Gregor Mendel TEST 1 on SLIDES 1-19 1 n Gregor Mendel was a monk who worked with pea plants in the mid 1800’s. Today he is known as “Father of Genetics.” He was curious about the “factors” acting on inheritance. Are there patterns? 2 What is Genetics? n Genetics is the branch of biology that deals with heredity. n Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. – Parents à offspring n Traits are characteristics of an organism. – Human examples: height, hair, eye color. 3 1 Genetics - part one n Gene: a section/piece of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait. § Alleles = alternate forms of a gene (Ex: Blood type A/B/O). § Genes tend to come in pairs (alleles). n DOMINANT: an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele present. – (CAPITAL LETTER) n recessive: an allele hidden by dominant. – (lower case letter) n Genotype: genetic makeup; allele combinations. – (Ex: BB, Bb, bb) n Phenotype: physical appearance of an organism (Ex: Brown hair) 4 How to make a test cross (aka Punnett Square) Parent #1 alleles Offspring Offspring Offspring Offspring Parent #2 alleles 5 6 2 Genetics - part one Diagrams & math can be used to predict the probability that a trait will pass from parent(s) to offspring.

T. C. A. – Change can be letter addition, substitution, deletion or inversion. n Mutations can be good, bad or indifferent to an organism. n Mutagens are agents capable of causing a mutation, such as UV light or certain chemicals. 27 9 Genetics - part one Mutations & Evolution n Mutations drive evolution. – Since all living things use the same chemicals (G.T.C.A.) for their “code,” changes are necessary to give rise to new species. § A concept better known as genetic variation. – Observed at the taxonomic levels (D.K.P.C.O.F.G.s.) n Genetic Variation à Biodiversity. 28 Glowing mutant mice, frog/duck genetic mutants. 29 Drug resistant bacteria, mushroom mutant, lungfish, tomato mutations. 30 10 Genetics - part one 31 Quotes: n “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” -Albert Einstein.! ! n “I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.” -Michael Jordan.! ! n “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.” -Michael Jordan. 32 CALGENE 1994-1997 First GM Tomato approved by FDA 33 11 Genetics - part one Human Genome Project 1987-2003.

  • 3Rd Period Allele: Alternate Forms of a Genetic Locus
    Glossary of Terms Commonly Encountered in Plant Breeding 1st Period - 3rd Period Allele: alternate forms of a genetic locus. For example, at a locus determining eye colour, an individual might have the allele for blue eyes, brown, etc. Breeding: the intentional development of new forms or varieties of plants or animals by crossing, hybridization, and selection of offspring for desirable characteristics Chromosome: the structure in the eukaryotic nucleus and in the prokaryotic cell that carries most of the DNA Cross-over: The point along the meiotic chromosome where the exchange of genetic material takes place. This structure can often be identified through a microscope Crossing-over: The reciprocal exchange of material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, which is responsible for genetic recombination. The process involves the natural breaking of chromosomes, the exchange of chromosome pieces, and the reuniting of DNA molecules Domestication: the process by which plants are genetically modified by selection over time by humans for traits that are more desirable or advantageous for humans DNA: an abbreviation for “deoxyribose nucleic acid”, the carrier molecule of inherited genetic information Dwarfness: The genetically controlled reduction in plant height. For many crops, dwarfness, as long as it is not too extreme, is an advantage, because it means that less of the crop's energy is used for growing the stem. Instead, this energy is used for seed/fruit/tuber production. The Green Revolution wheat and rice varieties were based on dwarfing genes Emasculation: The removal of anthers from a flower before the pollen is shed. To produce F1 hybrid seed in a species bearing monoecious flowers, emasculation is necessary to remove any possibility of self-pollination Epigenetic: heritable variation caused by differences in the chemistry of either the DNA (methylation) or the proteins associated with the DNA (histone acetylation), rather than in the DNA sequence itself Gamete: The haploid cell produced by meiosis.

  • Mendel's Laws of Heredity
    Mendel’s Laws of Heredity Why we look the way we look... What is heredity? ● The passing on of characteristics (traits) from parents to offspring ● Genetics is the study of heredity Studying genetics... More than 150 years ago, an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel observed that pea plants in his garden had different forms of certain characteristics. Mendel studied the characteristics of pea plants, such as seed color and flower color Mendel used peas... ● They reproduce sexually ● They have two distinct, male and female, sex cells called gametes ● Their traits are easy to isolate Mendel crossed them ● Fertilization - the uniting of male and female gametes ● Cross - combining gametes from parents with different traits What Did Mendel Find? ● He discovered different laws and rules that explain factors affecting heredity. Rule of Unit Factors ● Each organism has two alleles for each trait –Alleles - different forms of the same gene –Genes - located on chromosomes, they control how an organism develops Rule of Dominance ● The trait that is observed in the offspring is the dominant trait (uppercase) ● The trait that disappears in the offspring is the recessive trait (lowercase) Law of Segregation ● The two alleles for a trait must separate when gametes are formed ● A parent randomly passes only one allele for each trait to each offspring PARENT OFFSPRING Law of Independent Assortment ● The genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Questions... ● How many alleles are there for each trait? ●Two alleles control each trait. ● What is an allele? ●Different forms of the same gene. Questions... ● How many alleles does a parent pass on to each offspring for each trait? ● A parent passses only ONE allele for each trait to offspring.

