  1. Chap. 11/14 Genetics or Why do you look Like that!?!

  2. Trait Inventory ActivityPart 1 • Complete H.O. on traits of peers • Write “yes” or “no” based on what you see! • How are we all alike? (trait) • How do some of us differ? (characteristic) • Part II later!!

  3. I. Meiosis - Reduction Division • Produces gametes… • Gametes are 1n/haploid… • In males – 4 sperm cells produced • In females – 1 egg cell and 3 polar bodies (“duds”) produced.

  4. Recall… • Mitosis … • Somatic cells/body cells… • 2n/diploid…

  5. Terms- • Homologous pairs – original chromosome pair and their copies. • Tetrad – chromosome pair & corresponding homologous pair • A tetrad contains 4 chromatids

  6. II. Gregor Mendel – • “Father of genetics” • Pea plants… • Characteristics and traits • Some characteristics were visible, some were not • Ex. Plant height – tall or short…

  7. 3 Principles of Genetics • They are based on alleles – contrasting genes that determine a trait. • Ex. BLUE vs BROWN EYES

  8. *A. Principle of Segregation – • Alleles segregate/separate • Occurs during meiosis…

  9. *B. Prin. of Independent Assortment – • Alleles are randomly arranged • Ex. Trait “a” is not dependant on trait “b”

  10. *C. Prin. Of Genes and Dominance – • One allele “hides“ another. • Dominant… • Recessive… • Fig. 11-3

  11. III. Crash course in crossing • P1 – original parents with pure traits – called true • F1 – first generation with a mix of parent traits – hybrids • F2 – second generation with a mix of their parents traits

  12. A. Punnett squares - • Predicts… • Tells the – • Genotype … • Phenotype …

  13. Capitals represent dominant characteristics • AA, BB • Lower case represent recessive characteristics • aa bb

  14. Purebred means two identical alleles • GG, mm, • Can be dominant or recessive • This is homozygous • “same trait/allele”

  15. Hybrid means two different alleles • Nn,Oo • Will always be dominant --- why???) • This is heterozygous • “different trait/allele”

  16. B. Types: • Monohybrid cross - “One trait; one letter” • Dihybrid cross - “Two traits; two letters”

  17. V. Gene expression is… • Based on the environment, and the effect of other genes. • Toxins, disease, drugs… • “Nature vs nurture” • Over/under nutrition • Soil acidity & flower color

  18. Dominant Alleles • Conditions that are expressed provided one dominant allele is present • Ex. PP or Pp – Tall plants • HH or Hh – Huntington’s disease

  19. B. Recessive Alleles • Trait is expressed provided two recessive alleles are present. • Ex. tt – short plants • In humans … • tt – Tay-sachs • aa - albinism

  20. C. Incomplete Dominance - • There is no dominance. • The heterozygous genotype shows a mix of both phenotypes. • Ex. White and red roses make pink roses.

  21. D. Codominance – • A type of incomplete dominance. • Both alleles share dominance & are expressed in the organism. • Ex. Roan cattle have both red and white fur.\ • In humans – sickle-cell anemia

  22. Codominance in humans … • Expressed in varying degrees • Sickle-cell anemia • Person is either unaffected, a carrier, or affected

  23. E. Multiple Alleles – • Genes that have more than 2 possible alleles - C, cch, ch, c • Each allele being expressed, not contrasting like in peas! • Ex. Rabbit fur – p. 273

  24. Multiple Alleles in humans… • Blood types • A • B • AB (universal receiver) • O (universal donor) • Could be + or -

  25. F. Polygenic traits – • “Many genes”– traits due to the interaction of more than 3 genes. • These traits tend to “blend” from one extreme to the other. • Ex. Skin/fur color, eye color…. Very dark to very light

  26. Polygenic traits in humans • Height • Healthy weight • All vary from one to the other extreme

  27. G. Determing Sex • Only one X is required for survival. • XX – female • XY - male

  28. H. Sex-linked Conditions – • Traits that are linked or found on the X or Y chromosomes • Ex. Colorblindness, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy • Y – says “just make me a boy!” P.350

  29. VI. Determining Genetics • A. Karyotype - picture of an individual’s chromosomes • Homologous chromosomes are paired & analyzed

  30. B. Pedigree • Family record that shows how a trait is inherited over several generations. • Identifies the carriers, those that are normal, & the affected individuals.

  31. VII. MUTATIONS & HUMAN GENETICS A. CHROMOSOMAL MUTATIONS affect the entire chromosome • May be deletion, duplication, inversion, or translocation B. NUCLEOTIDE MUTATION • Affects the nucleotide of DNA which makes the chromosome

  32. C. NONDISJUNCTION • Homologous chromosomes do not separate during meiosis. • Some effects may or may not be lethal. • Autosomal chromosome: • Ex. Down syndrome - due to trisomy 21 - having 3 of #21 chromosomes

  33. Can affect sex chromosomes • Turner’s Syndrome – XO – affects females • Klienfelter’s Syndrome – XXY- affects males

  34. Chromosomes carry the alleles that produce the trait that makes you look the way you do!!!
