Genetic TerminologyKey Concept!

A. Heredity is the transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring.

B. A trait is a specific characteristic such as height or eye color.

04/21/23 24

Genetics TerminologyC. Molecular genetics is the

study of the structure and function of chromosomes and genes.

04/21/23 25

Mendel’s Observations

A. Mendel observed seven characteristics in pea plants.

B. He looked at contrasting traits:

1. Plant height

(long or short stems)

2. Seed color

(yellow or green)

3. Flower color

(purple or white)

04/21/23 26

04/21/23 27


C. Mendel studied each characteristic and its contrasting trait individually.

04/21/23 28

Mendel’s Experiments: Crossed Pea Mendel’s Experiments: Crossed Pea Varieties with 7 Clearly Distinguishable Varieties with 7 Clearly Distinguishable TraitsTraits

04/21/23 29

Mendel’s ObservationsD. He began by growing plants

that were pure for each trait.

(1) Plants that are pure for a trait always produce offspring for that specific “pure” trait.

04/21/23 30


E. The term strain denotes plants that are pure for a specific trait.

F. The first strain is referred to as a parental generation, or P1 generation.

04/21/23 31

04/21/23 32


G. When the plants matured, he recorded the number of each type of offspring produced by the P1 plant.

(1) He called the offspring of the P1 generation the first filial generation, or F1 generation.

Terminology A. An allele is an alternative

form of a gene.

(1) Letters are used to represent alleles. (i.e. T, t)

(2) Dominant Trait: TT (Tallness)

(3) Recessive Trait: tt (shortness)

B. Gene: a segment of DNA that contains coding for a polypeptide or protein; a unit of heredity information.

04/21/23 35

TerminologyC. Punnett Square: Used for predicting

the probability that certain traits will be inherited by offspring.

(1) Punnett Square = P for Probability

04/21/23 36

Terminology D. Homozygous: When both

alleles of a pair are alike, or the same, the organism is said to be homozygous for that characteristic.

AA = RED

aa = BLUE

04/21/23 37

Terminology E. Heterozygous: When the two

alleles in the pair are different, the organism is heterozygous for that characteristic. Tt

04/21/23 38

Terminology

F. The genetic makeup of an organism is its genotype

(1) Combination of alleles (Rr, rr, RR)

04/21/23 39

Genotypic Ratio

1. Cross (Tt) (Tt) using a Punnett square.

2. What is the genotypic ratio?

Genotypic Ratio = 1TT:2Tt:1tt

04/21/23 40

Terminology G. Phenotype is the physical

appearance or expression of the genotype. (Flower Color)

(1) Flower Color is the physical appearance/phenotype.

04/21/23 41

Phenotypic Ratio

1. What is the phenotypic ratio of a cross between (Tt)(Tt)?

- Use a Punnett Square to assist you.

2. The phenotypic ratio is

3 Tall: 1 Short

04/21/23 42

Ratios

F1 x F1 crosses:

Mendel also discovered that traits that disappear in the F1 generation reappear in the F2 generation in a 1:3 ratio.

04/21/23 43

Hybrids A. A hybrid is…..B. A monohybrid cross is a

cross between individuals that involves one pair of contrasting traits (TT)(tt)

C. A Dihybrid cross is a cross between individuals that involve two pairs of contrasting traits. (BBSS) (ssbb)

04/21/23 44

Dihybrid cross: F1 generation

Dihybrid cross: F2 generation

Dominant versus Recessive Traits

04/21/23 48

Recessive Traits versus Dominant Traits

A. Recessive Trait: Referring to an allele that is masked by the presence of another allele for the same characteristic.

(1) Example: T = Tall

t = Short

tt = Short (recessive trait)

04/21/23 49

Recessive Traits versus Dominant Traits

04/21/23 50

Recessive Traits versus Dominant TraitsB. Dominant Trait: The dominant

trait dominants over a recessive trait unless the recessive trait is homozygous tt = shortness.

