11-1 THE WORK OF GREGOR MENDEL Vocabulary: Genetics True-breeding Trait Hybrid Gene Allele Segregation Gamete P and F generations Key Concepts: What is the principle of dominance? What happens during segregation?

Background Mendel was an Austrian monk who was in charge of the monastery garden. His work with pea plants has led to him being considered the “Father of Modern Genetics.” Genetics: the scientific study of heredity (how things are passed on from generation to generation)

Pea plant structure: Reproduction occurs through flowers Male part of the flower contains pollen  male sex cells (sperm) Female part of the flower contains eggs  female sex cells When pollen fertilizes an egg cell, a seed for a new plant is formed Pea plants normally fertilize by SELF-POLLINATION (pollen and egg are from the same flower)

Background When Mendel took charge of the monastery garden, he had several true-breeding plants (if allowed to self-pollinate, offspring would be identical) Some would produce only green seeds, others only yellow, some tall, and some only short

Mendel’s Experiments Pea Plant Options Mendel controlled the reproduction of pea plants He would cross-pollinate plants (pollen and egg from different pea plants) Two different pea plant parents Prevented plants from self-pollinating Pea Plant Options

GENES & DOMINANCE Mendel studied several different pea plant traits Trait: a specific characteristic (ex: seed color or plant height) that changes from one individual to another Mendel’s Labels for pea plant generations Original pair of plants: P (parental) generation Offspring of “P” generation: F1 (first filial= Latin for “first son”) generation Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits (ex: yellow x green seeds): HYBRIDS

Review Summarize what Mendel did in his experiment’s

Hybrids What were the F1 hybrids like? Did the characters of the parent plants blend in the offspring? NO! All of the offspring had the character of only ONE parent; the character of the other parent seemed to have disappeared

Mendel’s 2 Conclusions Biological inheritance is determined by factors that are passed from one generation to the next “factors” = GENES determine traits Each of the traits Mendel studied was controlled by one GENE that occurred in two contrasting forms EX: GENE = seed color ; 2 different forms = yellow or green 2 different (opposite) forms: ALLELES ALLELE #1: yellow ALLELE #2: green

Mendel’s Conclusions Principle of Dominance: some alleles are dominant and others are recessive Inherit 2 dominant alleles: dominant allele will show Inherit 2 recessive alleles: recessive allele will show Inherit 1 dominant and 1 recessive allele, the DOMINANT allele will show!

Dominant vs. Recessive

Review 1)What is an allele? 2) How are dominant and recessive alleles different?

The recessive allele reappeared! Segregation This led Mendel to ask: Had the recessive alleles gone away forever? To answer this he allowed the F1 hybrid plants to self-pollinate to produce an F2 generation The recessive allele reappeared!

Recessive allele reappeared! generat. T t Tt HOW? F1 F-1 F2 Recessive allele reappeared!

When each F1 plant flowers, the 2 alleles are segregated (separated) from each other so that each gamete (SEX CELL) carries only a single copy of each gene Therefore, each F1 plant produces 2 types of gametes those with an allele for yellow seeds those with an allele for green seeds pollen = sex cell

Summary: Mendel’s Principles 1)The inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by genes. Genes are passed from parents to their offspring 2) Principle of Dominance: in cases where 2 or more forms of a gene (alleles) exist for a single trait, some forms of a gene may be dominant and others may be recessive 3) In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene – one from each parent. These genes are segregated (separated) from each other when gametes are formed during meiosis

Review 1) Summarize Mendel’s 3 principles in your own words.
