GENETICS
• Genetics is the study of how characteristics of living
things are transmitted from one generation of a
species to succeeding generations.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 3#1
CANADIAN CONTRIBUTION TO DNA
• In 1944, Canadian scientist, Oswald Avery,
confirmed that DNA is the material of inheritance.
• He proposed that a
large molecule found in
cells’ nuclei is responsible
for storing information
and passing it on.

*DNA*
• DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic
acid, and it is the inherited genetic
material found mainly in the nuclei
of the cells of living things.
• All living things contain DNA in their cells.
The DNA contains instructions for an
organisms’ characteristic features (i.e.
nose shape or hair colour, etc.).

FRANCIS CRICK & JAMES WATSON
• In 1953, JamesWatson and FrancisCrick revealed that the same chemical building blocks carry the instructions needed for the diversity in our living world.
• Awarded the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize for their discoveries of the structure of DNA.

THE STRUCTURE OF DNA
• The DNA molecule can be compared to a ladder that has been twisted into a continuous spiral.
• The vertical uprights of the twisted molecular ladder are identical all along its length.
• The overall shape of DNA is helical (like the coil binding on a spiral notebook or agenda).
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 8#3

THE STRUCTURE OF DNA (CONTINUED)
• The ‘rungs’ of DNA vary in composition.
• Each individual rung pairs up just two of the following four chemicals: • guanine (G)
• cytosine (C)
• adenine (A)
• thiamine (T)
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 9#3
THE FOUR CHEMICAL BASES OF DNA:G C A T
• This arrangement forms a code that
cells can read.

Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 11
THE STRUCTURE OF DNA (CONTINUED)
• The arrangement of these four chemicals, G, C,
A, and T, forms a code that cells can read.
• The genetic code is based on arranging the four
chemical “letters” into “words,” or instructions,
that describe how to make any particular
organism.
• In other words, all the blueprints for all the
species on Earth are written in the same
language!

*CHROMOSOMES*
• DNA contains all the instructions for an
organism’s characteristic features, such as
the shape of your nose or the colour of
your hair.
• If the DNA from a typical human body cell was
stretched out, it would be about two metres long!
• To fit such a large amount of DNA into their
cells, organisms arrange their DNA into
packages called chromosomes.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 13#4
CHROMOSOMES (CONTINUED)
• Each human cell nucleus contains 46 chromosomes,
except for those in the gametes (i.e. sperm and egg
cells), which contain half (23 chromosomes).
• Think of one chromosome as a single book in a series, and
the entire set of chromosomes as the complete series. If you
were missing a single book, you would be missing
information.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 14#4
![Page 8: 3.1 DNA TRANSMITTER OF GENETIC CODE 1 Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 ... •Sexual reproduction usually involves ... associated with a process called meiosis. Science 9 Unit A Section](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022521/5b26e9277f8b9a104d8b52d4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

CHROMOSOME PAIRS
• For humans, a complete set has 46 chromosomes.
• In most familiar organisms, the chromosomes are
organized into pairs.
• So the body cells of a human contain 23 pairs of
chromosomes.

EXAMPLES IN OTHER ORGANISMS
Dogs have 78 chromosomes, which is 39 pairs.
Cats have 38 chromosomes, which is 19 pairs.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 17
WHY SO IMPORTANT?
• All of our nuclei, except for those in the gametes,
MUST have a complete set of chromosomes.
• Each chromosome is important and provides crucial
instructions for your characteristics.
• For example, chromosome #1 of a dog reads “make round
eye pupil”, whereas chromosome #2 of a cat reads “make
slit-shaped eye pupil”.

HUMAN GENOME PROJECT
• The $3 billion government-funded Human Genome
Project (HGP) was an international scientific
research project with the goal of determining the
sequence of chemical base pairs which make up
human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of
the genes of the human genome from both a
physical and functional standpoint.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 19
HUMAN GENOME PROJECT (CONTINUED)
• Planning for the project started in 1984, got underway in 1990, and was declared complete in 2003.• Over 20 universities and research
centers in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, and China were involved.
• One discovery from the project? There are approximately 20 500 genes in human beings, the same range as in mice.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 20

SO WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
• One of the reasons scientists felt it was valuable to
identify the human genome was to help us identify
and understand genetic diseases and possible
cures.
• For example, chromosome abnormalities are missing, extra,
or irregular portions of DNA.
• They usually occur when there is an error in cell division
following meiosis or mitosis.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 21
EXAMPLE: DOWN SYNDROME
• Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21.
• It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features, and mild to moderate intellectual disability.
• Occurs in about one per 1000 babies born each year.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 22
![Page 12: 3.1 DNA TRANSMITTER OF GENETIC CODE 1 Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 ... •Sexual reproduction usually involves ... associated with a process called meiosis.

