The laws of probability govern Mendelian inheritance
• Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment reflect the rules of probability
• The multiplication rule states that the probability that two or more independent events will occur together is the product of their individual probabilities
• Probability in a monohybrid cross can be determined using this rule

The rule of addition
• States that the probability that any one of two or more exclusive events will occur is calculated by adding together their individual probabilities

Solving Complex Genetics Problems with the Rules of Probability
• We can apply the rules of probability to predict the outcome of crosses involving multiple characters
• A dihybrid or other multicharacter cross is equivalent to two or more independent monohybrid crosses occurring simultaneously
• In calculating the chances for various genotypes from such crosses each character first is considered separately and then the individual probabilities are multiplied together

Summary of Basic Mendelian Genetics
• We cannot predict with certainty the genotype or phenotype of any particular seed from the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross, but we can predict the probabilities that it will fit a specific genotype of phenotype.
• Mendel’s experiments succeeded because he counted so many offspring and was able to discern this statistical feature of inheritance and had a keen sense of the rules of chance.
• Mendel’s laws of independent assortment and segregation explain heritable variation in terms of alternative forms of genes that are passed along according to simple rules of probability.

Extending Mendelian Genetics
• The inheritance of characters by a single gene may deviate from simple Mendelian patterns
• Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple Mendelian genetics
• The relationship between genotype and phenotype is rarely simple
• But we can extend Mendelian principles to patterns of inheritance more complex than Mendel described

The Spectrum of Dominance
• Complete dominance occurs when the phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical
• In incomplete dominance the phenotype of F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties

The Spectrum of Dominance
• In codominance two dominant alleles affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways
• The human blood group MN is an example of codominance
![Page 19: Mendelian Genetics. The laws of probability govern Mendelian inheritance Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment reflect the rules of](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d125503460f949e5a9e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The Relation Between Dominance and Phenotype
• Dominant and recessive alleles
– Do not really “interact”
– Lead to synthesis of different proteins that produce a phenotype
![Page 21: Mendelian Genetics. The laws of probability govern Mendelian inheritance Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment reflect the rules of](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d125503460f949e5a9e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tay-Sachs Disease
• Humans with Tay-Sachs disease produce a non-functioning enzyme to metabolize gangliosides (a lipid) which then accumulate in the brain, harming brain cells, and ultimately leading to death. Tay-Sachs most common in Ashkenazic Jews (from Central Europe)
• Children with two Tay-Sachs alleles have the disease.
• Heterozygotes with one working allele and homozygotes with two working alleles are “normal” at the organismal level, but heterozygotes produce less functional enzymes.
• However, both the Tay-Sachs and functional alleles produce equal numbers of enzyme molecules, codominant at the molecular level.

Frequency of Dominant Alleles
• Dominant alleles are not necessarily more common in populations than recessive alleles
• Polydactyly is a dominant trait – Antonio Alfonseca
• 399 out of 400 people have 5 digits

Dominance/recessiveness relationships
• Range from complete dominance through various degrees of incomplete dominance to codominance
• Reflect the mechanisms by which specific alleles are expressed in the phenotype and do not involve the ability of one allele to subdue another at the level of DNA
