Introduction to Genetics
Chapter 11
![Page 2: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
11- 1 The Work of Gregor Mendel
• Every living thing – plant or animal, microbe or human being – has a set of characteristics inherited from its parents
• Since the beginning of recorded history, people have wanted to understand how that inheritance is passed from generation to generation
![Page 3: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Genetics• The scientific study of heredity
![Page 4: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Gregor Mendel• Austrian Monk• Born 1822 in Czech
Republic• Worked at monastery and
taught high school• Tended the monastery
garden• Grew peas and became
interested in the traits that were expressed in different generations of peas
![Page 5: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
True breeding• If allowed to self pollinate they
would produce offspring identical to themselves
• He was also able to cross breed peas for different traits
![Page 6: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
![Page 7: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Genes and Dominance• Mendel studied seven different
pea plant traits
• Each trait he studied had a contrasting form
![Page 8: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pea Plant Traits
![Page 9: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Genes and Dominance• The offspring of crosses between
parents with different traits are called Hybrids
• When Mendel crossed plants with different traits he expected them to blend, but that’s not what happened at all.
• All of the offspring had the character of only one of the parents
![Page 10: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mendel drew two conclusions
1. Inheritance is determined by factors that are passed from generation to generation – today we call these factors genes
![Page 12: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Alleles• Different forms of a gene
![Page 13: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mendel’s 2nd conclusion
2. The Principal of Dominance
• Some alleles are dominant and some are recessive
![Page 14: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
dominant• Covers up the recessive form
Ex.) T = tall
![Page 15: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
recessive• Gets covered up in the presence
of a dominant allele
Ex.) t = short
![Page 16: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Segregation• Mendel wanted to answer another
question
Q: Had the recessive alleles disappeared? Or where they still present in the F1 plants?
• To answer this he allowed the F1 plants to produce an F2 generation by self pollination
![Page 17: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
P1 Parental
Tall Short All Tall
F1 F2
3 tall : 1 short
75% tall
25% short
![Page 18: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The F1 Cross• The recessive traits reappeared!
• Roughly 1/4 of the F2 plants showed a recessive trait
![Page 19: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Explanation of the F1 Cross• The reappearance indicated that at some point
the allele for shortness had been separated from the allele for tallness
• Mendel suggested that the alleles for tallness and shortness in the F1 plants were segregated from each other during the formation of sex cells or gametes
• When each F1 plant flowers, the two alleles segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only a single copy of each gene. Therefore, each F1 plant produces two types of gametes – those with the allele for tallness and those with the allele for shortness
![Page 20: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
11-2 Probability and Punnett Squares
• Mendel kept obtaining similar results, he soon realized that the principals of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses
![Page 22: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Probability• The likelihood that a particular
event will occur
• The way in which alleles segregate is random like a coin flip
![Page 23: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Homozygous• Organisms that have 2 identicle
alleles for a trait
Ex.) TT , tt
![Page 26: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Heterozygous• Have two different alleles for a
trait
Ex.) Tt
![Page 27: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Ex.) Tt, TT, tt
![Page 29: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
11-3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics
![Page 30: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Mendel wondered if alleles segregate during the formation of gametes independently
• Does the segregation of one pair of alleles affect the segregation of another pair of alleles?
• For example, does the gene that determines whether round or wrinkled in shape have anything to do with the gene for color?
• Must a round seed also be yellow?
![Page 31: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
All heterozygous 9:3:3:1 Ratio
![Page 32: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Independent Assortment• Genes that segregate
independently do not influence each others inheritance
![Page 33: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A Summary of Mendel’s Principles
• The inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by individual units known as _______________. In organisms that reproduce sexually, _______________ are passed from parents to offspring
Genes
Genes
![Page 34: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
A Summary of Mendel’s Principles
• In cases in which 2 or more forms of a gene are present, some forms of the gene may be _______________________ or ___________________________
• In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene – one from each parent. These genes are segregated from each other when gametes are formed
• The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another
dominantrecessive
![Page 35: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Incomplete Dominance• When one allele is not dominant
over another
• Four o’clock flowers
• The heterozygous phenotype is somewhat in-between the two homozygous phenotypes
![Page 36: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Codominance• When both alleles contribute to
the phenotype of an organism
Ex.) Speckled Chickens
![Page 38: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Multiple Alleles• When more than two possible
alleles exist in a population
Ex.) blood type
• IA
• IB
• i