EXAMPLE: TRISOMY 22
• Trisomy 22 is characterized by threecopies of chromosome 22 rather than two.
• It is typically associated with growth delays, unequal development of the two sides of the body, distinctive malformations of the head and facial area, and intellectual disability.
• It is a frequent cause of miscarriage in the first trimester. Progression to the second trimester and livebirth are rare.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 23
EXAMPLE: ALS
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a nervous system disease that causes muscle weakness and impacts physical function.
• Symptoms include stiff muscles, muscle twitching, and gradually worsening weakness due to muscle wasting.
• The cause is not known in 90 – 95% of cases (associated with head trauma, military service, drug use, contact sports). About 5 – 10% of ALS cases are inherited from a person’s parents. It is associated with a defect on chromosome 21 or mutations of certain enzymes.

*GENES*
• A gene is an uninterrupted segment of DNA, which
contains coded instructions.
• Genes are located on the chromosomes. Genes
come in pairs and are located on the same spot of
different chromosomes.

*ALLELE*
• Most genes in most
species exist in an
array of possible
forms that differ as to
their exact DNA
sequence. These
possible forms are
known as alleles.
• An allele is a form of
a gene.
• For example, there
are genes for hair
colour, texture, and
length.
• The different hair
alleles, which could
include:
• Red, blonde, brunette
• Straight, curly, wavy
• Short, long

CELL DIVISION AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Recall:• Asexual reproduction involves only
one parent. All of the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
• In single-celled organisms, binary fission enables the parent cell to split its contents equally between two new cells.
• This ‘asexual reproduction’ (only one parent needed) occurs in the cells of multi-cellular organisms and is known as mitosis.

*MITOSIS*
• In multicellular organisms, mitosis is the process that
produces two new identical daughter cells from
one parent cell with the same number of
chromosomes.
• Mitosis occurs in the body cells of multicellular
organisms and is responsible for the growth and
cellular repair of a multicellular organism.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 35#8
MITOSIS (CONTINUED)
• In mitosis, the parent cell first duplicates its DNA and
each chromosome is doubled.
• When the split takes place, each new cell receives
a complete exact copy of the DNA from the parent
cell.

CELL DIVISION AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Recall:
• Sexual reproduction usually involves two individual
organisms.
• The offspring that are produced from this union have
genetically different characteristics, half from one parent
and the other half from the other parent - making a unique
offspring.
• In multi-cellular organisms, sexual reproduction is
associated with a process called meiosis.

MEIOSIS (01:48)
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 39
*MEIOSIS*
• Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces cells with only
half the DNA of a normal cell.
• Because each gamete has only half the DNA of a normal cell, when the male and female gametes unite, the zygote has a complete set of DNA.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 40#9
![Page 21: 3.1 DNA TRANSMITTER OF GENETIC CODE 1 Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 ... •Sexual reproduction usually involves ... associated with a process called meiosis.

2016-12-10
21
*MEIOSIS*
• In order for a gamete to contain only one copy of the different chromosomes, cells must divide twice.
• This produces four daughter sex cells from just one parent cell.

BREEDERS
• Darwin talked to people who bred pigeons for
show, message carrying, or other purposes.
• He realized that breeding works much the same
way as natural selection, and that many of the
same methods that breeders use can also occur in
nature and can explain the way organisms change
in nature.

*TRAITS*
• Animal breeders have been selecting animals with
the most desirable characteristics, or traits.
• Traits are characteristics of organisms.
• Scientists can now explain the inherited patterns
they discovered in terms of alleles.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 51#11
“PLAYING GOD” VS. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
• Sometimes, to prevent unwanted outcomes, only
animals or plants with the most desirable traits are
“allowed” to reproduce.
• This is the idea of “controlled breeding”.

*PUREBRED* VS. *HYBRID*
Purebred Organisms
• A purebred organism
has ancestors all with
the same form of a
trait.
Hybrid Organisms
• A hybrid organism is
produced by crossing
two individuals (usually
purebreds) who carry
different forms of a
trait.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 53#12
INHERITANCE IN
• Pure-bloods/Muggles:
• Half-bloods:
• “Pure-bloods” are purebred witches and wizards, or muggles; that is, both of their parents are wizards/witches or both muggles!
• “Half-bloods” are half witch/wizard, and half human; that is, one of their parents was a human (muggle).

EXAMPLE: BREEDING PUREBREDS
• If a purebred female white cat is bred with a
purebred male black cat:
• The offspring would all be hybrids.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 55
*DOMINANT* VS. *RECESSIVE*
Dominant Trait
• Dominant traits are the
outward form observed
when two opposite-
acting alleles are
inherited.
• For example, black coat
colour (fur) dominant trait
in cats.
Recessive Trait
• Recessive traits are the
outward form observed
only when two same-
acting, non-dominant
alleles are inherited.
• For example, white coat
colour (fur) is a recessive
trait in cats.

