Heredity Heredity by Brainpop
2
I. Heredity & Genetics parent to offspring oThe passing of traits from parent to offspring genes oTraits are controlled by genes
3
II. ALLELES FORM oONE FORM of a gene one oSex cells have one two oBody cells have two forms or ALLELES for a single gene dominant oOne may be dominant over another.
4
III. DOMINANT AND RECESSIVE mask oDominant will always be expressed and will “mask” recessive dominant oA recessive trait can only be expressed if there are no dominant alleles present.
5
oExample dominant oExample: Eyecolor—Brown color is dominant and blue is recessive.
6
capital lower caseDominant alleles are represented with a capital letter, recessive with a lower case letter.
7
IV. GREGOR MENDEL father o“father of genetics”
8
peas oMendel worked with peas
9
V. PROBABILITY ochance ochance something will happen 50% oEx: heads or tails on a coin is 50% (1/2 chances) accurate omore accurate with more trials
10
Why is it that if a couple has 2 children, they don’t always have one boy and one girl? 2 is a really small trial #…so won’t always “see” the ratio!
12
VI. Using a Punnett Square oUsed to predict probability of traits otrait is given TWO letters, one for each allele.
13
o“Purebred” =BB or bb. o“heterozygous”(hybrid). Bb GENOTYPE = Gene Combinations located on chromosomes
14
PHENOTYPE oThe PHYSICAL trait =PHENOTYPE. oBlue Eyes.
15
Incomplete dominance Heterozygous expresses a different phenotype
16
Multiple alleles - Blood type 3 alleles, codominance A,B,o
17
4 blood types from 3 alleles AA or Ao= type A BB or Bo= type B AB = type AB oo = type O
18
Polygenic inheritance = many genes for one character.
19
SEX-LINKED and SEX INFLUENCED TRAITS
20
SEX CHROMOSOMES CAN CARRY OTHER GENES TOO = _________________ SEX LINKED TRAITS
21
Sex chromosomes can carry other genes Y-LINKED GENES: Genes carried on Y chromosome EX: Hairy pinna _______ genes only show up in __Y linked males.
22
Sex chromosomes can carry other genes X-LINKED GENES: Genes carried on the X chromosome EX: _____________ _____________ _________________________ Hemophilia Colorblindness Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
23
SEX INFLUENCED TRAITS Genes ___________ on sex chromosomes BUT affected by ____________ of individual with gene not carried sex hormones
24
PEDIGREE CHART Normal Male = Normal Female = Has trait =
25
CARRIER Individual with one copy of a recessive autosomal allele Carriers DON’T SHOW the trait themselves but can pass it on to their offspring NORMAL DEFECTIVE
26
CHROMOSOMES
27
DNA Nucleic acid made of nucleotide subunits A T G C Found in nucleus Carries the genetic code in its sequence
28
DNA can appear in 2 forms Spread out in nucleus as _____________ in NON-DIVIDING cells Scrunched into bundles as ________________ in DIVIDING cells CHROMATIN CHROMOSOMES
29
________ PROTEINS maintain shape of chromosome Histone
30
Cancer cells Don’t stop dividing ___________ damage DNA Ex: Radiation, cigarette smoke, chemicals in environment Carcinogens
31
CANCER
33
Chromosome structure ____________ 2 identical arms ____________ constricted area holds chromatids together __________________ PAIR 2 of each chromosome (one from mom; one from dad) CHROMATIDS CENTROMERE HOMOLOGOUS
34
CHROMOSOME NUMBERS Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes HUMANS have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs )
35
DIPLOID & HAPLOID Cells with 2 copies of each chromosome are _______________ (one from mom; one from dad) All body cells Cells with only one copy of each chromosome are ____________________ Sperm and egg 1n + 1n = 2n egg + sperm new organism DIPLOID2n HAPLOID1n
36
KARYOTYPES ________ = picture of organism’s chromosomes KARYOTYPE
37
Chromosomes that determine the sex of an organism = _________________________ All other chromosomes = _________________ Sex chromosomes autosomes Humans have two sex chromosomes X y
38
A KARYOTYPE can tell the sex of an organism In humans XY is a male
39
In humans XX is a female
40
Guess who? XY
41
You can’t judge a critter by its chromosomes This critter has 54 chromosomes
42
Corn has 10 pair of chromosomes
43
Snails have 18 pairs of chromosomes
44
A mouse has 40 chromosomes
45
Nondisjunction Chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis gametes may have too few or too many chromosomes Disorders: –Down Syndrome – three 21 st chromosomes –Turner Syndrome – single X chromosome –Klinefelter’s Syndrome – XXY chromosomes 45
46
Eric has Down’s Syndrome 1 in 750 births Has extra #21 chromosome Mental retardation
48
Down’s syndrome (trisomy 21) Simian line on palm Eye fold
49
Down’s syndrome (trisomy 21) Most common chromosomal abnormality 50% have heart defects Mental retardation Risk increases with age of mom
50
Patau syndrome (trisomy 13)
51
1 in 7000 births (rare)
52
Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) Cleft lip & palate Eyes too small or missing
53
Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) Low set ears Polydactyly
54
TURNER’s SYNDROME XO- only 1 X, no Y Short stature Immature ovaries heart problems hearing loss decreased mental ability
55
Turner Syndrome Normal uterus, tubes and ovaries and ovaries Non-functional Ovaries
56
Kleinfelter syndrome XXy
57
Kleinfelter syndrome 1 in 1000 births Male = XXy Aslight decrease in intelligence Small testes/can’t have children
58
Xyy syndrome Xyy males Taller, more aggressive
