•The garden pea:• Organism used in Mendel’s experiments
• A good choice for several reasons:
• Easy to cultivate
• Short generation
• Normally self-pollinating, but can be cross-pollinated by hand
• True-breeding varieties were available
• Simple, objective traits

11.2 Mendel’s Laws
•Mendel performed cross-breeding experiments• Used “true-breeding” (homozygous) plants• Chose varieties that differed in only one trait
(monohybrid cross)• Performed reciprocal crosses
• Parental generation = P
• First filial generation offspring = F1
• Second filial generation offspring = F2
• Formulated the Law of Segregation
11
Mendel’s Laws
•Law of Segregation:
• Each individual has a pair of factors (alleles) for each trait
• The factors (alleles) segregate (separate) during gamete (sperm & egg) formation
• Each gamete contains only one factor (allele) from each pair of factors
• Fertilization gives the offspring two factors for each trait
12
Mendel’s Laws•C
lassical Genetics and Mendel’s Cross:
• Each trait in a pea plant is controlled by two alleles (alternate forms of a gene)
• Dominant allele (capital letter) masks the expression of the recessive allele (lower-case)
• Alleles occur on a homologous pair of chromosomes at a particular gene locus
• Homozygous = identical alleles
• Heterozygous = different alleles

Figure 14.7 Testing two hypotheses for segregation in a dihybrid cross
15
Mendel’s Laws
•Genotype
• Refers to the two alleles an individual has for a specific trait
• If identical, genotype is homozygous
• If different, genotype is heterozygous
•Phenotype
• Refers to the physical appearance of the individual
16
Mendel’s Laws•A
dihybrid cross uses true-breeding plants differing in two traits•M
endel tracked each trait through two generations.• Started with true-breeding plants differing in two traits• The F1 plants showed both dominant characteristics• F1 plants self-pollinated• Observed phenotypes among F2 plants
•Mendel formulated the Law of Independent Assortment• The pair of factors for one trait segregate independently of the factors for other traits• All possible combinations of factors can occur in the gametes
•P generation is the parental generation in a breeding experiment.
•F1 generation is the first-generation offspring in a breeding experiment.
•F2 generation is the second-generation offspring in a breeding experiment

Mendel’s Laws•P
unnett Square• Allows us to easily calculate probability, of genotypes and
phenotypes among the offspring• Punnett square in next slide shows a 50% (or ½) chance
• The chance of E = ½• The chance of e = ½
• An offspring will inherit:• The chance of EE =½ ½=¼ • The chance of Ee =½ ½=¼ • The chance of eE =½ ½=¼ • The chance of ee =½ ½=¼
Rules of Probability•P
robability scale ranges from 0 to 1•T
he possibilities of all outcomes must add up to 1•I
n every fertilization involving gametes, the ovum has a ½ chance of carrying a dominant allele and ½ chance of carrying a recessive allele
•Two basic laws of probability can help are the rule of multiplication and the rule of addition
Rule of Multiplication•H
ow can we determine the chance that two or more independent events will occur together in some combination?
• Compute the probability for each independent event, then multiply these individual probabilities to obtain the overall probability of these events occurring together
Rule of Addition•T
he probability of an event that can occur in two or more different ways is the sum of the separate probabilities of those ways
23
Mendel’s Laws•G
enetic disorders are medical conditions caused by alleles inherited from parents
•Autosome - Any chromosome other than a sex chromosome (X or Y)
•Genetic disorders caused by genes on autosomes are called autosomal disorders • Some genetic disorders are autosomal dominant
• An individual with AA has the disorder• An individual with Aa has the disorder• An individual with aa does NOT have the disorder
• Other genetic disorders are autosomal recessive• An individual with AA does NOT have the disorder• An individual with Aa does NOT have the disorder, but is a carrier• An individual with aa DOES have the disorder

Autosomal recessive disorders• Most affected children have unaffected parents.
• Heterozygotes (Aa) have an unaffected phenotype.• Two affected parents will always have affected children.• Close relatives who reproduce are more likely to have affected children.
• Both males and females are affected with equal frequency.

