Title: Analyzing Inheritance
1Analyzing Inheritance
Section 11-1
- Offspring resemble their parents. Offspring
inherit genes for characteristics from their
parents. To learn about inheritance, scientists
have experimented with breeding various plants
and animals. - In each experiment shown in the table on the next
slide, two pea plants with different
characteristics were bred. Then, the offspring
produced were bred to produce a second generation
of offspring. Consider the data and answer the
questions that follow.
2Section 11-1
- 1. In the first generation of each experiment,
how do the characteristics of the offspring
compare to the parents characteristics? - 2. How do the characteristics of the second
generation compare to the characteristics of the
first generation?

- 111 The Work of Mendel
- Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was a monk at a
monastery in Brunn, Austria - He taught school and did other chores, but in his
spare time he set out to study plant breeding - He started breeding pea plants about 1855
- He wanted to learn the rules of heredity so that
better varieties could be produced
5Section 11-1
- 111 cont.
- Mendels original pea plants were true-breeding.
- When allowed to self-pollinate they produced
offspring identical to themselves - Mendel wanted to cross-pollinate the plants and
study the results - Mendel studied seven different pea plant traits
(specific characteristic that varies from
individual to individual) with 2 contrasting
characteristics

- 111 cont.
- Mendel called each original pair of plants the
- P Generation (parental) and the offspring of
these the F1 generation (first filial) - Mendel produced hybrids when he crossed parents
with different traits and to his surprise the
offspring only resembled one of the parents

10Section 11-1
- 111 cont.
- Mendel drew 2 conclusions from this experiment
- Biological inheritance is determined by factors
that are passed from one generation to the next
today known as genes - Principle of Dominance which states that some
alleles (different forms of a gene) are dominant
and others are recessive
11Section 11-1
- 111 cont.
- Dominant alleles will always exhibit that form of
the trait and is represented with a capital
letter - ex. (T) - Tall
- Recessive alleles will only exhibit that form of
the trait if the dominant allele is not present
and is represented with a lower case letter - ex. (t) - short
12Section 11-1
- 111 cont.
- Mendel then allowed his F1 hybrid plants to
self-pollinate to produce an F2 generation
(second filial) - Traits controlled by the recessive alleles
reappeared in ¼ of the F2 generation - Mendel explained that the dominant allele masked
the recessive allele in the F1 generation and due
to the segregation of alleles during gamete
formation reappeared in the F2 generation

15Tossing Coins
Section 11-2
- If you toss a coin, what is the probability of
getting heads? Tails? If you toss a coin 10
times, how many heads and how many tails would
you expect to get? Working with a partner, have
one person toss a coin ten times while the other
person tallies the results on a sheet of paper.
Then, switch tasks to produce a separate tally of
the second set of 10 tosses.
16Section 11-2
1. Assuming that you expect 5 heads and 5 tails
in 10 tosses, how do the results of your tosses
compare? How about the results of your partners
tosses? How close was each set of results to what
was expected? 2. Add your results to those of
your partner to produce a total of 20 tosses.
Assuming that you expect 10 heads and 10 tails in
20 tosses, how close are these results to what
was expected? 3. If you compiled the results for
the whole class, what results would you
expect? 4. How do the expected results differ
from the observed results?

18Section 11-2
- 112 Probability and Punnett Squares
- Probability is the likelihood that a particular
event will occur and Mendel realized that the
principles of probability could be used in
predicting the outcomes of genetic crosses
19Section 11-2
- 112 cont.
- Punnett Squares can be used to predict and
compare the genetic variations that will result
from a cross - The gametes are shown along the top and left side
- Possible gene combinations of the offsping appear
in the boxes
20Tt X Tt Cross

21Tt X Tt Cross
Section 11-2
22Section 11-2
- 112 cont.
- Homozygous organisms are true-breeding which
means they have two identical alleles for a
particular trait - Ex. TT
- Heterozygous organisms are hybrids that have two
different alleles for the same trait - Ex. Tt
23Section 11-2
- 112 cont.
- Genotype vs. Phenotype
- The genotype is the actual genetic makeup of the
traits, while the phenotype is the actual
physical characteristics of an organism

2511-3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics
- After proving that alleles segregate in the
formation of gametes, Mendel wanted to know if
they did so independently did the segregation
of one pair of alleles affect the segregation of
other pairs? - Two-Factor Cross F1
- - Mendel crossed homozygous round yellow peas
(RRYY) with wrinkled green peas (rryy). - - F1 were all round yellow (RrYy)
26- Two-Factor F2
- - Mendel knew F1s were heterozygous for both
traits - - when allowed to self-fertilize the F1 gave rise
to F2s w/ a - definite ratio
- - this led Mendel to his Principle of Independent
Assortment - - alleles for different characteristics segregate
independently of - each other so as long as genes for two traits
are on - different chromosomes every combination of
alleles is possible.

which is called the
which is called the
29Incomplete Dominance
- when neither allele is dominant over the other
- - heterozygotes differ phenotypically from either
- homozygote
- Ex. Four Oclock plants
- - RR red
- - WW white
- - RW pink
- this is not blending because red and white
- flowers will reappear.

