Mendelian InheritancePart 1 BIO 2215 Oklahoma City Community College Dennis Anderson
Gregor Mendel • Father of Genetics • 1823-1884 • Monk in Austria • Experimented with garden peas
Tall Tall Short
Mendel’s Hypotheses • Each parent has two factors (alleles) • Each parent gives one of those factors to the offspring • Tall has TT • Short has tt • Tall is dominant • Short is recessive
T t Tt TT tt
T T TT TT TT
t t tt tt tt
Law of Segregation • Alleles separate during gamete production • Gametes have one allele for each trait • During fertilization gametes combine at random to form individuals of the next generation
Discovery of Chromosomes in 1900 Confirmed Law of Segregation • Chromosomes are in pairs • Each chromosome has one of the allele pair
Meiosis Metaphase Chromosomes line up in a double row. T T t t Assume a T allele on each red chromatid and a t allele on each blue chromatid
Chromosomes separate Each each daughter cell gets doubled chromosomes t t T T
Doubled Chromosomes Separate in Second Meiotic Division T T t t
Allele • Member of a paired gene • One allele comes from each parent • Represented by a single letter
Dominant & Recessive Alleles • Dominant alleles are expressed • Recessive alleles are not expressed in the presence of a dominant allele • Recessive alleles are only expressed if both recessive alleles are present
Gene • A unit of heredity that controls the development of one trait • Made of DNA • Most genes are composed of two alleles
Homozygous • Both alleles alike • AA or aa
Heterozygous • Alleles are different • Aa
Genotype • Genetic make up • Represented by alleles • TT & Tt are genotypes for tall pea plants
Phenotype • A trait • Genotype determines the phenotype • Tall is a phenotype
Homologous Chromosomes • Chromosomes of the same pair • Each homologue will have one allele for a paired gene • Homologous chromosomes pair up during meiosis • Only one of each homologue will be in each gamete
Sickle Cell Anemia • RBCs sickle shaped • Anemia • Pain • Stroke • Leg ulcers • Jaundice • Gall stones • Spleen, kidney & lungs
Sickle Cell Anemia • Recessive allele s, codes for hemoglobin S • Long rod-like molecules • Stretches RBC into sickle shape • Homozygous recessive ss, have sickle cell anemia • Heterozygous Ss, are carriers
Albinism • Lack of pigment • Skin • Hair • Eyes
a A AA = Normal pigmentation Aa = Normal pigmentation aa = Albino Enzyme Amino Acids Melanin Pigment
PKU Disease • Phenylalanine excess • Mental retardation if untreated
p P PP = Normal Pp = Normal pp = PKU Enzyme Phenylalanine Tyrosine
Monohybrid Cross or One Trait A man & woman are both carriers (heterozygous) for albinism. What is the chance their children will inherit albinism?
AA = Normal pigmentation Aa = Normal pigmentation (carrier) aa = Albino A A a a Man = Aa Woman = Aa
A A a a Aa AA Aa aa
Aa AA Aa aa Genotypes 1 AA, 2Aa, 1aa Phenotypes 3 Normal 1 Abino Probability 25% for albinism
A man & woman are both carriers (heterozygous) for PKU disease. What is the chance their children will inherit PKU disease?
PP = Normal Pp = Normal (carrier) pp = PKU disease Pp PP Pp pp P p P p
Pp PP Pp pp Genotypes 1 PP, 2Pp, 1pp Phenotypes 3 Normal 1 PKU disease Probability 25% for PKU disease
A man with sickle cell anemia marries a woman who is a carrier. What is the chance their children will inherit sickle cell anemia?
SS = Normal Ss = Normal (carrier) ss = Sickle Cell ss Ss Ss ss S s s s
ss Ss Ss ss Genotypes 2 Ss, 2ss Phenotypes 2 Normal (carriers) 2 Sickle cell Probability 50% for Sickle cell
Dwarfism Dwarfism = D Normal height = d DD = Dwarfism Dd = Dwarfism dd = Normal height Dwarf Band
A man with heterozygous dwarfism marries a woman who has normal height. What is the chance their children will inherit dwarfism? Dwarfism is dominant.
DD = Dwarf Dd = Dwarf dd = Normal Dd Dd dd dd d d D d
Dd Dd dd dd Genotypes 2 Dd, 2dd Phenotypes 2 Normal 2 Dwarfs Probability 50% for Dwarfism
Law of Independent Assortment • The inheritance of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another gene if they are on separate chromosomes. • The gene for albinism does not affect the gene for dwarfism
Dihybrid Cross or Two Traits • A heterozygous tall plant that is also heterozygous for yellow seeds is crossed with another plant with the same genotype • Tall and yellow seeds are dominant to short and green seeds.

X-linked Traits • Alleles on the X chromosome • Women have two alleles • Men have one allele
Hemophilia Blood clotting impaired Recessive allele, h carried on X cms X-linked recessive trait More common in males
