Gregor Mendel(1822-1884)

Responsible for the Laws governing Inheritance of Traits

Gregor Johann MendelAustrian monk

Studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants

Developed the laws of inheritance

Law of segregationLaw of independent assortmentLaw of dominance

Gregor Johann MendelBetween 1856 and 1863, Mendel cultivated and tested some 28,000 pea plants

He found that the plants' offspring retained traits of the parents

Called the “Father of Genetics"

Genetic Terminology Trait - any characteristic

that can be passed from parent to offspring

Heredity - passing of traits from parent to offspring

Genetics - study of genes & heredity

Mendel Chose Pea plants to test his theories

Pea plants expressed different traits (i.e) green or yellow seed

Genes are factors that are passed on to offspring to parents Genes are found on DNA

Alleles are different forms of a gene 2 alleles = a Gene

Alleles: alternative versions of a gene.

The gene for a particular inherited character resides at a specific locus (position) on homologous chromosome.

For each character, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent

Applying the Law of Segregation

Principle of Dominance

In simple mendelian genetics, alleles can be either dominant or recessive

Dominant alleles: expresses the trait it represents; masks over recessive traits Represented by a capital letter (ex. R)

Recessive alleles: only is expressed when it is not paired with the dominant allele Represented by a lower-case letter (ex. r)

Hybrid (heterozygous) Gene: a gene with both a dominant and recessive allele Ex. Rr

Homozygous genes: have the same trait for both alleles Ex. (RR) or (rr)

WW or Ww

More Terminology

Genotype - gene combination for a trait (e.g. RR, Rr, rr)

Phenotype - the physical feature resulting from a genotype (e.g. red, white) i.e.- what you see

Example: Eye color

-Genotype: bb

-Phenotype: Blue

Eight Pea Plant Traits Seed shape --- Round (R) or Wrinkled (r)

Seed Color ---- Yellow (Y) or Green (y)

Pod Shape --- Smooth (S) or wrinkled (s)

Pod Color --- Green (G) or Yellow (g)

Seed Coat Color ---Gray (G) or White (g)

Flower position---Axial (A) or Terminal (a)

Plant Height --- Tall (T) or Short (t)

Flower color --- Purple (P) or white (p)

Principle of Segregation

If Maternal genotype (mom) has Bb and Paternal genotype (dad) has BB, how does the offspring end up with Bb? Or BB?

During the formation of gametes (meiosis) the alleles will separate or segregate into different gametes

Traits are passed down from generation to

generation

P generation (parental generation)

F1 generation (first filial generation, the word filial from the Latin word for "son") are the hybrid offspring.

Allowing these F1 hybrids to self-pollinate produces:

F2 generation (second filial generation).

It is the analysis of this that lead to an understanding of genetic crosses.

Law of Independent assortment and Dihybrid

crosses Genes for a different trait can segregate independently during gamete formation

Dihybrid CrossExample: pea COLOR and Texture can be cross together

Dihybrid Cross A breeding experiment that tracks

the inheritance of two traits.

Mendel’s “Law of Independent Assortment”

a. Each pair of alleles segregates independently during gamete formation

b. Formula: 2n (n = # of heterozygotes)

Incomplete Dominanceand

Codominance

Incomplete Dominance

Some traits are neither dominant nor recessive

So what happens to the Hybrid? (Rr)

Incomplete Dominance results in an intermediate phenotype for the hybrid species

Example:

RR-WHITE rr- RED Rr- PINK

Co-Dominance (multiple alleles)

Some traits are both, in a sense, dominant

Therefor, the hybrid of the two traits will result in both traits being expressed

Example:

BB- White

bb-Brown

Bb- brown and white

Roan Cow

Blood Type and Co-dominance

Another example of a co-dominant trait is blood type

Blood type A and B are both dominant (O is recessive) AA- homozygous type A BB homozygous type B AB- type AB AO- Type A BO- Type B OO- Type O

Hero Blood When receiving blood

transfusions, people must receive blood that matches their own blood types The body will reject a foreign

blood type

Because type O(-) is recessive, it can be given to any other blood type

Downside of being O(-): You can only receive O(-) Only 9% of the population is O(-)

Sex-linked Traits

Traits (genes) located on the sex chromosomes

Sex chromosomes are X and Y XX genotype for females XY genotype for males

Many sex-linked traits carried on X chromosome

Sex-linked Traits

Sex Chromosomes

XX chromosome - female Xy chromosome - male

fruit flyeye color

Example: Eye color in fruit flies

There are NO ALLELES on the Y-chromosome

Sex-linked Trait Problem Example: Eye color in fruit flies

(red-eyed male) x (white-eyed female) XRY x XrXr

Remember: the Y chromosome in males does not carry traits.

