Inheritance of Traits: An Introduction to Genetics & Human Genetics Chapters 6.3 - 6.5 1 Review Which type of cells are responsible for passing traits on from parent to offspring? - Sex cells: sperm & egg Which type of cell division makes these sex cells? – Meiosis What does this cell division do to chromosome #? – Reduce chromosome # by half What type of cells are made during mitosis? - Body cells 2 What does this cell division do to chromosome #? - Maintains the same/identical chromosome # What part inside a nucleus carries ones traits? – Chromosomes What makes up a chromosome? – DNA and histones What is the study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring? - Genetics What is the name of a scientist who studies Genetics? - Geneticist 3 You have body cells and Gametes • The cells in your body are divided into two groups. – 1. Somatic cells – are your body cells that make up your body. – 2. Sex cells or gametes – the cells that make up sperm and ova (egg). • Gametes are responsible for passing on your DNA to your offspring/children. 4 I. Chromosomes A. Autosomes – also known as body cells Two characteristics of autosomes: • Chromosomes are paired. Always two of each type of chromosome. One from mom and one from dad. • There are 22 pairs of autosomes. B. Sex Chromosomes – Come from Gametes Three characteristics of sex cells • Half as many chromosomes • Only one of each kind of chromosome • Sperm or eggs Karyotype A picture which shows a person’s chromosomes 6 There are thousands of genes on a Chromosome • Genes are small sections of chromosomes that determine a persons traits (characteristics). Eye color • Genes are arranged one after another like beads on a necklace Eye color Nose size Widow’s peak Shape of ears 7 Genes come in pairs just like chromosomes. One gene comes from mom, the other from dad. Eye color Nose size Widow’s peak Shape of ears Eye color Nose size Widow’s peak Shape of ears Every trait or characteristic has a gene pair to represent it. Traits are inherited characteristics. Allele is an alternate form of a gene. EXAMPLE: Gene – eye color Alleles – blue, green, brown 8 Passing traits to offspring Mom makes ova (egg) with her genes from her chromosomes. AND F F Dad makes sperm with his genes from his chromosomes. • f f The egg and the sperm unite through fertilization • The zygote now gets one gene from the mother and one from the father. F f Ff 9 Gregor Mendel • Was an Austrian monk who became known as the Father of Genetics. • Around 1868 he studied and worked with pea plants. • Pea plants have 7 traits each with 2 contrasting alleles – seed shape – seed color – plant height – pod color – pod shape – seed coat color – flower position 10 Mendel’s 1st experiment 1. Used purebred (homozygous) plants - This was known as the P generation (parents) 2. Control over breeding - Mendel used pollen to fertilize selected pea plants. Mendel controlled the fertilization of his pea plants by removing the male parts, or stamens. He then fertilized the female part, or pistil, with pollen from a different pea plant. 11 Offspring were all purple. 12 Genes/Alleles – Each parent donates one allele for every gene trait. – Homozygous describes two alleles that are the same – Heterozygous describes two alleles that are different 13 Mendel’s 1st Conclusion • Law of Dominance – Genotype = gene combination (represented by alphabet letters) – Phenotype = Physical appearance (represented by words) – A dominant allele is expressed as a phenotype when at least one allele is dominant. • Dominant = Capital letter (ex: T = tall) • Dominant allele hides Recessive allele – A recessive allele is expressed as a phenotype only when two copies are present. • recessive = Lowercase letter (ex: t =small) 14 Genotype- Phenotypegenes appearance Homozygous Same 2 alleles Heterozygous Mixed Alleles TT Tall tt Short Tt Tall 15 Dominant and Recessive Genes (Homozygous = Having two of the same alleles) (Heterozygous = Having two different alleles) Homozygous Dominant: Have two of the same (dominant) genes Homozygous Recessive: Have two of the same (recessive) genes Heterozygous: Have one dominant and one recessive gene (2 different) 16 Mendel’s 2nd Conclusion • Law of segregation – Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. – Thus, the 2 copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. – Organisms inherit 2 copies of each gene, one from each parent. 17 Traits and Probability The Punnett square is a grid system for predicting all possible genotypes & phenotypes resulting from a cross. – The axes represent the possible gametes of each parent. – The boxes show the possible genotypes of the offspring. – Shows ONLY the probability for each child (like rolling a die), it is chance! 18 Steps for using the Punnett square in a Monohybrid Cross Monohybrid Cross = a cross between only 1 trait or characteristic 1. Draw 4 boxes. Each square stands for one possible combination of genes for offspring. Possible offspring Possible offspring Possible offspring Possible offspring 19 2.

Draw sperm and write the letters for the genes that will be in the Father’s sex cells on the side. T t t t 21 4. Copy the letters that appear at the top of the square into each box below it.

(like rolling a die) • The more data that’s observed, the closer it gets to the EXPECTED.
