- Slide 5
- Which phenotype is dominant? Assumption: single-gene trait, 2
alleles, normal dominance Cross between a marine stickleback and
one from Bear Paw Lake Parents are homozygous F is dominant, f is
recessive
- Slide 6
- Predict the results of the crosses FF f f Ff Pelvic spines
present:absent = 0:1 1:0 Ff F f FF Ff ff Pelvic spines
present:absent = 3:11:3 1 st generation2 nd generation
- Slide 7
- Sorting by Phenotype With pelvic spinesWithout pelvic
spines
- Slide 8
- Do the data support your hypothesis? Sort the F 1 cards: Fish
with pelvic spines Fish without pelvic spines Sort the F 2 cards
Ratio of fish with:without pelvic spines in F 1 ? Ratio of fish
with:without pelvic spines in F 2 ? 1:0 3.4:1 Was our initial
assumption correct? Is this a single-gene trait? Was your
hypothesis correct? Which phenotype is dominant?

- Mendelian Genetics Activity Punnett squares Pedigree analysis
Pedigree creation Chi-square analysis Data prediction Important
notes: A is normal allele S is sickle cell allele AA has normal RBC
phenotype AS has sickle cell trait SS has sickle cell disease
- Slide 13
- Question #1: Intro Punnett AS A S Chance of normal RBC in high
and low oxygen? Chance of SCD? Chance of 3 children with SCD?
Chance of 2 children with sickle cell trait and 1 with SCD? Child
without SCD, what chance he/she has trait? AA AS SS 1/4 1/64 1/16

- Question #6: Intro Pedigree Genotype of: 1 st gen male? 2 nd
gen daughter? Individual #3? If family moves to lowlands of E.
Africa, 4/5 males will have two genetic advantages. What are they?
