Introduction
Allele: is one member of pair or series of different forms of a gene found on the same locus on homologous chromosome
Gamete: Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes (23 for humans)
Gene: part of DNA molecule found in the chromosome that determines a polypeptide through which an inheritable trait is expressed
Genotype: The genetic constitution of an organism (only one or two genes are considered at one time). Genotype can be homozygous or heterozygous
Dominant allele: A gene is said to be dominant if it expresses its phenotype even in the presence of a recessive gene.

1.1. Terminologies
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 5 of 10
Phenotype: Observable trait / traits of an individual; arises from interactions between genes, & between genes & the environment. Phenotype determines individual structure, physiology & behaviour that include followings:
(a) character that can be observed.eg. Colour
(b) character that can be felt. eg. Texture of the hair
(c) character that can be tested serologically. eg. Blood group
(d) quantitative character that can be measured including
intelligence using IQ test.

1.1. Terminologies
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 6 of 10
Heterozygote: a person possessing two different forms of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent. A heterozygote is also called a carrier (Eg. Pp, Tt)
Homozygous: genotype of an individual that has any of a pair or more of alleles considered are identical eg. AA, aa, AABB, Aabb, aaBB or aabb
Homozygote: diploid individual with two identical alleles at a given locus.

Reasons:
(a) could be grown easily in large numbers
(b) had a short life cycle
(c) their pollination could be controlled
(d) their reproduction could be manipulated
(e) had easily observable characteristics.

1.2.2 Monohybrid cross
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 15 of 10
Monohydrid cross
Height of plant must have been determined by certain factors
Factors occur in pairs, because the offsprings of the F2 generation were both tall & short
F1 generation must contain both tall & shorts factors
Two types of factor
(a) dominant: tall hides the effect of short
(b) recessive: short is recessive to being tall; hidden by the dominant factor

1.2.2 Monohybrid cross
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 16 of 10
Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance
Mendel first law of inheritance (The law of segregation)
(a) states that from only one parent only one factor (allele) is passes from the parent to the offspring through the gamete.
(b) This law can be explained by meiosis. In garden pea that is diploid, a heterozygous yellow seed (Yy) can only transmit one of the alleles to each of its offspring. (Y is a dominant allele for yellow seed coat whereas y is a recessive allele for green seed coat)
Parent (P1): Yy (yellow)
Gametes: Y y
(c) Each gamete can only obtain one allele from the parent because meiosis reduces a diploid gamete mother cell to haploid gamete

GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 18 of 10
(d) Mendel used garden pea plants for his experiments. One of the characters was seed colour. He started by crossing two pure breeding strains; eg. One had yellow & the other had green seeds. He then allowed the offsprings (F1 generation of first filial generation) to self-fertilise (selfing) & the results are always the same as follows:
P1: YY X yy
Phenotype: yellow green
Gametes: Y y
F1: Yy
Phenotypes: yellow
18
1.2.2 Monohybrid cross
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 19 of 10
(e) The F2 generation (second filial generation obtained by random crossing or selfing of the F1 generation) has a ratio of ¾ of one character and ¼ of the contrasting character, the classical Mendelian ration is 3:1
P2 (selfing): Yy X Yy
Phenotype: yellow yellow
Gamete: Y y Y y
F2: YY Yy Yy yy
Phenotype: yellow yellow yellow green
Genotypic ratio= ¼ YY : ½ Yy : ¼ yy
Phenotypic ratio= ¾ yellow : ¼ green

Dihybrid cross
(f) He repeated his experiment using several contrasting characteristics, which include tall & dwarf plants, round & wrinkled seeds, inflated & constricted pods, red & white flower. Therefore, he concluded that each plant carried two factors through only one factor was exhibited in F1. When selfed, the F1 would segregate the factors & produced the characteristic ratio.

Hybrib not accordance to Mendel Law
Codominance: when both alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygous form.
Eg. Human MN blood typing2 antigens, M & N, which are determined by a gene with 2
alleles, LM & LN
Individual with genotype LM LM will have only M antigen in their RBC
LN LN: N antigen onlyLM LN: M & N antigens

1.3.2 Imcomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance: a blending of traits, condition when neither allele is dominant over the other
Recognised by the heterozygote expressing an intermediate phenotype relative to the parental phenotypes
Eg. Red flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant, all progeny will be pink.

Only two of these alleles are presented in an individual They combine to form genotypes that result from codominance.

means of recombination frequencies The percentage of recombinant phenotypes can be used to map the
chromosomes Why? – Direct relationship btw frequency of crossing-over & the
percentage of recombinant phenotypes

Introduction
Population genetics is the study of genes in a population
i.e. the study of Mendelian inheritance mathematically in a population
The population in this context is a Mendelian population, consisting of only one species of diploid organisms, which reproduce sexually within a certain geographical border
The study of population is important for the understanding of evolution. Evolution is not the change of one individual but that of a population over a long period of time
The study of population genetics reconciles the fact of Darwin theory of evolution with that of Mendelian genetics
42
1.1. Hardy-Weinberg Law
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 43 of 10
Darwin theory of natural selection is based on variation created by mutation in the form of different genes / alleles. Individuals with certain combination of alleles survive over the years bringing about changes in a population
The change in allelic frequency caused by environmental forces is evolution
43
1.1. Hardy-Weinberg Law
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 44 of 10
For easy calculation, a concept based on one gene locus is treated at one time. So, gene pool is diagrammatically represented as
A gene pool of A & a alleles

The change in allelic frequency caused by environmental forces is evolution
45
1.1. Hardy-Weinberg Law
1.2. Principle
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 46 of 10
Only one gene or locus is considered. That locus consists of dominant & recessive alleles,
i.e. A & a allelesThe frequencies of alleles A & a depend on the
genotypic frequencies of AA, Aa & aa. Hence, if the frequency of AA is very high, the frequency of A would be high too.
From the frequencies of the alleles, the frequencies of the genotypes of the next generation can be calculated if we assumed that random fertilisation of the gametes occurs.
46
1.2. Principle
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 47 of 10
Concept of a Gene Pool
A gene pool is an aggregate of genes/gametes of a Mendelian population from which the next generation is produced
It can be considered as the total genetic information possessed by reproductive members in a population of sexually reproducing organisms.
Genes in the pool have dynamic relationships with one another & with the environment around where the organisms live
Environmental factors such as selection can alter allelic frequencies & cause evolutionary changes in the population
47
1.2. Principle
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 48 of 10
Hardy-Weinberg Law
States that after one generation of random mating, a population will become in equilibrium
i.e. the allelic & genotypic frequencies will not change from one generation to the other
However, equilibrium is only achieved depending on conditions / assumptions as follows:
(a) the population must be large
(b) the mating must be random or panmitic
(c) there must not be any selection
(d) there must not be any migration
(e) there must not be any mutation
(f) meiosis must be normal
48
1.2. Principle
GENETICS MENDELS LAW
Slide 49 of 10
Uses of the law / its formula
To study the changes of gene frequencies in a wild population so that the direction & rate of evolution can be determined.
To study the changes of gene frequencies in an artificial population such as that of a herd of cattle / a plantation of crop.
To plan for breeding programme so that a large population of animals or plants can be manipulated to produce more quantitatively and/or qualitatively
