Today: Inheritance for 1 gene

Fig 13.5 {Producing gametes} Sexual reproduction creates genetic diversity by combining DNA from 2 individuals, but also by creating genetically unique gametes. {Producing more cells}

haploid X 23 in humans X 23 in humans diploid X 23 in humans Inheritance = The interaction between genes inherited from Mom and Dad.

Do parents’ genes/traits blend together in offspring?

Fig 14.3 In many instances there is a unique pattern of inheritance. Traits disappear and reappear in new ratios.

Human blood types Fig 14.11

Fig 14.11 One gene with three alleles controls carbohydrates that are found on Red Blood Cell membranes A A B RBC A B RBC RBC B A B A B A A B B A A B B Allele O = no carbs Allele A = A carbs Allele B = B carbs

Human blood types Fig 14.11

We each have two versions of each gene… A A RBC A A A So A A A A Genotype could be A and A OR A and O

Recessive alleles do not show their phenotype when a dominant allele is present. A A RBC A A A A A A A Genotype could be A and A OR A and O

What about… RBC Genotype = ??

What about… RBC Genotype = OO

What about… A B RBC B A A B B A A B

What about… A B RBC B A A B B A A B Genotype = AB

If Frank has B blood type, his Dad has A blood type, And his Mom has B blood type… Should Frank be worried?

Mom=B blood BB or BO Dad=A blood AA or AO possible genotypes

Mom=B blood BB or BO Dad=A blood AA or AO possible genotypes all A / 50% A and 50% O all B / 50% B and 50% O Gametes

Mom=B blood BB or BO Dad=A blood AA or AO possible genotypes all A / 50% A and 50% O all B / 50% B and 50% O Gametes Frank can be BO = B blood …no worries

Grandparents AB and AB Mom=B blood BB or BO Dad=A blood AA possible genotypes all B / 50% B and 50% O Gametes all A Frank can be BO or BB = B blood …Uh-Oh

We can also predict the future Fig 14.3

Inheritance of blood types Mom = AB Dad = AB

Inheritance of blood types Mom = AB Dad = AB A or B Gametes: A or B

Inheritance of blood types Mom = AB Dad = AB A or B A or B Gametes: Dad A or B Chance of each phenotype for each offspring 25% AA 50% AB 25% BB AA A or B AB Mom AB BB

Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a point mutation Fig17.22

Sickled and normal red blood cells

Sickle-Cell Anemia: A dominant or recessive allele? S=sickle-cell H=normal Mom = HS Dad = HS Dad H or S possible offspring 75% Normal 25% Sickle-cell HS HH H or S Mom HS SS
