  1. History of Genetics Biology

  2. Genetics • How characteristics are transmitted from parents to offspring

  3. Gregor Mendel

  4. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) • worked with Pisum satium (pea plant)

  5. Mendel studied 7 characteristics • Flower color • Flower position along stem • Seed color • Seed shape • Pod shape • Pod color • Stem length

  6. Mendel’s Experiments • Mendel’s First Cross • Crossed “purebred” purple • with “purebred” white • + P (parent) generation • - F1 – purple • Crossed F1 hybrids • + produced F2 generation • - 3 purple : 1 white

  7. Mendel’s Ideas of Inheritance • Alternative versions of genes (alleles) account for variations in inherited characters. • + each gene resides at a particular location of a chromosome and can exist in variable forms (two different forms for flower color) P Pp p

  8. Mendel’s Ideas of Inheritance • For each characteristic, an organism inherits two alleles, • one from each parent. • + an organism is either homozygous (two of the same alleles) or heterozygous (two different alleles) Homozygous Heterozygous

  9. Mendel’s Ideas of Inheritance • If the two alleles differ, the dominant allele is fully expressed and the recessive allele has no noticeable affect on appearance. • + heterozygotes express the dominant trait RR rr Rr

  10. Mendel’s Law of Segregation • The two alleles for each character segregate during • gamete production. • + ovum/sperm get only one of the two alleles (haploid)

  11. P generation Phenotype: Purple/White Genotype: PP/pp F1 generation Phenotype: Purple Genotype: Pp F2 generation? Genotype/Phenotype can be predicted using a Punnet Square

  12. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment Each pair of alleles segregates into gametes independently. WH wh Wh wH

  14. Beyond Mendel... Different Types of Inheritance:

  15. Complete Dominance Incomplete Dominance Mendel’s Traits Snapdragon Color

  16. Incomplete Dominance One allele does not dominant the other in the heterozygous condition. Both alleles are expressed but a new phenotype appears that is intermediate. RR Rr rr

  17. Codominance Both alleles in the Heterozygous condition are dominant. CC Cc cc

  18. Codominance & Multiple Alleles

  19. Incomplete Dominance
