Theory strongly supported after discovery of sex chromosomesFemale: homogameticMale: heterogametic
Cruzamientos realizados por Morgan Parental femenino Parental masculino OJOS BLANCOS OJOS ROJOS Generación Parental F1: Toda de ojos rojos Conclusion: Ojo Blanco es recesivo
Morgan’s eye-color crosses F1: All red-eyed Conclusion? White eye is recessive
Cruzamientos realizados por Morgan Generación F1 Fenotipos F1 Ojos Rojos Ojos Rojos Resultados de la F2 1/2 Hembras ojo rojo : 1/4 machos ojo rojo : 1/4 machos ojo blanco Todas las hembras son de ojo rojo En base a este resultado Morgan propone que el carácter ojo blanco debe estar asociado al cromosoma X
Morgan’s eye-color crosses What was going on? All the white-eyed flies were males! White-eyed flies have lower viability than wild-type
Morgan’s eye-color crosses So, the ratio was probably really 3 : 1 On the basis of these results from crosses, Morgan proposed that w is on the X Hypothesized the following model as an explanation:
Cruzamientos realizados por Morgan El macho tiene ojos blancos porque es hemicigoto. Muestra el fenotipo de un alelo recesivo en simple dosis Generación Parental Genotipo Parental diploide Gametos haploides
Cruzamientos realizados por Morgan Gametos masculinos Generación F1 Gametos femeninos ½ w+/w (o X+/Xw) ½ w+/Y (o X+/Y) Genotipos F1 ½ hembras ½ machos Todos de ojos rojos Fenotipos F1
Morgan’s eye-color crosses Morgan’s crosses showed a transmission pattern of: Male P to Female F1 to Male F2 This pattern is called crisscross inheritance It is indicative of X-linked recessives
Morgan’s eye-color crosses The difference in the phenotypic ratios in the 2 sets of crosses is because of the sex linkage
Morgan’s eye-color crosses When the results of reciprocal crosses are not the same, Different ratios are seen for the sexes of the offspring Sex-linkage is strongly suspected
Morgan’s results strongly supported the chromosome theory of inheritanceThe transmission pattern of the phenotypes neatly fit the pattern of the X chromosome
The theory is further supported by the parallel behavior between Mendelian traits and chromosomes in meiosis:
