Punnett Squares And Meiosis!
Meiosis: A type of cell division in which a diploid cell (two copies of each gene) divides to form a haploid cell (one copy of each gene). = SPERM and EGG!
T t Tt Recessive t - not curved allele Dominant T - curved thumb/allele T t Tt Recessive t - not curved allele Dominant T - curved thumb allele
Punnett Square: A method to determine the likely genotypes and phenotypes of offspring eggs T t Tt TT T Curved thumb Curved thumb sperm tt Tt t Straight thumb Curved thumb
Using the Punnett Square below, correctly cross a heterozygous brown haired person with a homozygous blonde haired person. B b Bb x bb Bb b bb B = brown hair allele b = blonde hair allele bb b Bb
b b B b Bb Bb bb bb Phenotype: 2 brown hair and 2 blonde hair Genotype: 2 Bb and 2 bb
Solve the following problems: GIVE THE PHENOTYPE & GENOTYPE! Cross EE x ee (brown eyed person with blue eyed) Cross a wrinkled seed with a homozygous round seed (W = wrinkled w = round) Cross a heterozygous tall person with a heterozygous tall person. Cross a homozygous tall person with a short person
Law of Segregation Two alleles separate from each other during meiosis! Each homologous chromosome pair separates during the formation of the sperm and egg (meiosis!)
Incomplete Dominance • Hh (heterozygote) where the functioning allele makes less protein • Example: in snapdragon flowers, red is dominant, but less protein pigment is made w/ Rr; the flower is pink (Rr) = pink
Incomplete Dominance Practice • In the budgerigars bird (“budgie”), olive feather color is dominant (GG), dark green is heterozygous (Gg), and light green is recessive (gg). • Cross an olive bird and a light green bird. • Cross two heterozygous birds
Codominance • When both alleles (forms of a gene) are expressed • Blood type is an example of codominance • Blood type A is codominant with B • Blood type O is recessive to A and B
Codominance Practice • Cross a person with type O blood (oo) with a person who has type A blood (Ao). • What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children? G: 2 Ao: 2 oo P: 2: type A blood : 2 type o blood
Sex-Lined Traits • gene carried only on the X chromosome • there is no corresponding gene on the y chromosome • Cross a non-colorblind male (XBY) with a “carrier” female (XBXb)
Law of Independent Assortment The distribution of alleles for one trait does not affect the distribution for of alleles for other traits
