4 Independent Assortment
What is the principle of independent assortment? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

5 Independent Assortment
To determine if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects the segregation of another pair of alleles, Mendel performed a two-factor cross. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

6 Independent Assortment
The Two-Factor Cross: F1   Mendel crossed true-breeding plants that produced round yellow peas (genotype RRYY) with true-breeding plants that produced wrinkled green peas (genotype rryy). All of the F1 offspring produced round yellow peas (RrYy). Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

7 Independent Assortment
The alleles for round (R) and yellow (Y) are dominant over the alleles for wrinkled (r) and green (y). When Mendel crossed plants that were heterozygous dominant for round yellow peas, he found that the alleles segregated independently to produce the F2 generation. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

8 Independent Assortment
The Two-Factor Cross: F2  Mendel crossed the heterozygous F1 plants (RrYy) with each other to determine if the alleles would segregate from each other in the F2 generation. RrYy × RrYy Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

9 Independent Assortment
The Punnett square predicts a 9 : 3 : 3 :1 ratio in the F2 generation. When Mendel crossed plants that were heterozygous dominant for round yellow peas, he found that the alleles segregated independently to produce the F2 generation. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

10 Independent Assortment
In Mendel’s experiment, the F2 generation produced the following: some seeds that were round and yellow some seeds that were wrinkled and green some seeds that were round and green some seeds that were wrinkled and yellow Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

11 Independent Assortment
The alleles for seed shape segregated independently of those for seed color. This principle is known as independent assortment. Genes that segregate independently do not influence each other's inheritance. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

12 Independent Assortment
Mendel's experimental results were very close to the 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio predicted by the Punnett square. Mendel had discovered the principle of independent assortment. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

13 Independent Assortment
The principle of independent assortment states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. Independent assortment helps account for the many genetic variations observed in plants, animals, and other organisms. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

14 A Summary of Mendel's Principles
Genes are passed from parents to their offspring. If two or more forms (alleles) of the gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant and others may be recessive. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

15 A Summary of Mendel's Principles
In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene. These genes are segregated from each other when gametes are formed. The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

16 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
What inheritance patterns exist aside from simple dominance? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

17 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, and many traits are controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

18 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Incomplete Dominance  When one allele is not completely dominant over another it is called incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is between the two homozygous phenotypes. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

19 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
RR A cross between red (RR) and white (WW) four o’clock plants produces pink-colored flowers (RW). WW Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive. In four o’clock plants, for example, the alleles for red and white flowers show incomplete dominance. Heterozygous (RW) plants have pink flowers—a mix of red and white coloring. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

20 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Codominance  In codominance, both alleles contribute to the phenotype. In certain varieties of chicken, the allele for black feathers is codominant with the allele for white feathers. Heterozygous chickens are speckled with both black and white feathers. The black and white colors do not blend to form a new color, but appear separately. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

21 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Multiple Alleles  Genes that are controlled by more than two alleles are said to have multiple alleles. An individual can’t have more than two alleles. However, more than two possible alleles can exist in a population. A rabbit's coat color is determined by a single gene that has at least four different alleles. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

22 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Different combinations of alleles result in the colors shown here. KEY C = full color; dominant to all other alleles cch = chinchilla; partial defect in pigmentation; dominant to ch and c alleles ch = Himalayan; color in certain parts of the body; dominant to c allele c = albino; no color; recessive to all other alleles Coat color in rabbits is determined by a single gene that has at least four different alleles. Different combinations of alleles result in the four colors you see here. photo credits: 1. ©John Gerlach/Visuals Unlimited 2.Animals Animals/©Richard Kolar 3. ©Jane Burton/Bruce Coleman, Inc. 4. ©Hans Reinhard/Bruce Coleman, Inc.

23 Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Polygenic Traits   Traits controlled by two or more genes are said to be polygenic traits. Skin color in humans is a polygenic trait controlled by more than four different genes. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

24 Applying Mendel's Principles
Thomas Hunt Morgan used fruit flies to advance the study of genetics. Morgan and others tested Mendel’s principles and learned that they applied to other organisms as well as plants. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

25 Applying Mendel's Principles
Mendel’s principles can be used to study inheritance of human traits and to calculate the probability of certain traits appearing in the next generation. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

26 Genetics and the Environment
Characteristics of any organism are determined by the interaction between genes and the environment. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

11–3 In a cross involving two pea plant traits, observation of a 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio in the F2 generation is evidence for the two traits being inherited together. an outcome that depends on the sex of the parent plants. the two traits being inherited independently of each other. multiple genes being responsible for each trait. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

11–3 Traits controlled by two or more genes are called multiple-allele traits. polygenic traits. codominant traits. hybrid traits. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

11–3 In four o'clock flowers, the alleles for red flowers and white flowers show incomplete dominance. Heterozygous four o'clock plants have pink flowers. white flowers. half white flowers and half red flowers. red flowers. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

11–3 A white male horse and a tan female horse produce an offspring that has large areas of white coat and large areas of tan coat. This is an example of incomplete dominance. multiple alleles. codominance. a polygenic trait. Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
