  1. Mendelian Genetics

  2. Gregor Mendel • Before Mendel • Blended Theory of inheritance • Should reach uniform appearance • Mendel discovered the particulate theory of inheritance • University of Vienna • Garden peas

  3. Pea Experiments • Flower color • Purple or white • Flower position • Axial or Terminal • Seed color • Yellow or Green • Seed shape • Wrinkled or round • Pod Shape • Inflated or constricted • Pod Color • Green or yellow • Stem Length • Tall or dwarf

  4. Pea Experiments • Produced True Breeding plant varieties • Always produced same offspring • True breeding parents are called P generation • Hybrid offspring of the P generation is called the F1 • If they are fertilized and produce offspring the offspring are called the F2

  5. Law of Segregation • Two alleles are packed into separate gametes. • Dominance • Recessive • P or p • T or t

  6. Terms • Homozygous • Heterozygous • Phenotype • Genotype • Testcross

  7. Law of Independent Assortment • Each pair of alleles segregates to the gametes independently.

  8. Practice • Monohybrid • Dihybrid • Phenotypic Ratios • Genotypic Ratios

  9. Rules of Probability • Rule of Multiplication • The probability that independent events will occur simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities. • Question: cross plants that are heterozygous for flower color. What is probability of them being homozygous recessive?

  10. Rules of Probabilty • Answer: • Probability that egg will get a p • ½ • Probabiltity that sperm will get a p • ½ • Answer • ½ x ½ = ¼

  11. Rules of probabiltiy • Dihybrid answer • YyRr x YyRr • Probability of YYRR • Egg have Y and R • ½ x ½ = ¼ • Sperm have Y and R • ½ x ½ = ¼ • ¼ x ¼ = 1/16

  12. Rules of Probabiltity • Rule of Addition • The probabilty of an event that can occur in two or more independent ways is the sum of the separate probabilities of the different ways.

  13. Rules of Probabiltiy • Cross two Heterozygous for flower color. What is the probability that the offspring is heterozygous? • Two ways to be hetero. Either mom give P or p or Dad give P or p • Dom Egg with Rec Sperm • ½ x ½ = 1/4

  14. Rules of Probabiltiy • Dom sperm with rec egg • ½ x ½ = ¼ • Overall ¼ + ¼ = 2/4 = ½

  15. Extending Mendel • Incomplete Dominance • Four O’clock Flowers • Incomplete Dominance vs Codominance • MN blood groups • Dominance doesn’t have to do with which can subdue the other, but rather a phenotypic expression.

  16. Extending Mendel • Multiple Allele Traits • ABO • An individual only gets two out of the possible alleles.

  17. Extending Mendel • Polygenic inheritance • Quantitative characters • Skin color • AABBCC dark • AaBbCc intermediate • aabbcc light

  18. Nature vs. Nurture • Environmental impact on phenotype • Altitude on blood etc… • Behavior • Phenotype integrates the environment and the genotype.

  19. Pedigree • Review various pedigrees to determine • Dominant • Recessive • Consanguinity • Autosomal • Sex linked • Non-nuclear inheritance

  20. Pedigree Symbols

  21. Dominant Pedigree

  22. Recessive Pedigree

  23. X linked Pedigree

  24. X Linked Pedigree

  25. Non-Nuclear

  26. Human genetics • If two people were getting ready to have children but each had a sibling die of a the same recessive disease, what would be the probability of each being a carrier? What about each at the same time?

  27. How do you tell a person carries? • Fetal Testing • Amniocentesis • Chorionic Villus sampling • Ultrasound • Fetoscopy • Newborn screening • PKU
