Daily Objective:
Open your book to page 307 and read through the chapter mystery.
By the end of today I should be able to…
Explain the difference between a gene and a trait
Do the best you can to give an answer to Susan’s questions:
Identify homologous chromosomes
Why aren’t any of the chicks green?
What happened to the green color of the bird’s parents?

3. Gregor Mendel Who: An Austrian monk in the 1800s
Why he’s important: He developed an explanation for the mechanism of evolution

4. What Mendel did… F2
Generation P
Parental F1
Generation

5. Mendel’s Conclusions
Inheritance is determined by factors that are passed from one generation to the next, genes.
The principle of dominance states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.

6. REVIEW

Genes

7. Traits: A specific characteristic
Mendel used the following characteristics in his pea plant studies
Seed shape: round or wrinkled
Seed color: yellow or green
Pod shape: smooth or constricted
Pod color: yellow or green
Flower position: axial or terminal
Plant height: tall or short

Daily Objective: BTEOTISBAT…
Describe how dominant and recessive traits interact
Describe the genotype and phenotype of an individual
Entrance Activity:
Grab a vocab flipper from the first counter fold it in half with the words on the outside. Use your book to fill in the first 3 words please…

9. Genes and Alleles Gene = unit of heredity (flower color)
Alleles = different forms of the same gene.
Example: the gene for flower color may be a red allele (R) or a white allele (r)

10. Genetic Traits Types of allele:
Dominant = allele that hides another allele. As long as there is one dominant allele, it will be expressed (show up) in an organism.
Recessive = allele that is hidden. It can be masked by a dominant allele. It will show up if no dominant allele is present

11. Chromosomes
Humans have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes

12. Homologous pairs…
Two chromosomes with the same genes but can have different forms…
Example the first
Pair has your eye color
Gene on it, the left
Comes from your mom
The right comes from
Your dad…

13. Now Mendel created hybrid plants who expressed the traits of only one parent. One plant’s Allele for a trait had been dominant, while the other parent plant’s had been recessive. So what happens to the recessive alleles for a trait?

14. How did this separation, or segregation, of alleles occur?
Mendel suggested that the alleles for tallness and shortness in the F1 plants must have segregated from each other during the formation of the sex cells, or gametes.

15. Mendel’s Laws
LAW OF SEGREGATION = one allele from each gene pair goes into each sex cell.

17. YOU MUST KNOW THIS PART
Homozygous: the homologous pair is made of 2 of the same type of alleles
Heterozygous: the homologous pair is made of 2 of different type of alleles

18. Phenotype = what they look like Genotype = what alleles they have
Ex. Tt Phenotype = Tall
Genotype = Tt
*Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, and many traits are controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes

19. GENOTYPE
In Mendel’s experiments, there were two alleles for each trait, one from each parent. Height could either be short or tall
Lets use “T” to represent tall alleles and “t” to represent short alleles
Homozygous – an organisms has two identical alleles, like “TT.” Both parents gave a tall allele (Dominant or recessive)
This can also be called a Purebred
Heterozygous – an organisms has two different alleles, like “Tt.” Parents gave different forms of the height gene
This can also be called a Hybrid

Probability is the likelihood that something will occur. Probability is used in genetics to predict the outcome of genetic crosses
Flip a coin…What is the probability that you will get heads?
What is the probability that you will get heads 3 times in a row?

24. PunnetT Squares
Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses…

40. Multiple Alleles
Keep in mind, an individual can only have two alleles for a particular gene
BUT more than two possible alleles can exist within a population

Look at figure on page 273

41. Polygenic traits
Traits that are controlled by two or more genes are called polygenic traits
Eye Color
Skin Color

42. Independent assortment
Pg. 271
Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes (sex cells)
Example: The seed shape and seed color genes do not influence each other’s inheritance.

Meiosis
# Divisions: # Daughter Cells Produced: # Chromosome Sets: Location: Importance: Type of Reproduction:
# Divisions: 1 # Daughter Cells Produced: 2 (identical) # Chromosome Sets: 2 (2N) – 1 from mom, 1 from dad Location: Body Cells (liver, muscle…) Importance: Produces identical cells for growth and repair Type of Reproduction: Asexual

61. Meiosis I:
DNA replicates and Homologous chromosomes group to form tetrads. F f
Meiosis h h
Tetrad F f h h

62. f F But Ms. McClellan… Why should I care about crossing over?
Crossing over: As homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads, they can exchange portions of their chromatids . f F
But Ms. McClellan… Why should I care about crossing over?
Because crossing over creates new allele combinations and allows for different types of offspring to be created

63. Homologous chromosomes separate and two new cells are formed

Each daughter cell has ONE Allele of each gene instead of two… that is what makes them sex cells
