How do we get our traits?

Objective of the day...-Explain the basic principles of heredity-Distinguish between dominant and recessive traits-Distinguish between heterozygous and homozygous genotypes

This silly monster has 1 eyeball. Having 1 eyeball (E) is dominant to having 2 eyes (e). What would the offspring look like if you crossed a purebred 1-eyeball monster with a 2-eyeball monster?

If you crossed a 1-eyeball monster with a 2-eyeball monster and some of the baby monsters had 2-eyes, then what would you know that the genotype of the 1-eyeball monster is?

If you crossed two 2-eyeball monsters, then what will the offspring look like?

This silly monster has horns. There are 2 alleles for the gene for horns – 2 horns and 4 horns. If you crossed this monster with another that has 2 horns and some of the offspring had 4 horns then what would that tell you about these alleles? Which one is dominant and which is recessive?

If you cross this monster with one that is purebred with 2-horns, then what would the offspring look like?

9/19 Heterozygous/Homozygous 23

Homozygous:

•An organism that has 2 identical alleles for a trait

• Mendel used the word purebred

• Examples: TT or tt

Homozygous genotypes

TT -or- tt

SS -or- ss

GG -or- gg

RR -or- rr

YY -or- yy

PP -or- pp

What trait will these show if they are homozygous?

Homozygous:•These will show the dominant trait if they have 2 dominant alleles and they will show the recessive trait if they have 2 recessive alleles

• Examples: TT = tall or tt = short

Heterozygous:

•An organism that has 2 different alleles for a trait

• Mendel used the word hybrid

• Example: Tt

Heterozygous genotypes

Tt

Ss

Gg

Rr

Yy

Pp

What trait will these show if they are heterozygous?

Heterozygous:•These will show the dominant trait since that allele will mask the recessive allele

• Example: Tt = tall

“Genetics Rules”

• On your paper, write 3 “rules” to help you apply what we have learned so far about dominant and recessive alleles. Think about your vocabulary terms and use your genetics notes. What trait will something that is heterozygous show? What does it take to show a recessive trait? What impact does the genotype have on the phenotype? Try to move beyond just definitions.

Ex: Rule #1 – A homozygous dominant parent cannot produce any offspring that show recessive traits.

“Genetics Rules”

Share your rules with everyone at your table. As you listen to others, you may change or revise your own “rules”

As a group, determine which 1 rule you think is the most important. Write that on the whiteboard. Please write large enough that others can read but small enough that it will fit.

Examples:

Rule #1 – Two purebreds with opposite traits can only produce offspring that show the dominant trait

Rule #2 – 2 recessive parents cannot produce an offspring with a dominant trait

Rule # 3 – An organism that shows a recessive trait must be homozygous

Rule # 4 – Any organism that is heterozygous cannot show the recessive trait and will only show the dominant trait

People don’t spend a lot of time looking at Snapchat messages, so you have to figure out how to get your message across quickly.

Snapchat Assignment

• Due tomorrow

• On a piece of paper or as a PPT slide, create a Snapchat message that SHOWS and TELLS one of your genetics “rules”

• You may use your own rule or one from another table (just make sure to write it down)

• Your Snapchat should include a relevant picture and also text. The text should be no more than 20 words.

A homozygous dominant parent cannot produce any offspring that show that recessive trait.

How do we get our traits?

Objective of the day...-Explain the basic principles of heredity-Distinguish between dominant and recessive alleles and compare those to alleles that show incomplete or codominance-Identify phenotypes based on genotypes

Date Title Page #

9/20 Codominant alleles / Incomplete dominance 24

9/20 Blood types and gender 25

Sometimes alleles are neither dominant nor

recessive – this is called codominance or

incomplete dominance

Codominant alleles are written as capital letters with superscripts. With

codominant alleles, both traits are shown.

Example: The color of chicken feathers is controlled by codominant alleles

FB = black feathersFW = white feathers

FB= blackFW = white

Black

FBFB

Black & WhiteWhite

FWFW FBFW

With incomplete dominance we see a blending of traits. For instance, if you cross a red and a white flower you get

a pink one.

R = redW = white

Red

RR

White

WW

Pink

Find someone to talk to

Silently, without talking, please quickly stand up and move to stand with a partner who does not sit at your table.

