Please do the following activities on the student media (Chapter 15): - MP3 tutor: Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance - Activity: Polyploid Plants (relate to speciation (sympatric)!!) Concept 4: Applying the chromosomal basis of inheritance to analysis the effects of alterations in chromosome number or structure. Campbell: Chapter 15 Holtzclaw: pg 111
But First… Linked Genes from last class… A blue fly with silver spots is mated with a wild type fly (grey, no spots) and all of the F1 generation are phenotypically wild (grey, no spots). The F1 fly is mated with a blue fly with silver spots (test cross) with the following results for the testcross offspring:1025 wild type 1002 blue with silver spots 352 grey with silver spots 366 blue with no spots Are the genes for blue and silver spots linked? How do you know? If so, what is the recombination frequency for the genes for blue and silver spots?
But First… Linked Genes from last class… 1025 wild type PARENTAL TYPE 1002 blue with silver spots PARENTAL TYPE 352 grey with silver spots RECOMBINANT 366 blue with no spots RECOMBINANT Are the genes for blue and silver spots linked? YES How do you know? BECAUSE IF IT WAS TRUE INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT, THE TEST CROSS OF A DOUBLE HETEROZYGOTE AND THE DOUBLE HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE WOULD HAVE PRODUCED A 1:1:1:1 RATIO However, the genes are not completely linked… in other words, since some recombinants exist… the chromosomes must have recombined via crossing over…
But First… Linked Genes from last class… 1025 wild type PARENTAL TYPE 1002 blue with silver spots PARENTAL TYPE 352 grey with silver spots RECOMBINANT 366 blue with no spots RECOMBINANT If so, what is the recombination frequency for the genes for blue and silver spots? Recombination frequency = #recombinants/total # of offspring = (365+366)/(1025+1002+352+366) = (731)/(2738) = 0.266 This means that the genes recombine via crossing over 26.6% of the time!
Try This! • Genes A, B, and C are located on the same chromosome. Testcrosses show that the recombination frequency between A and B is 28% and between A and C is 12%. A’s in the middle! Can you determine the linear order of these genes are their relative distance from each other in map units?

Learning Intentions Goal: to analyze mechanisms of chromosomal inheritance • You must know: • How the chromosome theory of inheritance connects the physical movement of chromosomes in meiosis to Mendel’s laws of inheritance • How alteration of chromosome number or structurally altered chromosomes can cause genetic disorders
Alteration of Chromosome Number • How? Nondisjuction • Occurs when homologous chromosomes do not separate properly during meiosis II. • Result? Aneuploidy • Incorrect number of a chromosome • Trisomic: three copies of the chromosome • Monosomic: one copy of the chromosome • OR: Result? Polyploidy • More than two complete sets of chromosomes
What happens next? What would the haploid gametes look like?
Rearrangement of Chromosome Structure • Portions of a chromosomes may be lost or rearranged during crossing over • Deletion • Fragment is lost. Missing genes. • Duplication • Extra fragment. Extra genes. • Inversion • Backwards section! May affect genes. • Translocation • Moving a piece to a nonhomologous chromosome
Chromosaomal Deletion • Example: Cris du Chat • Deletion in chromosome 5 in humans • Small head, unusual facial features, has a cry that sounds like mewing of a distressed cat • Death in infancy or early childhood • Affects 1 in 20,000 or 50,000 of live births
Try This! A spermatocyte produces the following four sperm cells:n + 1 n + 1 n – 1 n – 1 • These cells are the result of which process? • When would this happen?
Try This! A spermatocyte produces the following four sperm cells:n + 1 n + 1 n – 1 n – 1 • These cells are the result of which process? NONDISJUNCTION • When would this happen? DURING MEIOSIS I
