Genetics Genetics is the scientific
study of heredity of traits.
A trait is a characteristic that varies from one individual to another
Gregor Mendel is considered the father of genetics

Genes and Dominance Mendel studied 7 different pea traits.
In crossing (mating) plants the original pair of plants is
known as the parental generation (P)
The offspring of the P generation are called F1 “first filial”
generation
The offspring of crosses between parents with different
traits are called hybrids

All of the F1 offspring had the character of only one of the parents
From this Mendel drew 2 conclusions:
Inheritance is determined by factors that are passed from one generation to the next
The principle of dominance

Factors that determine traits: genes
Each trait Mendel studied was controlled by one gene that occurred in contrasting forms
The contrasting forms produced the different characteristics of each trait
Ex: height trait can be short or tall
The different forms of genes are known as alleles

Principle of Dominance States that some alleles are dominant and others are
recessive.

Organisms with a dominant allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form of the trait.
Recessive traits will only show when the dominant allele for the trait is not present.
In Mendel’s experiment when looking at height:
Tall was dominant and short was recessive
Short plants only occurred
when the dominant allele
wasn’t present.

Letter Representation: Upper-case letters: dominant alleles
Lower-case letters recessive alleles
Homozygous organisms have 2 identical alleles for a particular trait
TT or tt
Heterozygous organisms have two different alleles for the same trait
Tt

Explaining the F1 Cross The dominant allele covered the recessive allele in the
F1 generation.
Traits controlled by the recessive allele showed up in some of the F2 plants- indicating that at some point the allele for shortness was separated from the allele for tallness.
How did this segregation of alleles occur?
Mendel explained it as the plant segregated from each other during the formation of the gametes

During gamete formation, alleles segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only a single copy of each gene. Each F1 plant produces 2 types of gametes

Genetic and Probability Probability: the likelihood an event will occur
Ex: flipping a coin
Individual probabilities are multiplied together
Past outcomes DO NOT affect future ones

How is flipping a coin relevant to genetics?
The way alleles segregate is completely random
Probability can be used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses.

Punnett Squares Used to predict, determine and compare gene
combinations that can result from genetic crosses.
F1 parents are along top and side
F2 go in the 4 boxes
The letters in the squares represent alleles

Probability & Segregation Because the allele for tallness is dominant over the allele for
shortness when a cross of F1 plants is done:
1/4 (25%) of the F2 plants have 2 alleles for tallness (TT)
1/4 boxes
½ (50%) of the F2 plants have 1 allele for tallness and 1 allele for shortness (Tt)
2/4 boxes
¼ (25%) of the F2 plants have 2 alleles for shortness (tt)

Ratio of tall plants to short plants is 3:1
The means that 25% of the plants showed the trait controlled by recessive allele (short)
Probabilities predict the average outcome of a large number of events
Probability cannot predict the exact outcomes of an individual event.
The larger the number of offspring, the closer the resulting numbers will get to expected values.
