  1. Chapter 15: The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance • Let’s review • Ch 13 - Meiosis makes gametes – sperm & egg • Ch 14 – Mendel studied peas • gametes pass on traits • unknown what was in the gametes • Ch 15 connects meiosis with Mendel’s observations of genetics!

  2. P Generation Yellow-round seeds (YYRR) Green-wrinkled seeds (yyrr) Starting with two true-breeding pea plants, we follow two genes through the F1 and F2 generations. The two genes specify seed color (allele Y for yellow and allele y for green) and seed shape (allele R for round and allele r for wrinkled). These two genes are on different chromosomes. (Peas have seven chromosome pairs, but only two pairs are illustrated here.) y Y r R R Y r y Meiosis Fertilization y r Y R Gametes All F1 plants produce yellow-round seeds (YyRr) R R y F1 Generation y r r Y Y Meiosis LAW OF SEGREGATION LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT r R r R Two equally probable arrangements of chromosomes at metaphase I y Y Y y 1 Alleles at both loci segregate in anaphase I, yielding four types of daughter cells depending on the chromosome arrangement at metaphase I. Compare the arrangement of the R and r alleles in the cellson the left and right 1 3 The R and r alleles segregate at anaphase I, yielding two types of daughter cells for this locus. r R R r Anaphase I y Y y Y r r R R Metaphase II 2 Each gamete gets a long and a short chromosome in one of four allele combinations. 2 Each gamete gets one long chromosome with either the R or r allele.

  3. Chapter 15: The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance • How was it determined that chromosomes carry genes? • Thomas Hunt Morgan • 1st to trace a specific gene to a specific chromosome • Noticed a fly with white eyes (wild-type is red) • Wild-type – phenotype most common in the natural population (+) • Mutants – alternative trait to the wild-type

  4. P Generation X F1 Generation F2 Generation Figure 15.4 In a cross between a wild-type female fruit fly and a mutant white-eyed male, what color eyes will the F1 and F2 offspring have? Expected 3:1 Observed 3:1 Problem!!!!!! Only males had white eyes…..hmmm.

  6. RESULTS EXPERIMENT Morgan first mated true-breeding wild-type flies with black, vestigial-winged flies to produce heterozygous F1 dihybrids, all of which are wild-type in appearance. He then mated wild-type F1 dihybrid females with black, vestigial-winged males, producing 2,300 F2 offspring, which he “scored” (classified according to phenotype).

  14. XaY XAXA (a) A father with the disorder will transmit the mutant allele to all daughters but to no sons. When the mother is a dominant homozygote, the daughters will have the normal phenotype but will be carriers of the mutation. Sperm Xa Y XAXa XAY Ova XA XAxa XAY XA  XAXa XAY If a carrier mates with a male of normal phenotype, there is a 50% chance that each daughter will be a carrier like her mother, and a 50% chance that each son will have the disorder. (b) Sperm XA Y XAXA XAY Ova XA XaY XAxa Xa  XAXa XaY If a carrier mates with a male who has the disorder, there is a 50% chance that each child born to them will have the disorder, regardless of sex. Daughters who do not have the disorder will be carriers, where as males without the disorder will be completely free of the recessive allele.

  20. Sometimes, crossing over is NOT exact (Figure 19.18) This leads to deletions & duplications.

In a reciprocal   translocation, the most common type, nonhomologous chromosomes exchange fragments. Nonreciprocal translocations also occur, in which a chromosome transfers a fragment without receiving a fragment in return.

  26. Chapter 15: The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance--EXCEPTIONS • Only DNA located within the nucleus follows chromosomal inheritance rules! • Mitochondrial DNA (containing genes coding for production of ETC proteins, ATP synthase, etc.) is primarily inherited only from the maternal parent.
