Homozygous-Homozygous-
the genes (letters) of a trait described as homozygous or heterozygous
ex) Dd; heterozygousDD; homozygous dominant
dd; homozygous recessive
also called purewhen both genes are the same, either dominant or recessive.
ex) TT, tt, DD, dd

Heterozygous- also called ________
Phenotype-
hybrid-when both genes are different; one dominant, one recessive
ex) Dd, Tt
the physical appearance of a trait

~Mendel wondered how he could cross 2 tall pea plants and end up w/some tall & some short
~he theorized that the recessive trait can disappear in 1 generation and show up in the next generation as follows:

Law of Segregation and Recombination:
Mendel explained that “factors” which occur in pairs are separated from each other during gamete formation and recombined at fertilization.
Law of Independent Assortment:
Mendel concluded that different traits are inherited independently of one another (genes for different traits are separated & distributed to gametes independently of one another when they are on different chromosomes).

He learned this after doing dihybrid crosses which examine 2 traits (like pea color & pea plant height); yellow peas aren’t always on tall plants…More on dihybrids to come…..

Intro to dihybrid crosses (not in note pkt)

When he crossed yellow x yellow, the F2

We know now, that during meiosis, genes for different traits are separated and distributed to gametes independently of one another. (when they’re on different chromosomes).
Genes located on the same chromosome do NOT sort independently (aka gene linkage). Breeding experiments that examine 2 different traits are called dihybrid crosses

Intermediate InheritanceMany genes do not follow the patterns of dominance:may produce a trait between the 2 parents-
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE (blending)
red flowers + white flowers = pink flowers “R” + “W” = “RW”

Test Cross:Consider a phenotypically tall organism. What is it’s genotype? Is it TT or Tt? To answer this question, you would do a test cross:
definition:
*By observing the phenotypes of the offspring, we can trace back to the genotype of the parent:
If the genotype If the genotype of the parent was of the parent washomozygous (TT), heterozygous (Tt),
all the offspring are tall: 50% of the offspring
are tall and 50% are short:
when an organism showing the dominant trait is crossed with a pure recessive to determine if that dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous

Sex Linkage:~sex-linked traits are caused by genes found on the X chromosome~sex-linked traits are recessive~since they are recessive, fewer females are afflicted with these traits because they have another X chromosome which is dominantly normal. Males have only one X chromosome so when they have a sex-linked gene, they’ll display the trait.~the genotype of a sex-linked trait is represented as_________~females with one gene for the trait ( X X ) are called_____________~examples of sex-linked traits: hemophilia, color- blindness

Human PedigreeA diagram showing the transmission of a trait through several generations of
a family is called a pedigree. In Figure 1, generation 1 is made up of grandparents, generation II is their children, and generation III is their grandchildren.
1. Study the pedigree diagram and the key in Figure 1 to learn the symbols.

Use A to represent the allele for the ability to taste PTC, a dominant allele. Use aa for the PTC nontaster, who exhibits the recessive trait.
