Genetics
Mendelian Genetics & Patterns of Inheritance
Biology And Society: Testing Before Birth
– Genetic testing Allows expectant parents to test for possibilities in their
unborn child. Includes amniocentesis and CVS. Has risks associated with it.
The Role of Environment
– Many human characteristics result from a combination of heredity and environment.
The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance
– The chromosome theory of inheritance states that
Genes are located at specific positions on chromosomes.
The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for inheritance patterns.
Figure 9.23
Linked Genes
– Linked genes Are located close together on a
chromosome. May be inherited together.
– Sex chromosomes Influence the inheritance of
certain traits. Due to linkage
Gregor Mendel1822-1884
The father of
genetics
Gregor Mendel
He was an Austrian monk. He is important because carried out the first important studies of heredity. He studied plants because plants have male & female parts so that they can reproduce sexually.
Was the first person to analyze patterns of inheritance.
Deduced the fundamental principles of genetics
Peas In an Abbey Garden
– Mendel studied garden peas because
These plants are easily manipulated.
These plants can self-fertilize.
– Mendel carried out some cross-fertilization.
– He also created true-breeding varieties of plants.
– Mendel then crossed two different true-breeding varieties.
Peas In an Abbey Garden
– Mendel performed many experiments.
– He tracked several characteristics in pea plants from which he formulated several hypotheses.
Peas In an Abbey Garden
Heredity
The passing on of characteristics from parents to children (offspring).
Genetics
The branch of biology that studies heredity.
Traits
Inherited characteristics
Often represented by single letters.
ExamplesTall plant = TShort plant = tPurple flowers = FWhite flowers = f
Allele
The different forms of a gene for the same trait. For example if we look at a particular plant’s flower color we have two possibilities F (for purple flowers) and f (for white flowers). One allele comes from the female parent, one comes from the male parent.
Homozygous
Two alleles of the same trait are the same
Example: TT or tt
Heterozygous
Two different alleles for the same trait
Example Tt
Dominant
The allele that is always displayed in a mixed (heterozygous Tt) cross.
Represented by an upper case letter ex: T
Tongue curling is a dominant trait.
Recessive
A gene that is only displayed if both alleles are the same.
Represented by a lower case letter ex: t
The bent finger is dominant and the straight finger is recessive.
Question
Is “W” dominant or recessive? Is “w” dominant or recessive?
Genetic Alleles and Homologous Chromosomes
– Homologous chromosomes• Have genes at specific loci.• Have alleles of a gene at the same locus.
Phenotype
What the organism looks like. Memory trick: PH in “phenotype” is like the
PH in “photo” Example: red, white, furry, bald.
Genotype
The genetic constitution of the organism. In other words the genes of that organism.
Memory trick: GEN in “genotype” is like the GEN in “gene”
Example: RR, rr, Rr
Question
In a heterozygous cross of short plants and tall plants how would you represent the trait with letters?
Question
In a heterozygous flower if the dominant trait’s genotype was for a purple phenotype and the recessive trait’s genotype was for a yellow phenotype. What would the flower’s phenotype be?
P Generation
The parental generation These are true breeding plants. They will always
produce the same traits. They are homozygous for a trait YY or yy
F1 Generation The first generation. These result after a cross from two parents of the P
generation with different traits. Heterozygous Yy The F1 generation are often
referred to as hybrids as they will have mixed genotypes but the same phenotype.
F2 Generation These are the offspring of a cross between
the heterozygous F1 generation Yy X Yy These offspring will have
mixed genotypes andphenotypes.

Mendel’s First LawThis law states that allele pairs separate or segregate during the formation of eggs and sperm (gamete formation), and randomly come back together (unite) at fertilization.
The Law of Segregation
Mendel’s Second Law
Different traits are inherited separately (independently) of each other.
The Law Of Independent Assortment
Mendel’s Third Law
If a homozygous dominant parent (TT) is crossed with a homozygous recessive parent (tt) the offspring will ALWAYS be Tt, displaying the dominant phenotype.
The Law Of Dominance
Question
So how do we predict the probability of offspring types between two parents?
Think about how we predict a coin flip: With a coin flip.
1 in 2 that it will be heads.
Punnett Square
Used to show all possible combinations.

