3. 2 Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) Responsible for the Laws governing Inheritance of Traits copyright cmassengale

4. 3 Gregor Johann Mendel  Studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants  Developed the laws of inheritance  Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century copyright cmassengale

5. 4 Gregor Johann Mendel  He found that the plants' offspring retained traits of the parents  Called the “Father of Genetics" copyright cmassengale

6. 5 Site of Gregor Mendel’s experimental garden in the Czech Republic copyright cmassengale

7. 6  Mendel stated that physical traits are inherited as “particles”  Mendel did not know that the “particles” were actually Chromosomes & DNA Particulate Inheritance copyright cmassengale

8. 7 Genetic Terminology  Gene – a segment of DNA that is located in a chromosome & codes for a specific heredity trait  Trait - any characteristic that can be passed from parent to offspring  Heredity - passing of traits from parent to offspring  Genetics - study of heredity copyright cmassengale

9. 8 Types of Genetic Crosses  Cross – mating of two individuals  Gamete – male and female sex cells (egg & sperm)  Fertilization – the union of male and female gametes to form a zygote.  Monohybrid cross - cross involving a single trait e.g. flower color  Dihybrid cross - cross involving two traits e.g. flower color & plant height copyright cmassengale

12. 11 Designer “Genes”  Alleles - two forms of a gene Ex. on chromosomes that code for ht. there would be 2 alleles, short & tall)  Dominant - visible, observable trait; stronger of two genes expressed in the hybrid and masks the recessive. represented by a capital letter (R)  Recessive – hidden trait; gene that shows up less often in a cross; represented by a lowercase letter (r) copyright cmassengale

13. 12 More Terminology  Genotype - gene combination for a trait; genetic make up of an organism (e.g. RR, Rr, rr)  Phenotype - the physical feature or visible traits of an organism (e.g. red, white) (e.g. red, white) copyright cmassengale

14. 13 Genotype & Phenotype in Flowers Genotype of alleles: R = red flower r = yellow flower All genes occur in pairs, so 2 alleles affect a characteristic Possible combinations are: GenotypesRR Rrrr PhenotypesRED RED YELLOW copyright cmassengale

15. 14 Genotypes  Homozygous genotype – both alleles are identical for a specific trait; 2 dominant or 2 recessive genes; (e.g. RR or rr); also called pure (e.g. RR or rr); also called pure  Heterozygous genotype – having 2 different alleles for a given 1 dominant & 1 recessive allele (e.g. Rr); also called hybrid (e.g. Rr); also called hybrid copyright cmassengale

16. 15 Mendel’s Pea Plant Experiments copyright cmassengale

17. Mendel’s Pea Plant Experiments copyright cmassengale16 Mendel crossed 2 plants with different characters, or forms, for the same trait. Ex. 1 tall & 1 short *The plants that grew were hybrid. Hybrid – are the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits.

18. 17 Why peas, Pisum sativum?  Can be grown in a small area  Produce lots of offspring  Produce pure plants when allowed to self-pollinate several generations  Can be artificially cross-pollinated copyright cmassengale

19. 18 Mendel’s Experimental Methods Mendel hand-pollinated flowers using a paintbrush He could snip the stamens to prevent self-pollination Covered each flower with a cloth bag He traced traits through the several generations copyright cmassengale

20. 19 How Mendel Began Mendel produced pure strains by allowing the plants to self- pollinate for several generations copyright cmassengale

24. 23 Mendel’s Experimental Results copyright cmassengale

25. Experiment I Concluded: *Each trait is based on two genes, one from the mother and the other from the father *The hybrid plants looked like only 1 parent and the character of the other parent seemed to disappear. *Each trait is controlled by 1 gene. Alleles- controls the different forms of a gene. Genes- chemical factors that determine traits. Phenotype is based on Genotype copyright cmassengale24

26. 25 Mendel’s Laws copyright cmassengale

27. 26 Law of Dominance *States that some alleles are dominant & others are recessive. *Whenever a living thing inherits a dominant allele, that trait is visible. *All the offspring will be heterozygous and express only the dominant trait. RR x rr yields all Rr (round seeds) copyright cmassengale

