Terms you should know• CHROMOSOME: thread of DNA, made up of a string of
genes.
• GENE: a length of DNA that is the unit of heredity and codes for a specific protein. A gene may be copied and passed on to the next generation.
• ALLELE: any of two or more alternative forms of a gene.
• HAPLOID NUCLEUS: a nucleus containing a single set of unpaired chromosomes (e.g. sperm and egg)
• DIPLOID NUCLEUS: a nucleus containing two sets of chromosomes (e.g. in body cells)

•Genes control the characteristics of living organisms
•Genes are carried on the chromosomes
•Chromosomes are in pairs, one from each parent
•Genes are in pairs
•Genes controlling the same characteristics occupyidentical positions on corresponding chromosomes

The gene pairs control one characteristic,
but they do not always control it in the same way.
Of the gene pair which help determine coat colourin mice, one might try to produce black fur and its partner might try to produce brown fur.
The gene for black fur is dominant to the genefor brown fur.

•The genes are represented by letters.
•The gene for black fur is given the letter B.
•The gene for brown fur is given the letter b.
BB bb
•The genes must have the same letter but thedominant gene is always in capitals.

•The genes of a corresponding pair are called alleles.
•This means alternative forms of the same gene
-B and b are alleles of the gene for coat colour
-B is the dominant allele
-b is the recessive allele

Terms you should know:
• GENOTYPE: genetic makeup of an organism in term of the alleles present ( e.g. Tt or GG).
• PHENOTYPE: physical or other features of an organism due to both its genotype and its environment (e.g. tall plant or green seed)
• HOMOZYGOUS: having two identical alleles of a particulat gene (e.g. TT or gg).Two identical homozygous individuals that breed together will be pure-breeding.
• HETEROZYGOUS: having two different alleles of a particular gene (e.g. Tt or Gg), not pure- breeding.
• DOMINANT: an allele that is expresed if it is present
(e.g. T or G)
• RECESSIVE: an allele that is only expresses when there is no dominant allele of the gene present. ( e.g t or g )

•A black male mouse (BB) is mated (crossed) with afemale brown mouse (bb)
•In gamete production by meiosis, the alleles areseparated.
•Sperms will carry one copy of the B allele
•Ova will carry one copy of the b allele
•When the sperm fertilizes the ovum, thealleles B and b come together in the zygote

-The offspring from this cross are called the F1 (First Filial) generation
-They are all black because the allele for black coat colour isdominant to the allele for brown coat colour
-These Bb mice are called heterozygotes. Because the B and b alleles have different effects; producing either black or brown coat colour The mice are heterozygous for coat colour
-The BB mice are called homozygotes because the two allelesproduce the same effect. Both alleles produce black coats.
-The bb mice are also homozygous for coat colour. Both allelesproduce a brown coat colour
-The next slide shows what happens when the two heterozygotes are mated and produce young

•The offspring are in the ratio of 3 black to 1 brown
•Although the BB and Bb mice look identical, the Bb mice will notbreed true. When mated together there is a chance that 1 in 4 of theiroffspring will be brown
•This is only a chance because sperms and ova meet at random
•A litter of 5, may contain no brown mice; in a litter of 12, you mightexpect 3 brown mice but you would not be surprised at anything between 2 and 5.
•The total offspring from successive matings of the heterozygotes would be expected to produce in something close to the 3:1 ratio
For example, 6 successive litters might produce 35 black and 13 brown mice. This is a ratio of 2.7:1, near enough to 3:1
3:1 ratio 11

•The offspring of the heterozgotes are the F2 generation
•The genetic constitution of an organism is called its genotype
•The visible or physiological characteristics of an organism are called its phenotype

In most populations of animals there are approximately equal numbers of males and females.
This is the result of a pair of chromosomes; the sex chromosomescalled the X and Y chromosomes.
The X and Y chromosomes are a homologous pair but in many animals the Y chromosome is smaller than the X.
Females have two X chromosomes in their cells.Males have one X and one Y in their cells.
At meiosis, the sex chromosomes are separated so the the gametesreceive only one: either an X or a Y.
Sex chromosomes 15

