Presentation Transcript

  1. Genetics! Chapter 9

  2. Objectives • Define homozygous, heterozygous, allele, genotype, phenotype. • Understand Mendel’s 3 laws • Perform a Dihybrid cross.

  3. What we already know… • Dominant/Recessive • Alleles • Genotypes • Phenotypes • Heterozygous/Homozygous • Monohybrid Crosses (Punnett Squares with 1 trait!)

  4. Gregor Mendel • “Father of Genetics” • Austrian Monk that studied pea plants • Pure breeds • Self Fertilization • Cross Polination • Discovered how traits were inherited in a population

  5. W w Sperm Mendel’s 3 Laws • 1. Law of Segregation • Each allele a person has separates into different gametes • Ex. Ww – one W goes in one sperm and the other w goes into another sperm w W

  6. 2. Law of Independent Assortment Gene pairs (homologous) will separate randomly into gametes Mendel’s 3 Laws

  7. Mendel’s 3 Laws • 3. Law of Dominance • Traits exist in two possible forms (dominant and recessive) • The dominant forms hides the recessive trait in the heterozygous condition

  8. Mendel’s Crosses • P Generation: • F1 Generation: • F2 Generation:

  9. Monohybrid Cross • If Fred Flintstone is heterozygous for black hair. • (B=Black, b=blonde) • What is Fred’s genotype? • What is Fred’s phenotype? • Tweety bird is yy. (Y= yellow feathers, y=brown feathers) • 1. What is his genotype? • 2. What is his phenotype? • 3. Is he heterozygous or homozygous? Explain.

  10. Dihybrid Crosses • Set up: • 1. Determine parent genotypes • 2. Determine alleles to be passed down • 3. Set up punnet square • 4. Determine outcome • Phenotype Ratio • Genotype Ratio

  11. Dihybrid Crosses • Looking at two different traits • Ex. Hair color and eye color • B=brown eyes • b=blue eyes • R=Brown hair • r=blonde hair • Mother is heterozygous for both traits • Father is heterozygous for eye color and homozygous dominant for hair color

  12. Incomplete Dominance • Heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate phenotype between the two homozygous phenotypes. • Two alleles are blended • Ex) Four O’clock Flowers • Red + White = Pink

  13. Codominance • Neither trait is dominant instead, both traits are shown (No Blending) • Ex) Roan Cows • Red + White = REDANDWHITE

  14. Traits determined by more than 2 alleles Ex. Blood Typing (3 alleles ABO) A and B are dominant to O Multiple Alleles

  15. Sex Linked Traits • Traits located on the sex chromosomes (X or Y) • X linked: gene is located on the X chromosomes • Y linked: gene is located on the Y chromosome

  16. Example Sex-Linked Problem • In humans, normal vision (XC) is dominant to colorblindness (Xc) and is sex-linked.  A normal-visioned man, whose father was colorblind, marries a colorblind woman.  What are the chances that a son will be colorblind.  A daughter? 

  17. Homework! • Inheritance problems worksheet. Due Friday/Monday (whenever I see you!)
