- 1. GENETICS • Introduction toGenetics and heredity • Gregor Mendel – a brief bio • Genetic terminology (glossary) • Monohybrid crosses • Patterns of inheritance • Dihybrid crosses • Test cross • Beyond Mendelian Genetics – incomplete dominance
- 2. Introduction to Genetics • GENETICS– a branch of biology that deals with heredity and variation of organisms. • Chromosomes carry the hereditary information (genes) • Arrangement of nucleotides in DNA • DNA RNA Proteins
- 3. Genetics terms youneed to know: • Gene – a unit of heredity; a section of DNA sequence encoding a single protein • Genome – the entire set of genes in an organism • Alleles – two genes that occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes and that cover the same trait (like ‘flavors’ of a trait). • Locus – a fixed location on a strand of DNA where a gene or one of its alleles is located.
- 4. • Homozygous –having identical genes (one from each parent) for a particular characteristic. • Heterozygous – having two different genes for a particular characteristic. • Dominant – the allele of a gene that masks or suppresses the expression of an alternate allele; the trait appears in the heterozygous condition. • Recessive – an allele masked by a dominant allele; does not appear in the heterozygous condition, only in homozygous.
- 5. • Genotype –the genetic makeup of an organisms • Phenotype – the physical appearance of an organism (Genotype + environment) • Monohybrid cross: a genetic cross involving a single pair of genes (one trait); parents differ by one trait. • P = Parental generation • F1 = First filial generation; offspring from a genetic cross.
- 7. Chromosomes (and genes)occur in pairs Homologous Chromosomes New combinations of genes occur in sexual reproduction Fertilization from two parents
- 8. Gregor Johann Mendel •Austrian Monk, born in what is now the Czech Republic in 1822 • A Teacher, studied Theology was ordained priest Order St. Augustine. • Went to the University of Vienna, where he studied botany and learned the Scientific Method • Worked with pure lines of peas for eight years • Before Mendel, heredity was regarded as a "blending" process and the offspring were essentially a "dilution“ of the different parental characteristics.
- 9. Mendel’s peas Mendel lookedat seven traits or characteristics of pea plants:
- 10. Why Peas? • Easyto grow. • Easily identifiable traits • Trait – a specific characteristic • Can work with large numbers of samples
- 11. Mendel’s experiments The firstthing Mendel did was create a “pure” plant or true-breeding plant. True breeding – If the parent repeatedly only produce offspring with the same trait • For example A plant true- breeding for purple flowers will always produce offspring with purple flowers.
- 12. Mendel’s experiments What happens ifyou cross two plants that are true-breeding for contrasting traits??? purple flowers x white flowers wrinkled seeds x smooth seeds tall plants x short plants etc, etc, etc,
- 13. Mendel’s experiments He always foundthe same pattern He discovered that even though one of the parent plants had white flowers, ALLof the offspring had purple flowers! True-breeding parents Hybrid s
- 14. Mendel’s experiments • Mendelrepeated this experiment with other traits, in every case, one trait “won out” • For example, The purple flower color “won out” over the white flower color. Smooth seed texture “won out” over wrinkled seed texture.
- 15. Mendel’s experiments • Mendelcalled the trait that “won out” in the offspring dominant (purple flowers) . • He called the trait that disappeared in the offspring recessive (white flowers) .
- 16. Mendel’s experiments • Whatwould happen when Mendel let the offspring self- pollinate? Was the next generation true-breeding for the dominant trait? Would Mendel continue to see only purple flowers?
- 17.
- 18. From his experiments,Mendel concluded two things 1. Inheritance is determined by factors passed on from one generation to another. • Today these “factors” are called genes, but Mendel knew nothing about chromosomes, genes or DNA because there terms hadn’t been identified yet • Allele – difference forms of a gene
- 19. From his experiments,Mendel concluded two things 2. Some alleles are dominant while other are recessive. • An organism with a dominant allele for a trait will always express that allele. • An organism with a recessive allele for a trait will express that form only when the dominant allele is not present.
