Ch 5 Gene Interactions Modification of Mendel’s Observations
Outline • Penetrance versus expressivity • Dominance • Variations • Lethal Genes • Multiple Allelic traits • Gene Interaction • Epitasis • Sex Influence traits • Sex limited traits • Cytoplasm Inheritance • Genomic Imprinting • Anticipation • Genes and our environment
Polydactylyan example of:: • Penetrance=% of indiduals with a genotype that express the phenotype • Expressivity= Degree to which trait is expressed
Hierarchy Of dominance
LETHAL INTERACTIONS 2:1 ratio 2/3 are Yy 1/3 are yy Lethal recessive
½ ML ½ M X ½ ML ½ M 2/3 tailless + 1/3 tails Manx cat ML = tailless, lethal in homozygote M = tail Tailless male x Tailless female MLM x MLM ¼ MLML ¼ MLM dies tailless ¼ MM ¼ MLM tailless tail
Gene Interaction R=red r=no red color C=destroys chlorophyll c=allows for chlorophyll 2 loci but one characteristic
Gene Interaction and the Chicken’s Comb R_P_ rrP_ R_pp rrpp
Gene Interaction and Epitasis • Masking of expression of one gene by another gene • Epistatic genes be recessive or dominant
Gene Interaction and Epitasis yellow black chocolate x BBEE bbee black yellow BbEe black
“e” shows recessive epistasis 9/16 B_E_ black 3/16 bbE_ brown B_ee yellow 3/16 4/16 1/16 bbee yellow All Yellow
W_Y_ white squash W_yy white squash wwY_ yellow squash wwyy green squash Genes proteins Enzyme pathways “W” is the dominant inhibitor allele “W” shows dominant epistasis
Sex-Influenced Traits Androgenic alopecia
Sex Limited Traits H_ hen feathering female Or hh hen feathering female H_ hen feathering male but hh Cock feathering male
Sex Limited in Humans (refers specifically for an abnormal protein, LH receptor)
Genomic Imprinting Different expression depending if the same autosome(s) inherited maternally or paternally. Angelman Syndrome Missing part of paternal chromosme 15 Missing part of maternal chromosme 15
Anticipation • When genetic trait becomes more strongly expressed at an earlier age.
Environmental Effects and Gene Expression The Himalayan Rabbit Temperature sensitive allele
Pleiotropic Effects(versus polygenic) • One gene affects many traits
The End Thursday: begin reading chapter 7 through 3 pt. test cross
