MEIOSIS
Meiosis is sex cell division.
It consists of:
1. the DNA replicating normally
2. Homologous chromosomes line up
independently (and may cross over).
3. A meiotic cell division.
4. A mitotic cell division.
This has the effect of halving the
chromosome number and forming
gametes.
Sexual reproduction is important as it
greatly increases variation in a
species.
CROSSING OVER
During meiosis, as the homologous
chromosomes line up before the first cell
division, part of the neighbouring homologues
may swap.
The point at which the crossing over occurs is
called the chiasma.
Instead of two possible gametes, there are
four produced.
Lab manual pages 105/6, (107 opt)
BASIC GENETIC CROSSES
Remember Mendel? And Peas? And Punnet squares?
He found that traits were inherited in chunks, called genes.
Simple monohybrid (one trait)
crosses:
A purple pea is crossed with a
white flowered plant (P
generation). All of the offspring
(F1 generation) are purple.
When the resulting plants were
crossed he found that there was
always a 3:1 ratio in the offspring
(F2 generation).
He correctly deduced that:
• the parents are separately
donating their information to the
offspring
• the purple colour is dominant
to the white flower (recessive)
The cross of the F1 generation:
Gametes
Offspring
PP is homozygous dominant
Also called “pure breeding”
pp is homozygous recessive
Pp is heterozygous
The genotype is a description of the genes contained in the individual
The phenotype is a description of its physical appearance (e.g. Purple)

Incomplete Dominance and Codominance
Some alleles (gene forms) are not simply dominant or recessive.
In Incomplete Dominance an
intermediate phenotype is
produced:
In Codominance both alleles are
expressed at the same time:
Lab manual pages 114 and 115
Incomplete
Dominance
In cases of incomplete dominance,
neither allele dominates and the
heterozygote is intermediate in
phenotype between the two
homozygotes.
In crosses involving incomplete
dominance, the genotype and
phenotype ratios are identical.
Examples of incomplete dominance
include flower color in snapdragons
(right) and sweet peas, where red
and white flowered plants cross to
produce pink flowered plants.

expressed in the heterozygote. Examples include:
Roan (stippled red and white) coat color in cattle. A cross between a red bull
and a white cow produces all roan offspring.

Multiple alleles
It is possible to have more than 2 alleles for a particular trait.
A common example is the ABO blood groups in humans:
O is non-functional
A forms a protein with A antigen
B forms a protein with B antigen
A and B are codominant
Lethal Genes
Lethal genes are ones that cause death in the individual. The lethal gene
may be dominant or recessive.
In the heterozygous individual there may be some observed difference, e.g.
Manx (tailless) cats. Even when dominant the lethal gene may be passed on
if it does not have onset until after reproductive age (e.g. Huntington’s).
Lab manual pages 116/117 and 120
Lethal Alleles
Lethal alleles are gene mutations that result in a gene product which
is not only non-functional, but affects organism survival. Some lethal
alleles are fully dominant and are therefore lethal in the
heterozygote. Dominant lethal alleles are usually eliminated rapidly,
because their expression is fatal.
Exceptions occur when the expression of the allele is delayed until after
reproductive maturity, as occurs in Huntington disease.
In other cases (e.g. Manx cats), the allele
mutation results in a viable heterozygote
with a recognizable phenotype.
Recessive lethal alleles are fatal only in
the homozygote since their effect is
masked in the heterozygote carrier.
Examples of Lethal Alleles
When lethal genes prevent full

term development of the
embryo, offspring are
produced in a 2:1 ratio (2
heterozygotes to one normal).
In the inheritance of coat color
in yellow mice, offspring
phenotype ratios depart from
the expected Mendelian 3:1
when yellow mice are mated
together.
About two thirds of the
offspring are yellow, and one
third are non-yellow (right). A
testcross reveals the yellow
colored mice to be
heterozygotes.

Incidence of Lethal Alleles
The average human is heterozygous for 3 to 5 lethal recessive genes.
Example: brachydactyly in humans
Shortening of the finger bones is caused by a lethal allele; heterozygotes have
shorter fingers, but homozygotes for the lethal allele die in infancy from other
skeletal defects.
Of the offspring of two brachydactylic people, one in four will die in infancy, one
half will show brachydactyly, and one in four will be normal (1:2:1 ratio).

ML
The Manx allele
interferes
with spinal development and
heterozygotes (ML M) have no

In ML ML homozygotes, the
double dose of the allele

which does not survive.

Multiple Alleles in Blood
The four common blood groups of the human ABO blood group
system are determined by three alleles: A, B, and O (also represented
in some texts as IA, IB, IO or just i). This is an example of a multiple
allele system for a gene.
ABO antigens consist of sugars attached to the red blood cell surface.
These sugars provide the individual antigenic properties. The alleles
code for enzymes that join these
sugars together.
Allele O produces a non-functional enzyme
that is unable to make changes to the basic
antigen (sugar) molecule.
The other two alleles (A, B) each produce
a different enzyme that adds a different,
specific sugar to the basic antigen.
Any one individual possesses only two
alleles and they are expressed equally.

DIHYBRID CROSSES
This involves two traits that are not linked (not on the same chromosome).
Each of the traits are inherited independently.
In “Quarks” Two eyes (E) is dominant to one eye and Triangular shape (T) is
dominant to Pentagonal.
2 Quarks both EeTt are crossed:
Lab manual page 113
LINKED GENES
Linked genes are on the same chromosome.
This means that when cell division occurs the 2 genes are very
likely to stay together.
So where we might expect a offspring phenotype ratio of 1:1:1:1, we
actually get something else.
Two genes B (Bent) and D (Dark) are linked.

B and D (and b and d) are linked. The 1 Bbdd and 3
bbDd individuals are due to crossing over. The different
numbers are due to random chance.
