Presentation Transcript

  1. Fundamentals of Genetics (Ch.9.1 + 9.2) • Genetics is the field of biology devoted to understanding how characteristicsare transmitted from parents to offspring.

  2. Objectives • 1. Explain the significance of Mendel's • experiments and observations, and the laws • derived from them. • 1.1 Explain the concept of independent events. • 1.2 Understand that the probability of an • independent event is not altered by the • outcomes of previous events. • 1.3 Describe Mendel's experiments and • observations. • 1.4 Describe the relationship between genotype • and phenotype. • 1.5 Use the concept of the gene to explain • Mendel's laws. • 1.6 Describe the ideas of dominant and recessive • traits with examples. • 1.7 Consider the value of the punnett square by • creating examples of mono and dihybrid • crosses. • 1.8 Explain the law of segregation.

  3. THINK, PAIR UP, AND SHARE! • Think, Pair, Share2.10 Discuss the similarities and differences • between sex chromosomes and somatic • chromosomes. • 2.11 Using examples from living organisms • discuss the importance of asexual and sexual • reproduction to their growth and survival.

  4. Independent Events • If events happen independently of each other they... • If events were to be dependent on each other they...

  5. Mendel the Monk • Gregor Mendel was an Austrian Monk, who specialized in statistics. • Heredity – transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring.Traits – a category in which alternate characteristics can be observed

  6. Mendel's Crosses and Results

  7. Mendel's Laws • Law of Segregation – a pair of factors is segregated or separated during the formation of gametes. • Law of Independent Assortment – factors for different characteristics are distributed to gametes independently.WHAT DO THESE MEAN EXACTLY?

  8. Genes and Alleles • Gene is a segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls a particular hereditary trait. • Alleles are the different types of characteristics the gene can express. • These alleles are represented by letters.G = capital means dominantg = lower case means recessive

  9. Genotype vs Phenotype • Genotype – its “genetic type” or make-up • Phenotype – its visible appearance – what we see • Dominant – will reflect appearance regardless of the other trait's characteristics. • Recessive – only will reflect appearance if paired with another recessive.

  10. Punnett Squares – Monohybrid and Dihybrid Crosses • P1 Generation – Parental • F1 Generation – Fillial (offspring) • Pure – breed only a specific trait • Strain – plants that are pure for a specific trait • Y = Dominant Yellow Genotypes: 2 Yy, 2 yyy = Recessive Green Phenotypes: 2 yellow, 2 green

  11. Dihybrid Cross • R - roundr – wrinkled • Y – yellowy - green

  12. Heterozygous – allele is paired with a different allele (characteristic).Gg Homozygous vs Heterozygous • Homozygous – allele is with the exact same allele as itself.GG

  13. Incomplete Dominance -two or more alleles influence the phenotype. Codominance-both alleles are expressed independently. Blonde (B) + brown (B') hair. Dominance • Complete Dominance-one allele “pwns” the other. You only see the one phenotype.

  14. 9.1 9.2 Punnett Square Problems Assignments + Practice • Test Cross – if you know something expresses a certain phenotype, but want to know its genetype for a trait, cross is with a purebreed and observe the results!

  15. ObjectivesAchieved? • 1. Explain the significance of Mendel's • experiments and observations, and the laws • derived from them. • 1.1 Explain the concept of independent events. • 1.2 Understand that the probability of an • independent event is not altered by the • outcomes of previous events. • 1.3 Describe Mendel's experiments and • observations. • 1.4 Describe the relationship between genotype • and phenotype. • 1.5 Use the concept of the gene to explain • Mendel's laws. • 1.6 Describe the ideas of dominant and recessive • traits with examples. • 1.7 Consider the value of the punnett square by • creating examples of mono and dihybrid • crosses. • 1.8 Explain the law of segregation.