  • 12.2 Characteristics and Traits
    334 Chapter 12 | Mendel's Experiments and Heredity 12.2 | Characteristics and Traits By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: • Explain the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes in dominant and recessive gene systems • Develop a Punnett square to calculate the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in a monohybrid cross • Explain the purpose and methods of a test cross • Identify non-Mendelian inheritance patterns such as incomplete dominance, codominance, recessive lethals, multiple alleles, and sex linkage Physical characteristics are expressed through genes carried on chromosomes. The genetic makeup of peas consists of two similar, or homologous, copies of each chromosome, one from each parent. Each pair of homologous chromosomes has the same linear order of genes. In other words, peas are diploid organisms in that they have two copies of each chromosome. The same is true for many other plants and for virtually all animals. Diploid organisms produce haploid gametes, which contain one copy of each homologous chromosome that unite at fertilization to create a diploid zygote. For cases in which a single gene controls a single characteristic, a diploid organism has two genetic copies that may or may not encode the same version of that characteristic. Gene variants that arise by mutation and exist at the same relative locations on homologous chromosomes are called alleles. Mendel examined the inheritance of genes with just two allele forms, but it is common to encounter more than two alleles for any given gene in a natural population. Phenotypes and Genotypes Two alleles for a given gene in a diploid organism are expressed and interact to produce physical characteristics.

  • Lecture No. IV
    Course: Fundamentals of Genetics Class: - Ist Year, IInd Semester Lecture No. IV Title of topic: - Monohybrid crosses, Di-hybrid crosses, Test cross and Back cross Prepared by- Vinod Kumar, Assistant Professor, (PB & G) College of Agriculture, Powarkheda Monohybrid crosses:—Crosses between parents that differed in a single characteristic. The character (S) being studied in a monohybrid cross are governed by two or multiple variations for a single locus. The Mendel’s first law i.e. Law of segregation or purity of gametes can be explained by considering the monohybrid ratio i.e. by studying inheritance of only one character. For example: In pea, round seed shape is dominant over wrinkled seed shape. Generation Parental Parents Female X Male Phenotype Round X Wrinkled Genotype RR X rr Gametes R r Generation F1 Rr (Heterozygous) Round On selfing: Parents Female X Male Phenotype Round X round Genotype Rr X Rr Gametes R r R r Generation F2 ♂ R r ♀ RR Rr R Round Round r Rr rr Round Wrinkled Phenotype ratio: 3 round : 1 wrinkled Genotypic ratio: 1 RR : 2Rr : 1rr Two different alleles of the same gene i.e. ‘R’ and ‘r’ were brought together in the hybrid (F1). Even though the hybrid was round seeded in the next generation (F2) it produced both round and wrinkled seeded progeny. Thus both the alleles for round shape (R) and wrinkled shape (r) remained together in the hybrid without contaminating each other. In F2 generation (selfing of (F1) hybrid), the different phenotypes could be recovered because the two alleles in F1 remained pure and did not contaminate each other thus producing two types of gametes from F1 i.e.

  • Module 2: Genetics
    Genetics Module B, Anchor 3 Key Concepts: - An individual’s characteristics are determines by factors that are passed from one parental generation to the next. - During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. - Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. - The principle of independent assortment states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. - Mendel’s principles of heredity, observed through patterns of inheritance, form the basis of modern genetics. - Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive. Many genes exist in several different forms and are therefore said to have multiple alleles. Many traits are produced by the interaction of several genes. - Environmental conditions can affect gene expression and influence genetically determined traits. - The DNA that makes up genes must be capable of storing, copying, and transmitting the genetic information in a cell. - DNA is a nucleic acid made up of nucleotides joined into long strands or chains by covalent bonds. - DNA polymerase is an enzyme that joins individual nucleotides to produce a new strand of DNA. - Replication in most prokaryotic cells starts from a single point and proceeds in both directions until the entire chromosome is copied. - In eukaryotic cells, replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule, proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied. - The main differences between DNA and RNA are that (1) the sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose; (2) RNA is generally single-stranded, not double-stranded; and (3) RNA contains uracil in place of thymine.

  • Punnett Squares
    What is Genetics? Genetics is the scientific study of heredity What is a Trait? A trait is a specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another. Examples: Brown hair, blue eyes, tall, curly What is an Allele? Alleles are the different possibilities for a given trait. Every trait has at least two alleles (one from the Examples of Alleles: A = Brown Eyes mother and one from the a = Blue Eyes father) B = Green Eyes b = Hazel Eyes Example: Eye color – Brown, blue, green, hazel What are Genes? Genes are the sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait. Gregor Mendel Father of Genetics 1st important studies of heredity Identified specific traits in the garden pea and studied them from one generation to another Mendel’s Conclusions 1.Law of Segregation – Two alleles for each trait separate when gametes form; Parents pass only one allele for each trait to each offspring 2.Law of Independent Assortment – Genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other Dominant vs. Recessive Dominant - Masks the other trait; the trait that shows if present Represented by a capital letter R Recessive – An organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that trait when the dominant allele is not present; Will only show if both alleles are present Represented by a lower case letter r Dominant & Recessive Practice T – straight hair t - curly hair TT - Represent offspring with straight hair Tt - Represent offspring with straight hair tt - Represents offspring with curly hair Genotype vs. Phenotype Genotype – The genetic makeup of an organism; The gene (or allele) combination an organism has.
