  1. Chapter 13Observing Patterns in Inherited Traits

  2. 13.1 Menacing Mucus • Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disorder in the United States • The CFTR gene encodes CFTR protein which maintains a thin film of water on the surface of the epithelial sheets • A deletion of three base pairs (ΔF508, deletion) prevents proper membrane trafficking of CFTR so it can’t do its job • Mucus obstructs the airways and bacteria infect the intestine and lungs – most CF patients live no longer than thirty years

  4. 13.2 Mendel, Pea Plants, and Inheritance Patterns • Recurring inheritance patterns are observable evidence of how heredity works • Before the discovery of genes, it was thought that inherited traits resulted from a blend of parental characters

  5. Mendel’s Experimental Approach • Gregor Mendel was a monk with training in plant breeding and mathematics • He studied the garden pea (Pisum sativum), which breeds true for a number of traits • Mendel discovered that traits of offspring of cross-fertilized pea plants often appear in predictable patterns • Mendel’s work led him to conclude that hereditary information passes from one generation to the next in discrete units

  9. Terms Used in Modern Genetics • Genes are heritable units of information about traits • Each gene has a specificlocuson a chromosome • Diploid cells (chromosome number 2n) have pairs of genes on homologous chromosomes • Alleles are different molecular forms of a gene

  16. Terms Used in Modern Genetics • The particular set of alleles that an individual carries is the individual’s genotype • An individual with two identical alleles of a gene is homozygous for that gene • An individual with nonidentical alleles of a gene is heterozygous for that gene

  17. Terms Used in Modern Genetics • A hybrid is the heterozygote offspring of a cross between two individuals that breed true for different forms of a trait • An individual’s genotype determines its phenotype, which refers to an individual’s observable traits • Any mutated gene is a new allele, whether or not it affects phenotype

  18. Terms Used in Modern Genetics • An allele is dominantif its effect masks the effect of a recessive allele paired with it • Capital letters (P) signify dominant alleles; lowercase letters (p) signify recessive alleles • Homozygous dominant(PP) • Homozygous recessive(pp) • Heterozygous(Pp)

  19. Genotypes Give Rise to Phenotypes PP (homozygous for dominant allele P) pp (homozygous for recessive allele p) Pp (heterozygous at the P gene locus) genotype: phenotype:

  20. Take-Home Message:How do alleles contribute to traits? • Gregor Mendel discovered the role of alleles in inheritance by breeding pea plants and tracking traits of their offspring • Genotype refers to the particular set of alleles carried by an individual’s somatic cell; phenotype refers to the individual’s set of observable traits; genotype is the basis of phenotype • A homozygous individual has two identical alleles at a particular locus; a heterozygous individual has nonidentical alleles at the locus • Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive ones in heterozygous individuals

  21. 13.3 Mendel’s Law of Segregation • Pairs of genes on homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis, so they end up in different gametes • Mendel showed that garden pea plants inherit two “units” of information for a trait, one from each parent

  22. Gene Segregation • Homologous chromosomes (and all the alleles they carry) segregate into separate gametes during meiosis • Plants homozygous for the dominant allele (PP) can only make gametes that carry the allele P • Plants homozygous for the recessive allele (pp) can only make gametes that carry the allele p • Heterozygous plants produce both type of gametes

  23. Calculating Probabilities • Probability • A measure of the chance that a particular outcome will occur • Punnett square • A grid used to calculate the probability of genotypes and phenotypes in offspring

  26. Testcrosses • A testcross is a method of determining if an individual is heterozygous or homozygous dominant • An individual with unknown genotype is crossed with one that is homozygous recessive (PP x pp) or (Pp x pp)

  27. Monohybrid Crosses • A monohybrid crossis a testcross that checks for a dominance relationship between two alleles at a single locus • May be a cross between true breeding (homozygous) individuals (PP x pp), or between identical heterozygotes (Pp x Pp)

  28. Generations in a Monohybrid Cross • P stands for parents,Ffor filial (offspring) • F1: First generation offspring of parents • F2: Second generation offspring of parents

  29. Mendel’s Monohybrid Crosses • Mendel used monohybrid crosses to find dominance relationships among pea plant traits • When he crossed plants that bred true for white flowers with plants that bred true for purple flowers, all F1 plants had purple flowers • When he crossed two F1 plants, ¾ of the F2 plants had purple flowers, ¼ had white flowers

  33. Mendel’s Law of Segregation • Mendel observed a phenotype ratio of 3:1 in the F2 offspring of his monohybrid crosses • Consistent with the probability of the pp genotype in the offspring of a heterozygous cross (Pp x Pp) • This is the basis of Mendel’s law ofsegregation • Diploid cells have pairs of genes on pairs of homologous chromosomes • The two genes of each pair separate during meiosis, and end up in different gametes

  34. Take-Home Message:What is Mendel’s law of segregation? • Diploid cells carry pairs of genes, on pairs of homologous chromosomes • The two genes of each pair are separated from each other during meiosis, so they end up in different gametes • Mendel discovered patterns of inheritance in pea plants by tracking the results of many monohybrid crosses

  36. 13.4 Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment • Mendel’s law of independent assortment • During meiosis, members of a pair of genes on homologous chromosomes get distributed into gametes independently of other gene pairs

  37. Dihybrid Crosses • Dihybrid crossestest for dominance relationships between alleles at two loci • Individuals that breed true for two different traits are crossed (PPTT x pptt) • F2 phenotype ratio is 9:3:3:1 (four phenotypes) • Individually, each dominant trait has an F2 ratio of 3:1 – inheritance of one trait does not affect inheritance of the other

  38. The Contribution of Crossovers • Independent assortment also occurs when the genes are on the same chromosome, but far enough apart that crossing over occurs between them very frequently • Genes that have loci very close to one another on a chromosome tend to stay together during meiosis and not assort independently

  39. Linkage Groups • All genes on one chromosome are called a linkage group • The farther apart two genes are on a chromosome, the more often crossing over occurs between them • Linked genes are very close together; crossing over rarely occurs between them • The probability that a crossover will separate alleles of two genes is proportional to the distance between those genes

  40. Take-Home Message: What is Mendel’s law of independent assortment? • Each member of a pair of genes on homologous chromosomes tends to be distributed into gametes independently of how other genes are distributed during meiosis

  43. 13.5 Beyond Simple Dominance • Mendel focused on traits based on clearly dominant and recessive alleles; however, the expression patterns of genes for some traits are not as straightforward

  44. Codominance • Codominance • Two nonidentical alleles of a gene are both fully expressed in heterozygotes, so neither is dominant or recessive • May occur in multiple allele systems • Multiple allele systems • Genes with three or more alleles in a population • Example: ABO blood types

  45. Codominance in ABO Blood Types AA or AO BB or BO Genotypes: AB OO Phenotypes (blood type): A AB B O

  46. Incomplete Dominance • Incomplete dominance • One allele is not fully dominant over its partner • The heterozygote’s phenotype is somewhere between the two homozygotes, resulting in a 1:2:1 phenotype ratio in F2 offspring • Example: Snapdragon color • RR is red • Rr is pink • rr is white

  50. Epistasis • Epistasis • Two or more gene products influence a trait • Typically, one gene product suppresses the effect of another • Example: Coat color in dogs • Alleles B and b designate colors (black or brown) • Two recessive alleles ee suppress color