RR = red eyed

Rr = red eyed

rr = white eyed

XY = male

XX = female

Sex-linked Trait Solution:

50% red eyed female

50% white eyed male

Female Carriers

Sex-linked trait facts

1. Y-chromosome carries NO traits

2. Male offspring always show the trait of their mother

3. Females can be carriers of the recessive trait herterozygotes

4. Males are never carriers They either have the trait or

the don’t

Polygenic Traits• Polygenic traits, or

continuous traits, are governed by alleles at two or more loci, • each locus has some

influence on the phenotype.

• Hair, eye and skin color, height, face shape are polygenic traits

• So, several genes influence the outcome of the trait

Environmental Influence on Gene

Expression For some traits, a particular

environment can influence the expression of the gene

Examples: Temperature and Light

Himalayan Rabbit fur color

Drugs and chemicals Cyclopean fish

Gender Baldness

Bellringer- Human Impact Remediation

1. New fuels are being produced by converting corn and grasses into

compounds containing alcohols that can be broken down for energy in

various engines. The purpose of this research is to

A. reduce the use of nonrenewable resources.

B. increase the rate of air pollution.

C. reduce the rate of homeostasis in organisms.

D. cause a loss of biodiversity in the rain forests.

2. The presence of wastes, such as plastic bags and motor oil, in lakes and

streams miles away from developed areas suggests that

A. ecosystems are interconnected and human action can alter ecosystem equilibrium.

B. recycling programs have failed to conserve biotic resources.

C. natural processes can alter ecosystem stability.

D. direct harvesting practices have led to irreversible destruction of ecosystems.

3. The northern elephant seal was almost hunted to extinction in the 1800s.

By the late 1890s, approximately one hundred seals were left, reducing the

gene pool of the population. What will be the consequence of this reduction?

A. Competition within the population will increase.

B. The surviving elephant seals will be better able to adapt.

C. Inbreeding will be less frequent among the remaining population.

D. The elephant seals will be more vulnerable to environmental change.

4. When fertilizers run off farmland into streams and ponds, the nitrogen content of the water increases. This can lead to rapid

growth of algae in a process called eutrophication. How can this process affect

other organisms in the water?

A. Oxygen is used up as algae is decomposed, reducing the amount available to other organisms.

B. The water becomes better able to support aerobic organisms.

C. The algae provide food for fishes and other organisms, leading to decreased algae populations.

D. The extra nitrogen provides additional food for the other organisms, increasing their population

What is a Pedigree?

A pedigree is a chart of the genetic history of family over several generations.

Scientists or a genetic counselor would find out about your family history and make this chart to analyze.

Pedigree Analysis

Goals of Pedigree Analysis

1. Determine the mode of inheritance: dominant, recessive, partial dominance, sex-linked, autosomal, mitochondrial, maternal effect.

2. Determine the probability of an affected offspring for a given cross.

Pedigree Symbols

• Half shaded shapes signify carriers (heterozygotes)

Interpreting a Pedigree Chart

1. Determine if the pedigree chart shows an autosomal or X-linked disease.

If most of the males in the pedigree are affected the disorder is X-linked

If it is a 50/50 ratio between men and women the disorder is autosomal.

Example of Pedigree Charts

Is it Autosomal or X-linked?

Answer: Autosomal

Interpreting a Pedigree Chart

2. Determine whether the disorder is dominant or recessive.

If the disorder is dominant, one of the parents must have the disorder.

If the disorder is recessive, neither parent has to have the disorder because they can be heterozygous.

Dominant or Recessive?

Answer: Dominant

Dominant or Recessive?

Answer: Recessive

Summary

Pedigrees are family trees that explain your genetic history.

Pedigrees are used to find out the probability of a child having a disorder in a particular family.

To begin to interpret a pedigree, determine if the disease or condition is autosomal or X-linked and dominant or recessive.
