Lesson 9.1: Genes & Alleles Learning Objectives
I can define what a gene is, and explain that there can be more than one allele for each gene. I can explain the difference between genotype and phenotype.

Genetics © Amy Brown Science

Genetics is… ….the science that studies how genes are transmitted from one generation to the next.

Genetics The study of heredity, how traits are passed from parent to offspring
or x = or

Genes & Traits Chromosome: A long chain of genes.
Genes = carries information that determines your traits. Traits are the characteristics that you inherit from your parents Genes are sections of DNA located on chromosomes Chromosome: A long chain of genes.

Alleles Alleles = different versions of the same gene (ex: blue eyes & brown eyes) Organisms have two genes (alleles) for each trait. One gene (allele) from mother (egg). One gene (allele) from father (sperm). Alleles can be dominant or recessive

Lesson 9.1: Genes & Alleles Learning Objectives
I can define what a gene is, and explain that there can be more than one allele for each gene. I can explain the difference between genotype and phenotype.

Genotype vs. Phenotype Phenotype = an organism’s physical traits.
the physical appearance of a trait in an organism what you see; visible traits Determined by looking at organism Example: tall, short, brown eyes

Genotype vs. Phenotype Genotype = an organisms genetic makeup
the genes of an organism for one specific trait what’s in your DNA Example: Tt, TT, tt

Lesson 9.2: Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles Learning Objectives
I can explain the difference between dominant and recessive alleles. I can determine the phenotype of an organisms based on a heterozygous or homozygous genotype.

Dominant gene (allele)
Stronger of two alleles for a gene prevents the other allele from “showing” Represented with capital letters Written first Example: B for black fur

Recessive gene (allele)
Weaker of two alleles for a gene Can be hidden by dominant genes. does NOT “show” if a dominant allele is also present Represented with lower case letters Example: b for white fur

(Always use the same letter for the same alleles—
Example: Straight thumb is dominant to hitchhiker thumb T = straight thumb t = hitchhikers thumb (Always use the same letter for the same alleles— No S = straight, h = hitchhiker’s) Straight thumb = TT Straight thumb = Tt Hitchhikers thumb = tt * Must have 2 recessive alleles for a recessive trait to “show”

Lesson 9.2: Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles Learning Objectives
I can explain the difference between dominant and recessive alleles. I can determine the phenotype of an organisms based on a heterozygous or homozygous genotype.

Homozygous (Pure) Organism has two of the same genes (alleles) for a trait Example: BB – homozygous dominant bb – homozygous recessive

Heterozygous (Hybrid; Mixed)
Organism has two different alleles for a trait Example: Bb – heterozygous (one dominant, one recessive)

Genotype or Phenotype? Tt Round Black BB Smooth rr Tall

Lesson 9.3: Punnett Squares Learning Objective
I can create Punnett squares to predict the genotypes from a monohybrid cross.

Punnett Square and Probability
Used to predict the possible gene makeup of offspring – Punnett Square Example: Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in mice Cross a heterozygous male with a homozygous recessive female. Black fur (B) White fur (b) Heterozygous male Homozygous recessive female White fur (b) White fur (b)

Before we go further lets learn how to set up a Punnett Square…
We begin by constructing a grid of two perpendicular lines.

Next, put the genotype of one parent across the top and the other along the left side.
For this example lets consider a genotype of BB crossed with bb. B B Notice only one letter goes above each box It does not matter which parent’s genotype goes on either side. b

Next, fill in the boxes by copying the column and row head-letters down and across into the empty spaces. B B b B b B b b B b B b

Punnett Squares Now that we have learned the basics of genetics lets walk through some examples using Punnett Squares.

