  1. Genetics

  2. Genetics- study of heredity • Trait - variation of a particular character • Blending Hypothesis • Flowers: White + Red= Pink • Not true

  3. Gregor Mendel • Bred pea plants • Hypothesis- parents pass on separate/distinct genes

  4. Identify true breeders - Self-Fertilization • Crossed true breeders - Cross Fertilization - Developed seeds 3. Mendel planted seeds - recorded flower color that was produced

  5. Hybrids- offspring of 2 dif true breeding varieties • Monohybrid cross- one characteristic • P gen. - parent plants • F1 gen. - hybrids • F2 gen. - hybrids self fertilize/fertilize each other

  6. Conclusion • F1- plants carried 2 genes for flower color

  7. Developed 4 hypothesis 1. Alternate forms of genes = alleles • Ex: Purple and White form 2. Two alleles control gene characteristic Homozygous- 2 alleles the same (PP) or (pp) Heterozygous- 2 different alleles (Pp)

  8. 4 Hypothesis 3. Dominant and Recessive alleles (Pp) 4. Principle of Segregation- 2 alleles for a trait segregate during formation of gametes

  9. Punnet SquaresShows all outcomes of a genetic cross PP X pp = P P p p Pp Pp Pp Pp

  10. Cross F1 Gen. Pp X Pp = P p P p PP Pp Pp pp

  11. Phenotype-observable trait • Genotype-genetic makeup or combo of alleles Genotype: 1:2:1 Phenotype: 3:1

  12. Pp X pp= P p p Genotype: 2:2 or 1:1 Phenotype: p 2:2 or 1:1 Pp pp pp Pp

  13. Principle of Independent Assortment • During gamete formation in an F₂ cross, an allele from one character can be paired with either allele from another character • Ex: RrYy RY Ry • Alleles of dif gametes are sorted into gametes indep. of each other

  14. Exceptions • Intermediate inheritance- neither allele is dominant • Heterozygous = intermediate phenotype • C is paired with superscripts • Ex: Chickens CBCB CwCw CBCw pg 215

  15. Exceptions • Multiple Alleles- multiple alleles control traits • Ex: Human Blood type • A, B, AB, O O= ii A= IAIA or IAi B= IBIB or IBi AB= IAIB

  16. Exceptions • Codominace- heterozygote exhibits both traits Ex: AB blood type Polygenic Inheritance- 2 or more genes affect a single trait Ex: height, skin color

  17. AABBCC –dark aabbcc- fair AaBbCc- intermediate

  18. Nature/Nurture • Environment affects phenotypes/genotypes • Ex: Trees genotype never changes but size/color of leaves change yr to yr based on temp./sun • Ex: Identical twins- dif environments

  19. Chromosome Theory Inheritance • Genes located on chromosomes • Behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization= inheritance pattern • Homologous chromosomes- • Gene locus- alleles of a gene found on same location

  20. Genetic Linkage • Tendency of alleles on one chromosome to be inherited together • Closer 2 genes are < genetic linkage • Further apart 2 genes are > genetic linkage • Crossing over

  21. Sex-linked gene • Genes located on a sex chromosome • Ex: Red-Green Color blindness Hemophilia Both sex linked (x linked) recessive traits

  22. Pedigree • Family tree that records/traces occurrence of a trait • Figure out Genotypes of an indiv. by examining patterns

  23. Pedigrees
