Heredity and GeneticsHeredity and Genetics• Heredity is the passing of
traits from parents to offspring
• Traits are controlled by genes, so GENETICS is the study of how traits are inherited through the action of alleles
• Austrian monk born in 1822 who is responsible
for the laws governing the inheritance of traits
• Between 1856 and 1863, Mendel cultivated and tested over 28,000 pea plants
• Mendel performed cross-pollination by transferring pollen from one plant to selected ova of other plants, thereby controlling which plants mixed
Gregor Mendel – “Father of Genetics”
Mendel’s ExperimentsMendel’s Experiments• Mendel produced pure strains by allowing
plants to self-pollinate, I.e., pollen (male gamete) from one plant fertilizes ova (female gamete) of same plant

Genetics TerminologyGenetics Terminology• Traits – any characteristic that can be passed from
parents to offspring• Heredity – the passing of traits from parents to
offspring• Alleles – one form (dominant or recessive) of a gene
• Sex cells have ONE form of a gene on their chromosomes
• Body cells have TWO forms or alleles for a single gene (you get one from mom and the other from dad)
• Dominant – is always expressed; masks a recessive trait
• Recessive – can only be expressed if there are no dominant alleles present
Genetics TerminologyGenetics Terminology• Dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter• Recessive alleles are represented by a lower case letter
Example: B = Brown eye color (dominant) b = Blue eye color (recessive)
• “Purebred” species have two of the same alleles; this is also called HOMOZYGOUS, e.g., BB (homozygous dominant) or bb (homozygous recessive)
• Species with two different alleles are called HETEROZYGOUS, e.g., Bb
• Genotype: the alleles present in the organism, i.e., BB, Bb, or bb
• Phenotype: the expression of the genes; what is observed
Genotype and Genotype and Phenotype in FlowerPhenotype in Flower
• All genes occur in pairs, so TWO alleles affect a trait.
• Possible combinations if:R = Red flowerr = Yellow flower
• Genotypes RR Rr rr• Phenotypes Red Red Yellow
Genetic CrossesGenetic Crosses• Monohybrid Cross: cross involving ONE
trait, e.g., eye color • Dihybrid Cross: cross involving TWO traits,
e.g., eye color and hair color• Offspring’s genotype and phenotype is
determined using a Punnett square

Generations in CrossesGenerations in Crosses• Parental Generation (P1) = the parental
generation in a breeding experiment• First Filial Generation (F1) = the first
generation of offspring in a breeding experiment
• Second Filial Generation (F2) = the second generation of offspring in a breeding experiment

Dihybrid CrossesDihybrid Crosses• A breeding experiment that tracks the
inheritance of two traits• Mendel’s “Law of Independent Assortment”
• Each pair of alleles segregates independently during gamete formation
• Formula: 2n (n = # of heterozygotes)Example:
1. RrYy: 2n = 22 = 4 possible gametes RY Ry rY ry

•Test crosses involve breeding the individual in question with another individual that expresses a recessive version of the same trait. If all offspring display the dominant phenotype, the individual in question is homozygous dominant; if the offspring display both dominant and recessive phenotypes, then the individual is heterozygous yY
