  1. Dihybrid Crosses andLaw of Independent Assortment

  2. Monohybrid cross • Mendel’s experiments followed the inheritance of single characters • E.g. flower color, seed color , etc. • monohybrid crosses

  3. Law of SegregationReview • During gamete formation, alleles segregate (separate) • only one of two allelles for a gene is put into a gamete. • At fertilization, offspring receive one allele for each gene from each parent. • alleles are on different chromosomes!

  4. Dihybrid cross • Other of Mendel’s experiments followed the inheritance of 2 different characters • seed color andseed shape • dihybrid crosses Mendelwas working outmany of the genetic rules!

  5. F1 generation (hybrids) yellow, round peas 100% F2 generation Dihybrid cross P true-breeding yellow, round peas true-breeding green, wrinkled peas x YYRR yyrr Y = yellow R = round y = green r = wrinkled YyRr self-pollinate 9:3:3:1 9/16 yellow round peas 3/16 green round peas 3/16 yellow wrinkled peas 1/16 green wrinkled peas

  6. YR YR yR Yr yr yr YyRr What’s going on here? • If alleles (different characteristics) are on different chromosomes… • Are alleles transmitted from parents to offspring together or independently? • Will the Y and R alleles always stay together, generation after generation? Is it this? Or this? YyRr Y and R alleles transmitted independently Which systemexplains the data? Y and R alleles transmitted together

  9. yellow green round wrinkled Can you thinkof an exceptionto this? Mendel’s 2nd law of heredity • Law of independent assortment • Each pair of alleles (different characteristics) segregate independently • non-homologous chromosomes align independently • only true if alleles (different characteristics) are on separate chromosomes (e.g. gene for colour on separate chromosome as gene for texture) YyRr Yr Yr yR yR YR YR yr yr

  10. Metaphase 1 Law of Independent Assortment • Which stage of meiosis creates the law of independent assortment? RememberMendel didn’teven know DNA—or genes—existed! EXCEPTION • If genes are on same chromosome & close together • will usually be inherited together • rarely crossover separately • “linked”

  11. Sample Problem In pea plants, the green colour allele (G) is dominant over the yellow colour allele (g) for seed colour and tall (T) is the dominant plant height. A pea plant that is heterozygous for both seed colour and height is crossed with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both. Determine the genotypic ratio for their offspring.

  12. gt gt gt gt Solution 1:1:1:1 GgTt ggtt x 4/16 = 1/4 green tall GT Gt gT gt 4/16 = 1/4 green short GgTt Ggtt ggTt ggtt Ggtt GgTt ggTt ggtt 4/16 = 1/4 yellow tall GgTt Ggtt ggTt ggtt 4/16 = 1/4 yellow short GgTt Ggtt ggTt ggtt

  13. What is the probability of getting an offspring that are heterozygous for both characters? A: They must be GgTt 4/16 = ¼ or 25%
