  1. Extensions to Mendel Mendel was right…. But not for every situation…

  2. Going beyond Mendel • So far you have learned about Mendel’s Dominance-Recessive Mode of Inheritance… but this is not the only method of inheritance. • Codominance • Incomplete Dominance • X-linked traits • Multiple Alleles • Polygenic Traits

  3. Codominance • Both alleles are dominant and are fully expressed. • Examples: • Coat color in cattle • Human blood types • Cat fur

  4. Codominance Example : Cattle coat color • Red (RR) • White (WW) • Roan (RW)

  5. Punnett Squares with Codominance Cross a white heifer with a red bull • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they will contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  6. Punnett Squares with Codominance Cross a white heifer with a red bull W W Results: 100% WR Roan R WR WR WR WR R

  7. Punnett Squares with Codominance Cross two Roans • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they will contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  8. Punnett Squares with Codominance Cross two Roans WRx WR Results R W 25% White (WW) 50% Roan (WR) 25% Red (RR) W WW WR WR RR R

  9. Both alleles contribute to the phenotype….

  10. Incomplete Dominance • Neither allele is dominant. If both alleles are present than the phenotype will be an intermediate. • Example: • snapdragons flower colors (red, white, pink) • Hair texture (wavy, straight, curly)

  11. Incomplete Dominance Example: Snapdragons • Red (RR) • White (rr) • Pink (Rr)

  12. Punnett Squares with Incomplete Dominance Cross a White Snapdragon with a Red Snapdragon • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they will contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  18. X-linked Traits (a.k.a. sex linked) • Traits that are located on the X-chromosome • Examples: • color-blindness color blind test • Hemophilia (blood-clotting disorder) • Calico and tortoise-shell cats • Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy

  19. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits A man with hemophilia marries a woman who is homozygous normal. In hemophilia: H - Dominant (no hemophilia)h - recessive (hemophilia)

  20. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits A man with hemophilia (h) marries a woman who is homozygous normal. • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they will contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  21. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits A man with hemophilia marries a woman who is homozygous normal. • Dad: XhY Results: Girls: (XHXh) all will be carriers with no hemophilia • Boys: (XHY) all will be normal. Xh Y • Mom : XHXH XHXh • XH XHY • XH XHXh XHY

  22. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits • Lets look at color blindness – another X-linked trait. • In color blindness: • B is dominant (not color blind) • b is recessive (color blind)

  23. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits A boy inherits his color-blindness from his mother NOT his father. Create a punnett square to show this. . . • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they will contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  24. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits So how would a boy inherit color-blindness? Create a punnett square to test your theory. • Dad: XBY Results: • 25% XBXB normal girl • 25% XBXbcarrier girl • 25% XBY normal boy • 25% XbYcolor-blind boy XB Y • Mom : XBXb XBXB • XB XBY • Xb XBXb XbY

  25. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits Even though it is rare, girls can be color-blind if they inherit it from BOTH parents! • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they wll contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  26. Punnett Squares with X-linked traits Can girls be color-blind? How would could that happen? Create a punnet square showing your theory. Dad: XbY Results: • 25% XBXb carrier girl • 25% XbXb color-blind girl • 25% XBY normal boy • 25% XbYcolor-blind boy Xb Y • Mom : XBXb XBXb • XB XBY • Xb XbXb XbY

  27. Multiple Alleles • There are more than 2 alleles, present in a certain population, for a given trait. • This person will only have two alleles even though there are more than two possibilities! • Examples: • Rabbit fur color • Human blood types

  28. Punnett Squares with Multiple Alleles Rabbit Coat Colors • The brown allele (C) is dominant. • The light brown allele (cch) is dominant to ch and c. • The Himalayan allele (white with dark extremities) (ch) is dominant to c. • The albino allele (c) is recessive. C > cch> ch> c

  29. Punnett Squares with multiple alleles What would be the result of a cross between an albino rabbit and a light brown rabbit with a albino parent? • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they wll contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  30. Punnett Squares with Multiple Alleles Possible Genotypes • Brown (4): CC, Ccch, Cch, Cc • Light brown (3): cchcch, cchch, cchc. • Himalayan (2): chch, chc • Albino (1): cc C > cch> ch> c

