6
Fruit Fly
7
Life Cycle u Egg u Larva u Pupa u Adult
8
Reasons
9
Fruit Fly Chromosomes
10
Genetic Symbols
11
Examples u Recessive mutation: u w = white eyes u w+ = red eyes u Dominant Mutation u Cy = Curly wings u Cy+ = Normal wings
12
Morgan Observed:
13
Morgan crossed
14
The F1 offspring: u All had red eyes. u This suggests that white eyes is a genetic _________?
15
F1 X F1 = F2
16
Morgan discovered:
17
Fruit Fly Chromosomes
19
Morgan Discovered
20
Linked Genes
21
Body Color and Wing type
22
Example b+b vg+vg X bb vgvg (b+ linked to vg+) (b linked to vg) If unlinked: 1:1:1:1 ratio. If linked: ratio will be altered.
26
Crossing-Over
27
If Genes are Linked:
28
Linkage Strength
29
Genetic Maps
30
u Comment - only good for genes that are within 50 map units of each other. Why?
31
Genetic Maps
33
Sex Linkage in Biology
35
Chromosomal Basis of Sex in Humans
36
Human Chromosome Sex
39
SRY
40
Sex Linkage
41
Males
42
X-linked Disorders
43
Samples of X-linked patterns:
44
X-linked Patterns
45
Comment u Watch how questions with sex linkage are phrased: u Chance of children? u Chance of males?
46
Can Females be color-blind?
47
Y-linkage
48
Sex Limited Traits
49
Sex Influenced Traits
50
Baldness
51
Barr Body
52
Lyon Hypothesis
53
Examples
54
Calico Cats u X B = black fur u X O = orange fur u Calico is heterozygous, X B X O.
56
Question? u Why don’t you find many calico males?
57
Chromosomal Alterations
58
Number Alterations
59
Aneuploidy
61
Comment
62
Types of Aneuoploidy
63
Turner Syndrome
64
Characteristics
65
Question u Why are Turner Individuals usually sterile
66
Other Sex Chromosome changes
67
Kleinfelter Syndrome
69
George Washington u May have been a Kleinfelter Syndrome individual. u Much taller than average. u Produced no children.
70
Meta female
71
Super male
73
Trisomy events
75
Question? u Why is trisomy more common than monosomy?
76
Question? u Why is trisomy 21 more common in older mothers?
77
Polyploid
78
Question? u In plants, even # polyploids are often fertile, why odd # polyploids are sterile. Why?
79
Structure Alterations
80
Result
82
Translocations
83
Cri Du Chat Syndrome
84
Philadelphia Chromosome
85
Parental Imprinting of Genes
86
Example:
87
Cause:
91
Result
92
Why have parental imprinting? u Method to detect that TWO different sets of chromosomes are in the zygote.
93
Experiment u Can fuse nuclei into mouse eggs. u If male/male = normal placenta, abnormal fetus u If female/female = abnormal placenta, normal fetus u If male/female = normal placenta and normal fetus
94
Extranuclear Inheritance
95
Result
96
Mitochondria
97
Chloroplasts
98
Variegated Examples
99
Variegation in African Violets
100
Comment u Cells can have a mixture of normal and abnormal organelles. u Result - degree of expression of the maternal inherited trait can vary widely.
101
Summary u Know about linkage and crossing-over. u Sex chromosomes and their pattern of inheritance. u Variations of chromosomes and inheritance patterns.
102
Summary u Be able to work genetics problems for this chapter.
