1
Do Now Take 5-10 minutes to complete some last-minute problems from the set.
2
Review of Important Terms Diploid / haploid Homozygous / heterozygous Genotype / phenotype Meiosis (cell division that makes haploid gametes) Types of inheritance: –Complete dominance –Incomplete dominance –Codominance –Sex-linkage –Multiple alleles
3
Pedigrees
4
Tracing Albinism CDE G AB Albinism: recessive trait (aa) Parents A & B do not have albinism, yet they produced child E that does. What does that tell us about the genotype of the parents? Parents C & D do not have albinism, yet they produced child that does. What does that tell us about their genotypes?
5
Your turn - Dwarfism CDEF G AB Hint: Look at E, F, and their offspring to determine what’s going on here!
6
Pedigrees and X-linked traits DO Now: Pattern baldness (example = Mr. T) is caused by a recessive allele carried on the X chromosome (X o = baldness, X + = normal) Construct a Punnett square that shows a cross between an unaffected man and a woman who is a carrier. Question: should a man with pattern baldness blame his father, mother, or both?
7
Something’s a Little different here
8
Make a pedigree! (Classwork) Jack and Jill are not colorblind. They have 4 daughters, April, May, June, and August. None of their daughters is colorblind. April marries Larry (who is not colorblind), and they have 3 sons, Larry jr., Mo, and Curly. Mo and Curly are colorblind. May does not have any children June marries Shemp, and they have 2 daughters and a son, all three of which are colorblind. August marries Daffy (who is colorblind), and they have 1 daughter, who is also colorblind.
9
Questions 1. Which of Jack and Jill’s daughters (April, May, June, and August) are DEFINITLY carriers for colorblindness? 2. Is Shemp colorblind? How can you be sure?
10
Analyze a Pedigree – how is hemophilia inherited?
11
Pedigree Practice For each pedigree, write in the genotypes of the numbered individuals. It’s like a logic puzzle – so have fun! Due tomorrow.
12
Quiz tomorrow Quiz tomorrow: classical genetics –Basic vocabulary (slide 2) –Genetic Crosses –Pedigree
