  1. Genetics

  2. Incomplete Dominance • Where neither the dominant or recessive allele is truly dominant over the other, both are dominant

  3. Incomplete Dominance • The heterozygote will “blend” the two traits into an intermediate third trait • RED Flower x WHITE Flower ---> PINK Flower

  4. Incomplete Dominance • Because neither allele is dominant over the other, we use a large base letter indicating the character and a capital superscript showing trait CR CRfor red flower CW CWfor white flower One allele from each parent is passed on. A cross would produce CR CW which is pink phenotype.

  5. It’s important to know when you’re dealing with incomplete dominance *notice that the offspring is showing 3rd phenotype *notice that the trait in offspring is a blending of parental traits

  6. Codominance • Similar to incomplete dominance because it too creates a 3rd phenotype, different from parents. • Parental traits don’t blend, instead the two traits appear together in a hybrid redandwhite-->red&whitespotted

  7. Here’s an example of a codominant flower showing both parental pink and white traits.

  9. Human Blood Types • Antigen- molecules that can trigger an immune response • A carries A antigen • B carries B antigen • AB has both antigens • O carries neither antigen Rh Factor; Rh+ carry this antigen, while Rh- individuals don’t. • In transfusions, a new antigen cannot be introduced into the body of recipient

  10. How common is your blood type? 46.1% 38.8% 11.1% 3.9%

  11. O A B AB • Who can give you blood? • People with TYPE O blood are called Universal Donors, because they can give blood to any blood type. • People with TYPE AB blood are called Universal Recipients, because they can receive any blood type. • Rh +  Can receive + or - • Rh -  Can only receive - Universal Donor Universal Recipient

  12. Polygenic Inheritance • When multiple genes affect a single character, variation • Height, weight, eye color, skin color • Suppose ABC were 3 “TALL” alleles and abc were 3 “short” alleles • Someone with genotype AABBCC would be very tall, while someone with genotype AaBBCC would be slightly less tall

  13. AB: Dark Red plants ab: white plants Wide RANGE of phenotypes

  14. Environment Influence on Phenotype • Sometimes an organisms phenotype depends on their environment regardless of genotype • For example, hydrangea flowers of the same genotype range from blue-violet to pink, depending on soil acidity

  15. An enzyme responsible for dark fur is only active at cooler temperatures like cat’s extremities

  16. Gene Linkage • Genes on separate chromosomes assort and separate independently from each other • Genes located on SAME chromosome and close together (close gene-loci) tend to be inherited together. * Genetic linkage • If genes are far apart, but on the same chromosome, crossing over could separate them

  17. Sex-Linked Genes • Any gene located on an sex chromosome is a sex-linked gene • In humans, most of these are on the X chromosome (much bigger than Y)

  18. Hemophilia: X-linked genetic RECESSIVE disorder h H h

  19. Mother is a carrier H H h H h h H H H

  20. FATHER IS A CARRIER h H H H h H

  21. Red-green color blindness • X-linked color blind allele is recessive • Heterozygous females have normal vision • Males who get recessive allele in their only X chromosome are affected.

  22. X-linked recessive disorders are more common in men than women • Women need 2 recessive alleles on each of her X chromosomes to be affected • Men only need 1 recessive allele on his only X chromosome to be affected
