Mendel and Genetics
Chapter 14Slide2
In the 1800s the popular inheritance theory was “blending”--offspring were a mixture of their parents
this suggests that organisms will become uniform over time (we know this isn’t true)
Mendel had a “particulate” theory (genes)
this was observed through his observations of pea plants
Gregor MendelSlide3
He carefully planned all his breeding experiments, taking careful notes on the results.
his experiments started with true-breeding varietiesthen followed the offspring for 2 generations.
(P, F
1, and F2)Mendel’s Peas.Slide4
Through thousands of crosses, Mendel’s observations led to 2 fundamental principles of heredity.
Law of Segregation
two alleles separate during gamete formation (meiosis) and end up in different gametes
dominant and recessive alleles
two heterozygous parents crossed always have a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 (Punnett
Squares)
Law of Independent Assortment
each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during meiosis
the chance of inheriting one trait from either parent is separate from all other traits

Mendelian Inheritance PatternsSlide6
Non-Mendelian Inheritance
Certain patterns of inheritance are more complex than those discovered by Mendel (either controlled by one gene or 2+ genes)
When trait is controlled by a
single gene...Complete Dominance--classic Mendelian patterns (strictly dominant or recessive)
Incomplete dominance--neither allele is completely dominant (blending in heterozygous phenotype)flower color
Codominance
--two alleles shown independently in heterozygous phenotype
animal colorationSlide7
Incomplete Dominance
CodominanceSlide8
multiple alleles-when a gene for a specific trait has more than two alleles. Results in multiple phenotypes.
This usually works in combination with incomplete or codominanceHuman ABO blood groups
Rabbit Fur ColorSlide9
pleiotropy--when a gene has multiple phenotypic effects.
Single gene affects multiple things in an organism.Most genetic diseases present this way
Cystic fibrosis and Sickle Cell anemiaSlide10
Lethal Genes: a gene that leads to the death of the organism when inherited in homozygous genotype (either dominant or recessive)
Dwarfism in humans (dominant allele)Manx cats (recessive)Yellow coat color in mice (dominant)Slide11
When a trait is determined by two or more genes
...epistasis-the phenotype at one locus alters the gene at a second locus
Interaction of two genes to control a single phenotype, does not have an additive effect
Might mask another gene, or cause a completely new phenotype
Labrador Retrievers and coat color2 genes: E (pigment) e (no pigment) ; B (black), b (brown)Slide12
polygenic inheritance--an additive
effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic characterMany genes working together to determine a particular trait
skin color, height, weight, hair color, eye color in humansSlide13
When inheritance depends on chromosomes
...sex-linked traits--specific traits are carried on the X or Y chromosome.
results in some traits affecting boys more often than girls
X-linked traits: carried on X chromosome
females carriers; males have trait or notSlide14
Colorblindness, baldness, sickle-cell anemia, hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy all are examples of sex-linked traits.
If a normal-sighted woman whose father was colorblind marries a colorblind man, what percentage of their sons will be colorblind? Daughters?Sex-linked traits…Slide15
Chromosome NumberDuring meiosis chromosomes can fail to split evenly (
nondisjunction)Aneuploidy
Results in severe phenotypic changes in an individual
Diagnosed via karyotypeDown Syndrome (trisomy 21)Klinefelters Sydrome (XXY)Turner Syndrome (X)
Disorders Resulting from Altered ChromosomesSlide16
Chromosome StructureSometimes parts of chromosomes are altered during cell division or altered due to environment
Deletion: missing pieceDuplication: extra piece
Inversion
: attach upside down in homologous pair, or within chromosmeTranslocation: piece joins non-homologous chromosomeCri du chat: deletion chromosome 5Leukemia: translocation (chromosome 9 attaches to 22) “Philadelphia Chromosome”
Fragile X: duplication (repeat at end of X)Slide17
Good Morning AP Bio!Today we are going to discuss our last type of inheritance pattern (linked genes)…then practice solving some of those problems.
Reminder: Test corrections are due tomorrow!
You will have time tomorrow to work through and finish your genetics practice problems packet (due Monday)Slide18
Remember: crossing over occurs during meiosis, when chromosomes trade alleles
Produces “recombinant chromosomes”
Some genes are located very closely on a chromosome, and are usually inherited together.
They are called “linked genes”Crossing
Over… RevisitedSlide19
linked genes: genes located near each other on the same chromosome are often inherited together
genes do not assort independently, so ratio of offspring varies depending on location of genes
result in genetic recombination (offspring with traits different from parents)
This lack of independent assortment indicates the genes are on the same chromosome.Slide20
Thomas Morgan and his grad student first discovered linked genes in drosophila (fruit flies).
When crossing a heterozygous wild-type fly (b+
b
vg+vg) to a black body, vestigial wings (b vg) he discovered allele frequencies that didn’t match the prediction83% parental types, 17% recombinant types
Identified that crossing over had occurred.http://www.bozemanscience.com/genetic-recombination-gene-mapping/ Slide21
The recombination frequency (%) is the same as the map units (distance) between genes on a chromosomeLess than 50% recombination = same chromosome
We can use this information to map genesSmaller number = closer togetherGreater than 50% recombination = different chromosome
Not able to map
Mapping a ChromosomeSlide22
The crossover frequency (recombination) between genes E and F is 6%, between E and G is 10% and between F and G is 4%.
Determine the sequence of genes on the chromosome.Practice ProblemSlide23
Environmental InfluenceNature vs. nurture
Expression of traits determined by environmental influences
When inheritance relies on other things…Slide24
Nonnuclear Inheritance (mitochondria and chloroplasts)
These organelles have their own DNA that replicates separately from nuclear DNA
Follows non-
mendelian inheritanceAll your mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) is from your mom!“mitochondrial diseases”—result from mutations in
mDNASlide25
Genomic ImprintingPhenotype depends on if allele is inherited from mom or dad (
autosomal)Allele from either parent is “silenced” by the presence of other allele
Example of
epigeneticsAffects very few genes, not commonSlide26
ChimeraSingle organism composed of genetically distinct traits
Two genomes, one organism!Results from multiple fertilized eggs fusing during developmentSlide27
