  1. Chapter 9.2 Genetic Crosses

  2. Genotype and Phenotype • RECALL: All traits are found in genes made of DNA • An organisms genetic makeup (DNA, genes, chromosomes) is called its genotype • This consists of the alleles that an organism inherits from its parents • Example: white-flowering pea plant = pp • Purple-flowering pea plant = either Pp or PP • An organisms physical appearance based on the genotype is called is phenotype (physical)

  3. Homozygous or Heterozygous • When an organism has two of the SAME alleles for a gene, it is called homozygous (PP or pp) • When the two alleles of a gene are DIFFERENT, it is called heterozygous (Pp)

  4. Probability • Probability: The likelihood that a specific event will occur • These are usually expressed as a decimal, percentage or fraction: • Probability = number of times an event is expected to happen/number of times an event could happen • In Mendel’s experiments, the recessive trait is expected to be seen in the F2 generation 0.25 or 25% of the time (1/4); the dominant trait is expected 0.75 or 75% of the time (3/4)

  5. Monohybrid Crosses • Based on the probabilities that Mendel put into place, we can make predictions about the outcomes of genetic crosses • Monohybrid cross: A cross where only ONE characteristic is tracked • We use Punnett squares in order to diagram crosses and predict the outcomes of the cross • So, now we will explore some examples of monohybrid crosses (pgs 182-184 in textbook)

  6. Example 1: FlowersHomozygous Purple (PP) X Homozygous White (pp) p p P P

  7. Example 2: Guinea PigsHomozygous Black (BB) X Heterozygous Black (Bb) b B B B

  8. Example 3: RabbitsHeterozygous Black (Bb) X Heterozygous Black (Bb) b B B b

  9. Example 4:Testcross 1 In guinea pigs, BOTH BB and Bb give a black color. So, if a guinea pig is black, how do you know if it’s homozygous dominant or heterozygous? We do a TESTCROSS!

  10. Example 4:Testcross 2 In guinea pigs, BOTH BB and Bb give a black color. So, if a guinea pig is black, how do you know if it’s homozygous dominant or heterozygous? We do a TESTCROSS!

  11. Example 5: FlowersIncomplete Dominance Incomplete dominance occurs when a heterozygote is a mixture of the homozygotes. r R R r

  12. Example 6: Blood TypingCodominance Codominance occurs when there is no dominant or recessive allele. Each allele is an equal, BUT there is NO MIXTURE! Blood types are a great example. LN LM LM LM

  13. Dihybrid Crosses • We learned how to do many types of monohybrid crosses • There are really only a couple of types of dihybrid crosses • A Dihybrid Cross is a cross where TWO characteristics are tracked instead of just one • These are a little bit more complicated, but we still use Punnett Squares in order to tract them

  16. PRACTICE! • To practice your Punnett squares, please complete the following questions in your book. If you would like more practice, it can be arranged • Page 188 - #s 12, 14, 16, 17
