the F1 generation and white color reappeared
in one quarter of the F2 offspring.

Mendel’s law of segregation describes the
inheritance of a single character
 Mendel developed four hypotheses (using modern
terminology)
1. Alleles are alternative versions of genes that account
for variations in inherited characters.
2. For each characteristic, an organism inherits two
alleles (on homologs), one from each parent. The
alleles can be the same or different.
– A homozygous genotype has identical alleles.
– A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles.

Mendel’s law of segregation describes the
inheritance of a single character
3. If the alleles of an inherited pair differ, then one determines
the organism’s appearance and is called the dominant allele.
The other has no noticeable effect on the organism’s
appearance and is called the recessive allele.
– The phenotype is the appearance or expression of a trait.
– The genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait.
*The same phenotype may be determined by more than one genotype.

Mendel’s law of segregation describes the
inheritance of a single character
4. A sperm or egg carries only one allele for each inherited
character because allele pairs separate (segregate) from
each other during the production of gametes. This
statement is called the law of segregation.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The law of independent assortment is revealed
by tracking two characters at once
 A dihybrid cross is a mating of parental varieties
that differ in two characters.
 Mendel performed the following dihybrid cross with
the following results:
– P generation: round yellow seeds  wrinkled green seeds
– F1 generation: all plants with round yellow seeds
– F2 generation:
– 9/16 had round yellow seeds
– 3/16 had wrinkled yellow seeds
– 3/16 had round green seeds
– 1/16 had wrinkled green seeds
The law of independent assortment is revealed
by tracking two characters at once
 Mendel needed to explain why the F2 offspring had
new nonparental combinations of traits and a 9:3:3:1
phenotypic ratio.
 Mendel suggested that the inheritance of one
character has no effect on the inheritance of another,
and that the dihybrid cross is the equivalent to two
monohybrid crosses, and called this the law of
independent assortment.

Geneticists can use the testcross to determine
unknown genotypes
 A testcross is the mating between an individual of
unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive
individual.
 A testcross can show whether the unknown
genotype includes a recessive allele.
 Mendel used testcrosses to verify that he had truebreeding genotypes.

Mendel’s laws reflect the rules of probability
 Using his strong background in mathematics,
Mendel knew that the rules of mathematical
probability affected the segregation of allele pairs
during gamete formation and the re-forming of
pairs at fertilization.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mendel’s laws reflect the rules of probability
 The probability of a specific event is the number of
ways that event can occur out of the total possible
outcomes.
 Determining the probability of two independent
events uses the rule of multiplication, in which
the probability is the product of the probabilities for
each event.
 The probability that an event can occur in two or
more alternative ways is the sum of the separate
probabilities, called the rule of addition.

Genetic traits in humans can be tracked through
family pedigrees
 The inheritance of human traits follows Mendel’s
laws.
 A pedigree shows the inheritance of a trait in a family
through multiple generations, demonstrates dominant or
recessive inheritance, and can also be used to deduce
genotypes of family members.

CONNECTION: Many inherited disorders in
humans are controlled by a single gene
 Inherited human disorders show either recessive
inheritance or dominant inheritance
 Recessive inheritance: two recessive alleles are
needed to show disease, (heterozygous parents are
carriers of the disease-causing allele)
 Dominant inheritance: one dominant allele is
needed to show disease and dominant lethal alleles
are usually eliminated from the population.

Many inherited disorders in humans are controlled
by a single gene
 The most common fatal genetic
disease in the United States is
cystic fibrosis (CF), and an
example of recessive inheritance
(carried by about 1 in 31 Americans)
 Dominant human disorders
include achondroplasia, (results in
dwarfism), and Huntington’s disease
(degenerative disorder of the nervous
system)

VARIATIONS ON
MENDEL’S LAWS
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Incomplete dominance results in intermediate
phenotypes
 Mendel’s pea crosses always looked like one of the
parental varieties, called complete dominance.
 In incomplete dominance, the appearance of F1
hybrids falls between the phenotypes of the two
parental varieties.
 Incomplete dominance: neither allele is dominant
over the other and expression of both alleles occurs.

Many genes have more than two alleles in the
population
 In codominance, neither allele is dominant over
the other and expression of both alleles is
observed as a distinct phenotype in the
heterozygous individual.
– AB blood type is an example of codominance.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Many genes have more than two alleles in the
population
 Although an individual can at most carry two
different alleles for a particular gene, more than two
alleles often exist in the wider population.
 Human ABO blood group phenotypes involve three
alleles for a single gene.
 The four human blood groups, A, B, AB, and O,
result from combinations of these three alleles.
 The A and B alleles are both expressed in
heterozygous individuals, a condition known as
codominance.

A single gene may affect many phenotypic
characters
 Pleiotropy occurs when one gene influences many
characteristics.
 Sickle-cell disease is a human example of pleiotropy.
Because it
– affects the type of hemoglobin produced and the shape of
red blood cells and
– causes anemia and organ damage, etc

A single character may be influenced by many
genes
 Polygenic inheritance -a single phenotypic
character results from the additive effects of two or
more genes.
 Human skin color is an example of polygenic
inheritance.

THE CHROMOSOMAL BASIS
OF INHERITANCE
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chromosome behavior accounts for Mendel’s
laws
 The chromosome theory of inheritance states that
genes occupy specific loci (positions) on
chromosomes and chromosomes undergo
segregation and independent assortment during
meiosis.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chromosome behavior accounts for Mendel’s
laws
 Mendel’s laws correlate with chromosome
separation in meiosis.
– The law of segregation depends on separation of
homologous chromosomes in anaphase I.
– The law of independent assortment depends on
alternative orientations of chromosomes in metaphase I.

SEX CHROMOSOMES AND
SEX-LINKED GENES
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chromosomes determine sex in many species
 Many animals have a pair
of sex chromosomes,
X
designated X and Y, that
determine an individual’s sex.
 In mammals, males have
XY sex chromosomes,
females have XX sex
chromosomes
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Y
Chromosomes determine sex in many species
 In some animals, environmental temperature
determines the sex.
– For some species of reptiles, the temperature at which
the eggs are incubated during a specific period of
development determines whether the embryo will develop
into a male or female.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sex-linked genes exhibit a unique pattern of
inheritance
 Sex-linked genes are located on either of the sex
chromosomes.
 The X chromosome carries many genes unrelated
to sex.
 The inheritance of white eye color in the fruit fly
illustrates an X-linked recessive trait.