Polygenic Traits• Traits controlled by two or more
genes
Ex.) eye color, skin color
![Page 41: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Genetics and the Environment• The characteristics of any organism,
is not only determined by the genes it inherits
• Characteristics are determined by interactions between genes and the environment
• Ex.) genes may affect a plants height but the same characteristic is influenced by climate, soil conditions and availability of water
![Page 42: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Do Now• Human hair is inherited by
incomplete dominance. Human hair may be curly (CC) or straight (cc). The heterozygous genotype (Cc) produces wavy hair. Show a cross between two parents with wavy hair
![Page 43: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Do Now• A man is suing his wife on grounds of
infidelity. The man claims that the child is blood type O and therefore must be fathered by someone else. Can he use this evidence in court if he and his wife both have heterozygous B genotypes?
• Show the cross of the two parents
![Page 44: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
11 – 4 Meiosis

Objectives• What happens during the events
of meiosis?
• What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
![Page 46: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Gregor Mendel did not know where the genes he had discovered were located in the cell
• Genes are located on ______________________ in the cell ______________

Mendel’s principles of genetics require at least 2 things
1. Each organism must inherit… a single copy of every gene from each of its parents
2. When an organism produces its own gametes… these two sets of genes must be separated from each other so that each gamete contains just one set of genes
![Page 48: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Chromosome NumberEx.) fruit fly 8 chromosomes
• 4 from mom, 4 from dad
Ex.) Humans 46 chromosomes
• 23 from mom, 23 from dad
![Page 49: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Homologous• Chromosomes that each have a
corresponding chromosome from the opposite sex parent
![Page 50: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Diploid• A cell that contains both sets
of homologous chromosomes (2N)–Body cells
![Page 51: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Haploid• A cell that contains only a single
set of chromosomes (1N)–Sex cells (gametes)
![Page 52: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Meiosis• A process of reduction division
in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell–Makes sex cells
![Page 53: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

![Page 55: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
![Page 56: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
![Page 57: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Meiosis usually involves 2 divisions
• Meiosis I
• Meiosis II
![Page 58: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Meiosis I• prior to meiosis I, each
chromosome is replicated
• The cells then begin to divide similar to mitosis
![Page 59: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Prophase I• Each chromosome pairs with its
corresponding homologous chromosome to form a structure called a _____________________ - has 4 chromatids
Tetrad
![Page 60: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Crossing over• When chromosomes exchange
portions of their chromatids and results in the exchange of alleles
![Page 61: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
![Page 62: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Crossing over• Leads to new combinations of alleles
• The homologous chromosomes separate, and 2 new cells are formed
• Although each cell now has 4 chromatids something is different. Because each pair of homologous chromosomes was separated, neither of the daughter cells has two complete sets of chromosomes that it would have in a diploid cell
• The two sets have been shuffled
![Page 63: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Meiosis II• The two cells produced by
meiosis I now enter a second meiotic division
• Unlike the 1st division, no chromosomes are replicated
• Each cell’s chromosomes has 2 chromatids
![Page 64: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Metaphase II• 2 chromosomes line up in the
center of each cell
![Page 65: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Anaphase II• The paired chromatids separate
![Page 66: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Telophase II• Forms 4 daughter cells each with
2 chromatids
• These 4 daughter cells are now haploid (N) – just 2 chromosomes each
![Page 67: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Gamete Formation• In male animals, the haploid
gametes produced by meiosis are called sperm
• In some plants they are called pollen
![Page 68: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Spermatogenesis
![Page 69: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Gamete Formation• In females, generally only one of the
cells produced by meiosis is involved in reproduction
• This female gamete is called an egg• The other 3 cells that do not receive
as much cytoplasm as the egg are called polar bodies

Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis
• Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells

Gene Linkage• When genes are located on the
same chromosome they are inherited together (Linkage)
• It’s the chromosomes that assort independently not individual genes
![Page 75: Biology - Chp 11 - Introduction To Genetics - PowerPoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548b616ab47959d30c8b6159/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
• When genes are formed on the same chromosome, this does not mean that they are linked forever
• Crossing over during meiosis sometimes separates genes that had been on the same chromosome onto homologous chromosomes
• Cross over events occasionally separate and exchange linked genes and produce new combinations of alleles

Gene Maps
• 1911 Alfred Sturtevant
• hypothesized that the further apart genes were, the more likely they were to be separated by a crossover in meiosis
• the rate at which linked genes were separated and recombined could then be used to produce a “map” of distances between genes