(1) Example: T = Tall

t = Short

TT = Tall (Dominant Trait)

Tt = Tall (Dominant Trait)

04/21/23 51

Epigenetics

A. May control the expression of our genes.

B. Involves the modifications of the activation of certain genes, but not the basic structure of DNA

C. Possible Epignetic Processes:

1. Gene silencing

2. Chromosome inactivation

Mendel’s Laws & Other Key Concepts

1. Mendel’s Law of Segregation 2. Mendel’s Law of Independent

Assortment3. Mendel’s Law of Dominance4. Mendel’s Law of Incomplete

DominanceOther Key Concepts:1. Blood Types2. Homologous Chromosomes 3. Crossing Over4. Sex-Linked Traits (pedigree chart)5. DNA versus RNA

04/21/23 70

Mendel’s Law of Segregation

A. Law of Segregation states that a pair of factors (alleles) is segregated, or separated, during the formation of gametes (reproductive cells)

(1) When two gametes combine during fertilization, the offspring have two factors controlling a specific trait (Gg)

04/21/23 71

04/21/23 72

Law of Segregation and Recombination

A. Each trait is transmitted as an unchanging unit, independent of other traits, thereby giving the recessive traits a chance to recombine and show their presence in some of the offspring.

04/21/23 73

Mendel’s Law of Mendel’s Law of Independent AssortmentIndependent Assortment

1. Traits are not inherited together.

2. In forming the gametes, the “Factors” for any two traits assort independently from one another

3. This became known as Mendel’s second principle: Independent Assortment

04/21/23 74

Independent Assortment

04/21/23 75

Mendel’s Law of Dominance

C. Law of Dominance

1. Of two contrasting characteristics, the dominant one may completely mask the appearance of the recessive one.

04/21/23 76

Mendel’s Law of Incomplete Dominance

D. Incomplete Dominance

1. Pattern of inheritance in which neither allele is dominant

2. Three totally different phenotypes can occur.

04/21/23 77

Incomplete Dominance

04/21/23 78

Mendel’s Law of Co-dominance

E. Incomplete dominance is also called Co-dominance

1. Co-dominance occurs when one allele is not dominant.

2. Both alleles are expressed equally.

04/21/23 79

Co-Dominance: Blood Types

04/21/23 80

What are Blood Types?

Everybody has a blood type. The most common blood type classification system is the ABO (say "A-B-O") system discovered by Karl Landsteiner in the early 1900s. There are four types of blood in the ABO system: A, B, AB, and O. Your blood type is established before you are born, by specific genes inherited from your parents. You receive one gene from your mother and one from your father; these two combine to establish your blood type. These two genes determine your blood type by causing proteins called agglutinogens (a-GLOO-tin-a-gins) to exist on the surface of all of your red blood cells.

04/21/23 86

Homologous Chromosomes

A. Two copies of each autosome are called homologous chromosomes.

(1) They are the same size, shape, and carry genes for the same traits.

04/21/23 87


04/21/23 88


B. Homologous pairs of chromosomes segregate during meiosis.

04/21/23 89

Crossing OverA. Portions of chromatids may

break off and attach to adjacent chromatids on the homologous chromosome = a process called crossing over.

04/21/23 90

Sex-Linked Traits

A. Sex-linkage is the presence of a gene on a sex-chromosome.

B. Sex Chromosomes:

XX = Female

XY = Male

C. X-Linked Traits:

(1) Colorblindness

(2) Hemophilia

(3) Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

04/21/23 91

Sex-Linked Traits

04/21/23 92

PedigreeA. A pedigree is a family record that

shows how a trait is inherited over several generations.

Recombinant DNA Technology

DNA Replication

A. The process of copying DNA in a cell is called replication.

(1) During replication, the two nucleotide chains separate by unwinding, and each chain serves as a template for a new nucleotide chain.

04/21/23 103

DNA Replication

04/21/23 104

Steps of DNA Replication (1) Separation of two nucleotide chains.

a. Point of separation = Replication fork

(2) Chains are separated by enzymes called helicases.

(3) Helicase enzymes move along the DNA molecule, they break the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases, and the chains separate.

04/21/23 105

Steps of DNA Replication

(4) DNA Polymerases bind to the separated chains of DNA.

04/21/23 106

Steps of DNA Replication(5) As DNA Polymerases move along

the separated chains, new chains of DNA are assembled using nucleotides that are complementary to the existing DNA chains.

04/21/23 107

Steps of DNA Replication

(6) The complementary nature of the two chains of DNA is the foundation for accurate DNA replication.

completed,

(1) Two new exact copies of the original DNA molecule are produced

(2) The cell is now ready to undergo cell division (P.M.A.T).
