Gregor MendelGregor MendelGenetics =the
branch of biology that deals with heredity.
A great deal of what we know about genetics began with the work of a monk named Gregor MendelGregor Mendel, who experimented with sweet pea plants in the 1800s. 22
Mendel’s Work
•Mendel studied the patterns of inheritance in pea plants.
•He chose seven traits to follow.
33
•Mendel needed to make sure he had plants that always gave the same offspring-called true breeding.
•He “self-pollinated” plants until he got seeds that always gave the same offspring.
44
He took a purple flower plant and crossed it with a white flower plant.
He called these the parent generation (P1 generation)
What do you think the offspring (the F1 generation) looked like?

Mendel concluded:1. Something is being passed
from parent to offspring. 2. Sometimes you can see
“it” and sometimes you can’t.
3. If you can see “it”- “it” is dominant.
4. If “it’s” there and you can’t see “it”- it’s recessive.
77
1. Dominant alleles are shown using a capital letter (R)
2. Recessive alleles are shown using a lower case letter (r)
Examples: R=red r=pinkRR - ?Rr - ?Rr- ?Each version is called an allele.

Alleles are locted on genes on chromosomes.

What is a gene?What is a gene?• A segment on the chromosome A segment on the chromosome
that codes for a protein.that codes for a protein.• People have two copies of each People have two copies of each
gene, one copy inherited from gene, one copy inherited from the the mothermother and the other copy and the other copy inherited from the inherited from the fatherfather. .
• There are many versions of There are many versions of each gene-alleleseach gene-alleles
1155
If the two alleles in the pair are
identical, then the condition called homozygous.
•
If the 2 alleles are different, the condition is called heterozygous. The term “hybrid” is sometimes used to refer to heterozygous.1616
Genotype: the
genes or alleles
(RR, Rr, rr)
Phenotype: an organisms physical appearance (Red, White)

How did you end up with the traits and genes that you got?
During meiosis, each egg or sperm only gets one copy of each chromosome.
Law of Segregation (separation) states that gene pairs separate when gametes (sex cells) are formed, so each gamete has only one allele of each gene pair.

Law of Law of Independent Independent AssortmentAssortment states that
different pairs of genes separate
independently of each other
when gametes are formed.

Example:
Just because you get the gene for brown hair does not mean you will get the gene for blue eyes.
REVIEWREVIEW1. A trait is a characteristic an individual receives
from its parents. 2. Genes carry the instructions responsible for the
expression of traits. 3. A pair of inherited genes controls a trait. 4. One member of the pair comes from each
parent.5. Alternative versions of genes are known as
alleles.
2222
REVIEWMendel’s Principles of Inheritance
• Inherited traits are transmitted by genes which occur in alternate forms called alleles
1. Principle of Dominance - when 2 forms of the same gene are present the dominant allele is expressed
2. Principle of Segregation - in meiosis two alleles separate so that each gamete receives only one form of the gene
3. Principle of Independent Assortment - each trait is inherited independent of other traits (chance)
2233
Punnett Squares• Used to determine the probability
of a combination of alleles• Example: If a heterozygous black
rabbit is crossed with a heterozygous black rabbit, what are the chances the offspring will be black?

Example EOCT Question:Example EOCT Question:Earlobe shape is a human trait. Some people have free earlobes while others
have attached earlobes. Two parents with free earlobes have four children. Three
children have free earlobes and one child has attached earlobes. If these parents
have another child, what is the probability that the child will have attached earlobes?
A 25%
B 50%
C 75%
D 100% 2626
Example EOCT question:
In humans, a widow’s peak is dominant over a continuous hairline. Mary’s father has a widow’s peak, but Mary and her mother have a continuous hairline. What is the genotype of Mary’s father?

Incomplete dominance
- cross between
organisms with two
different phenotypes that
produces offspring with a
third phenotype that is a
blendingblending of the parental
traits.
Ex. Red and White = Pink 2299
Incomplete Dominance

CodominanceCodominance• a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes
produces offspring with a third phenotype in which both of the
parental traits appear together.
• Ex: Yellow and Orange = yellow with orange spots
3322
CodominanceCodominance•Both
phenotypes are expressed at the same time.

There are 3 alleles for blood type- multiple alleles
3333
CodominanceR = allele for red flowers
W = allele for white flowers W = allele for white flowers red x white ---> red & white spotted
3344
Polygenic traitsMost traits are controlled by many
genes, not just one.Examples: hair color and skin color.
There are several genes that control them.
This is the reason that there are so many different colors of hair and
skin in humans.
3355
Sex Linked TraitsTraits associated with
particular sexes are called sex-linked or X-linked traits. These are usually carried on
the X chromosome. Females = XX
Males = XY

Huntington’s Disease
• Huntington's disease degenerative disease that causes certain nerve cells in your brain to waste away.
• you may experience uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbances and mental deterioration.
• The disorder was documented in 1872 by American physician George Huntington.
• Fatal----ages:30-60

Colorblindness
•Sex-linked trait• Gene for color vision located on
the X chromosomes.• MalesMales are more likely to have
colorblindness because they have only one X chromosome
4477
What do you see?
The individual with normal color vision will see a 5 revealed in the dot pattern. An individual
with Red/Green (the most common) color blindness will see a 2 revealed in the dots.