Section 11-3
31Figure 11-11 Incomplete Dominance in Four
OClock Flowers
Section 11-3
32Codominance
- situation in which both alleles contribute to
the phenotype - - both are expressed if present
- Ex. chickens white and black feathers are
codominant - - heterozygotes produce both white and black
feathers - A and B alleles in human blood types
33Multiple Alleles
- when a gene has more than two alleles
- - each individual still only gets two of the
possible alleles that exist in the population - Ex. Human blood groups
- - three alleles A, B, O
- - A and B are codominant
- - O is recessive
34Polygenic Traits
- traits which are influenced by several genes
- - results in a wide range of phenotypes
- Ex. Human height, skin color, color in eyes of
fruitflies
35Height in Humans
Section 11-3
- Height in pea plants is controlled by one of two
alleles the allele for a tall plant is the
dominant allele, while the allele for a short
plant is the recessive one. What about people?
Are the factors that determine height more
complicated in humans?
36Section 11-3
- 1. Make a list of 10 adults whom you know. Next
to the name of each adult, write his or her
approximate height in feet and inches. - 2. What can you observe about the heights of the
ten people? - 3. Do you think height in humans is controlled by
2 alleles, as it is in pea plants? Explain your
answer.
37Applying Mendels Principles
- Mendels principles apply to all organisms
- - Thomas Hunt Morgan began use of fruitflies
- - ideal organism
- - fast breeder
- - lots of young
- - many observable traits
- - small size
- - Environment also affects development of
organisms
38Sex Linkage
- - genes located on autosomes behave as we have
studied - - genes located on the sex chromosomes often
exhibit a unique - pattern of inheritance.
- - in mammals females have two X-chromosomes (XX)
- - in mammals males have an X and a Y chromosome
(XY) - - the Y chromosome has a gene (SRY) that makes
the - embryo male
- - but Y has fewer genes than X and so males only
get one - copy of some genes on the Y
- - genes that males only get one copy of are
sex-linked and are - expressed more often in males than females
- - color-blindness, muscular dystrophy

40- The most important fact of mitosis is that each
daughter cell has the exact same genetic make-up
as the original cell. - Gregor Mendel The Father of Genetics
- - didnt know where genes were located
- - described in detail how genes must move in the
- formation of gametes and subsequent
fertilization - - each organism must inherit a single copy of
every gene from both of its parents - - each offspring therefore has two copies of
each gene - - these two copies must be separated to form
the gametes of this organism
41- Chromosome Number
- Normal body cells contain two copies of each
chromosome - one received from each of the two parents
- Homologous chromosomes
- Same shape, size, and contain the same genes in
same order - Diploid term used to describe a cell with
homologous chromosomes - Symbol 2N
- Found in all normal body (somatic) cells
- Haploid term describing a cell with a single
copy of each chromosome - Symbol N
- Found in gametes (sex cells)
42- Phases of Meiosis
- Meiosis is a process of reduction division in
which the chromosome number per cell is cut in
half through the separation of homologous
chromosomes in a diploid cell. (Diploid ?
Haploid) (2N ? N) - - requires two distinct divisions Meiosis I
and Meiosis II - - allows organisms to reproduce sexually and
maintain the normal diploid number in the
offspring - Meiosis I Reduction Division (Figure 11.15, pg
276) - - prior to meiosis I the chromosomes replicate
43- A. Prophase I
- - nucleolus, nuclear membrane break down
- - centrioles migrate to poles
- - homologous chromosomes pair up to form tetrads
4 - chromatids
- - crossing-over occurs
- - homologous chromosomes exchange portions of
- themselves which results in a mixing of genes
between the two chromosomes
44Crossing-Over
Section 11-4
45- B. Metaphase I
- - tetrads line-up at the equator of the cell
- C. Anaphase I
- - homologous pairs separate
- - sister chromatids stay connected at their
centromeres - D. Telophase I
- - nuclear membranes reform around the
chromosomes and cytyokinesis takes place - - each cell is now haploid
46- No DNA replication takes place before Meiosis
II - 2. Meiosis II (Figure 11.15, page 277)
- - each cells chromosomes consist of two
chromatids connected at the centromere - A) Prophase II
- - just like prophase in mitosis
- B) Metaphase II
- - chromosomes align at center of cell
- C) Anaphase II
- - sister chromatids are separated at the
centromere and are pulled to opposite poles - D) Telophase II
- - new nuclear envelopes appear
- - cytokinesis occurs

Meiosis I results in two haploid (N) daughter
cells, each with half the number of chromosomes
as the original.
The chromosomes line up in a similar way to the
metaphase stage of mitosis.
The sister chromatids separate and move toward
opposite ends of the cell.
Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter
cells.
48- Results of Meiosis Four haploid cells which are
genetically unique - Gamete formation (Figure 11.17, page 278)
- - in male animals and the pollen grains of plants
the haploid gametes are called sperm cells - - in female animals generally only one of the
cells formed by meiosis develops into an egg - - in female animals uneven cytokinesis at the
end of Meiosis I and Meiosis II result in a
large egg and 3 polar bodies
49How Many Chromosomes?
Interest Grabber
Section 11-4
- Normal human body cells each contain 46
chromosomes. The cell division process that body
cells undergo is called mitosis and produces
daughter cells that are virtually identical to
the parent cell. Working with a partner, discuss
and answer the questions that follow.
50Interest Grabber continued
Section 11-4
- 1. How many chromosomes would a sperm or an egg
contain if either one resulted from the process
of mitosis? - 2. If a sperm containing 46 chromosomes fused
with an egg containing 46 chromosomes, how many
chromosomes would the resulting fertilized egg
contain? Do you think this would create any
problems in the developing embryo? - 3. In order to produce a fertilized egg with the
appropriate number of chromosomes (46), how many
chromosomes should each sperm and egg have?

- 1. In the first generation of each experiment,
how do the characteristics of the offspring
compare to the parents characteristics? - All offspring had the same characteristic, which
was like one of the parents. The other
characteristic seemed to have disappeared. - 2. How do the characteristics of the second
generation compare to the characteristics of the
first generation? - Both characteristics appeared in this
generation. The characteristic that had
disappeared in the first generation did not
appear as often as the other characteristic. (It
