Genetic Crosses Introducing: The Mendaliens!
Phenotype vs. Genotype Phenotype – what the organism looks like Red protein Red flower + Red protein Phenotypes White protein White flower + White protein
Phenotype vs. Genotype Genotype – what alleles does the organism have? Red protein Red flower + Red protein Genotypes White protein White flower + White protein
Use letters for convenience “R” for red allele “W” for white allele
RR WW RW homozygous homozygous heterozygous
Time to have kids! A parent gives ONE from each pair of chromosomes to a child.
In your cells In your egg (or sperm)
Plant parents: RW RW RR RW Plant babies could get: WW WR
+ +
Use “T” for tall plant (capital letter because it’s dominant over the other allele) Use “t” for short plant (lowercase letter because it’s Recessive to the other allele)
Plant parents: TT tt Tt Tt Plant babies could get: Tt Tt
Plant parents: Tt Tt TT Tt Plant babies could get: tt Tt
TT Tt tt Tt Genotypes ¼ TT ½ Tt ¼ tt Phenotypes ¾ tall ¼ short
To make life easier may I introduce:The Punnett square! Option 1 from mom Option 2 from mom Option 1 from dad Kid Kid Option 2 from dad Kid Kid
(Tt) T t T TT Tt t tt Tt (Tt)
What about two traits at once? Phenotype: Pink and tall Genotype RW for color Tt Genotype for height
Remember, a egg (or sperm) gets one of each pair of chromosomes, but it’s a crapshoot as to which of the pair will be chosen R W RT WT T t Wt Rt
RT Rt WT Wt RT RRTT RRTt RWTT RWTt Rt RRTt RWtt Rrtt RWTt WT RWTT RWTt WWTT WWTt Wt RWTt RWtt WWTt WWtt
Mendalien Problem #1 h H In MendAliens, normal head top is dominant to Bart head top, in which the top of the head is jagged. Suppose a MendAlien homozygous for normal head shape is crossed with one homozygous for Bart head shape. HH hh