W w W W W W w w W w w w Parents in this cross are heterozygous (Ww).
Usually write the capital letter first W W W W w Lets say: W- dominant widow’s peak w- recessive no widow’s peak w W w w w Parents in this cross are heterozygous (Ww). Note: Make sure I can tell your capital letters from lowercase letters. What percentage of the offspring will not have a widow’s peak? ANSWER: 25% (homozygous recessive)

Red hair (R) is dominant over blond hair (r)
Red hair (R) is dominant over blond hair (r). Make a cross between a heterozygous red head and a blond. R r r Rr rr What percentage of the offspring will have red hair? 50%

T t Tt tt t Let’s try some more…
In pea plants, tall pea plants (T) are dominant over short pea plants (t). Construct a Punnett Square for a heterozygous tall pea plant and a short pea plant. T t What are the percentage of phenotypes? Tt tt t 50% tall 50% short

Polygenic inheritance
In polygenic inheritance, the determination of a given characteristic is the result of: the interaction of many genes. Some traits, such as __________________________________________ are not determined by one pair of alleles. These traits are the cumulative result of the combined effects of ___________. This is known as __________________. size, height, shape, weight, color, metabolic rate, and behavior many genes polygenic inheritance

Examples: hair color eye color weight height skin color
A trait affected by a number of genes - or polygenes - does not show a clear difference between groups of individuals. Instead, it shows a: graduation of small differences Many normal human traits are thought to be polygenic. Examples: hair color eye color weight height skin color

Lesson 9.4: Sex-Linked Traits Leaning Objectives
I can explain what a sex-linked trait is and describe the inheritance patterns for sex-linked traits using Punnett squares.

Sex Determination Humans – 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs
22 pairs are homologous (look alike) – called autosomes – determine body traits 1 pair is the sex chromosomes – determines sex (male or female) Females – sex chromosomes are homologous (look alike) – label XX Males – sex chromosomes are different – label XY

What is the probability of a couple having a boy? Or a girl?
Chance of having female baby? 50% male baby? 50% X X XX XY X Y Who determines the sex of the child? father

Sex – linked Traits Genes for these traits are located only on the X chromosome (NOT on the Y chromosome) X linked alleles always show up in males whether dominant or recessive because males have only one X chromosome

Sex-linked Traits Males get only one allele for a sex-linked trait carried on the X chromosome (nothing on Y) Females have a second X chromosome that carries another allele that can hide recessive trait Therefore Males show recessive traits more than females

Mendelian Genetics 9/21/2018 Sex-linked Traits Example: Colorblindness Sex Chromosomes XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male Color-blindness gene copyright cmassengale

Examples of recessive sex-linked disorders:
colorblindness – inability to distinguish between certain colors You should see 58 (upper left), 18 (upper right), E (lower left) and 17 (lower right). Color blindness is the inability to distinguish the differences between certain colors. The most common type is red-green color blindness, where red and green are seen as the same color.

2. hemophilia – blood won’t clot

Working Sex-linked problems
The genotypes for colorblindness would be written as follows: XCXC = XCXc = XcXc = XCY = XcY = The genotypes for hemophilia would be written as follows: XHXH = XHXh = XhXh = XHY = XhY = normal vision female normal blood clotting female normal vision female, but a carrier of the colorblind allele normal clotting female, but a carrier of hemophilia Colorblind female hemophiliac female normal vision male normal blood clotting male Hemophiliac male Colorblind male

XN Xn XNXN XNXn XNY XnY XN Y
Example: A female that has normal vision but is a carrier for colorblindness marries a male with normal vision. Give the expected phenotypes of their children. N = normal vision n = colorblindness XN Xn x XN Y XN Xn XNXN XNXn XNY XnY XN Y Phenotype: 2 normal vision females 1 normal vision male 1 colorblind male

The gene for colorblindness is carried on the X chromosome and is recessive. A man, whose father was colorblind, has a colorblind daughter. Is this man colorblind? How do you know? Yes. The colorblind daughter had to get one of her genes for colorblindness from her father. Where did the man get his gene for colorblindness? A man gets his gene for colorblindness from his mother. He gets his Y chromosome from his father. Must the fathers of all colorblind girls be colorblind? Explain. Yes. For a girl to be colorblind, she must inherit the colorblind gene from each parent.