Autosomal dominant disorders
Non-single gene genetics
•Incomplete dominance: appearance between the phenotypes of the 2 parents. Ex: snapdragons
•Codominance: two alleles affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways. Ex: Tay-Sachs disease• Multiple alleles: more than 2 possible alleles for a gene. Ex:
human blood types
Figure 14.9 Incomplete dominance in snapdragon color
28
Blood Types•S
ome traits are controlled by multiple alleles (multiple allelic traits)
•The gene exists in several allelic forms (but each individual only has two alleles)
•ABO blood types
• The alleles:
• IA = A antigen on red blood cells, anti-B antibody in plasma
• IB = B antigen on red blood cells, anti-A antibody in plasma
• i = Neither A nor B antigens on red blood cells, both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma•T
he ABO blood type is also an example of codominance• More than one allele is fully expressed• Both IA and IB are expressed in the presence of the other

Non-single gene genetics
•Pleiotropy: genes with multiple phenotypic effect. Ex: sickle-cell anemia
•Epistasis: a gene at one locus (chromosomal location) affects the phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus. Ex: mice coat color
•Polygenic Inheritance: an additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character Ex: human skin pigmentation and height

Extending the Range of Mendelian Genetics
•X-Linked Inheritance•In mammals•The X and Y chromosomes determine gender•Females are XX •Males are XY
35
Extending the Range of Mendelian Genetics
•X-Linked Inheritance• The term X-linked is used for genes that have nothing to
do with gender• X-linked genes are carried on the X chromosome. • The Y chromosome does not carry these genes • Discovered in the early 1900s by a group at Columbia
University, headed by Thomas Hunt Morgan. • Performed experiments with fruit flies
• They can be easily and inexpensively raised in simple laboratory glassware
• Fruit flies have the same sex chromosome pattern as humans

Extending the Range of Mendelian Genetics•S
everal X-linked recessive disorders occur in humans:• Color blindness
• The allele for the blue-sensitive protein is autosomal• The alleles for the red- and green-sensitive pigments are on the X chromosome.
• Menkes syndrome• Caused by a defective allele on the X chromosome • Disrupts movement of the metal copper in and out of cells.• Phenotypes include kinky hair, poor muscle tone, seizures, and low body temperature• Muscular dystrophy• Wasting away of the muscle• Caused by the absence of the muscle protein dystrophin• Adrenoleukodystrophy
• X-linked recessive disorder• Failure of a carrier protein to move either an enzyme or very long chain fatty acid into
peroxisomes. • Hemophilia
• Absence or minimal presence of clotting factor VIII or clotting factor IX
• Affected person’s blood either does not clot or clots very slowly.

Disorders
• More males than females are affected.
• An affected son can have parents who have the normal phenotype.
• For a female to have the characteristic, her father must also have it. Her mother must have it or be a carrier.
• The characteristic often skips a generation from the grandfather to the grandson.
• If a woman has the characteristic, all of her sons will have it.

Expressivity refers to variations in a phenotype among individuals carrying a particular genotype.
Penetrance is the proportion of individuals carrying a particular variant of a gene (allele or genotype) that also express an associated trait (phenotype).
Chromosomal errors, I•N
ondisjunction: members of a pair of homologous chromosomes do not separate properly during meiosis I or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II
•Aneuploidy: chromosome number is abnormal• Monosomy ~ missing chromosome• Trisomy ~ extra chromosome (Down syndrome)• Polyploidy~ extra sets of chromosomes

ot all genes are located on the nuclear chromosomes. These genes do not exhibit Mendelian genetics.
•Mitochondrial DNA which is given from the mother only, can in some rare cases cause some disorders. If the Mitochondrial DNA is defected this would reduce the amount of ATP made.
