I. The Foundation of Genetics
______________(mid-1800s) - Austrian monk, Father of
Genetics
- studied inherited ________ in edible garden peas by
making hybrids

1884 – Mendel died
1900s – his work was _________________ by
Carl Correns
Hugo de Vries
Erich Tshermak
II. Basic Terminology
III. Modern Principles of Inheritance (Based on Mendel’s Work)
1. Each trait is determined by a ____________; an organism has two _____________ for each gene.
2. Law of Dominance genotype Aa Bb
3. Law of Segregation Aa Bb
4. Law of Independent Assortment AaBb

B. Polygenic Inheritance - when several genes influence a ____________________
e.g., eye color skin color
father
mother
VII. Human Genetic Disorders or Conditions - mutations - A. Due to abnormal # of autosomes e.g., Down syndrome or ____________ Fig. 9-22aFig. 9-22a

Why are there 3 copies of chromosome # 21?
________________________:
- the failure of chromatids to separate during anaphase II
B. Due to chromosomal deletions or presence of several repeats of a DNA sequence
1) Cri-du-chat syndrome
- “___________________________” (French) - deletion of short arm of chromosome # 5 - severely impaired _____________________
2) Fragile X syndrome
- multiple copies of GAT can inactivate the entire _________________________- the most common form of inherited _________________________________- attention deficit, ____________________
- large ears, long face, flat feet
C. Due to imbalance in the # of the X and Y chromosomes
1) Turner syndrome - X 1/3000 live births (females)
2) Trisomy X - XXX 1/1500
3) Klinefelter syndrome – XXY 1/1000 males
4) Jacob Syndrome – XYY 1/1000 males

D. Due to single gene mutations or defects
1) Due to X-linked recessive alleles a) hemophilia b) red-green colorblindness c) Duchenne muscular dystrophy d) cleft palate
2) Due to autosomal gene defects (recessive) a) sickle cell anemia
- abnormal ____________________
Normal red blood cellsNormal red blood cells Sickle cells Sickle cells (abnormal red blood (abnormal red blood
cells)cells)
b) Cystic fibrosis - non-functional _______________________ - produce excessive _______________ - lung infections
D. Due to single gene defects…continued
3) Due to dominant alleles
e.g., Huntington’s disease
- delayed onset disease - brain slowly deteriorates: ___________ - loss of ________________________ - painful paralysis - Huntington gene – Chro. # 4 (1993) - huntingtin protein forms aggregates in
__________________ which die off
VIII. How Phenotypes are Affected by Non-genetic Factors (Environment)
A) Himalayan rabbit genotype = BB or Bb
B = black fur
phenotype? = __________________________________
Why???Why???
- enzyme producing black pigment - ______________ at 93°F (34°C)
B) Colors of pea flowers
- ________________________________________
C) Height
- _________________________________
D) Skin color
- ________________________________
E) Intelligence
F) Susceptibility to cancer
