Genetics Terms• Gene = a section of DNA (on a chromosome) that codes
for a specific trait
• Alleles = alternate forms of a gene
• Where are the alleles of a gene located?
• How many alleles can a person inherit for any one trait?
• How many alleles are there in a population for a particular trait such as hair color?

•Each offspring inherits two units (alleles) of information, one from each parent

Laws of Probability—application to inheritance
1. The results of one trial of a chance event do not affect the results of later trials of that same chance event
– E.g. Tossing of a coin, gender of children, etc.
![Page 17: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Laws of Probability—application to inheritance
2. The Multiplication Rule:
a. What are the chances of a couple having 4 girls?
b. E.g. What are the chances of a couple having a boy with the following characteristics: • Brown hair (3/4), Non-tongue roller (1/4), Blue eyes
(1/4), Attached earlobes (1/4)
![Page 18: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How to Solve Genetics Problems
Sample Problem: Mom and dad are heterozygous for tongue rolling where tongue rolling is dominant to non-rolling. What is the chance that the couple will produce a child that is a non-roller?
![Page 19: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use the following steps as a general guide to solve this and other problems:
1. Select a letter to represent the gene involved:
2. Write the genotypes of the parents.
3. Determine all possible gametes for each parent.
![Page 20: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Make a Punnett square to represent all possible gamete combinations between the two parents and determine the genotypes of the offspring.
5. Use the genotypes found in the Punnett Square to determine the possible phenotypes of the offspring to answer the question.

Sample problem: A true breeding black mouse was crossed with a true breeding brown mouse to produce the F1 generation, below. The F1 generation was then inbred to produce an F2 generation.
a.) Which allele is dominant? How do you know?
b.) Determine the genotypes and phenotypes for all 3 generations
c.) Predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the F2
Types of genetics problems: Monohybrid Cross

A couple, Jack and Jill, is concerned about having a child with cystic fibrosis. Although both of Jack’s and both of Jill’s parents are healthy and show no signs of cystic fibrosis, both Jack and Jill each had a sister die of the disease. The couple went to a clinic to be genetically tested for cystic fibrosis and were each found to be heterozygous for cystic fibrosis. What are the chances of Jack and Jill having a….
a.) phenotypically healthy child?
b.) child that is homozygous dominant? Heterozygous? Homozygous recessive?
c.) girl with cystic fibrosis? Boy with cystic fibrosis?

How to use the probability method
1. Treat the problem as if it consisted of several monohybrid crosses
2. Determine the gametes for each of these monohybrid crosses
3. Make a Punnett square for each of the monohybrid crosses
4. Use the information from each Punnett square and the “multiplication rule” to solve the problem

Non-Mendelian Inheritance
• Sometimes there are more than 2 alleles in a population
![Page 32: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

2. Incomplete dominance
• One allele isn’t fully dominant over the other
![Page 39: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

• Individuals in a population show a range of small differences in a certain trait
• Ex.
• Causes:
• 1.
• 2. Multiple environmental factors affect gene expression.

• Three types of disorders:
1. Autosomal recessive –
2. Autosomal dominant :• AA – embryo dies• Aa – is afflicted• aa – normal individual• Ex. Dwarfism• Vary rare

3. Sex-linked recessive inheritance
• Recessive on X-chromosome• e.g. • Males usually get the disorder more than females –
why?
• Son cannot inherit a recessive allele from his father but a daughter can. Why?
![Page 45: Genetics Terms](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56814da2550346895dbafca7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Human Sex Chromosomes • Sex chromosomes in humans
– Female Genotype = – Male Genotype =
• Sex-linked Alleles are carried on the X-chromosome
• Y-chromosome
– SRY gene on Y chromosome stimulates gonads to differentiate into male sex organs. • SRY = Sex-determining Region, Y-chromosome
