MENDEL AND THE GENE IDEA
1
I. OVERVIEWI. OVERVIEW
2
What genetic principles account for the passing of traits from parents to offspring?
The “blending” hypothesis is the idea that genetic material from the two parents blends together (like blue and yellow paint blend to make green) offspring
The “particulate” hypothesis is the idea that parents pass on discrete heritable units (genes)
Mendel documented a particulate mechanism through his experiments with garden peas which began in 1860’s
I. INTRODUCTIONI. INTRODUCTIONA. Blending Theory of Heredity
• Pre-Mendel• Proposed that hereditary material from each parent mixes or blends in the offspring
B. Particulate Theory of Heredity• Gregor Mendel’s theory• Parents transmit to their offspring inheritable factors (genes)
• Began in 1860’s

Mendel’s Characters
14
A. Mendel’s Conclusions
1. For each character, an organism inherits two genes (factors), one from each parent.
2. Alternative forms of genes are responsible for variations in inherited characters.
If the two alleles (factors) differ, one is fully expressed (dominant allele); the other is completely masked (recessive allele).
•Symbol for dominant allele—capital letter•Symbol for recessive allele—lowercase letter
15
Law of Segregation3. Law of Segregation
• The two genes (factors) for each character segregate during gamete formation
• Occurs during meiosis
16
4. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment• States: Each allele pair segregates independently of
other gene pairs during gamete formation.• Developed from dihybrid crosses• Refers to behavior of genes during gamete formation• Refers to genes on different chromosomes.• Ex: RrTt x RrTt
17
Law of Independent Assortment
18
B. Punnett Square• Named for R. C. Punnett• Special chart used to
predict outcome of genetic crosses
19
C. Inheritance as a Game of Chance
1. Laws of Probability• Probability of 1 means event certain to occur• Probability of 0 means event certain not to occur• Probability of all possible outcomes for an event add up
to 1• Two basic rules of probability:
20
a. Rule of Multiplication
• the probability that independent events will occur simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities
• What is the probability that offspring will be pp if the parents are Pp x Pp?
-First determine the probability that an egg will receive a “p” allele (½)
-Then determine the probability that a sperm will receive a “p” allele (½)-Solution:
½ x ½ = ¼
21
b. Rule of Addition• The probability of an event that can occur in two or more
independent ways is the sum of the separate probabilities of the different ways.
• In the cross Pp x Pp, what is the probability of the offspring being heterozygous (Pp)?
-2 ways:egg sperm probabilityP (½) p (½) = Pp ¼p (½) P (½) = Pp ¼
-Solution¼ + ¼ = ½
22
IV. Concept 14.3: Extending IV. Concept 14.3: Extending Mendelian GeneticsMendelian Genetics
23
The relationship between genotype and phenotype is rarely as simple as in the pea plant characters Mendel studied
Many heritable characters are not determined by only one gene with two alleles
However, the basic principles of segregation and independent assortment apply even to more complex patterns of inheritance
24
A. Extending Mendelian Genetics for a Single Gene
1. Inheritance of characters by a single gene may deviate from simple Mendelian patterns in the following situations:
•When alleles are not completely dominant or recessive
•When a gene has more than two alleles•When a gene produces multiple phenotypes
V. EXTENDING MENDELIAN GENETICS
Complete Dominance• The phenotypes of the heterozygote and the dominant homozygote are indistinguishable.
25
V. EXTENDING MENDELIAN GENETICS
A. Incomplete Dominance• Dominant phenotype is not fully expressed in
heterozygote, resulting in a third phenotype that is intermediate between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.
• Example:P red flowers x white flowers
F1 pink flowers (self-pollinate)
F2 ¼ red ½ pink ¼ white
26
Degrees of Dominance
• Complete Dominance- the phenotypes of the heterozygote and the dominant homozygote are indistinguishable.
• Incomplete Dominance- neither allele is completely dominant and the F1 hybrids have a phenotype somewhere between those of the two parental varieties.

30
The Relation Between Dominance and Phenotype
31
1. A dominant allele does not subdue a recessive allele; alleles don’t interact
2. Alleles are simply variations in a gene’s nucleotide sequence
3. For any character, dominance/recessiveness relationships of alleles depend on the level at which we examine the phenotype
• Tay-Sachs disease is fatal; a dysfunctional enzyme causes an accumulation of lipids in the brain
B. Codominance• Defined as the full expression of both alleles in a heterozygote• Ex: MN blood type
• Tay Sachs• At the organismal level, the allele is recessive• At the biochemical level, the phenotype (i.e., the
enzyme activity level) is incompletely dominant• At the molecular level, the alleles are codominant
32
Blood Type Genotype
M MM
N NN
MN MN
33
Frequency of Dominant Alleles1. Dominant alleles are not necessarily more common in
populations than recessive alleles
2. For example, one baby out of 400 in the United States is born with extra fingers or toes
3. The allele for this unusual trait is dominant to the allele for the more common trait of five digits per appendage
D. Multiple Alleles• More than two alternative forms (alleles) of a gene• Ex: ABO blood group• The four phenotypes of the ABO blood group (A,
B, AB, O) in humans are determined by three alleles for the enzyme (I) that attaches A or B carbohydrates to red blood cells: IA, IB, and i.
• 3 alleles produce 4 possible phenotypes—A, B, O, AB
• IA and IB are dominant to i (recessive).• IA and IB are codominant to each other.• Each person carries only 2 alleles.

