Study of heredity
passing of traits from parents to offspring
Traits- Visible characteristics

“Father of Genetics”
Austrian Monk
Conducted experiments with peas
Used numbers in the study of biology
Gregor Mendel
Experimented with
Self-pollination - fertilization within itself
Creation of pure-breed or true-breed
offspring identical to parents
Cross-pollination - fertilization of one by another
Offspring from both parents
Gregor Mendel
How many experiments were needed to determine
conclusive results?
Heads/Tails Activity
Round x Wrinkled =
7324 offspring
Yellow x Green =
8023 offspring
Axial x Terminal =
858 offspring
Purple x White =
929 offspring
Inflated x Constricted = 1181 offspring
Green x Yellow =
580 offspring
Tall x Dwarf =
1064 offspring

and
Crosses
Parental Generation - P
- Purebreds for each parent
1st Filial - F1 (first generation)
offspring of cross (children)
created hybrid - cross between 2 parents
2nd Filial - F2 (second generation)
Grandchildren
Mendel’s Conclusions
I. Traits are determined by a “factor”
Now termed GENES
Different forms of a gene are called ALLELE
II. Each “factor” is inherited separately
III. Each trait is determined by one of the “factors”
inherited from the parents
Principle of Dominance Dominant masks the expression of the
recessive

Probability
Likelihood that an event will happen
Ex) coin toss
1 coin flip = 1/2 chance or 50%
Heads 3 times in a row = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 =
1/8
1/2 chance for each event (flip)
Principles of Probablility can be used to predict
genetic outcomes
Genetics and Probability
Ability to roll tongue = dominant trait
Can you determine your genotype?
With a partner:
John is heterozygous for tongue rolling and
Nancy cannot roll her tongue. What is the
chance that they will have children that cannot
roll their tongue?
How did you figure it out?

combinations

Junior also has free earlobes. His sister has
attached earlobes. What are Mom and Dad’s
genotypes in relation to earlobes? What is the
chance that they will have another child with
attached earlobes?

Classwork: Genetics Worksheet
Genetic Crosses
Test Cross: used to determine genotype of dominant
phenotype
Cross an “unknown” dominant with a recessive
Why?
Genetic Crosses - 2 traits
Principle of Independent Assortment genes segregate independently during meiosis
cause of different genetic combinations in gametes
Dihybrid cross
both parents are hybrid for 2 traits
Genetic Crosses - 2 traits

Beyond Dominant and
Recessive
Incomplete Dominance -
neither allele is dominant over the other
Purebreds phenotypes are 2 extremes

Human Heredity
Human Chromosomes
Human cell =
46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
1 set from Mom (egg) : 1 set from Dad (sperm)
2 of those are known as sex chromosome
Female = XX
Male = XY
Remaining 44 chromosomes = autosome
Pedigree
Chart that shows the relationships within a family
Often used to determine the mode of inheritance
Pedigree (cont.)
Female =
Affected Female =
Male =
Affected Male =
If a heterozygote is known then half
of the shape is shaded
Pedigree Practice Worksheet
Pedigree Practice:
Autosomal Dominant?
A.
B.
C.
Draw each pedigree
Assume that the affected trait is dominant. Write the
genotypes beside each recessive individual
Is it possible for this trait to be autosomal dominant?
-Circle if possible
or
X if not possible
Can two affected individuals
have unaffected children?
Pedigree Practice
Autosomal Recessive?
A.
B.
C.
Assume the trait is recessive.
Draw the pedigree and write the genotype beside
each person.
Is it possible for the trait to be recessive?
- Circle if possible or X if not possible
If the trait is autosomal recessive, what can you
conclude the children will be of two affected parents?
Pedigree Practice
Carrier Heterozygote that
“carries” the
affected allele, but
does not express
the allele (Allele
remains hidden.)
** Who are the
carriers?
Is the affected trait autosomal dominant or
recessive? Why?

Sex-linked Traits
Sex-Linked Genes
Pattern of inheritance is located on the Xchromosome or the Y- chromosome
Y is much smaller
Therefore, there are more X-linked disorders/traits
What numbers to you
See?
Ex. Colorblindness
X-linked disorder
Most common in ?
Males (1/10)
Females (1/100)
Allele Definition -
Colorblind Problem
Marian’s father is colorblind. Marian herself has
normal color vision. Marian and her husband, Martin,
who is also colorblind, have just had their first child; a
son they have named Mickey. (Write the genotypes of
Marian and Martin.)
a. What is the probability that their son is colorblind?
b. If Martin were not colorblind, how would this affect
the prediction about Mickey?
c. If Marian and Martin were to have a girl, who they
would name Minnie, what is the probability that she
would be colorblind?
X-linked BELL
Hemophelia is a hereditary disease in which the blood
does not clot. The allele for normal blood clotting is
carried on the X chromosome.
1. A carrier female marries a hemophilic man. How many
male children will have hemophilia? How many female
children?
2. A normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries
a normal man. What is the chance that their children will
have hemophilia?
3. Todd is not colorblind. He is married to Ann whose
father was red-green colorblind. Todd and Ann have 2
children, Ed is colorblind and lisa is not. What are the
genotypes of Todd, Ann, Ed, and Lisa?
Pedigree Practice
A
B
C
Draw the pedigree and write the genotypes beside
each individual. Assume X-linked recessive.
Is it possible for it to be x-linked recessive?
What can you conclude about children whose mother
is affected by an x-linked recessive trait?
X-linked Conclusions
What can you conclude about children if only the
mother is affected by an X-linked recessive trait?
Why is it possible for females to be carriers of Xlinked traits, but not males to be carriers?

Karyotype Analysis:
Chromosomal Disorders
Nondisjunction- occurs when either homologous
chromosome fails to separate during meiosis
Results abnormal # of chromosomes in gametes
Trisomy = 1 extra homologous chromosome (3)
Polysomy = more than 1 extra
Monosomy = only 1 chromosome
Karyotype Analysis:
Chromosomal Disorders
High frequency of Nondisjunction in humans
Results usually so devastating that it results in
miscarriage
Only 3 trisomies that result in babies
Down’s syndrome - 21
Edward’s syndrome - 13
Patau Syndrome - 18
Nondisjunction:
Sex Chromosomes
Monosomy (X only) = Turner’s Syndrome
Trisomy (XXY or XXXY) = Klinefelter’s Syndrome
Trisomy (XXX) - cannot be distinguished from normal
females / no affect
When would the effect show up?
Chromosomal Alterations
Deletion
Portion of Chromosome lost during cell division
(genes lost = usually lethal)
Duplication
A fragment joins the chromosome and is then
repeated
Translocation
A fragment is moved from one
chromosome to another
