What this course is about From Lecture 1
Inheritance
how is genetic information read within cells?
how are traits transmitted to progeny?
how are unique physical traits determined by genes?
Mutant analysis
how are biological processes studied by analyzing
Today
mutants?
Genomics
what can we learn by studying whole genomes?
Throughout the quarter . . .
how and why are model organisms used in genetics?
how does that information apply to humans?
More
to
come!
Mutant analysis (AKA Genetic Analysis)
The use of mutants to understand how a
biological process normally works*
Very powerful - can be used to study metabolic
pathways, animal development, neurobiology,
cell division, etc.
A simple analogy…

Mutant analysis involves model organisms
What is a model organism?
A species that one can experiment with to
ask a biological question
Why bother with model organisms?
- All organisms are related at the molecular level
- Not always possible to do experiments on the
organism you want
- If the basic biology is similar, it may make
sense to study a simple organism rather than a
complex one
Which of these cameras do you think would be
easier to understand?

Features of a good model organism
• Short generation time
• Small, easy to maintain
• Large numbers of progeny
• Well-studied life cycle, biology
• Appropriate
for theorganism—the
question at hand
• Mendel
used a model
garden pea
- relatively short generation time—one per year
- lots of progeny per cross
- self-pollination and out-crossing possible
Telomeres
- true-breeding varieties readily available from
local merchant
96 million telomeres per cell!
Some commonly used model organisms
- Bacteria — Escherichia coli
- Budding yeast — Saccharomyces

- Fruit fly — Drosophila melanogaster

Conducting a mutant analysis with yeast
Case study: analyzing the adenine biosynthetic
pathway by generating and studying “ade” mutants
Wild-type yeast can survive on ammonia, a few vitamins, a few
mineral salts, some trace elements and sugar…
They synthesize everything else they need, including adenine
What genes does yeast
need to synthesize adenine?
(Why might we care about adenine?)

Are all of the mutations in one gene?
Are m1 and m2 alleles of the same gene?
What would you predict if…
• only one enzyme is needed for synthesis of adenine?
All mutants would be alleles of the same gene.
• many enzymes are needed for synthesis of adenine?
Different genes might be mutant.
How to find out how many different genes we have
mutated?
Do complementation test to ask:
are the mutations alleles of the same
gene or of different genes?

Practice Question
Yeast cells can normally grow on a sugar called galactose as the sole carbon source.
Seven mutant “a” haploid yeast strains have been isolated that are unable to grow
on galactose (“gal”) plates.
Six of these mutant strains were each cross-stamped on a gal plate with a wild type
“a” strain. The resulting pattern of growth on the gal plates is depicted below
(shading = growth). In all plates, the wild type strain is in the horizontal streak.
On the leftmost plate, mark the location of the a/a diploid with a circle.
What is the mode of inheritance of mutant phenotype in mutants 1-6? How can you
tell?
Diploids grow on gal plate… so, wild type is dominant
Practice question (continued)
Each of the seven “a” mutant strains was cross-stamped on gal plates against “a”
versions of the seven mutants. The results are depicted below:

Looking just at mutants 1–6 for now… group these six mutants by
complementation group.
Practice question (continued)
Now consider mutant 7. What is surprising about the result in the complementation
table?
Fails to complement any of the others… how could it be an
allele of 3 different genes?
Mutant 7 was cross-stamped on gal plate with wild type as you saw with the other
six mutants earlier:
What do you conclude about the mode of inheritance of
mutant 7? How does that help you explain the
complementation test result for mutant 7?
Complementation test fails with a dominant mutation…
heterozygote will always show the mutant phenotype
What can you conclude about how many genes are represented in this collection of
seven mutants?
At least 3 genes (can’t tell about m7)
Complementation is relevant to humans
Family A
Family B
aaBB
= deaf
AAbb
AaBb
Within each family, does deafness look like it’s dominant or
recessive?
recessive
Assign genotypes (A, B, etc.) to the deaf individuals in these
pedigrees.

neurodegenerative disease resulting in premature death
Cellular cholesterol accumulation accompanies the disease (can
be detected using a chemical called ‘filipin’ which fluoresces
upon binding cholesterol)

Mutations in either ADE1 or ADE2 lead to a defect