The partner whose first name comes first alphabetically will be partner A. The other person is partner B.

Take turns reading and answering each question.

1. (partner A) If red (R) and white (W) are alleles that show incomplete dominance, then would a pink flower plant be homozygous or heterozygous? Explain.

2. (partner B) If you crossed 2 pink flowers, then what phenotype(s) could their offspring have? Explain.

3. (partner A) If black feathers (FB) and white feathers (Fw) are codominant alleles, then what would the possible phenotype(s) be of chickens that are homozygous? Explain.

4. (partner B) Using the alleles in question 3, what would a heterozygous chicken look like? Explain.

5. (partner A) Summarize everything you know about codominant alleles.

6. (partner B) Summarize everything you know about incomplete dominance.

Tell your partner thank you and have a seat please – quickly and quietly.

Tell whether each of these statements is true or false. If it’s false, then tell WHY (or why it’s not possible). If it is true, then provide an example to show how it is possible. Remember that the alleles for pea plants (telling which are dominant and which are recessive) are in your notebook.

You are not just telling true or false, but instead you are supporting those statements with evidence. Be ready to explain assigned question to the class.

a. Two parents that each show a recessive trait can never produce offspring together that show a dominant trait.

b. Two parents that each show a dominant trait can never produce offspring together that show a recessive trait.

c. A homozygous dominant tall pea plant is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant. There are some tall and some short plants produced.

d. A heterozygous smooth pod plant is crossed with a pinched pea pod plant. It is possible that there are some smooth and pinched pea pod plants produced.

e. We had a pea plant with green pods. We didn’t know if it was homozygous or heterozygous so we crossed it with a plant with yellow pods. Some of the offspring were yellow. Now we know that the green pod parent was homozygous.

f. A pea plant that produces white flowers must be heterozygous. A pea plant that produces purple flowers must be homozygous.

g. If two pink flowers (red and white alleles show incomplete dominance) are crossed, they can only produce other pink flowers.

h. If you had a black chicken and a black and white chicken, they could not produce a white offspring.

Example:

A-Two parents that each show a recessive trait can never produce offspring together that show a dominant trait.

This is TRUE because these parents only have the recessive alleles to pass down. In order to have an offspring that shows a dominant trait, at least one parent needs to have a dominant allele to pass down. Ex: tt + tt cannot make Tt or TT

• Vocabulary assignment is due tomorrow

Vocabulary BondWrite 1 term in each box. On the lines then write down how the words relate to one another.

Heredity

Understanding heredity can help us to understand how we get our phenotypes

Heredity is the passing of genes from parents to

offspring

Our genes determine our phenotype

Mission: We will be incrediblescience students.

How do we get our traits?

Objective of the day...-Identify phenotypes based on genotypes for a new baby

a. Two parents that each show a recessive trait can never produce offspring together that show a dominant trait. True (dominant traits can’t skip generations)

b. Two parents that each show a dominant trait can never produce offspring together that show a recessive trait. False (if they are both heterozygous they can)

c. A homozygous dominant tall pea plant is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant. There are some tall and some short plants produced. False (homozygous dominant parent cannot produce recessive trait in offspring)

d. A heterozygous smooth pod plant is crossed with a pinched pea pod plant. It is possible that there are some smooth and pinched pea pod plants produced. True (both have a recessive allele to pass on)

e. We had a pea plant with green pods. We didn’t know if it was homozygous or heterozygous so we crossed it with a plant with yellow pods. Some of the offspring were yellow. Now we know that the green pod parent was homozygous. False (it must be heterozygous)

f. A pea plant that produces white flowers must be heterozygous. A pea plant that produces purple flowers must be homozygous. False (to show recessive white flowers must be homozygous, to show dominant trait can be either homozygous ore heterozygous)

g. If two pink flowers (red and white alleles show incomplete dominance) are crossed, they can only produce other pink flowers. False (with each having an R and a W allele, they could produce offspring with all 3 phenotypes)

h. If you had a black chicken and a black and white chicken, they could not produce a white offspring. True (both parents would need to have the white allele to pass down and the black chicken does not have it)

• Please turn your homework paper in to the basket on center table.

