10.1 Genetics developed from curiosity about inheritance
I. The Blending Hypothesis of Inheritance A. A
trait
is a variation of a particular characteristic such as for red flowers or yellow flowers B. In the early 1800 ’ s many biologists believed in the blending hypothesis, which stated that offspring would be a blend of their parents traits. A red and yellow flower would produce and orange flower
II. Mendel ’ s Plant Breeding Experiments A. Mendel ’ s work gave rise to the branch of Biology called
genetics
, the study of heredity B. Mendel developed the particulate hypothesis which states that parents pass on separate and distinct factors, or
genes
Mendel ’ s Plant Breeding Experiments C. To test this hypothesis, Mendel crossed true-breeding plants that had distinct and contrasting traits such as purple and white flowers D. Mendel
cross-fertilized
all his pea plants by hand to control which traits he wanted to control
Mendel methods
10.2 Mendel ’ s Principle of Segregation
I. Mendel ’ s Principle of Segregation A. The offspring of two different true-breeding varieties are called
hybrids
B. When Mendel crossed plants that differed in only one-trait it was called a
mono-hybrid cross
C. From these results Mendel developed the following hypothesis 1. There are alternative forms of a gene called
alleles
. 2. For each inherited trait, an organism has two alleles for the gene controlling that character, one from each parent. If both alleles are the same the individual is
homozygous
, and if the alleles are different the individual is
heterozygous.
Mendel developed the following hypothesis 3. When only one of the alleles in a heterozygous individual appears to affect the trait, that allele is called the
dominant
trait. The allele that does not appear to have an affect on the individual is called the
recessive
trait
Mendel ’ s Observation
Mendel ’ s Observations
Mendel developed the following hypothesis 4. The two alleles for a character separate during the formation of gametes, so each gamete carries only one allele for each character. This is known as Mendel ’ s
Principle of Segregation
II. Probability and Punnett Squares A. The inheritance of alleles follows the laws of probability B. If you were to flip two pennies the probability of flipping a head or a tail on one does not affect the probability of the other one C. A diagram that shows all the possible outcomes of a genetic cross is the
Punnett Square
Probability and Punnett
Punnett Square Eye color Homozygous Brown male X Homozygous Blue female b b B Bb Bb B Bb Bb
III. Genotypes and Phenotypes A. The way an organism looks is not the same as its genetic make up B. An observable trait is called a
phenotype
while the genetic make-up of alleles is called the
genotype
IV. The Testcross A. A
testcross
breeds individuals of unknown genotypes, but the dominant phenotype with a homozygous recessive individual B. Depending on the ratios of the offspring, the genotype of the unknown can be determined
Testcross
V. Mendel ’ s Principle of Independent Assortment A. Mendel also did crosses between plants that differed in two traits called a
dihybrid cross
B. From this he developed his
Law of Independent Assortment
which states that during gamete formation the way in which one allele is inherited does not affect the way another is inherited if they are on separate chromosomes
Independent Assortment
Problem: Monohybrid 1 • 1. An allele for brown eyes B is dominant over that for blue eyes b. A blue-eyed man, both of whose parents were brown-eyed, marries a woman. They have one child who is blue-eyed. What are the genotypes of all the individuals mentioned?
Problem 1 Man ’ s parents: Bb Dad: bb Mom: Bb Kids: Bb or bb B b b Bb bb b Bb bb
Problem: Monohybrid 2 2. The ability to taste the chemical PTC is determined by a single gene in humans with the ability to taste given by the dominant allele T and inability to taste by the recessive allele t. Suppose two heterozygous tasters (Tt) have a large family.
Problem: Monohybrid 2 a. Predict the proportion of their children who will be tasters and nontasters. Use a Punnett square to illustrate how you make these predictions.
b. What is the likelihood that their first child will be a taster? What is the likelihood that their fourth child will be a taster?
c. What is the likelihood that the first three children of this couple will be nontasters?

