Mendel Performed “crosses” on different pea plants:

Parents: Yellow Seeds X Green Seeds

F1: All offspring had yellow seeds

Parents:X

F2: 3: 1

Generation “Gap”Generation “Gap”Parental PParental P11 Generation Generation = the parental = the parental

generation generation

FF11 generation generation = the first-generation = the first-generation

FF22 generation generation = the second-= the second-generationgeneration

Mendel found plants Mendel found plants were able to pass on were able to pass on traitstraits

He said these He said these physical traits are physical traits are inherited as inherited as “factors”“factors”

Mendel’s “factors” Mendel’s “factors” are actually are actually genesgenes

InheritanceInheritance

What we know now:

Genes code for traits

We have two copies of each gene – because we have two copies of each chromosome

Genetics TermsGenetics Terms

Gene – codes for Gene – codes for a trait (tallness)a trait (tallness) AllelesAlleles - - forms of a forms of a gene:gene: DominantDominant – “ – “stronger” of two stronger” of two alleles; always expressed;alleles; always expressed;(T)(T) RecessiveRecessive - - allele that shows only if allele that shows only if dominant is NOT there; dominant is NOT there; (t)(t)

Dominant MASKS the recessiveDominant MASKS the recessive

HomozygousHomozygous – SAME alleles – SAME alleles (TT or tt);(TT or tt); also called also called pure pure

HeterozygousHeterozygous DIFFERENT DIFFERENT alleles (alleles (Tt);Tt); also called also called hybridhybrid

Mendel’s LawsMendel’s Laws

Law of DominanceLaw of Dominance

Some alleles are dominant and other alleles are recessive. (T or t)

An organism with at least one dominant allele for a trait will always have that trait. (TT, Tt)

Recessive traits are only seen in homozygous recessive organisms. (tt)

Law of SegregationLaw of Segregation

During the During the formation of formation of gametesgametes (eggs or sperm), the (eggs or sperm), the two allelestwo alleles responsible for a responsible for a trait trait separateseparate from each other: from each other:

Tt can make two gametes:Tt can make two gametes: T gameteT gamete

t gametet gamete

Applying the Law of Applying the Law of SegregationSegregation

Law of Independent Law of Independent AssortmentAssortment

Alleles for Alleles for differentdifferent traits are traits are distributed to gametes distributed to gametes independently of one independently of one another.another.

This law can be illustrated This law can be illustrated using using dihybrid crossesdihybrid crosses..

Dihybrid CrossDihybrid CrossTraits: Seed shape & Seed colorTraits: Seed shape & Seed color

Alleles:Alleles: R round Y yellow r wrinkled y green

F1 hybrids F1 hybrids have an appearance somewhat in betweenin between the phenotypes phenotypes of the two parental varieties.

Example:Example: snapdragons (flower)snapdragons (flower) RR = red flowerRR = red flower

WW = white flowerRW = pink

Cross a red x white on your 1st box

Incomplete DominanceIncomplete Dominance

All RW =All RW = pink pink(heterozygous pink)(heterozygous pink)

Now cross two pink snapdragons on your paper.

Two allelesTwo alleles are expressed at same are expressed at same timetime

Example:Example: blood type has 3 alleles: blood type has 3 alleles:A, B, O (this is called MULTIPLE A, B, O (this is called MULTIPLE

alleles)alleles)

3 alleles: A, B, O3 alleles: A, B, O

1.1. type Atype A = AA or AO (_______)= AA or AO (_______)2.2. type Btype B = BB or BO (____)= BB or BO (____)3.3. type ABtype AB= AB = AB (codominant)(codominant)4.4. type Otype O = OO (______)= OO (______)