EXAMPLE: BREEDING PUREBREDS
• If a purebred female white cat is bred with a
purebred male black cat:
• The offspring would all have black fur, because black is a
dominant trait.
• The offspring would all be hybrids.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 57
PUREBRED & HYBRIDS + DOMINANT & RECESSIVE = …
• Purebred Black + Purebred Black = Purebred Black
• Purebred Black + Purebred White = Hybrid Black

QUESTION TO THINK ABOUT
• What will the offspring look like if two hybrid black
cats breed?
• Even though the parents both have black fur, remember
that they are hybrids, which means they are ‘carriers’ for
white fur, even though the white fur does not show.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 59
GENOTYPE VS. PHENOTYPE
Genotype
• An organism’s genotypeis the genetic makeup of the organism.• Hint: Genotype = genes
• It is usually written as two letters, which represent a pair of chromosomes.• Capital letters refer to
dominant traits.
• Lower-case letters refer to recessive traits.
Phenotype
• An organism’s phenotype
is its outward appearance
(i.e. a black cat).• Hint: phenotype = physical traits

GENOTYPE EXAMPLE: FUR COLOUR
• For example, let’s use the letter “b” to refer to coat
(fur) colour in a cat.
• B = black fur (dominant)
• b = white fur (recessive)
i. Since black is a dominant fur coat colour in cats, a
purebred, black cat will have the following genotype: BBii. A purebred, white cat will have the following genotype:
bb
iii. A hybrid black cat will have the following genotype: Bb

HOW DO WE USE PUNNETT SQUARES?
• If a purebred black cat is bred with a white cat, use a Punnett Square to determine the colour of the offspring (phenotypes).• B – black (dominant)• b – white (recessive)
• All of the offspring produced will be black hybrid kittens.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT RECESSIVE TRAITS…
• A recessive trait will ONLY appear in the offspring if TWO recessive alleles are inherited, one from the mother, and one from the father.
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 67#19
EXAMPLE: COLOUR BLINDNESS
• Colour blindness is the inability to see or perceive colour differences under normal lighting conditions.
• Colour blindness is a recessive trait and the related gene is carried on the X chromosome. Males have a higher probability of being colour blind.• Females have two X
chromosomes.• Males have one X and one Y
chromosome.
• This means that for a female to be colour-blind, she would have to inherit the gene from both her mother and her father.
• On the other hand, since Y chromosomes can only be passed on from the father, a male would only need to inherit the gene from his mother in order to be colour blind.

*INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE*
• When no specific trait is truly dominant or recessive,
this is known as incomplete dominance.
• Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance
seen when two different alleles are present at the
same gene location, but neither is dominant.
• When the alleles are neither dominant, nor
recessive, an intermediate trait will occur
(combining the two traits).
Science 9 Unit A Section 3.0 71#20
*INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE*
• Example: Snapdragon flowers
• A purebred red flower is crossed with a purebred white flower and the offspring are neither red nor white, and instead, the flowers are pink.

SOME EXCEPTIONAL CASES DO EXIST…
• If offspring are unlike either parent, more than one
gene location and more than one allele may be
responsible for specific traits.
• Example: human eye colour or red hair

EXAMPLE: FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME
• When a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy, she risks giving birth to a child who will pay the price — in mental and physical deficiencies — for his or her entire life.
• Characteristics include: developmental delay, behavioural problems, learning difficulties, facial abnormalities, epilepsy, poor coordination, poor socialization skills.

POSSIBLE REASONS?
• The complex mixing of the possible combinations for
a particular trait may account for the variation of
traits an offspring has.
• Even though genes play a vital role in determining
development, environmental factors can also have
a bearing on how DNA is interpreted and
developed.

EXAMPLE:THALIDOMIDE
• Thalidomide first appeared in Germany on October 1st, 1957.
• It was marketed towards pregnant women to help combat morning sickness.
• It was quickly being prescribed to thousands of women and spread to most corners of the globe. Nobody had any idea of what was to follow.
• The tests on thalidomide were conducted on rodents which metabolize the drug in a different way than humans. Later tests on rabbits and monkeys produced the same horrific side effects as in humans.

THALIDOMIDE (CONTINUED)
• In the late 1950s and early 1960s, more than 10 000 children in 46 countries were born with deformities as a consequence of thalidomide use. It is not known exactly how many worldwide victims of the drug there have been, although estimates range from 10,000 to 20,000.
• Thalidomide became available in Canada in late 1959. Although thalidomide was withdrawn from the West German and United Kingdom markets by December 1961, it remained legally available in Canada until March 2, 1962, a full three months later than its ban in other countries.
