TRANSCRIPT

  • Overview: Locating Genes Along ChromosomesMendels hereditary factors were genes, though this wasnt known at the timeToday we can show that genes are located on chromosomesThe location of a particular gene can be seen by tagging isolated chromosomes with a fluorescent dye that highlights the gene

  • Concept 15.1: Mendelian inheritance has its physical basis in the behavior of chromosomesMitosis and meiosis were first described in the late 1800sThe chromosome theory of inheritance states:

    Mendelian genes have specific loci (positions) on chromosomesChromosomes undergo segregation and independent assortmentThe behavior of chromosomes during meiosis was said to account for Mendels laws of segregation and independent assortment

  • Morgans Experimental Evidence: Scientific InquiryThe first solid evidence associating a specific gene with a specific chromosome came from Thomas Hunt Morgan, an embryologistMorgans experiments with fruit flies provided convincing evidence that chromosomes are the location of Mendels heritable factors

  • Morgans Choice of Experimental OrganismSeveral characteristics make fruit flies a convenient organism for genetic studies:

    They breed at a high rate A generation can be bred every two weeksThey have only four pairs of chromosomesCopyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

    *

  • Morgan noted wild type, or normal, phenotypes that were common in the fly populationsTraits alternative to the wild type are called mutant phenotypes

  • Correlating Behavior of a Genes Alleles with Behavior of a Chromosome Pair

    In one experiment, Morgan mated male flies with white eyes (mutant) with female flies with red eyes (wild type)

    The F1 generation all had red eyesThe F2 generation showed the 3:1 red:white eye ratio, but only males had white eyesMorgan determined that the white-eyed mutant allele must be located on the X chromosomeMorgans finding supported the chromosome theory of inheritance

  • Concept 15.2: Sex-linked genes exhibit unique patterns of inheritanceIn humans and some other animals, there is a chromosomal basis of sex determinationCopyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

    *

  • The Chromosomal Basis of SexIn humans and other mammals, there are two varieties of sex chromosomes: a larger X chromosome and a smaller Y chromosomeOnly the ends of the Y chromosome have regions that are homologous with the X chromosomeThe SRY gene on the Y chromosome codes for the development of testes

  • Inheritance of Sex-Linked GenesThe sex chromosomes have genes for many characters unrelated to sexA gene located on either sex chromosome is called a sex-linked geneIn humans, sex-linked usually refers to a gene on the larger X chromosome

    Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

    *

  • Sex-linked genes follow specific patterns of inheritanceFor a recessive sex-linked trait to be expressed

    A female needs two copies of the alleleA male needs only one copy of the alleleSex-linked recessive disorders are much more common in males than in females

  • X Inactivation in Female MammalsIn mammalian females, one of the two X chromosomes in each cell is randomly inactivated during embryonic development The inactive X condenses into a Barr bodyIf a female is heterozygous for a particular gene located on the X chromosome, she will be a mosaic for that character

  • Each chromosome has hundreds or thousands of genesGenes located on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together are called linked genes

  • Morgan found that body color and wing size are usually inherited together in specific combinations (parental phenotypes) He noted that these genes do not assort independently, and reasoned that they were on the same chromosome

    Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

    *

  • However, nonparental phenotypes were also producedUnderstanding this result involves exploring genetic recombination, the production of offspring with combinations of traits differing from either parent

  • Genetic Recombination and LinkageThe genetic findings of Mendel and Morgan relate to the chromosomal basis of recombination

  • Recombination of Unlinked Genes: Independent Assortment of ChromosomesMendel observed that combinations of traits in some offspring differ from either parentOffspring with a phenotype matching one of the parental phenotypes are called parental typesOffspring with nonparental phenotypes (new combinations of traits) are called recombinant types, or recombinantsA 50% frequency of recombination is observed for any two genes on different chromosomes

  • Recombination of Linked Genes: Crossing OverMorgan discovered that genes can be linked, but the linkage was incomplete, as evident from recombinant phenotypesMorgan proposed that some process must sometimes break the physical connection between genes on the same chromosomeThat mechanism was the crossing over of homologous chromosomes

  • Mapping the Distance Between Genes Using Recombination Data: Scientific InquiryAlfred Sturtevant, one of Morgans students, constructed a genetic map, an ordered list of the genetic loci along a particular chromosomeSturtevant predicted that the farther apart two genes are, the higher the probability that a crossover will occur between them and therefore the higher the recombination frequency

    Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

    *

  • A linkage map is a genetic map of a chromosome based on recombination frequenciesDistances between genes can be expressed as map units; one map unit, or centimorgan, represents a 1% recombination frequencyMap units indicate relative distance and order, not precise locations of genes

    Triploidy (3n) is three sets of chromosomesTetraploidy (4n) is four sets of chromosomesPolyploidy is common in plants, but not animalsPolyploids are more normal in appearance than aneuploids

  • Human Disorders Due to Chromosomal AlterationsAlterations of chromosome number and structure are associated with some serious disordersSome types of aneuploidy appear to upset the genetic balance less than others, resulting in individuals surviving to birth and beyondThese surviving individuals have a set of symptoms, or syndrome, characteristic of the type of aneuploidy

  • Genomic ImprintingFor a few mammalian traits, the phenotype depends on which parent passed along the alleles for those traitsSuch variation in phenotype is called genomic imprintingGenomic imprinting involves the silencing of certain genes that are stamped with an imprint during gamete production