10.3 There are many variations of inheritance patterns
I. Intermediate Inheritance A. When an organism has two alleles and neither is dominant the phenotype is intermediate between the two alleles B. This pattern of inheritance is called
intermediate inheritance
Intermediate Example
Problem: Intermediate Inheritance 4. A hybrid pink C R C W snapdragon was crossed with a pure white one C W C W . Red flower color is incompletely dominant. • Make a diagram and list the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation
1:1 C R C W :C W C W Pink:White Problem 4 C W C R C W C R C W C W C W C W C R C W C W C W
II. Multiple Alleles A. Many genes have
several
alleles for each trait which expands the number of genotypes and phenotypes
B. Codominance
is when a heterozygous individual expresses both traits equally.
Multiple Allele Example
Problem: Multiple Alleles 5. Paul is blood type O. His father was blood type A and his mother was blood type B. What were the genotypes of his parents and what are the possible blood types and ratios expected for crosses involving these parental genotypes?
I A i and I B i 1:1:1:1 AB:A:B:O Problem 5 i I A i I B I A I B I B i I A i ii
III. Polygenic Inheritance A. When multiple
genes
affect a character the variation in phenotypes can become even greater.
B. When two or more genes affect a single character, it is called
polygenic inheritance
C. Examples of polygenic inheritance would include skin color, and height
Problem: Polygenic • 6. Melanin is coded for when the gene L, M, or N is present. The more of these genes are present, then the darker the skin the individual. Number the following genotypes in order of the darkest to lightest skin color phenotypes.
#1 LLMMNN Problem 6 #5 LXMXXX #2 LLMXNN #5 XXMMXX #4 LXMMXX #3 LXMMNX 1= Darkest 6=Lightest
IV. The Importance of Environment A. An individuals phenotype depends on environment as well as on gene B. In humans, nutrition influences height, exercise affects build, and exposure to sunlight darkens the skin
10.4 Meiosis Explains Mendel ’ s principles
I. Chromosome Theory of Inheritance A. Biologists worked out the processes of mitosis and meiosis in the late 1800s and observed the parallels between the behavior of chromosomes and the behavior of Mendel ’ s heritable factors
Chromosome Theory B.
The
chromosome theory of inheritance
states that genes are located on chromosomes, and the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for inheritance patterns C. The alleles for a gene reside at the same location or
gene locus
Pea Plant
II. Genetic Linkage and Crossing Over A. Mendel ’ s principles only work when for genes that are located on separate chromosomes B. The tendency for the alleles on one chromosome to be inherited together is called
genetic linkage
C. The closer the two genes are on a chromosome, the greater the genetic linkage
Linkage
10.5 Sex-linked traits have unique inheritance patterns
I. Sex-linked Genes A. Many species have sex chromosomes, designated X and Y that are associated with determining an individual ’ s sex XX= Female, while XY= Male
Sex-linked genes B. Any gene located on a sex chromosome is called a
sex-linked gene
C. Sex-linked genes were discovered by Thomas Hunt Morgan while studying fruit flies
Sex-linked eye color
II. Sex-Linked Disorders A.
A number of human conditions, including red-green color blindness and hemophilia are inherited as sex linked recessive traits B.
It takes two copies of the allele to be present in females for them to show signs of the disorder while it only takes one in males
Problem: Sex-linked 7. A color blind father and a mother who carries the color blind trait (b) have a boy and a girl. What are the percent chances of the children being color blind? A carrier for color blindness?
Color blindness: Sex-linked 50% color blind children 25% carrier X B X b Y X B X b X B Y X b X b X b X b Y
12.2 Accidents Affecting Chromosomes can Cause Disorders
I. Down Syndrome
A.
Trisomy 21
results in having three number 21 chromosomes B.
In most cases, a human embryo with an abnormal number of chromosomes results in a miscarriage C.
People with trisomy 21 have Down syndrome, named after John Langdon Down
II. Nonseparation of Chromosomes
A.
Nondisjunction
is when homologous fail to separate B.
A woman ’ s age will have an effect on the possibility of nondisjunction occurring C.
This is due to the time line of egg cell development
Nondisjunction
III. Damaged Chromosomes
A. Duplication
is when part of a chromosome is repeated
B. Deletion
is when a fragment of a chromosome is lost
C. Inversion
involves reversing a fragment of the original chromosome
D. Translocation
occurs when a fragment of one chromosome attaches to a non-homologous chromosome

IV. Jumping Genes A.
Single genes may move from one location to another in a chromosome or to a different chromosome B.
This was discovered by Barbara McClintock in the 1940 ’ s C.
These genes can land in the middle of other genes and disrupt them D. These genes are called
transposons

12.3 Mendel ’ s Principles Apply to Humans
I. Working With Human Pedigrees • A. Human geneticists cannot control matings, but must analyze the patterns of existing families • B. A
pedigree
is a family tree that records and traces traits
Pedigree Symbols
II. Disorders Inherited as Recessive Traits A.
There are over one thousand genetic disorders that are inherited as a dominant or recessive trait controlled by a single gene B.
Most human genetic disorders are recessive C.
A
carrier
is an individual who has a copy of the recessive disorder but does not show symptoms
Attached Earlobes
Pedigree #9 a. Is the attached ear lobe trait a dominant or recessive trait? How do you know?
Recesssive, only those ff colored.
b. What two terms could be used to describe the Ff genotype?
Heterozygous, or carrier
Problem 9: Pedigree What are the percent chances?
25% FF 50% Ff 25% ff 75% Unattached 25% attached f F F f FF Ff Ff ff
III. Disorders inherited as Dominant Traits A. Dominant alleles that are lethal are more common than lethal recessives B. Usually, the person with the dominant disorder dies before the allele can be passed on
Huntington ’ s Disease
IV. Sex-Linked Disorders A.
Sex-Linked alleles are usually located on the X Chromosome in humans B.
A male only needs to inherit one copy of the allele to exhibit the trait C.
A female must inherit two copies of the allele to exhibit the trait