- Very few human characteristics are controlled by a single gene
- Characteristics such as height or skin colour are controlled byseveral genes acting together
- Those characteristics which are controlled by a single geneare usually responsible for inherited defects (see slide 19)
Single gene effects 17

•An exception is the inheritance of the ABO blood group
-The IA allele produces group A -The IB allele produces group B
-The IO allele produces group O -IO is recessive to IA and IB
•The group A phenotype can result from genotypes IAIA or IAIO
•The group B phenotype can result from genotypes IBIB or IBIO
•The group O phenotype can result only from genotype IOIO
•The AB phenotype results from the genotype IAIB
•The alleles IA and IB are equally dominant (co-dominant)

Cystic fibrosis (recessive) Glands of the alimentary canal produce a thick mucus which affects breathing, digestion and susceptibility to chest infection
Achondroplastic dwarfism (dominant)The head and trunk grow normally but the limbs remain short
Albinism (recessive) Albinos cannot to produce pigment in their skin, hair or iris
Polydactyly (dominant*) an extra digit may be produced on thehands or feet
Sickle cell anaemia (recessive)The red blood cells becomedistorted if the oxygen concentration falls. They tend to block small blood vessels in the joints
Genetic defects19

If the genotypes of the parents are known, it is possible to calculate the probability of their having an affected child (i.e. one with the defect)
For example if a male achondroplastic dwarf marries a normalwoman, what are their chances of having an affected child?
The father’s genotype must be Dd. (DD is not viable)
The mother must be dd since she is not a dwarf
There is a 50% probability of their having an affected child

If two normal parents have an affected child, they must both be heterozygous (Nn) for the recessive allele n
NN Nn

N n

n nn
A nn parent would have cystic fibrosis
A NN parent would produce only normalchildren
Since the parents are now known to beheterozygous it can be predicted that theirnext child has a I in 4 chance of inheritingthe disease
This chance applies to all subsequent children*
Cystic fibrosis (recessive)21

Hb = haemoglobin
HbA is the allele for normal haemoglobinHbS is the allele for sickle cell haemoglobin
•A person with the genotype HbSHbS will suffer from sickle cell anaemia
•A person with the genotype HbAHbA is normal
•The genotype HbAHbS produces sickle cell ‘trait’ because HbA
is incompletely dominant to HbS
-The heterozygote HbAHbS has few symptoms but is a ‘carrier’ for the disease
Sickle cell anaemia (recessive)
22
![Page 25: Powerpoint heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55643260d8b42adb258b4a07/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Heterozygous recessive individuals do not usually exhibit any disease symptoms but because their offspring may inheritthe disease, the heterozygotes are called ‘carriers’

Similarly, individuals with the genotype Nn are carriers forcystic fibrosis

•It is sometimes possible to work out the genotypes of parents andto track the inheritance of an allele by studying family trees
= normal female = affected female
= normal male = affected male
Parents have normal phenotypes but produce
an affected child
For this to happen, both parents must have heterozygousgenotypes (Nn) for the characteristic
Family trees 24

If one of the parents is homozygousfor a dominant allele, all the childrenwill be affected
If one parent is heterozygous for a dominant allele and the other is homozygous recessive, there isa chance that half their children willbe affected
If both parents are heterozygous fora recessive allele, there is a chance that one in four of their children will be affected

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive gene
An affected person must therefore have the genotype nn
Since neither of the grandparents is affected, they must be eitherNN or Nn genotypes
If they were both NN, none of their children or grandchildren couldbe affected
If one was Nn and the other NN, then there is a chance that 50% of their children could be carriers Nn
If one of the carriers marries another carrier, there is a 1 in 4 chance of their having an affected child
The genotypes of the grand parents must be either both Nn or oneNN and the other Nn
