The Independent Alignment of Different Pairs of Homologous Chromosomes At Meiosis Accounts for the Principle of Independent Assortment
The alignment of one pair of homologs is independent of any other.
Principle of Independent Assortment: The assortment of one pair of genes into gametes is independent of the assortment of another pair of genes.

Note that we’re simultaneously applying the Principles of Segregations and Independent Assortment.

• Two loci, two alleles per locus• Independent assortment between loci (genotypic
independence)• Dominance-recessive relationships between the
alleles found at each locus• One locus does not affect the phenotype of the
other locus (phenotypic independence)
3:1 ratios are all over this

Consider a cross between parents heterozygous for both deafness and albinism.
This is the same 9:3:3:1 ratio seen for Mendel’s cross involving pea color and shape.
What Works for Peas Also Works for Humans

Some Alleles Are Related Through Incomplete Dominance
Dominance relationships may differ, but the Principle of Segregation remains the same.

Pleiotropy – When One Allele Influences Many Traits
![Page 7: The alignment of one pair of homologs is independent of any other.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815d8d550346895dcb9aa4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pleiotropy in Action
Anemia, infections, weakness, impaired growth, liver and spleen failure, death.
Traits (phenotypes) associated with the sickle cell allele.

Polygenic Inheritance – When a Single Trait is Influenced by Many Genes
Height is a polygenic trait

Multiple Alleles
Many genes are present in 3 or more versions (alleles) – this is known as multiple alleles.
The human ABO blood group is determined by three alleles (IA, IB, and i) of a single gene.
![Page 10: The alignment of one pair of homologs is independent of any other.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815d8d550346895dcb9aa4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Codominance
The human ABO blood group illustrates another genetic phenomenon – codominance.
Codominance occurs when the phenotype associated with each allele is expressed in the heterozygote.
The AB phenotype (genotype IA
IB) is an example of codominance

Dominant vs. Recessive
NoYesAt least one parent of affected child must be affected?
YesNoTrait skips generations?
YesYesMales and females transmit the trait?
YesYesMales and females affected?
Autosomal recessive
Autosomal dominant
Note that lethal dominant traits tend to be very rare because affected individuals tend to die before mating

Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
Generations are not skipped
Typically about half the offspring are affected, but don’t count on this!!!
No silent carriers

Autosomal Recessive InheritanceHeterozygotes carry the
recessive allele but exhibit the wildtype phenotype
Males and females are equally affected and may transmit the trait
May skip generationsNote that with rare
recessive traits we usually assume that people from outside of a family do not possess the affecting allele

Genetics Problem-Solving Secrets! Known Genotype can be used to infer unknown Phenotype
(but not always, due to complications, e.g., penetrance) Known Phenotype can be used to infer unknown Genotype
(but not always due to lack of 1:1 correspondence: more than one genotype can give rise to a given phenotype)
Genotype (diploid) gives rise to Gametes (haploid) via Meiosis Gametes (haploid) give rise to “Progeny” (diploid) via
Fertilization Fertilization (syngamy) always results in Diploidy (I.e.,
>ploidy than haploid) Meiosis always results in Haploidy (I.e., anaphase I reduction
division from diploidy to haploidy)
