Mendelian Genetics
The Father of Genetics
• Gregor Mendel
• A monk that worked with
pea genetics.

• Genetics is the study of
how traits are passed
to offspring.
The Father of Genetics
1. Gregor Mendel discovered that different
versions (alleles) of traits exist.
2. For each trait an organism inherits one
version (allele) from each parent.
3. If the two versions (alleles) are different
then one dominates over the other.
4. The two versions (alleles) separate during
gamete production.
Genes and Traits
• Genes code for protein that makes a trait.
• There can be different versions of a trait.
• EX: eye color is a trait.
• Blue
• Green
• Brown
• These are different versions of the trait eye
color. Different versions are called alleles.
Chromosomes and Genes
• Homologous
chromosomes – one from
mom and one from dad.
• Both have the same genes
but each can have
different alleles (different
versions of the same
gene).
Chromosomes and Genes
• Phenotype = trait = nose
size
• Genotype = gene letters =
GG
• Maternal chromosome can
have G or g (big or small)
• Fraternal chromosome can
have G or g (big or small)

Chromosomes and Genes
•

•
•
•
G is dominant over g
GG or Gg = a big nose
g is recessive under G
gg = a small nose
Gg = heterozygous
(different)(hybrid)
• GG or gg = homozygous
(same)(pure breed)

What kind of gametes can we get?
• Gametes are made by what process?
• Meiosis!
Punnet Squares
• Take the genotype of both parents.
• EX: father = Gg x mother = gg
• During meiosis and gamete production the two
alleles are separated. (independent assortment)
Gg
gg
GG will
produce
these
gametes.

Which
two
gametes
will form a
zygote?
gg will
produce
these
gametes.

If I flip a coin. What can I get?
Heads or Tails
If I flip a coin 10 times what should I get?
5 Heads & 5 Tails?
How many times can I get a heads?
Can I get 10 heads?
Boy or Girl? 50/50
• Each time a couple mates there is a 50/50 chance of getting a boy
or a girl.
• If the same couple has 10 kids what are
they most likely to have?
• 5 boys and 5 girls
• Is it possible to have 10 boys?
• Yes
• Is it likely?
• No
