Dihybrid Crosses Incomplete Dominance Codominance Multiple Alleles In a nutshell!

Review: Dominant/Recessive One allele is dominant over the other (capable of masking the recessive allele) Example: Purple flowers are dominant over white PP = purple Pp = purple pp = white

Review Problem: Dominant/Recessive In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p) show the cross between two heterozygous plants. P p GENOTYPES: - PP (1); Pp (2); pp (1) - ratio 1:2:1 P p PP Pp PHENOTYPES: Pp pp - purple (3); white (1) - ratio 3:1

Dihybrid Cross: a cross that shows the possible offspring for two traits Coat Texture: R: Rough r: Smooth Fur Color: B: Black b: White In this example, we will cross a heterozygous individual with another heterozygous individual.

Step 1: Determine the parents’ genotypes Step 2: You must find ALL possible gametes that can be made from each parent. Remember, each gamete must have one B and one R. Parent 1: BbRr Parent 2: BbRr

Parent 1: BbRr Parent 2: BbRr Possible gametes: BR Br bR br Parent 2 Possible gametes: BR Br bR br F O I L

Step 3: arrange all possible gametes for one parent along the top of your Punnett Square, and all possible gametes for the other parent down the side of your Punnett Square…

On a blank sheet of paper… In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant over green seeds (y), and rounded peas (R) are dominant over wrinkled peas (r). Cross a plant that is heterozygous for both traits with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits. Draw a Punnett square to show all possible offspring, and determine the phenotypic ratio.

Incomplete Dominance A third (new) phenotype appears in the heterozygous condition. Flower Color in 4 O’clocks RR = red rr = white Rr = pink

Problem: Incomplete Dominance Show the cross between a pink and a white flower. GENOTYPES: R r - Rr (2); rr (2); RR (0) - ratio 2:2:0 r rr Rr PHENOTYPES: - pink (2); white (2) Red (0) - ratio 2:2:0

Sex Linked Traits Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 of the pairs are called autosomes. One pair of chromosomes is related to the sex of an individual , these chromosomes are called sex chromosomes XX = Female XY = Male

Sex Linked Traits Genes that are located on the X chromosome are called sex-linked genes. Traits determined by sex-linked genes are called sex-linked traits  Ex: Color Blindness (c = colorblind, C = normal)

Sex Linked Traits Color Blindness is recessive. FEMALES: both X chromosomes must have the gene in order for the trait to be expressed. MALES: only have one X chromosome. If that X chromosome has the colorblind allele, then the trait will be expressed. Colorblindness affects 1 in 100 females; 1 in 10 males

X-linked Recessive Inheritance Male Female X Y X X One copy of an altered gene on the X chromosome causes the disease in a male. = Hemizygote An altered copy on one of the X chromosome pair causes carrier status in a female. = Heterozygote

Sex Linked Traits XCXC – Normal Female XCXc – Carrier Female XcXc – Color Blind Female XCY– Normal Male XcY– Colorblind Male

Sex Linked Punnett Squares 1. A colorblind male marries a normal female. What are the offspring genotypes and phenotypes? (C = normal, c = colorblind) Xc Y XC

Sex Linked Punnett Squares 1. A colorblind male marries a normal female. What are the offspring genotypes and phenotypes? (C = normal, c = colorblind) Xc Y XC XC Xc XC Y XC XC Xc XC Y Genotypic Ratio: __________ Phenotypic Ratio: __________ What percentage of sons with colorblindness? _______ daughters? ______

Multiple Alleles There are more than two alleles for a trait Blood type in humans Blood Types? Type A, Type B, Type AB, Type O Blood Alleles? A, B, O

Rules for Blood Type A and B are codominant A and B are dominant over O

Problem: Multiple Alleles Show the cross between a mother who has type O blood and a father who has type AB blood. O O GENOTYPES: AO (2) BO (2) ratio 2:2:0:0:0:0 A B AO BO PHENOTYPES: - type A (2); type B (2) - ratio 2:2:0:0

Problem: Multiple Alleles Show the cross between a mother who is heterozygous for type B blood and a father who is heterozygous for type A blood. GENOTYPES: A O AB (1); BO (1); AO (1); OO (1) - ratio 1:1:1:1:0:0 B O AB OO BO AO PHENOTYPES: type AB (1); type B (1) type A (1); type O (1) - ratio 1:1:1:1