- 20. Which led himto create to “laws” of inheritance
- 22. Law of Dominance •Law of Dominance- Some alleles are dominant, and others are recessive. • CAPITAL LETTERS are dominant (B,C,W) • LOWER CASE LETTER is recessive (b,c,w) • If an organism has both, only the dominant trait will show. (Bb, Cc, Ww)
- 23. A = Yellowallele a = Green allele WHICH ALLELE IS DOMINANT ? WHICH TRAIT IS DOMINANT? WHICH TRAIT IS RECESSIVE ? What are the Two dominant Genetic Combinations? What is the only Genetic combo a Green pea can Be?
- 24. WHAT ARE THE ALLELES for these FLOWERS? USEP= Purple p= White
- 25. The Law ofSegregation states that two factors (alleles) control each specific characteristic (gene). These factors (alleles) are separated during the formation of gametes (sex cells). The Law of Segregation
- 26. The Law ofSegregation • Law of Segregation- Traits occur in pairs. • They are separated during gamete formation and recombined at fertilization. Sperm and egg end up with one allele • Traits can “disappear” in one generation and “reappear” later.
- 28. Monohybri d cross Parents differby a single trait. Crossing two pea plants that differ in stem size, one tall and one short T = allele for Tall t = allele for dwarf TT = homozygous tall plant t t = homozygous dwarf plant T T t t
- 29. Punnett Square A diagram usedto show the probability or chances of a certain trait being passed from one generation to another.
- 30. Using a PunnettSquare STEPS: 1. determine the genotypes of the parent organisms 2. write down your "cross" (mating) 3. draw a p-square Parent genotypes: TT and t t Cross T T t t
- 31. Punnett square 4. "split"the letters of the genotype for each parent & put them "outside" the p-square 5. determine the possible genotypes of the offspring by filling in the p-square 6. summarize results (genotypes & phenotypes of offspring) T t T t T t T t T T t t Genotypes: 100% T t Phenotypes: 100% Tall plants T T t t
- 32. Punnett square example In a crossbetween PP x Pp. What percent of the offspring would you expect to be purple? P = purple, p = white One parent goes here One parent goes here
- 33. Let’s do anotherone… In a cross between Pp x Pp. What percent of the offspring would you expect to be white? P = purple, p = white
- 34. Monohybrid cross forstem length: T T t t (tall) (dwarf) P = parentals true breeding, homozygous plants: F1 generation is heterozygous: T t (all tall plants)
- 35. Monohybrid cross: F2generation If you let the F1 generation self-fertilize, the next monohybrid cross would be: T t T t (tall) (tall) T T T t T t t t T t T t Genotypes: 1 TT= Tall 2 Tt = Tall 1 tt = dwarf Genotypic ratio= 1:2:1 Phenotype: 3 Tall 1 dwarf Phenotypic ratio= 3:1
- 36. Secret of the Punnett Square Keyto the Punnett Square: Determine the gametes of each parent… How? By “splitting” the genotypes of each parent: If this is your cross T T t t T T t t The gametes are:
- 37. Once you havethe gametes… T T t t T t T t T t T t T T t t
- 38. Shortcut for Punnett Square… •Youonly need one box! T T t t T t Genotypes: 100% T t Phenotypes: 100% Tall plants • If either parent is HOMOZYGOUS T t
- 39. Understanding the shortcut… T t Tt T t T t T t T T t t = Genotypes: 100% T t Phenotypes: 100% Tall plants T t
- 40. If you haveanother cross… A heterozygous with a homozygous T t t t T t t T t t t Genotypes: 50% T t 50 % t t Phenotypes: 50% Tall plants 50% Dwarf plants You can still use the shortcut!
- 41. Another example: Flowercolor For example, flower color: P = purple (dominant) p = white (recessive) If you cross a homozygous Purple (PP) with a homozygous white (pp): P P p p P p ALL PURPLE (Pp)
- 42. Cross the F1generation: P p P p P P P p P p p p P p P p Genotypes: 1 PP 2 Pp 1 pp Phenotypes: 3 Purple 1 White
- 43. Human case: CF •Mendel’s Principles of Heredity apply universally to all organisms. • Cystic Fibrosis: a lethal genetic disease affecting Caucasians. • Caused by mutant recessive gene carried by 1 in 20 people of European descent (12M) • One in 400 Caucasian couples will be both carriers of CF – 1 in 4 children will have it. • CF disease affects transport in tissues – mucus is accumulated in lungs, causing infections.
