Genetics
The study of heredity
Gregor Mendel is known as the “Father of Genetics”
![Page 3: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In 1866 – Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk,published his findings about the inheritance ingarden pea plants.
![Page 4: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mendel noticed that certain types of gardenpea plants produced specific forms of a trait,generation after generation.
He noticed some plants always produced greenseeds and others always produced yellow seeds.
He called these “true-breeding”.
![Page 5: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mendel performed cross pollination bytransferring the male gametes from the flowerof a yellow-seed plant to the female organ of agreen-seed plant.
Mendel called the green-seed plant and yellowseed plant the Parent Generation (P generation).
XParent Generation:
Yellow Peas (male)
Green Peas (female)
![Page 6: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When Mendel grew the seeds from the crossbetween the green-seed and yellow-seed plantsall of the offspring had yellow seeds.
The offspring of the P generation were calledthe first filial generation (F1 generation)
![Page 7: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Mendel wanted to know whether the trait wasno longer present, or whether it was hidden ormasked.
He planted the F1 generation of yellow-seedsand allowed them to grow and self-fertilize, thenexamined the seeds from that cross.
![Page 9: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The offspring from the F1 generation werecalled the second filial generation (F2generation).
The F2 generation had 6022 yellow seeds and2001 green seeds, which is almost a perfect 3:1ratio.

Mendel concluded that there must be 2 forms ofthe seed trait in the pea plants – yellow seedand green seed – and that each was controlledby a factor, which we now call an allele.
![Page 12: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Allele
An alternative form of a single gene passed from generation to generation
ex. The gene for yellow seeds and the gene for green seeds are just different
forms of a single gene.
![Page 13: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mendel said the 3:1 ratio he saw in his pea plantexperiments could be explained if the alleleswhere paired in each of the plants.
Mendel called the form of the trait he saw in theF1 generation dominant (yellow) and the formof the trait that was masked in the F1 generationrecessive (green).
![Page 14: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Dominant
Trait that appears in the F1 generation, and masks or hides the expression of the recessive
gene
Indicated by a capital letter.
![Page 15: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Recessive
Trait that is masked in the F1 generation by the dominant trait.
Indicated by a lowercase letter.
![Page 16: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In Mendel’s experiment the yellow-seed form ofthe trait is dominant, so it is represented by acapital Y.
The green-seed form was recessive, so it isrepresented by a lowercase y.
![Page 17: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
If an organism has two of the same alleles for atrait it is homozygous.
Ex. Homozygous yellow seeds are YY. Homozygous green seeds are yy.
![Page 18: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Homozygous
An organism with two of the SAME alleles for a specific trait.
YY or yy
![Page 19: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
An organism can have two different alleles for atrait, and when this happens they areheterozygous.
Ex: Yy The dominant trait observed in heterozygous
organisms, which means it will be yellow in this case.
![Page 20: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Heterozygous
An organism with two DIFFERENT alleles for a specific trait.
Yy
![Page 21: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Were the yellow plants in the F1 generation of Mendel’s experiments homozygous or
heterozygous?
The yellow plants could have been homozygous OR heterozygous.
The outward appearance of an organism does not always indicate which pair of alleles is
present.
![Page 22: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Genotype
The genetic make-up of the alleles.
Ex. YY or yy or Yy in Mendel’s plants
![Page 23: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phenotype
The physical appearance or expression of an allele.
Ex. The phenotype of plants with the genotype yy will be green
plants.
![Page 24: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mendel used homozygous yellow seed and homozygous green seed
plants in his P generation.
Each gamete from the yellow plant contains one Y.
Each gamete from the green plant contains one y.
![Page 26: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Mendel’s Law of Segregation says that two alleles for each trait separate during Meiosis, and
during fertilization two alleles for that trait unite.
![Page 28: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Hybrid
An organism that is heterozygous for a specific trait.
Ex. The F1 generation in Mendel’s experiments were hybrids. (Yy)
![Page 30: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
When Mendel allowed the Yy plants (F1 generation) to self-
fertilize he performed a monohybrid cross.
![Page 31: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Monohybrid Cross
A cross that involves hybrids for a single trait.
Results: Genotypic Ratio – 1:2:1Phenotypic Ratio – 3:1
![Page 32: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Punnett Square
A visual summary of the possible alleles for any given trait.
Shows all the possible combinations of genetic traits that results from the crossing of the parent organims.
![Page 34: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Once Mendel knew how a single trait was inherited using a monohybrid cross he could look at two or more traits in the same plant.
![Page 35: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In Garden Pea Plants round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (r), and yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to green seeds (y).
![Page 36: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
If Mendel crossed homozygous yellow, round seed pea plants with homozygous green, wrinkled pea plants the cross would result in all YyRr, yellow, round pea plants (F1 generation).
The F1 generation are called DIHYBRIDS because they are heterozygous for both traits.
You can cross dihybrids using a dihybrid cross.
![Page 37: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dihybrid Cross
A cross that involves two dihybrids.
Results in a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1.
![Page 38: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
From Mendel’s dihybrid cross he came up with the
Law of Independent Assortment.
![Page 41: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Law of Independent Assortment
Alleles randomly distribute during gamete formation. Genes on separate chromosomes sort
independently during meiosis.
![Page 42: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The law of independent assortment says that any four of these combinations are equally
likely.
![Page 43: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Genetic Recombination
The new combination of genes produced by crossing over and
independent assortment.
![Page 44: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
To calculate the possible combinations of genes due to independent assortment you use the formula 2n.
n = the number of chromosomes
The possible # of combinations after fertilization for humans would be:
223 X 223 = over 70 trillion
![Page 45: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Genes that are close to each other on the same chromosome are said
to be “linked”.
They usually travel together during gamete formation.
![Page 46: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Gene Linkage
Genes located close to one another on the same chromosome that usually travel
together and do not segregate independently.
Linked genes are an exception to Mendel’s Law of Independent
Assortment.

Most species have diploid cells (2n), but some have polyploidy cells.
![Page 49: Heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f92550346895dce946c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Polyploidy
The occurrence of 1 or more extra sets of all chromosomes in an
organism
Ex. Sugar Cane (8n)Oats (6n)
Strawberries (8n)
