Review of basic Mendelian inheritance • Given that I do not have a cleft chin, which trait is dominant? 2. What is Caleb’s genotype? 3. What information would we need to calculate the probability that the new baby has a cleft chin? Scott Miller Caleb Fishman Miller cleft chins
Review of basic Mendelian inheritance • Given that I do not have a cleft chin, which trait is dominant? This is a bit of a trick question. It is most likely (and true) that cleft is dominant, but from this information you can’t be totally sure. 2. What is Caleb’s genotype? Cc, if cleft allele is C. 3. What information would we need to calculate the probability that the new baby has a cleft chin? What is Scott’s genotype?? How would we figure that out?
Review of basic Mendelian inheritance Assuming that Scott is a heterozygote and cleft is dominant, what is the probability that the new baby will have a cleft chin? Use a Punnett square or simple math...
Learning Goals • Understand Mendel’s 3rd principle • Independent assortment • Use Punnett square and forked-line diagram to predict the inheritance of trait combinations • Understand a test cross

Experimental Protocol (1) Develop parental lines (P) by self-breeding individuals until they are true breeding. (2) Create first-generation progeny (F1) by mating parental lines with alternative phenotypes (e.g., tall x dwarf). (3) Create second-generation progeny (F2) by self-fertilizing F1’s.

Mendel’s Principles, so far • Dominance: In a heterozygote, one allele may conceal another. • Segregation: In a heterozygote, two different alleles segregate from each other with equal probability during the formation of gametes. What happens if we consider two traits simultaneously?

Mendel’s Principles • Dominance: In a heterozygote, one allele may conceal another. • Segregation: In a heterozygote, two different alleles segregate from each other during the formation of gametes. • Independent Assortment: The alleles of different genes (or loci) segregate (or assort) independently of each other.
The forked-line method can be used to predict the outcome of an intercross involving three independently assorting genes in peas. TtYyRr x TtYyRr

Mendelian laws of segregation: mechanism 1: Alleles at a single gene segregate into the gametes at random(1:1 ratio) 2: Alleles at unlinked genes assort independently, so all combinations are equally likely. Both of these laws result from how homologous chromosomes line up in metaphase of Meiosis I.
Why is independent assortment important?? How many chromosomally unique gametes can one person make? LOTS!!!!