  31. Punnett Squares with multiple alleles Results: 50% cchclight brown 50% cc albino • Albino c c • Light brown cch cchc cchc c cc cc

  32. Punnett Squares with multiple alleles • What would be the result of a light brown rabbit (with an albino mother) crossed with a heterozygous himalayan rabbit? • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they wll contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  33. Punnett Squares with multiple alleles Results: 25% cchch light brown 25% cchc light brown 25% chchimalayan 25% cc albino • What would be the result of a light brown rabbit (with analbino mother) crossed with a himalayan rabbit? • Light brown: cchc • Himalayan: chc cch c cchch chc ch cc c cchc

  34. Polygenic Traits • A trait that is controlled by two or more genes. • Will manifest as a range of phenotypes.

  35. Polygenic Traits • Examples include • Eyecolor • Height • Skin color

  36. Punnett Squares with polygenic traits • Even though eyecolor is controlled by at least three genes, we really understand how brown/blue/green colors work as controlled by two genes… • Eyecolor: • Gene 1: the green/blue eye color gene is located on chromosome 19. • Green is dominant (G) , blue is recessive (g) • Gene 2:the central brown eye color gene is located on chromosome 15. • Brown is dominant (B) , blue is recessive (b)

  37. Punnett Squares with polygenic traits • Eyecolor: • Gene 1:green is dominant (G), , blue is recessive (g) • Gene 2:brown is dominant (B),blue is recessive (b) Brown eyecolor: BBGG, BBGg, BbGg, Bbgg Green eyecolor:bbGG, bbGg Blue eyecolor:bbgg Brown > Green > Blue

  38. Punnett Squares with polygenic traits What would be the result of a cross between a blue-eyed person (recessive for both genes) and a brown-eyed person (heterozygous for both genes) • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they will contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  39. Punnett Squares with polygenic traits Results: Brown > Green > Blue • bbgg bg BG BbGg • BbGg Bbgg Bg bG bbGg bg bbgg

  40. Punnett Squares with polygenic traits • What is the result when a brown-eyed man (heterozygous for both genes) is crossed with a heterozygous green eyed woman? • a. Determine the genotypes of the parents and the gametes they wll contribute to their offspring. • b. Set up your punnett square . . .

  41. Punnett Squares with polygenic traits Results:Geno: Pheno:1/8 BbGG4/8 brown 2/8 BbGg3/8 green 1/8 Bbgg1/8 blue 1/8 bbGG 2/8 bbGg 1/8 bbgg • BbGg X bbGg bG bg BG BbGG BbGg Bg BbGg Bbgg bG bbGG bbGg bg bbGg bbgg

  42. Polygenic trait – Skin color Hypothetically found on 3 genes: Human Genome project proposes its actually found on many more.

  43. “Notable Notes”

  44. Pleiotropy • Exact opposite of polygenic inheritance: A single gene affects many phenotypic characteristics • Example: Sickle-cell allele • When present on both homologous chromosomes can cause sickle-cell anemia • Heterozygotes areresistant to malaria(why allele has survived)

  45. Pleiotropy 1 GENE Can affect MANY phenotypes

  46. Linked genes • The number of genes in a cell is far greater than the number of chromosomes; in fact, each chromosome has hundreds or thousands of genes. • Genes located close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together and are called linked genes. • Linked genes generally do not follow Mendel’s law of independent assortment.

  47. Gene mapping • Thomas Hunt Morgan • Drosophila fly (fruit fly) • Used % outcome of crossing over (recombination frequency) to map out where genes loci (location) are on chromosomes

  48. Genetics and Your Environment Many characteristics (phenotypes) result from a combination of heredity and environment. For humans, nutrition influences height; exercise alters build; sun-tanning darkens the skin, and experience improves performance on intelligence tests. Risk of heart disease and cancer and susceptibility to alcoholism and schizophrenia–are influenced by both genes and environment.
