Introduction to Genetics

Genetics
– The scientific study of heredity.• Example: Geneticist,
Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher
![Page 3: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
HeredityThe passing of traits from parent to offspring• Example: Both of your
parents have brown hair and so do you
* Heredity is not always this simple. You might have blue eyes even though both of your parents have brown eyes
![Page 4: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Traits
Distinguishing qualities that can be passed from one generation to the next• Examples: hair color,
eye color
![Page 5: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
GenesThe set of instructions that determine what traits an offspring has.
There are at least two genes for every trait• Example: Some people inherit
the genes (instructions) for making dimples. Genes are found in the base sequence of the DNA (the letters)!

Alleles
Different versions of the same gene
Each person only has two alleles, even if there are more possible• Example: alleles for eye color
would include brown, blue, green, grey, hazel
![Page 7: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dominant TraitA dominant trait is observed when at least one dominant allele is inherited
BB or Bb
A dominant allele is written as a CAPITAL letter• Example: Brown eye
color (B) is dominant
over blue eye color (b).
![Page 8: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Recessive TraitWhen a trait is recessive it is only visible when two recessive alleles are inherited (bb)
A recessive allele is written as a lower case letter• Example: Blonde hair color (b) is
recessive.
![Page 9: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The dominant trait is stronger, more powerful than the recessive trait.
The recessive trait is weaker than the dominant trait.
The dominant trait overpowers the weaker recessive trait when the two are together.

The inherited combination of alleles (Represented by letters)• Example: DD or Dd or dd
Can you see an organism’s genotype?
Genotype
![Page 11: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PhenotypeThe organisms inherited appearance• Example: straight, wavy, or curly hair
Can you see an organism’s phenotype?
![Page 12: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Applying what you learned!
If T=tall and t=short, what will be the organism’s phenotype?
TT
Tt
tt

Homozygous
Having two alleles that are the same for a gene
“Purebred” or “true-breeding”• Examples: BB or bb
![Page 14: Introduction to Genetics. Genetics – The scientific study of heredity. Example: Geneticist, Genetic counselor, Genetics researcher](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d9e5503460f94a8838f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Heterozygous
Having two alleles that are different for a gene
“hybrid”• Example: Bb or Pp
