2. Chapter 10: Genetics Mendel’s Contributions

3. There are at least 250,000 beetle species with a variety of different characteristics

4. Over 400 breeds of dog are recognized around the world, each unique for its personality, habits, and form.

5. Humans also have multiple characteristics that can vary from person to person

6. Even plants have a wide array of unique qualities

7. How do we understand why each individual living thing looks and acts the way it does?

8. Gregor Mendel o The Father of Genetics o First person to complete successful work on the study of heredity. (1800’s) o He was able to predict how characteristics are transferred from one generation to the next. #1

9. Heredity: The passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring #2 Genetics: The branch of biology that studies Heredity

10. Traits: Characteristics that are inherited from generation to generation #3

11. In order to understand the basic mechanisms of heredity, Mendel needed to do experiments He used Pea Plants as his test subjects #4

12. Why Peas? 1.Reproduce sexually o When the pollen from the male part of the flower comes in contact with the female part Fertilization occurs. 2. Both male and female parts are in the same flower o Pea flowers can self- pollinate o Sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cell in the same flower.

13. 3. Because they self pollinate, pea plants give all of their traits to their offspring 4. If he wanted two different plants to create offspring, Mendel could cross- pollinate them. Why Peas?

14. Mendel’s Experiments o Mendel noticed that certain pea plants produced the exact same form of a trait generation after generation. Self pollinating parent (First Generation) Self pollinating offspring (Second Generation) Plants that produce the exact same form of a trait generation after generation are called True- Breeding #5 (Third Generation)

15. o He was curious to see what would happen when he cross- pollinated two true breeding plants that had two different forms of a single trait #6- #7 o The offspring of true breeding parents that have different forms of a trait are known as hybrids

16. The two pea plants being cross pollinated are called the P1- generation (Parental) The offspring of the P1- generation are called the F1 generation (First Filial) #8 When looking at the F1 generation, Mendel noticed something strange happening to the hybrid offspring of the two true breeding parents.

17. o Mendel noticed that one of the traits was not showing up in the offspring. o It was as if one of the traits never existed at all! #9

18. Mendel was curious as to why this happened so he allowed the F1 generation to self pollinate. P1 Cross Pollinate F1 ? ? F2 Self Pollinate

19. #10 o Each F1 plant that self pollinated produced offspring that had both purple and white flowers. o The trait that disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared as if from nowhere. P1 Cross Pollinate F1 F2 Self Pollinate ¾ Purple ¼ White

20. 1.What does pure breeding mean? 2. The offspring of two pure breeding organisms is called a. 3.When Mendel cross-pollinated a pure bred, yellow pea plant with a pure bred, green pea plant, what did the F1 generation look like? 4. What did the F2 generation look like? Bell Ringer Wed. 3/21 1 st, 3 rd, and 5 th Period

22. Mendel’s Conclusions

23. 1.Each organism has two factors that control each of its traits o These factors are genes and are located on chromosomes #11-#12

24. o Genes exist in different forms known as alleles o For example, in each pea plant, there are two alleles that determine what color the flower will be. An organisms two alleles are located on different copies of a chromosome- one from mom and one from dad #13- #14

25. 2. There are some alleles that are dominant and some that are recessive o Mendel realized this when all of the F1 generation showed only one of the two possible traits. o He called the observed trait Dominant o He called the trait that disappeared Recessive #15- #17

26. Mendel concluded that the allele for purple flowers was dominant to the allele for white flowers. o An organism with a dominant allele for a trait will always express the dominant characteristic. o An organism with a recessive allele for a trait will exhibit the recessive characteristic only when the dominant allele for that trait is not present. x #18- #19 x

27. o Dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter o Recessive alleles are represented by the corresponding lower case letter #20- #23 x Purple FF Purple FF Purple FF Purple FF Purple FF Purple FF x White ff White ff White ff White ff White ff White ff F= Purple Color f= White Color

28. Possible Allele Combinations 1. Two Dominant Alleles (FF) 2. Two Recessive Alleles (ff) 3. One Dominant allele and one Recessive allele (Ff)

29. Purple FF White ff Pure- breeding P generation Hybrid F1 generation Purple Ff Purple Ff Purple Ff Purple Ff x #24 3. Every individual has two alleles for each gene. One is received from the female and one is received from the male.

30. o When the F1 generation self pollinates, both the male and female gametes have to contribute one allele to the offspring. P1 Cross Pollinate F1 F2 Self Pollinate ¾ Purple ¼ White Purple FF White ff Purple Ff Purple Ff o When fertilization occurs, the male and female gametes randomly pair up.

31. Quick Review Before We Move On 1.What is the difference between a dominant and recessive trait? 2.Where do organisms get their 2 alleles from? 3.What are the three potential allele combinations that an organism can have? 4.If an organism had the alleles Aa, would it show the dominant or recessive trait? WHY?

32. 1. What is the difference between a dominant and recessive trait? o If an allele for a dominant trait is present, the dominant trait will be seen in the organism. o If an organism has 2 recessive alleles then the organism will show the recessive trait; however, if the organism has one dominant allele, the recessive trait will be hidden and the dominant trait will be seen. x x

33. 2. Where do organisms get their 2 alleles from? An organisms two alleles are located on different copies of a chromosome- one from mom and one from dad

34. 3. What are the three potential allele combinations that an organism can have? 1. Two Dominant Alleles (FF) 2. Two Recessive Alleles (ff) 3. One Dominant allele and one Recessive allele (Ff)

35. 4. If an organism had the alleles Aa, would it show the dominant or recessive trait? WHY? Purple FF White ff Pure- breeding P generation Hybrid F1 generation Purple Ff Purple Ff Purple Ff Purple Ff x