- 44. Inheritance pattern ofCF IF two parents carry the recessive gene of Cystic Fibrosis (c), that is, they are heterozygous (C c), one in four of their children is expected to be homozygous for cf and have the disease: C C C c C c c c C c C c C C = normal C c = carrier, no symptoms c c = has cystic fibrosis
- 45. Probabilities… • Of course,the 1 in 4 probability of getting the disease is just an expectation, and in reality, any two carriers may have normal children. • However, the greatest probability is for 1 in 4 children to be affected. • Important factor when prospective parents are concerned about their chances of having affected children. • Now, 1 in 29 Americans is a symptom-less carrier (Cf cf) of the gene.
- 46. Gaucher Disease • GaucherDisease is a rare, genetic disease. It causes lipid-storage disorder (lipids accumulate in spleen, liver, bone marrow) • It is the most common genetic disease affecting Jewish people of Eastern European ancestry (1 in 500 incidence; rest of pop. 1 in 100,000)
- 47. Dihybrid crosses • Matingsthat involve parents that differ in two genes (two independent traits) For example, flower color: P = purple (dominant) p = white (recessive) and stem length: T = tall t = short
- 48. The Law ofIndependent Assortment The Law of Independent Assortment: Factors (alleles) for different characteristics (genes) are distributed to gametes (sex cells) independently. This means that the allele for seed texture isn’t dependent on the allele for plant height, etc.
- 49. Law of IndependentAssortment • Based on these results, Mendel postulated the Principle of Independent Assortment: “Members of one gene pair segregate independently from other gene pairs during gamete formation” Genes get shuffled – these many combinations are one of the advantages of sexual reproduction.
- 50. Dihybrid cross: flower colorand stem length TT PP tt pp (tall, purple) (short, white) Possible Gametes for parents T P and t p F1 Generation: All tall, purple flowers (Tt Pp) TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp TtPp tp tp tp tp TP TP TP TP

- 55. Relation of genesegregation to meiosis… • There’s a correlation between the movement of chromosomes in meiosis and the segregation of alleles that occurs in meiosis
- 56. Test cross When youhave an individual with an unknown genotype, you do a test cross. Test cross: Cross with a homozygous recessive individual. For example, a plant with purple flowers can either be PP or Pp… therefore, you cross the plant with a pp (white flowers, homozygous recessive) P ? pp
- 57. Test cross • Ifyou get all 100% purple flowers, then the unknown parent was PP… P p P p P p P p P P p p P p p p P p p p P p p p •If you get 50% white, 50% purple flowers, then the unknown parent was Pp…
- 58. Dihybrid test cross?? Ifyou had a tall, purple plant, how would you know what genotype it is? tt pp ?? ?? 1. TTPP 2. TTPp 3. TtPP 4. TtPp
- 59. Beyond Mendelian Genetics: IncompleteDominance Mendel was lucky! Traits he chose in the pea plant showed up very clearly… One allele was dominant over another, so phenotypes were easy to recognize. But sometimes phenotypes are not very obvious…
- 60. Incomplete Dominance Snapdragon flowerscome in many colors. If you cross a red snapdragon (RR) with a white snapdragon (rr) You get PINK flowers (Rr)! R R R r r r Genes show incomplete dominance when the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate.
- 61. Incomplete dominance Incomplete Dominance WhenF1 generation (all pink flowers) is self pollinated, the F2 generation is 1:2:1 red, pink, white R R R r R r r r R r R r
- 62. What happens ifyou cross a pink with a white? Incomplete dominance A pink with a red?
- 63. Summary of Genetics •Chromosomes carry hereditary info (genes) • Chromosomes (and genes) occur in pairs • New combinations of genes occur in sexual reproduction • Monohybrid vs. Dihybrid crosses • Mendel’s Principles: • Dominance: one allele masks another • Segregation: genes become separated in gamete formation • Independent Assortment: Members of one gene pair segregate independently from other gene pairs during gamete formation