36
Blood Problem• Identification bracelets were accidentally removed
from three newborn babies. Blood typings were taken to help in the identification procedures. The blood types for the babies and their parents were: Baby 1- type A, Baby 2- type O, Baby 3- type AB• Mr. Black = type A Mr. Black = type B• Mr. Green = type AB Mrs. Green = type O• Mr. White = type O Mrs. White = type O
• Which baby could belong to Mr. and Mrs. Black?• Which baby could belong to Mr. and Mrs. Green?• Which baby could belong to Mr. and Mrs. White?
E. Pleiotrophy• Ability of a single gene to have multiple phenotypic
effects• For example, pleiotropic alleles are responsible for
the multiple symptoms of certain hereditary diseases
• Ex: sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis
38
F. Epistasis• Interaction between two nonallelic genes in which one
alters the phenotypic expression of the other (a gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus)
• Dihybrid cross results will deviate from expected ratio of 9:3:3:1
• One gene determines the pigment color (with alleles B for black and b for brown)
• The other gene (with alleles C for color and c for no color) determines whether the pigment will be deposited in the hair
39
F. Epistasis• Ex: albinism (no pigmentation)
BB, Bb-black coat colorbb-brown coat colorCC, Cc-can make pigment (melanin)cc-albino (can not make pigment)

•Quantitative characters are those that vary in the population along a continuum•Quantitative variation usually indicates polygenic inheritance
G. Polygenic Inheritance
• Additive effect of two or more genes determines a single phenotypic character
• Ex: Skin pigmentation in humans is controlled by at least 3 separately inherited genes.
--incomplete dominance--AABBCC- very dark--aabbcc-very light--AaBbCc-intermediate shade--phenotype can be affected by
environmental factors (sun exposure)
44
H. Environmental Effects on Phenotype• Coat color can be influenced by temperature.
-Ex: Siamese cats• Curly wing mutant of Drosophila loses the ability to fly
at less than 16° C• Color of flowers of Hydrangeas because of soil pH
I. Phenocopy• Environmentally produced phenotype that simulates
the effects of a particular gene-Ex: The drug thalidomide mimics the birth
defect phocomelia.
45
Environmental Genetic Interaction
46
47
Environmental Effects on Phenotype (Nature vs. Nuture)•Another departure from Mendelian genetics arises when the phenotype for a character depends on environment as well as genotype
•Coat color can be influenced by temperature.-Ex: Siamese cats
•Curly wing mutant of Drosophila loses the ability to fly at less than 16° C
•Color of flowers of Hydrangeas because of soil pH
Siamese Cat--Coco
48
J. Norm of Reaction• Refers to range of phenotypic possibilities due to
environmental influences• The norm of reaction is the phenotypic range
of a genotype influenced by the environment• Nature vs. Nurture (genetics vs. environment)• Norms of reaction are broadest for polygenic
characters such as skin color which are usually referred to as multifactorial (both genetic and environmental factors influence phenotype).
49
• For example, hydrangea flowers of the same genotype range from blue-violet to pink, depending on soil acidity

VI. MENDELIAN INHERITANCE IN HUMANS
A. Difficult to study because:• generation time• number of offspring• can not control breeding experiments• different genetic backgrounds
B. Human Pedigrees (Family Tree)• Shows inheritance pattern of a particular phenotypic
character• Used to show Mendelian inheritance in humans• Helps to understand the past and predict the future• Important in genetic counseling for disabling or lethal

