Geneticsthe study of

inheritancehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVk0twJYL6Y&feature=related

There are 2 types of cell division:● Mitosis- growth and repair involved in cells

replicating themselves and all of their DNA into exact copies of original cells

● Meiosis- sexual reproduction combining sperm & egg to produce an new and original organism that has half of it’s DNA from each parent into a original and unique combination of traits

Gregor Mendel

• Father of Genetics• Austrian monk• discovered heredity

principles• studied pea plants

What Is Heredity?

Crossing Pea PlantsMendel devised a way to cross-pollinate pea plants.

Common traits Mendel identified in Pea Plants:

• seed shape- round vs. wrinkled • seed color-yellow vs. green• pod shape-pinched vs. smooth• pod color-green vs. yellow• flower color-purple vs. white• flower position-top of stem vs. side of stem• stem height- tall vs. short

Alleles in Pea PlantsMendel studied the inheritance of seven different traits in pea plants.

What Is Heredity?

Results of a CrossIn Mendel’s crosses, some forms of a trait were hidden in one generation but reappeared in the next. What was surprising about the offspring in the F2 generation?

Vocabulary/Term List

• asexual reproduction• sexual reproduction• heredity• trait• genetics• purebred• parental P1 generation• First filial F1 generation• Second filial F2 generation• offspring• gene • allele• dominant • recessive • hybrid• probability• Punnett square• phenotype• genotype• homozygous• heterozygous

Sample Crosses

If a purebred tall pea plant with was cross pollinated with a purebred short pea plant describe it's offspring:

Parent (P) Generation-

First Filial (F1) Generation-

Second Filial (F2) Generation-

Sample Crosses Part 2

If a purebred pea plant with purple flowers was cross pollinated with a purebred pea plant with white flowers describe it's offspring in each:

Parent (P) Generation-

First Filial (F1) Generation-

Second Filial (F2) Generation-

Sample Crosses Part 3

If a purebred pea plant with wrinkled seeds was cross pollinated with a purebred pea plant with round seeds describe it's offspring in each:

Parent (P) Generation-

First Filial (F1) Generation-

Second Filial (F2) Generation-

How to Make a Punnett Square What are the steps in using a Punnett Square to find the probabilities of a genetic cross?

Probability and Heredity

Describing InheritanceAn organism’s phenotype is its physical appearance. Its genotype is its genetic makeup. Complete the missing information in the table.

A homozygous pea plant with yellow seeds is crossed with a homozygous pea plant with green seeds.

A heterozygous pea plant is crossed with another heterozygous pea plant with both with yellow seeds.

Punnett Square Practice:For each sample question fill in the Punnett square and describe the offspring in the F1 generation. Include:· Genotypes (Percentages, ratios, fractions of alleles)· Phenotypes (Percentages, ratios, fractions of each physical appearance)

Sample #1: In Guinea pigs black fur color is dominant over white fur color. Suppose a homozygous black male guinea pig mated with a heterozygous black female guinea pig.

(P) Parent Alleles:F1 Generation:

Sample #2: In Guinea pigs Smooth fur is dominant over Cow licked fur. Suppose a heterozygous smooth male guinea pig mated with a homozygous cow licked female guinea pig.

(P) Parent Alleles: F1 Generation:

Sample #3: In Guinea pigs Solid fur color is dominant over Calico fur color. Suppose a homozygous Solid male guinea pig mated with a Calico female guinea pig.

(P) Parent Alleles:F1 Generation:

Dihybrid crossesSample #4: In Guinea pigs Black fur color is dominant over White fur color & Solid fur color is dominant over Calico fur color. Suppose a homozygous Solid black male guinea pig mated with a heterozygous Calico black female guinea pig. What would the offspring be like?(P) Parent Alleles:F1 Generation:

Sample #5: In Guinea pigs Smooth fur is dominant over Cow licked fur and Black fur color is dominant over white fur color. Suppose a heterozygous Black & Smooth haired Male mated with a White & Cow licked haired female guinea pig. What would the offspring be like?(P) Parent Alleles:F1 Generation:

Sample #6: In Guinea pigs Black fur color is dominant over White fur color & Solid fur color is dominant over Calico fur color. Suppose a heterozygous Solid black male guinea pig mated with a homozygous Calico black female guinea pig. What would the offspring be like?

DiHYbrid Crosses

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/mendelian_genetics/problem_sets/dihybrid_cross/03t.html

Vocabulary/Terms List Part 2:• Mendel’s experiments with pea plants led to an

understanding of how traits are controlled by genes. However, some traits are not controlled by genes with only 2 possible alleles.

• There are 4 other complex patterns of inheritance: Give an explanation of each below: Include examples!!!o Incomplete dominance-o Codominance-o Multiple alleles-o Polygenic inheritance-

Define: Meiosis-

What does the chromosome theory of inheritance state?

Compare and Contrast the processes of Mitosis and Meiosis: be sure to include when/what each is used for and in what types of cells

BlingwingsAn imaginary insect called the blingwing has three alleles for wing color: R (red), B (blue), and Y (yellow).

1. What are the 6 possible allele pairs that can be inherited?

2. Suppose the 3 alleles are codominant, what wing color would each pair of alleles produce?

Patterns of Inheritance

Nature:DNA, Genes and Chromosomes

• Genes make you who you are.

Genes hold the key to heredity

• A gene is a short segment of DNA that contains the instructions for how to make one (or more) proteins.

• Each protein carries out a specific function within our body.

Chromosomes and Inheritance

Paired UpSutton studied grasshopper cells through a microscope. He concluded that genes are carried on chromosomes.

A Pair of ChromosomesChromosomes in a pair may have different alleles for some genes and the same alleles for others. Is the organism homozygous or heterozygous?

Chromosomes and Inheritance

Chromosomes and InheritanceMeiosisDuring meiosis, a cell produces sex cells with half the number of chromosomes. The correct number is restored when sperm and eggs combine!
