  1. Genetics – Life’s Blueprint

  2. The Theory of Blended Traits Why wasn’t it a good theory? Before Mendel

  3. Mendel and his Peas • The Seven Traits • Flower Color • purple vs white • Flower placement • axial vs terminal • Seed Color • yellow vs green • Seed Shape • round vs wrinkled • Pod Shape • plump vs wavy • Pod Color • green vs yellow • Stem Length • tall vs dwarf 1822 - 1884

  4. Mendel First Cross

  5. Observation - There is more than one version of a trait. (Each version is called an allele) • Law – • Each organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent • One allele “dominates” when present • The other allele “recedes” when the dominant allele is present Mendel’s First Law – the Law of Segregation

  6. Mendel First Cross

  7. Punnet Squares

  8. Punnet Squares

  9. Punnet Squares – Test Cross

  10. Given the parents’ genotypes what are the offsprings’ possible phenotypes and ratios? • Given the parents’ phenotypes and the offsprings phenotypic ratios, what are the parents’ genotypes? Simple Mendelian Problems

  11. Observation – When two traits are followed, they don’t always stay together • Law – • Each pair of alleles segregates independently of • the other pairs of alleles during gamete formation Mendel’s Second Law – the Law of Independent Assortment

  12. Punnet Squares – Two Traits

  13. Punnet Squares – Two Traits

  14. Punnet Squares – Two Traits

  15. Phenotypic Probabilities

  16. Given the parents’ genotypes what are the offsprings’ possible phenotypes and ratios? • Given the parents’ phenotypes and the offsprings phenotypic ratios, what are the parents’ genotypes? Multiple Trait Problems
