Gregor Mendel’s Discoveries • Pre-Mendel Blending Theory of Heredity – Hereditary material from each parent mixes in the offspring • • • 2 problems Individuals of a population should reach a uniform appearance after many generations Once traits are blended, they can’t be separated • Gregor Mendel Particulate Theory of Heredity – Traits are inherited as separate factors • Mendel used quantitative approach • Studied peas for 3 reasons: – Many varieties – Self pollinating/cross pollinating – Each variety had 2 alternative forms • Used true breeding varieties • Used large sample sizes and accurate observations • Used math to develop probabilities and perform statistical analyses • Used terms to define generations as: P, F , F 1 2 • Developed terms such as: – – – – – Alleles (factor) Dominant/Recessive Homozygous/ Heterozygous Phenotype/Genotype Testcross • Derived 2 principles: – Law of segregation – two alleles for a character separate when gametes are formed Law of Independent assortment – each pair of alleles segregate into gametes independently Degrees of Dominance • Complete dominance occurs when phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 14-9 Rr Segregation of alleles into eggs Rr Segregation of alleles into sperm Sperm 1/ R 2 R 1/ 2 r R R Eggs 4 r 2 r 2 R 1/ 1/ 1/ 1/ 4 r r R r 1/ 4 1/ 4 Fig. 14-16 Parents Normal Aa Normal Aa Sperm A a A AA Normal Aa Normal (carrier) a Aa Normal (carrier) aa Albino Eggs Fig. 14-17 Parents Dwarf Dd Normal dd Sperm D d d Dd Dwarf dd d Dd Dwarf Eggs Normal dd Normal • Dominant condition • Fatal • Only one Huntington’s allele needed • Produces abnormal protein that clumps up in cell nuclei – especially nerve cells in the brain Concept Quiz If an allele for tall plants (T) is dominant to short plants (t), what offspring would you expect from a TT x Tt cross? A. ½ tall; ½ short B. ¾ tall; ¼ short C. All tall Identify vocab term: • This allele gets masked in the phenotype • Genetic Makup • Alternate forms of a gene • The allele that gets fully expressed • Two identical alleles for a trait • Physical appearance If two heterozygotes are crossed for dimpled chin. What will be the expected genotypic ratio? Phenotypic ratio? • 1:2:1 • 3:1 Extending Mendelian Genetics for a Single Gene • Inheritance of characters by a single gene may deviate from simple Mendelian patterns in the following situations: – When alleles are on the sex chromosomes – When alleles are not completely dominant or recessive – When a gene has more than two alleles – When a gene produces multiple phenotypes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings • In codominance, phenotypes of both alleles are exhibited in the heterozygote • Affects 1 in 2500 individuals in European populations Fig. 14-10-1 P Generation Red CRCR Gametes White CWCW CR CW Fig. 14-10-2 P Generation Red CRCR Gametes White CWCW CR CW Pink CRCW F1 Generation In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties Gametes 1/2 CR 1/ 2 CW Fig. 14-10-3 P Generation Red CRCR White CWCW CR Gametes CW Pink CRCW F1 Generation Gametes 1/2 CR 1/ CW 2 Sperm 1/ 2 CR 1/ 2 CW F2 Generation 1/ 2 CR Eggs 1/ 2 CRCR CRCW CRCW CWCW CW Incomplete Dominance Concept Quiz A red carnation and a white carnation produce offspring that are all pink. The type of inheritance pattern occurring is: A. Complete dominance B. Incomplete dominance C. Codominance Red is dominant to white in flower petal color. If a homozygous dominant is crossed with a homozygous recessive and this inheritance is incomplete dominance. What will be the phenotypic ratio of this cross? • 1:2:1 Concept Quiz Fur color in rabbits shows incomplete dominance. FBFB individuals are brown, FBFW individuals are cream, FWFW individuals are white. What is the expected ratio of a FBFW x FWFW cross? A. 3 white : 1 brown B. 3 white : 1 cream C. 2 white : 2 cream Multiple Alleles • Most genes exist in populations in more than two allelic forms • For example, the four phenotypes of the ABO blood group in humans are determined by three alleles for the enzyme (I) that attaches A or B carbohydrates to red blood cells: IA, IB, and i. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 14-11 Allele IA IB Carbohydrate A B i none (a) The three alleles for the ABO blood groups and their associated carbohydrates Genotype Red blood cell appearance Phenotype (blood group) IAIA or IA i A IBIB or IB i B IAIB AB ii O (b) Blood group genotypes and phenotypes Who is the universal recipient? Who is the universal donor? What blood types would the offspring have if one parent Is type O and one parent is AB? Both parents AB?
