Terms Used in Modern Genetics

Heredity- characteristics passing from

Genes
parents to offspring through genes
Each gene has a specific locus on a
chromosome
 Heterozygous (Aa or Bb)
 Homomzygous (AA or BB)

Gregor Mendel
Genetics

An allele is dominant if its effect masks
the effect of a recessive allele paired
with it
Mendel’s Law of
Segregation
 Only
one of the 2
alleles gets put
into each gamete

Dihybrid Cross

2 loci
AABB x aabb
 F2 phenotype ratio is 9:3:3:1

Mendel’s Law
of Independent Assortment


One trait does not influence the
inheritance of the other

D Out of 16 possible genetic outcomes of this dihybrid cross, 9 will result in plants that
are purple-flowered and tall; 3, purple-flowered and short; 3, white-flowered and tall;
and 1, white-flowered and short. The ratio of phenotypes of this dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1.

Codominance


Two nonidentical alleles of a gene are both
fully expressed in heterozygotes, so
neither is dominant or recessive
Multiple allele systems
Incomplete Dominance

One allele is not fully dominant over its
partner
Epistasis

Epistasis
Two or more gene products influence a
trait
 Typically, one gene product suppresses the
effect of another

Epistasis in Coat Colors
Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy

One gene product
influences two or
more traits
Example: Marfan
syndrome
 Or sry

Sex-linked traits
Genes and the Environment

Expression of some genes is affected
by environmental factors such as
temperature, altitude, or chemical
exposure
