MENDELIAN GENETICS Gregory Mendel – 1822- 1884 •Australian monk •Afterwards became Father of modern genetics •Researched with pea plants •Developed ideas of dominance and trait segregation MENDELIAN GENETICS How Genetics Began The passing of traits to the next generation is called inheritance, or heredity. Mendel performed cross-pollination in pea plants. Mendel followed various traits in the pea plants he bred. MENDELIAN GENETICS Mendel studied seven different traits. Seed or pea color Flower color Seed pod color Seed shape or texture Seed pod shape Stem length Flower position MENDELIAN GENETICS Mendel crossed a pure yellow pea with a pure green pea The offspring of this P cross are called the first filial (F1) generation. The second filial (F2) generation is the offspring from the F1 cross. MENDELIAN GENETICS Genes in Pairs Allele An alternative form of a single gene passed from generation to generation They can be Dominant or Recessive MENDELIAN GENETICS Dominance An organism with two of the same alleles for a particular trait is homozygous. An organism with two different alleles for a particular trait is heterozygous. MENDELIAN GENETICS Genotype and Phenotype An organism’s allele pairs are called its genotype. The observable characteristic or outward expression of an allele pair is called the phenotype. An example of Genotype is Yy An example of Phenotype is yellow MENDELIAN GENETICS Mendel’s Law of Segregation Two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis. During fertilization, two alleles for that trait unite. Heterozygous organisms are called hybrids. MENDELIAN GENETICS Law of Independent Assortment Random distribution of alleles occurs during gamete formation Genes on separate chromosomes sort independently during meiosis. Each allele combination is equally likely to occur. MENDELIAN GENETICS Genetic Recombination The new combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment Combinations of genes due to independent assortment can be calculated using the n formula 2 , where n is the number of chromosome pairs. MENDELIAN GENETICS Monohybrid Cross A cross that involves hybrids for a single trait is called a monohybrid cross. MENDELIAN GENETICS Dihybrid Cross The simultaneous inheritance of two or more traits in the same plant is a dihybrid cross. Dihybrids are heterozygous for both traits. MENDELIAN GENETICS Probability • The likelihood that a particular event will occur • Example: What is the probability that a coin when flipped will be heads? .. ½ X ½ = 50% • What is the probability that a coin when flipped will be heads three times in a row? ½ X ½ X ½ = 1/8 or 1 out of 8 chance Gene Linkage The linkage of genes on a chromosome results in an exception to Mendel’s law of independent assortment because linked genes usually do not segregate independently. Complex Patterns of Inheritance Codominance Both alleles are expressed in the heterozygous condition. Complex Patterns of Inheritance Coat Color of Rabbits Multiple alleles can demonstrate a hierarchy of dominance. In rabbits, four alleles code for coat color: C, cch, ch, and c. Complex Patterns of Inheritance Dosage Compensation The X chromosome carries a variety of genes that are necessary for the development of both females and males. The Y chromosome mainly has genes that relate to the development of male characteristics. Complex Patterns of Inheritance Sex-Linked Traits Genes located on the X chromosome Red-green color blindness Hemophilia Complex Patterns of Inheritance Environmental Influences Environmental factors Diet and exercise Sunlight and water Temperature Pedigrees A diagram that traces the inheritance of a particular trait through several generations Karyotype Studies Karyotype—micrograph in which the pairs of homologous chromosomes are arranged in decreasing size. Images of chromosomes stained during metaphase Chromosomes are arranged in decreasing size to produce a micrograph. Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance Cystic Fibrosis Affects the mucus-producing glands, digestive enzymes, and sweat glands Chloride ions are not absorbed into the cells of a person with cystic fibrosis but are excreted in the sweat. Without sufficient chloride ions in the cells, a thick mucus is secreted. Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance Recessive Genetic Disorders A recessive trait is expressed when the individual is homozygous recessive for the trait. Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance Albinism Caused by altered genes, resulting in the absence of the skin pigment melanin in hair and eyes White hair Very pale skin Pink pupils Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance Tay-Sachs Disease Caused by the absence of the enzymes responsible for breaking down fatty acids called gangliosides Gangliosides accumulate in the brain, inflating brain nerve cells and causing mental deterioration. Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance Dominant Genetic Disorders Huntington’s disease affects the nervous system. Achondroplasia is a genetic condition that causes small body size and limbs that are comparatively short. Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance Sickle-cell Disease Changes in hemoglobin cause red blood cells to change to a sickle shape. People who are heterozygous for the trait have both normal and sickle-shaped cells. Chapter Diagnostic Questions Which symbol is used to represent the number of chromosomes in a gamete?