Using a Testcross to Determine an Unknown Genotype
– A testcross is a mating between An individual of unknown genotype and a homozygous
recessive individual.
– The rule of multiplication states that
• The probability of a compound event is the product of the separate probabilities of the independent events.

ABO Blood Type: An Example of Multiple Alleles and Codominance
– Multiple alleles are traits that are controlled by more than two alleles.
Multiple Alleles continued
Note: An individual can only have two alleles for any given trait, but the population can have many different alleles for that trait, sometimes over 100 different alleles for a single trait!
Examples: Rabbit coat color, feather color, human hair color.
Codominance
– Two of the human blood type alleles exhibit codominance.Both alleles are expressed in the
phenotype.
CodominanceCodominance
Two allelesTwo alleles are expressed ( are expressed (multiple multiple allelesalleles) in ) in heterozygous individualsheterozygous individuals..
Example:Example: blood type blood type1.1. type Atype A = I= IAAIIAA or I or IAAii2.2. type Btype B = I= IBBIIBB or I or IBBii3.3. type ABtype AB = I= IAAIIBB

boy - boy - type O (ii) type O (ii) X girl - X girl - type AB (Itype AB (IAAIIBB))
Polygenic Inheritance
– Polygenic inheritance is the additive effects of two or more genes on a single phenotype.
Bellwork Pre-AP Biology
A red flower (RR) is crossed with a white flower (rr).
1. In the case of codominance what is the phenotype of the offspring?
2. In the case of incomplete dominance what is the phenotype of the offspring?
3. What generation is the offspring?

Sex-Linked Disorders in Humans
– A number of human conditions result from sex-linked (X-linked) genes.
Is characterized by a malfunction of light-sensitive cells in the eyes.
Red-Green Color Blindness
Is characterized by a progressive weakening and loss of muscle tissue.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Is a blood-clotting disease.
Hemophilia
Female CarriersFemale Carriers
What is a carrier? Why are females usually carriers?
Pedigree Charts
The family tree of genetics
Family Pedigrees
– Mendel’s principles apply to the inheritance of many human traits.
A family pedigree
Shows the history of a trait in a family.Allows geneticists to analyze human traits.
What is a Pedigree?
A pedigree is a chart of the genetic history of family over several generations.
Scientists or a genetic counselor would find out about your family history and make this chart to analyze.

Interpreting a Pedigree Chart
1. Determine if the pedigree chart shows an autosomal or X-linked disease.
– If most of the males in the pedigree are affected the disorder is X-linked
– If it is a 50/50 ratio between men and women the disorder is autosomal.
Example of Pedigree Charts
Is it Autosomal or X-linked?
Interpreting a Pedigree Chart
2. Determine whether the disorder is dominant or recessive.
– If the disorder is dominant, one of the parents must have the disorder.
– If the disorder is recessive, neither parent has to have the disorder because they can be heterozygous.
Example of Pedigree Charts
Dominant or Recessive?
Example of Pedigree Charts
Dominant or Recessive?
Summary
Pedigrees are family trees that explain your genetic history.
Pedigrees are used to find out the probability of a child having a disorder in a particular family.
To begin to interpret a pedigree, determine if the disease or condition is autosomal or X-linked and dominant or recessive.
Pedigree Chart -Cystic Fibrosis
Human Disorders Controlled
by a Single Gene– Many human traits• Show simple inheritance patterns.• Are controlled by genes on autosomes.
Recessive Disorders
– Most human genetic disorders are recessive.Individuals can be carriers of these diseases.
Figure 9.14
Dominant Disorders
– Some human genetic disorders are dominant.
Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism.
Huntington’s disease is another example of a dominant disorder
Evolution Connection:The Telltale Y Chromosome
– Sex chromosomesInfluence the inheritance of certain traits.The Y chromosome of human males is only
about one-third the size of the X chromosome.Biologists believe that X and Y were once a
fully homologous pair.Major episodes of change have rearranged
pieces of the Y chromosome.
– Researchers recently used comparisons of Y DNA to confirm that the Lemba tribe in Africa descended from ancient Jewish people.