C. Autosomal Recessive Disorders
58
1. Recessively inherited disorders show up only in individuals homozygous for the allele
2. Carriers are heterozygous individuals who carry the recessive allele but are phenotypically normal (i.e., pigmented)
3. Albinism is a recessive condition characterized by a lack of pigmentation in skin and hair
4. If a recessive allele that causes a disease is rare, then the chance of two carriers meeting and mating is low
5. Consanguineous matings (i.e., matings between close relatives) increase the chance of mating between two carriers of the same rare allele
Autosomal Recessive Disorders• Usually involves a malfunctional protein or no protein
production at all• Consanguinity
-genetic relationship resulting from matings between closely related people-often produces homozygous recessive offspring-not always harmful
• Heterozygotes can be normal• Examples:
59
1. Cystic Fibrosis• Most common lethal genetic disease in US• Common in Caucasians• Caused by lack of or defective membrane protein that pumps Cl- out of
cells• striking one out of every 2,500 people of European descent• Increased secretions of mucus from pancreas and lungs• No cure• Symptoms include mucus buildup in some internal organs and
abnormal absorption of nutrients in the small intestine• Treat with diet and antibiotics
60
2. Tay-Sachs• Most common in individuals of Central European Jewish descent• Enzyme does not function properly; can not metabolize gangliosides
(lipid)• Lipids accumulate in brain• Lethal gene
61
3. Sickle-cell Anemia• Most common in African-Americans• Caused by single amino acid substitution in hemoglobin
(valine for glutamic acid)• Causes abnormally shaped rbc• Heterozygous individuals are said to have sickle-cell trait• Heterozygous condition is malaria resistant
4. Albinism• Decreased or lack of production of melanin
5. Glactosemia• Lack an enzyme to break down galactose
62
ALBINISM
63
6. PKU• Phenylketanuria• Can not metabolize amino acid phenylalanine• Can result in mental retardation
7. Sickle- Cell Anemia• Most common in African-Americans• Caused by single amino acid substitution in hemoglobin (valine for glutamic acid)
• Causes abnormally shaped rbc• Heterozygous individuals are said to have sickle-cell trait
64
Autosomal Dominant Disorders 1. Achondroplasia
• Type of dwarfism• Lethal in homozygous state
65
AchondroplasiaAchondroplasia
66
2. Huntington’s Disease•Degeneration of nervous system•Late-acting lethal dominant•Onset about age 40
3. Manic-Depressive Disease4. Polydactyly
•More than 5 digits on hand and/or feet
67
68
E. Genetic Screening and Counseling1. Carrier Recognition
•Tests are available to detect carriers of Tay-Sachs, cystic fibrosis, and sickle-cell trait.
2. Fetal Testinga. Amniocentesis
•involves removal of amniotic fluid•can analyze fluid for chemical content•culture cells for karyotyping•done between 14-16 weeks
69
Amniocentesis Chorionic Villus Sampling
70
b. Chorionic Villi Sampling• fetal tissue suctioned from chorionic villi of placenta• results within 24 hours• done at 8-10 weeks
c. Ultrasound• sound waves used to study fetal structure
d. Fetoscopy• involves insertion of fiber-optic scope into uterus
e. Newborn Screening• PKU screening
71
F. Multifactorial Disorders• Disease that have both genetic and environmental influences
• Ex: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, alcoholism, some forms of mental illness
72
You should now be able to:
73
1. Define the following terms: true breeding, hybridization, monohybrid cross, P generation, F1 generation, F2 generation
2. Distinguish between the following pairs of terms: dominant and recessive; heterozygous and homozygous; genotype and phenotype
3. Use a Punnett square to predict the results of a cross and to state the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the F2 generation
4. Explain how phenotypic expression in the heterozygote differs with complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance
74
4. Define and give examples of pleiotropy and epistasis5. Explain why lethal dominant genes are much rarer than
lethal recessive genes6. Explain how carrier recognition, fetal testing, and
newborn screening can be used in genetic screening and counseling
Monohybrid Cross• A brown dog is homozygous for the gene
that controls coat color. The brown dog is mated with an albino (all white) dog. The dogs have many puppies. All of the puppies have brown coat color.• Draw a punnett square for this cross and give
the expected genotypic and phenotypic outcomes.
• What are the dominant and recessive alleles? Provide symbols for both alleles.
• What would be the results if these offspring mated with an albino dog? A homozygous brown dog? A heterozygote?
Dihybrid Cross• About 70% of Americans perceive a bitter taste from the
chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). The ability to taste this chemical results from a dominant allele (T) and not being able to taste PTC is the result of having two recessive alleles (t). Albinism is also a single locus trait with normal pigment being dominant (A) and the lack of pigment being recessive (a). A normally pigmented woman who is heterozygous for PTC tasting, has a father who is homozygous for both albinism and PTC tasting. She marries a heterozygous, normally pigmented man who is a taster but who has a mother that does not taste PTC• Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the offspring.
• A blue-eyed, left-handed woman marries a brown-eyed, right handed man who is heterozygous for both traits. Blue eyes and left-handedness are recessive.• Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the offspring.
Exit Slip• If a man with type AB blood marries
a woman with type O blood, what blood types would you expect in their children. (Popcorn)
