Gregor Mendel• Gregor Mendel:
– Austrian monk lived from 1822-1884
– Mendel developed principles of heredity without any knowledge of genes or chromosomes
– His principles were established through experiments with pea plants
Why was Mendel successful with the pea?
• Used pure breeding, 7 contrasting traits• Studied characteristics one at a time for many
generations• Used mathematics in analyzing his results• Obtained large numbers of offspring• Chose pea plants which normally self-fertilize• Inexpensive • Used scientific method • Easy to pollinate (transfer of male pollen to egg)
Mendel’s 7 contrasting traits
Genetics Terms• Define genes:
factors that control organism’s traits.
the part of chromosome that contains the genetic code.
• Every organism requires a set of coded instructions for specifying its traits
• For offspring to resemble their parents, their must be a reliable way to transfer hereditary information from one generation to the next
Genetics Terms• homozygous (pure): the alleles on homologous
chromosomes are the same • heterozygous: (hybrid): the alleles on
homologous chromosomes are different • parental generation (P): the two original
organisms being crossed - usually pure
• first filial generation (F1) : the first generation of offspring from the parents
• second filial generation (F2) : generation of offspring arising from the first filial generation
Genetics Terms
• Genotype: the genetic makeup of an organism– Homozygous Dominant: TT– Homozygous Recessive: tt– Heterozygous: Tt
• Phenotype: the appearance of an organism– Describes what it looks like
TT - Tall tt - short Tt - Tall

Three Laws by Mendel1. Law of Dominance: a pattern of heredity
in which one allele of a gene may express itself by masking the presence of the other allele
Dominant Trait: the trait or allele that is expressed (capital letter) R
Recessive Trait: the trait or allele that is present but that is not expressed (lowercase letter) r
Three Laws by Mendel
1. Law of Dominance:
Example:red flower (RR) X white flower (rr) red flower (Rr)

Example of Dominance
• R = red
• r = white
• RR x rr

Problem:Cross homozygous dominant with homozygous recessive

2. Law of Segregation Mendel’s second law
– When gametes are formed during meiosis:• There is a random segregation of homologous
chromosomes
• Random segregation of sister chromatids & alleles
• The result: new gene combinations are likely to be produced
• Segregation means separation and can lead to genetic recombination.
Phenotype:
____% red, ____% white
___ red : ___ white Genotype: ___% homozygous dominant, ___% homozygous recessive, ___% heterozygous
Example of Segregation

• r = white

3. Law of Independent Assortment
Mendel’s third Law – Scenario: Two different traits located on two different
chromosomes
• They segregate randomly during meiosis
• May be inherited independently of each other
• The cross of two organisms heterozygous for a trait is known
as a dihybrid cross
Law of Independent Assortment
Dihybrid CrossProblem:Cross homozygous tall and homozygous wrinkled seeds with homozygous short and homozygous smooth seeds
T = tallt = short
Q = wrinkledq = smooth

• What is the genotype from this cross?– We don’t worry about genotype for dihybrid
crosses

Step 1 - set up gamettes(sex cells)
(1 3, 1 4, 2 3, 2 4)

Incomplete Inheritance• Two examples of Incomplete Inheritance:
– Incomplete Dominance & Codominance
• Incomplete Dominance: – A case where one allele is partially dominant over the other
– Examples of Incomplete Dominance:
red snapdragons X white snapdragons pink snapdragons
cross between black and white Andulusian
fowl gives blue (gray) fowl
Example of Incomplete Dominance Pink Snapdragons

Intermediate Inheritance• Codominance: a case in which neither allele is
dominant over the other– Alleles have equal power
• Examples:– Cross between red and white short horned cattle gives
roan cattle
– Checkered black & white chicken
– Sickle-cell Anemia - a blood disease where RBCs are sickle shaped or half moon. Most common African.
– Heterozygous - half normal half sickle shape

Polygenic Inheritance
A pattern of a trait that is controlled by 2 or more genes. Phenotype express a range of variability.
• Examples:– Stem length, human height, eye color & skin colorStem length for a totally recessive plant is____ cm.
aabbcc = 4 cm AABBcc = cm Aabbcc = cm AABBCc = cmAAbbcc = cm AABBCC = cmAABbcc = cm
Gene Expression• Influence of External Environment:• Examples: Temp., nutrition, light, chemicals
– Color of rabbit in the summertime: brown– Color of rabbit in the winter: white– The temperature effects what color fur (or
what proteins) are expressed– Temp also determines the sex of a gator – Light determines color of bacteria
Gene Expression
• Influence of Internal Environment:
• Examples: Hormonal influences – Horn size in mountain sheep– Male pattern baldness– Peacock feathers

• Examples: Hormonal influences – Horn size in mountain sheep– Male pattern baldness– Peacock feathers
Nature vs. Nurture
• In many cases it is not only the genes that we have that determine what we look like
• Scenario: If identical twins (same DNA) were separated at birth and lived in 2 different environments and then brought together 25 years later would they look the same? Why or why not?
Nature vs. Nurture
• Answer:
The identical twins would have similar features (eye color, size of nose, etc.) but may look very different. What they did throughout their lives effects what they look like
– For example: sun exposure, diet, hygiene, injuries, etc.
