Genetics
analysis of inheritance patterns to identify and characterize genes
Genes
biological factors that induce specific traits
Alleles
Alternate forms of a given gene inherited from different parents
Locus
location of chomosome often used to refer to gene at that site
Independent Assortment
inheritance of alleles at one locus do not influence inheritance at other loci
Autosomal
any gene not located on C, not associated with X
F1 gametes
independent assortment
Genotype of F1 gametes
1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1
Phenotype of F1 gametes
9:3:3:1
9/16
Dominant for both loci
3/16
Dominant for 1st loci recessive for 2nd
1/16
recessive for both loci
Cross a hetero/homo Dominant with _________ to figure out genotype
homozygous recessive
Complementation asks
2 mutants w same phenotype made by mutations on same gene or seperate genes
Mutations in dif genes are complmentary bc
F1 are wild type heterozygous
non-Mendelian inheritance
semidominance, codominance, polygenic inheritance, epistasis, X-linkage, sex-influences inhertiance, linkage
Semidominance
partial or incomplete dominance, different alleles for a particular gene have equal effects...heterozygotes= intermed phenotype
Heterozygouse snapdragon flowers
pink
Phenotype and genotype ratios in semiodominant
the same 1:2:1
Codominance
different alleles for a gene that impart independent effects on phenotype (blood types) but A/B codom neither is dom to each other
Polygenic Inheritance
multiple genes influencing same trait
Epistasis
gene to mask phenotype of another gene at another locus, gene supressing the phenotype of a totally diff gene
Gene masking phenotype
Supressor
Supressed gene
hypostatic
More males than females affects think
colorblind!
Xinactivation
inactive one X chromosome in each blastomere, inactivated X become condensed known as Barr bodies
Barr body creation called
dosage compensation
X chromosome inactivation happens in
64 cell stage early in embryogenesis
Women are
genetic mosaics
LInkage
2 genes so close they segragate together during inheritance
Linkage goes against
independent assortment
If alleles for 2 genes on same homolog are both dominant or both recessive they are in
cis conformation
If dom and recessive on one homology and recessive dom on another homolog they are in
trans conformation
If loci are farther apart then
greater chance for crossing over
Recombinant frequency is proportional to
distance between loci
Genes are linked if
the numbers are different for genotypes
Recombinant type progeny
infrequenct crossovers between linked genes
Non-recombinant progeny is referred to as
parental type progeny resemble same conformation
Map units
percent recombination between 2 loci
Max number of map units between genes
50
If distance is greater than 50
equal chance for having an equal or odd number of crossovers between loci...so can same change to produce parental genotype or recombinants
Genes 50 MU apart or greater are not
linked
Monozygotic twins
develop from same zygot 100%
Dizygotic
2 diff zygotes..50%
Multifactorial traits
multiple factors both genetic and environmental (body weight)
Polygenic inheritance
for a trait to be controlled by multiple genes
polymorphism
multiple alleles in a populartion for a gene
heritability
estimate how much genetics contributes to a given trait
quantitiative multifactorial traits
can be assigned a numerical value
qualititative multifactorial traits
cannot be assigned a numerical value either occur or not at all, all or NONE
Cases at extreme tails of bel curve happen to be influences by
high proportion of factors (inherited genes and environmental conditions) pushing them to extreme
qualititative examples
heart attack, stroke, cancer, schizo, manic-depression, cleft palate, neural tube defcts, pyloric stenosis
qualitiative traits are plotted as
chance of manifesting the trait
threshold point
where chances for developing cancer are so high it will occur during the persons life
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium
genes and alleles are distributed through a population, model assumes that the distribution, frequency of each allele, is a steady state
p
frequency of most abundant allele in populatoin
q
lower allelic frequency
p^2
frequency of nomral individuals usualy homozygous dominant
2pq
heterozygous frequency, carrier frequency
q^2
affected frequency, homozygous recessive= incidence
p and q are
allelic frequencies
p^2, q^2, 2pq are
genotypic frequencies
primary assumption in hardy-weinberg
population at equilibrium means gene frequencies are constant
4 mechanisms for changing gene frequencies (secondary assumptions)
mutatoin, genetic drift, migratoin, selection
Fitness
ability to pass geens onto next generation NOT the ability to survive
CF recessive allele (q) frequency is
.045 or 1/22
Chance child is homozygous for mutates allel (.045) ^2
.002
