  1. Mendelian Inheritance BIO 2215 Oklahoma City Community College Dennis Anderson

  2. Gregor Mendel • Father of Genetics • 1823-1884 • Monk in Austria • Experimented with garden peas

  3. Tall Tall Short

  4. Mendel’s Hypotheses • Each parent has two factors (alleles) • Each parent gives one of those factors to the offspring • Tall has TT • Short has tt • Tall is dominant • Short is recessive

  5. T t Tt TT tt

  6. T T TT TT TT

  7. t t tt tt tt

  8. Law of Segregation • Alleles separate during gamete production • Gametes have one allele for each trait • During fertilization gametes combine at random to form individuals of the next generation

  9. Discovery of Chromosomes in 1900 Confirmed Law of Segregation • Chromosomes are in pairs • Each chromosome has one of the allele pair

  10. Meiosis Metaphase Chromosomes line up in a double row. T T t t Assume a T allele on each red chromatid and a t allele on each blue chromatid

  11. Chromosomes separate Each each daughter cell gets doubled chromosomes t t T T

  12. Doubled Chromosomes Separate in Second Meiotic Division T T t t

  13. Each gamete will have a T allele or a t allele T T t t

  14. Allele • Member of a paired gene • One allele comes from each parent • Represented by a single letter

  15. Dominant & Recessive Alleles • Dominant alleles are expressed • Recessive alleles are not expressed in the presence of a dominant allele • Recessive alleles are only expressed if both recessive alleles are present

  16. Gene • A unit of heredity that controls the development of one trait • Made of DNA • Most genes are composed of two alleles

  17. Homozygous • Both alleles alike • AA or aa

  18. Heterozygous • Alleles are different • Aa

  19. Genotype • Genetic make up • Represented by alleles • TT & Tt are genotypes for tall pea plants

  20. Phenotype • A trait • Genotype determines the phenotype • Tall is a phenotype

  21. Homologous Chromosomes • Chromosomes of the same pair • Each homologue will have one allele for a paired gene • Homologous chromosomes pair up during meiosis • Only one of each homologue will be in each gamete

  22. Sickle Cell Anemia • RBCs sickle shaped • Anemia • Pain • Stroke • Leg ulcers • Jaundice • Gall stones • Spleen, kidney & lungs

  23. Sickle Cell Anemia • Recessive allele s, codes for hemoglobin S • Long rod-like molecules • Stretches RBC into sickle shape • Homozygous recessive ss, have sickle cell anemia • Heterozygous Ss, are carriers

  24. Albinism • Lack of pigment • Skin • Hair • Eyes

  25. a A AA = Normal pigmentation Aa = Normal pigmentation aa = Albino Enzyme Amino Acids Melanin Pigment

  26. PKU Disease • Phenylalanine excess • Mental retardation if untreated

  27. p P PP = Normal Pp = Normal pp = PKU Enzyme Phenylalanine Tyrosine

  28. Monohybrid Cross or One Trait A man & woman are both carriers (heterozygous) for albinism. What is the chance their children will inherit albinism?

  29. AA = Normal pigmentation Aa = Normal pigmentation (carrier) aa = Albino A A a a Man = Aa Woman = Aa

  30. A A a a Aa AA Aa aa

  31. Aa AA Aa aa Genotypes 1 AA, 2Aa, 1aa Phenotypes 3 Normal 1 Abino Probability 25% for albinism

  32. A man & woman are both carriers (heterozygous) for PKU disease. What is the chance their children will inherit PKU disease?

  33. PP = Normal Pp = Normal (carrier) pp = PKU disease Pp PP Pp pp P p P p

  34. Pp PP Pp pp Genotypes 1 PP, 2Pp, 1pp Phenotypes 3 Normal 1 PKU disease Probability 25% for PKU disease

  35. A man with sickle cell anemia marries a woman who is a carrier. What is the chance their children will inherit sickle cell anemia?

  36. SS = Normal Ss = Normal (carrier) ss = Sickle Cell ss Ss Ss ss S s s s

  37. ss Ss Ss ss Genotypes 2 Ss, 2ss Phenotypes 2 Normal (carriers) 2 Sickle cell Probability 50% for Sickle cell

  38. Dwarfism Dwarfism = D Normal height = d DD = Dwarfism Dd = Dwarfism dd = Normal height Dwarf Band

  39. A man with heterozygous dwarfism marries a woman who has normal height. What is the chance their children will inherit dwarfism? Dwarfism is dominant.

  40. DD = Dwarf Dd = Dwarf dd = Normal Dd Dd dd dd d d D d

  41. Dd Dd dd dd Genotypes 2 Dd, 2dd Phenotypes 2 Normal 2 Dwarfs Probability 50% for Dwarfism

  42. Law of Independent Assortment • The inheritance of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another gene if they are on separate chromosomes. • The gene for albinism does not affect the gene for dwarfism

  43. Dihybrid Cross or Two Traits • A heterozygous tall plant that is also heterozygous for yellow seeds is crossed with another plant with the same genotype • Tall and yellow seeds are dominant to short and green seeds.
