MENDELIAN GENETICS:THE STUDY OF GENETIC INHERITANCE PATTERNSBiology 9: Moretti / Dickson

Genetics Overview Genetics is the study of gene inheritance

and variation

Genetics answers big questions like: How are traits inherited? Why do offspring look similar to their

parents but not exactly like their parents? How do we have so many different types of

organisms and so much genetic variation? Objectives for Class:• Experiment with probability to see the diversity of offspring that can be made through sexual

reproduction

Genetics Vocabulary:Gene:

A section of DNA that encodes a particular protein (ex: hair protein)

Alleles:Different versions of a gene (ex: black hair vs.

blond hair)Everyone has two alleles for each gene – one from each parent!

New Vocabulary: Dominant and Recessive

Dominant: The allele that is always expressed as a trait if it is

present (regardless of other alleles) Recessive:

The allele that is only expressed as a trait if the dominant allele is not present

Mendelian Genetics and Probability

Objectives for Class:• Experiment with probability to see the diversity of offspring that can be made through sexual

reproduction

Evidence:True-breeding yellow x True-breeding green

(YY) (yy) All yellow offspring (Yy)

New Vocabulary: Genotypes and Phenotypes

Genotypes: The genetic make-up of an organism The combination of alleles

Phenotypes: The expressed physical

characteristics The “Trait”

“Phenotypes are the sum of Genotypes + Environment”

Mendelian Genetics and Probability


reproduction

“Makin’ Babies”:Mendelian Genetics and Probability

Step 1: Genotype Data Table”Determine the Traits of your baby by flipping the coin a total

of two times for each trait (once for each allele). Heads = Dominant and XTails = Recessive and Y

Example: Face shape = R, so heads=R and tails = rWrite the combination of the alleles in the box next to the trait. This is the Genotype for each trait

Step 2: Phenotype chartDetermine the Phenotype based on the Genotype from page 1Example: if you flipped two RR for face shape, the phenotype would be Round

Step 3: Draw your baby by using the traits from the Phenotype chart

Homozygous and Heterozygous Homozygous: Two of the same allele

for a particular trait are presentEx: RR (homozygous dominant) = Round

FaceEx: rr (homozygous recessive)= Square Face

Heterozygous: Two different alleles for a particular trait are presentEx: Rr = Round Face

Introduction to Mendelian Genetics

Some background on Mendel and what he did to advance genetics

You Don’t need to write this down: Gregor Mendel studied

genetics by doing experiments with pea plants.

He started with true-breeding plants, which he knew were homozygous for their traits.

Objectives for Class:• Use Mendel’s Principle of Segregation to explain: How can children show traits that their parents don’t have?

• Use Punnett Squares to solve monohybrid crosses

Objectives for Class:• Use Mendel’s Principle of Segregation to explain: How can children show traits that their parents don’t have?

• Use Punnett Squares to solve monohybrid crosses

You don’t need to write this down: Gregor Mendel studied genetics by

doing experiments with pea plants. He started with true-breeding plants,

which he knew were homozygous for their traits.

When he cross-bred these plants, he found that one phenotype was dominant over the other.

But when he cross-bred the offspring, the recessive phenotype reappeared!

How can we explain this??

Some background on Mendel and what he did to advance genetics

CW/ HW Monohybrid Crosses Complete Question 1 (you will need to reference a

book In sheep, the allele for black wool (a) is

recessive and the allele for white wool (A) is dominant. Imagine that two white sheep that are heterozygous mate with each other to produce lambs. Trace the alleles for each parent through

diagrams of Meiosis. Show the positions of the alleles on the chromosomes at: Metaphase I, Metaphase II, and at the end of meiosis. (In other words, draw the chromosomes & the alleles!)

Review Mendel’s Principles of Inheritance

Genes in Pairs: Traits are controlled by genes that occur with two

different forms (alleles) Principle of Dominance:

Some alleles are dominant and others are recessive

Principle of Segregation: The two alleles for a gene segregate (separate)

during meiosis so each gamete gets one allele Principle of Independent Assortment (new):

Alleles for different genes separate independently during meiosis.

What is one difference between these two cells?

Which chromosome is homologous to this one? If we looked at human cells, how many pairs of

homologous chromosomes would they contain? Answer: 23 pairs (22 pairs plus the sex chromosomes)

aaA A

b b BB

Ab

Four different possible gametes:AB ab Ab aB

Alleles for different genes separate independently during meiosis.

In other words: If a gamete gets A or a, this doesn’t effect whether it gets B or b. Any combo is possible:Parent: AaBb

Possible gametes: AB Ab aB ab

This creates genetic diversity between gametes, and therefore a greater diversity of offspring.

Mendel’s Discoveries: Principle of Independent Assortment

Objectives for Class:• Use Punnett Squares to solve dihybrid crosses• Use Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment to explain how genetic variation is

created in individuals.

Example: Dihybrid Cross(only write what’s in purple)

Today’s Classwork Practice Test

Work on your own or quietly with your table partner

If you finish at least 10 questions in class with GOOD explanation, you get a treat

Earn more points for staying focused (and lose them for distracting yourself or others)

Please, I want to award points! Do your work!

This will prepare you for the test we’ll have next TUESDAY and will tell me what you still don’t understand.

Bio 9C: Tuesday, 3.29.11Title: Case Study: Albinism in the Bowman Family

Homework: None (or, if you didn’t finish the Genetics Practice test, finish it!)

Silent Do Now: (in NB w/ title and date) Brainstorm what you know and what questions

you have about albinism (this refers to people who are albino).

Today’s Objectives: Analyze a family’s genetic traits in order to…

Construct a pedigree diagram Determine if a trait is dominant, recessive, or codominant

The Bowman Family (8 years ago)

The Bowman Family (more recent)

A Pedigree Diagram

Bio 9B: Wednesday, 3.30.11Title: Case Study: Albinism in the Bowman Family – Day 2

Homework: Complete through question 4 (this includes the pedigree,

the column for albinism and the questions associated with albinism).

The project is due at the start end of the first half of the double block tomorrow.

Silent Do Now: (in NB w/ title and date) What questions still remain about albinism?



Guidelines for working today: Work alone to write your Background

Info paragraph You may choose to work with one

partner after that. No groups bigger than 2!

You must ask permission to work at a back table. Some people will work at the front desks.

A Pedigree Diagram

Bio 9B: Wednesday, 3.31.11Title: Case Study: Albinism in the Bowman Family – Day 3

Homework: Study for the Test!

Silent Do Now: (be honest here… ) On the front of Albinism Case Study, if you were able to identify the

genotypes for albinism for the members of the Bowman Family, then put the letter “F” on the front of your case study.

If you struggled with this task, then put the letter “S” on the front of the packet

If you did not attempt it, put the letter “A” on the front of the paper



Completing the Bowman Pedigree

Question 5: Dark brown hair (D) is dominant over light brown hair

(d). Blue eyes (e) are recessive, so anyone with another color has at least one dominant allele (E). In the table on page 4, fill in the final column of genotypes for hair color

and eye color for all family members except those with albinism. (Hint: start with Peter! Then figure out the parents, and then fill in everyone else.)

Make a Punnett square showing predicted ratios of genotypes and phenotypes for hair and eye color in the Bowman children, based on their parents’ genotypes.

How closely do the actual numbers of children match these predictions? Question 6: Michael (the 2nd Bowman child) is married to Alysia.

Alysia is of Chinese descent, so she has black hair and dark brown eyes. They do not have any children yet.