28. 27 Law of Dominance copyright cmassengale

29. 28 Law of Segregation During the formation of gametes (eggs or sperm), the two alleles responsible for a trait separate from each other. Alleles for a trait are then "recombined" at fertilization, producing the genotype for the traits of the offspring Alleles for a trait are then "recombined" at fertilization, producing the genotype for the traits of the offspring. copyright cmassengale

30. Experiment II: Law of Segregation Mendel crossed a tall plant (dominant) with a short plant (recessive), the F1 plant inherited an allele for tallness from the tall parent & an allele for shortness from the short parent. Pg. 265 Mendel allowed his hybrid plants to self-pollinate. Some showed recessive traits, the recessive traits did not disappear. Earlier, the dominant masked the recessive, so it was not visible. Alleles for the same trait can be separated. copyright cmassengale29

31. Law of Segregation Segregation – When sex cells, or gametes, are formed. Each gamete carries only 1 copy of each gene. Therefore, each F1 plant produces 2 types of gametes (some with an allele for tallness & some with an allele for shortness). Ex. T, t, T, t = TT, Tt, Tt, tt copyright cmassengale30

32. 31 Applying the Law of Segregation copyright cmassengale

33. 32 Probability – the likelihood that a particular event will occur. Ex. Flipping a coin. The probability that it will land on tails is ½.

34. 33 Law of Independent Assortment Alleles for different traits are distributed to sex cells (& offspring) independently of one another. This helps account for genetic variations. This law can be illustrated using dihybrid crosses. Ex Pea shape & pea color copyright cmassengale

35. 34 Generation “Gap” Parental P 1 Generation = the parental generation in a breeding experiment. F 1 generation = the first-generation offspring in a breeding experiment. (1st filial generation) From breeding individuals from the P 1 generation F 2 generation = the second-generation offspring in a breeding experiment.

59. 58 Incomplete Dominance and Codominance copyright cmassengale

60. Different Patterns of Dominant & Recessive copyright cmassengale59 Incomplete Dominance – 1 allele is not completely dominant over another. Ex. Red flower (RR) & white flower (WW), F1 is a pink flower (RW). Pg. 272 Codominance – both alleles contribute to the phenotype. Ex. A cross of a black chicken (BB) with a white chicken (WW) will produce all speckled offspring (BBWW); colors appear separately.

61. Different Patterns of Dominant & Recessive Multiple Alleles – have more than 2 alleles. Ex. Coat color in rabbits. Polygenic Traits – traits controlled by 2 or more genes; “ having many genes ”. Ex. Variation in human skin color. copyright cmassengale60

62. 61 Incomplete Dominance F1 hybrids in betweenphenotypes F1 hybrids have an appearance somewhat in between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties. Example:snapdragons (flower) Example: snapdragons (flower) red (RR) x white (rr) RR = red flower rr = white flower R R rr copyright cmassengale

63. 62 Incomplete Dominance RrRrRrRr R Rr All Rr = pink (heterozygous pink) produces the F 1 generation r copyright cmassengale

64. 63 Incomplete Dominance copyright cmassengale

65. 64 Codominance Two alleles are expressed (multiple alleles) in heterozygous individuals. Example: blood type 1.type A= I A I A or I A i 2.type B= I B I B or I B i 3.type AB= I A I B 4.type O= ii copyright cmassengale

69. 68 Codominance Answer: IAIBIAIB ii Parents: genotypes genotypes = I A i and I B i phenotypes phenotypes = A and B IBIB IAIA i i copyright cmassengale

70. 69 Sex-linked Traits Traits (genes) located on the sex chromosomes Sex chromosomes are X and Y XX genotype for females XY genotype for males Many sex-linked traits carried on X chromosome copyright cmassengale

71. 70 Sex-linked Traits Sex Chromosomes XX chromosome - femaleXy chromosome - male fruit fly eye color Example: Eye color in fruit flies copyright cmassengale

72. 71 Sex-linked Trait Problem Example: Eye color in fruit flies (red-eyed male) x (white-eyed female) X R Y x X r X r Remember: the Y chromosome in males does not carry traits. RR = red eyed Rr = red eyed rr = white eyed XY = male XX = female XRXR XrXr XrXr Y copyright cmassengale