• Human inheritance questions will be due tomorrow. – Put them into your folders for now so you don’t lose them

Polygenic Trait

• Polygenic traits are those traits that are controlled by more than one gene. Such traits may even be controlled by genes located on entirely different chromosomes. Human height, eye, skin color and hair color are examples of polygenic traits.

Write this definition on page 25Do NOT lose the number that I am giving to you.

Congratulations!

Write as an “If…then…because” statement

Come back at the end and define these words after you have drawn your baby.

When done, please put the penny back into the cup. Only flip the penny when determining what alleles the baby will inherit.

Be RESPECTFUL – we don’t tease or make fun of any traits.

Circle the trait that the genotype makes

When done, please turn all 3 papers in together. Make sure that both partners’ names are on all of them.

Just draw the head, not the entire body

And, yes, your baby has hair!!!

9/22 If a person shows a recessive trait, are they homozygous or heterozygous ? How do you know?

Please turn your homework (inheritance questions) into the basket on the center table. Make sure that your name is on it. I don’t need the questions stapled to it.

Thursday, September 22Write the date & question:

9/22 If a person shows a recessive trait, are they homozygous or heterozygous ? How do you know?

Homozygous because they must have 2 recessive alleles to show the recessive trait

How do we get our traits?

Objective of the day...-Identify genotypes based on phenotypes-Predict the outcome of genetic crosses

• 10 mins – finish baby drawings – make sure that traits that your baby shows match the ones that you determined yesterday with the coin toss

• Complete vocab on page 1

Baby Reflection

We used parents that were heterozygous for 27 different traits. How do you think that the variation in all of the offspring would change if these parents were homozygous for many of their traits instead of being heterozygous? Would it matter if they are homozygous for more dominant traits than recessive ones? What do you think would happen to the variation if we looked at more traits or less traits? Explain and provide examples to support your answer.

Your answer should be 1 complete well-written paragraph.

• Read pages 110-115

• Answer the Check Your Reading questions (4 of them total) and review questions 1-5 on page 115 (9?s total)

How do we get our traits?

Objective of the day...-Predict the outcome of genetic crosses

Penny toss1. When you toss a coin, what is the probability that your coin will land on heads?

2. Toss the coin 3 times. Count how many times it lands on heads or tails. Calculate the percent that were heads and tails.

3. Raise your hand if you got 50/50?

4. Toss the coin 20 times. Count how many times it lands on heads or tails. Calculate the percentage of heads and tails.

5. How did these results compare to those you predicted?

Gregor Mendel did many crosses and collected a lot of data. This data allowed him to determine that organisms have 2 alleles for each gene and that alleles can be dominant or recessive. In addition, he determined that each allele has a 50% chance of being passed from parent to offspring. Because of that, we can predict the outcome of genetic crosses using Punnett squares.

Probability and Genetics

Probability:

•The likelihood that a particular event will occur

Think About the Coin Toss?• You had a 50% chance of getting heads each time

and a 50% chance of getting tails each time

• The results of one event (toss) did not affect the results of the next event (toss)

• Your data may not have been exactly what you predicted – 50% heads / 50% tails – that’s why this is PROBABILITY

• The more data you collect, the closer your actual results will be to the results predicted by probability

• Mendel had a lot of data to analyze

Mendel and Probability:

•Mendel was the first scientist to recognize that the principles of probability can be used to predict the results of genetic crosses

Punnett Square:•A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross

Geneticists use Punnett squares to show all of the possible outcomes of a genetic cross and to determine the probability of a particular outcome.

Each box represents one possible outcome of the cross. Therefore, each box below will represent a 25% CHANCE of that outcome. EVERYoffspring that is created has 25% chance of having the genotype in each box.

Example:• In guinea pigs black fur (B) is

dominant to white (b). If you cross a purebred black guinea pig (BB) with a white guinea pig (bb), what is the probability that an offspring will have white fur?

Draw the SquareThere is a 0% chance of getting white

So…How do you make Punnett Squares?

Back to Pea Plants!!!

•T = tall

•t = short

When the other parent is type A or type AB

No – they do not have a recessive O allele to pass down

No – that person must be an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other and type O people only have two O alleles

If you crossed this monster with one that is homozygous for same size of eyes, what is the likelihood that it will have different size eyes?

If this monster is heterozygous for having 3 toes and we cross him with a monster that has 7 toes, what is the likelihood that the little monsters will have 7 toes?