XH Xh XH Y XHXH XHY XHXh XhY 1/4 XHXH 1/4 XHXh 1/4 XHY 1/4 XhY
Practice Problem: A normal woman, whose father had hemophilia, married a normal man. What is the chance of hemophilia in their children? What is the genotype of the woman’s father? What is the genotype of the woman? What is the genotype of the man? XhY XHXh XHY XH Xh XH Y XHXH XHXh 1/4 XHXH 1/4 XHXh 1/4 XHY 1/4 XhY 2/4 Normal female 1/4 Normal male 1/4 Hemophiliac male XHY XhY

Sex-linked Traits in Females
Females who have recessive alleles but show the dominant trait are called carriers A woman can have normal vision but carry the recessive allele for colorblindness

Sex-linked Trait Problem
Mendelian Genetics Sex-linked Trait Problem 9/21/2018 Example: Eye color in fruit flies (red-eyed male) x (white-eyed female) XRY x XrXr Remember: the Y chromosome in males does not carry traits. RR = red eyed Rr = red eyed rr = white eyed XY = male XX = female XR Xr Y copyright cmassengale

Sex-linked Trait Solution:
Mendelian Genetics 9/21/2018 Sex-linked Trait Solution: XR Xr Y 50% red eyed female 50% white eyed male XR Xr Xr Y copyright cmassengale

Lesson 9.5: Pedigrees Leaning Objective
I can draw pedigree charts illustrating the inheritance patterns of traits in a family.

Pedigrees Graphic representation of how a trait is passed from parents to offspring Tips for making a pedigree Circles are for females Squares are for males Horizontal lines connecting a male and a female represent a marriage Vertical line and brackets connect parent to offspring A shaded circle or square indicates a person has the trait A circle or square NOT shaded represents an individual who does NOT have the trait Partial shade indicates a carrier – someone who is heterozygous for the trait

Pedigrees illustrate inheritance
Male Parents Pedigrees illustrate inheritance Female Siblings Affected male Known heterozygotes for recessive allele Affected female Mating Death

Can pass trait to offspring
Example: Make a pedigree chart for the following couple. Dana is color blind; her husband Jeff is not. They have two boys and two girls. HINT: Colorblindness is a recessive sex-linked trait. XnXn XNY Has trait Can pass trait to offspring

Genealogy Tables (Pedigree Charts)
A. A pedigree chart shows relationships within a family. B. Squares represent males and circles represent females. C. A shaded circle or square indicates that a person has the trait. The following table shows three generations of guinea pigs. In guinea pigs, rough coat (R) is dominant over smooth coat (r). Shaded individual have smooth coat. What is the genotype of each individual on the table below? rr RR (probably) Rr Rr Rr Rr Rr Rr Rr rr Rr / RR There is no way to know! Rr / RR There is no way to know! rr rr

XCXc XcY XCXc XCY XCXc XCXc XCXC XCXc XcY XcY XCXc XCXC XCY XcXc XCY
The following pedigree table is for colorblindness. This is a sex-linked trait. Shaded individual have colorblindness. Determine the genotype of each of the following family members. XCXc XcY XCXc XCY XCXc XCXc XCXC XCXc XcY XcY XCXc XCXC XCY XcXc XCY XCXc

Pedigrees

Mutations Mutation – sudden genetic change (change in base pair sequence of DNA) Can be : Harmful mutations – organism less able to survive: genetic disorders, cancer, death Beneficial mutations – allows organism to better survive: provides genetic variation Neutral mutations – neither harmful nor helpful to organism Mutations can occur in 2 ways: chromosomal mutation or gene/point mutation

Chromosomal mutation:
less common than a gene mutation more drastic – affects entire chromosome, so affects many genes rather than just one caused by failure of the homologous chromosomes to separate normally during meiosis chromosome pairs no longer look the same – too few or too many genes, different shape

Examples: Down’s syndrome – (Trisomy 21) 47 chromosomes, extra chromosome at pair #21

Turner’s syndrome – only 45 chromosomes, missing a sex chromosome (X)
Girls affected – short, slow growth, heart problems

Klinefelter’s syndrome – 47 chromosomes, extra X chromosomes (XXY)
Boys affected – low testosterone levels, underdeveloped muscles, sparse facial hair

Having an extra set of chromosomes is fatal in animals, but in plants it makes them larger and hardier. Hardier
