• Genetics:– The study of heredity
• Heredity:– How traits are passed down generation to
generation• History:
– Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics

• Gregor Mendel/1850’s:– Austrian monk– Study mathematics and botany at the
University of Vienna– Use both of these areas of study to analyze
genetic crosses using pea plants.

Mendel worked with 7 pea plant traits:

Important terms to know:• Gene:
– A segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein/trait.
• Allele:– A specific form of a gene
• Dominant:– The overpowering form of a gene– Occurs most often in a population– Represented by a capital letter
• Recessive:– The weaker form of a gene– Occurs less often in a population– Represented by a lower case letter

Important terms to know:
• Phenotype:– A physical trait that you can see– Examples in peas: tall, short, wrinkled,
smooth• Genotype:
– The genetic make up /gene combination– Three types of genotypes:
• RR…..Homozygous dominant• Rr……Heterozygous• rr……. Homozygous recessive

The law of dominance
• Simply stated: – Anytime a dominant allele is present the
dominant trait will be seen, it overpowers the recessive allele.

• The ability to roll your tongue is dominant over the inability to roll your tongue.– Tongue roller …. T– Non tongue roller…t– Homozygous Dominant:
• TT• Tongue roller

-Heterozygous•Tt•Tongue roller
-Homozygous Recessive•tt•Nontongue roller

Karyotype
- A diagram created from a picture of a person’s actual chromosomes.

Use of the karyotype:
• Used to determine if a person inherited a certain gene or genetic disorder
• Used to determine the chance of passing a gene or genetic disorder on to their child
• Used to determine the sex of a child.

Creating a karyotype:
04/24/23 18
-Look at the length of the chromosome
-Look for the position of the centromere
-Look at the repeating pattern of light and dark bands representing genes
-Look at the specific genes which have been identified and mapped/labeled through the Human Genome Project.
