Gregor Mendel

- "Father of genetics"


- Formulated basic laws of genetics

Alleles

- Two alternate forms of a gene for each trait in body cells


- On the chromosome

Homozygous dominant

Two dominant alleles, GG

Homozygous recessive

Two recessive alleles, gg

Heterozygous

One dominant and one recessive allele, Gg

Genotype

Refers to individual's genes (GG, gg, or Gg)

Phenotype

Refers to individual's appearance

Punnett Squares

- Allow easy determination of the results of a cross between individuals whose genotypes are known

Phenotypic ratio

The ratio of dominant and recessive offspring based on their phenotype

Monohybrid cross

Reproduction between two heterozygous individuals


Phenotypic Ratio - 3:1

Law of Segregation

Each organisms contains two alleles for each trait, and the alleles segregate during the formation of gametes. Each gamete contains one allele. The new organism has 2 alleles, one from each parent.

Dihybrid Cross

When 2 dihybrid individuals reproduce (AaBb)




Phenotypic ratio - 9:3:3:1

Law of Independent Assortment

Members of an allelic pair segregate independently of members of another allelic pair.

Autosomes

Pair of chromosomes that do not actively determine sex

Sex chromosomes

XX or XY

X-linked genes

- Alleles on the X chromosome that have nothing to do with gender


- Almost none in the Y chromosome

Chi-Square (x2) test

Statistical test used to determine whether obtained data provide "good fit" approximation to the expected data




Formula: x2 = E (d2/e)


x^2 = chi-square, E = sum of, d = different between the expected and observed results, e = expected results

P Value (probability)

If greater than 0.10, generally considered acceptable


If lower than 0.10, do not support the hypothesis

Sum of { (Difference) ^2 / expected results}

Chi-square x^2 Formula

AaBb x aabb

What type of dihybrid parental genotype cross would result in a phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1?

9:3:3:1

What is the phenotypic ratio of a heterozygous dihybrid cross?

AABB x AABB


aabb x aabb

Crosses that cannot produce dihybrid heterozygous in both traits

X - linked

Some alleles on the X chromosome that have nothing to do with gener

Hetero,


recessive

Males with a normal chromosome inheritance are never ________zygous for X-linked alleles, and if they inherit a ____________ X-linked allele it will be expressed.

Mother, if inherited from father, then it would be a female (XX)

Regardless of any type cross, do white-eyed (recessive) males inherit the allele for white eyes from their father or mother?

Egg


Blastoderm


Embryo


Instar


Larva


Pupa


Metamorphosis

Life cycle of Drosophila
