Gregor Mendel
• Modern genetics began in the mid-1800s in an abbey garden, where a monk named Gregor Mendel documented inheritance in peas– used good experimental design– used mathematical analysis
• collected data & counted them
– excellent example of scientific method

Mendel’s work
• Bred pea plants– cross-pollinate
true breeding parents– raised seed & then
observed traits– allowed offspring
to self-pollinate & observed next generation
?
self-pollinate
Mendel collected data for 7 pea traits
Each trait is represented by a specific allele on a specific chromosome.
Allele = genes that determine a specific trait.

What did Mendel’s findings mean?• Some traits mask others
– purple & white flower colors are separate traits that do not blend
• purple x white ≠ light purple• purple masked white
– dominant allele • functional protein
– affects characteristic• masks other alleles
– recessive allele • no noticeable effect• allele makes a
non-functioning protein

Genotype vs. phenotype
• Difference between how an organism “looks” & its genetics– phenotype
• Form of the trait that gets expressed“what you see”
– genotype • An organism’s actual alleles
Explain Mendel’s results using…dominant & recessive …phenotype & genotype F1

Inheritance of genes• On the chromosomes passed from Mom &
Dad to offspring are genes– may be same information– may be different information
eye color(blue or brown?)
eye color(blue or brown?)
Remember how Meiosis separates the alleles into sex cells?
This separation is called the Law of Segregation.

Effect of genes
• Genes come in different versions– brown vs. blue eyes– brown vs. blonde hair– Alleles = different forms of a gene
Homozygous = same
Heterozygous = different
Homozygous = same
Heterozygous = differentHomozygous dominant = AAHomozygous recessive = aaHeterozygous = Aa

Where did the blue eyes come from??
• Genes come in “versions”– brown vs. blue eye color– Alleles (different forms of a gene)
• Alleles are inherited separately from each parent– brown & blue eye colors are separate & do
not blend • either have brown or blue eyes, not a blend
• Some alleles mask others– brown eye color masked blue
How does this work?
eye color(brown?)
hair color
hair color

(blue?)
• Paired chromosomes have same kind of genes– but may be different alleles
Traits are inherited as separate units
1 from Mom
1 from Dad
• For each trait, an organism inherits 2 copies of a gene, 1 from each parent– a diploid organism inherits
1 set of chromosomes from each parent• diploid = 2 sets (copies) of chromosomes
homologous chromosomes

Genetics vs. appearance
• There can be a difference between how an organism looks & its genetics– appearance or trait = phenotype
• brown eyes vs. blue eyes
– genetic makeup = genotype• BB, Bb, bb
2 people can have the same appearance but have different genetics: BB vs Bb

Extending Mendelian genetics• Mendel worked with a simple system
– peas are genetically simple– most traits are controlled by single gene– each gene has only 2 version
• 1 completely dominant (A)• 1 recessive (a)
• But its usually not that simple!

Incomplete dominance
• Hybrids have “in-between” appearance– RR = red flowers– rr = white flowers– Rr = pink flowers
• make 50% less color

Codominance• Equal dominance
– Chickens• A black-feathered chicken is crossed with a white-
feathered chicken.• All of the babies are white with black speckling.• Both white and black show up equally.

Multiple Alleles• More than one allele to select from.
– Blood “types” can be A, B, AB, or O.– The alleles to make these types include A, B and i.– “i” is the recessive allele and A and B are both
dominant.– So to get…
• Type A you must have AA or Ai• Type B you must have BB or Bi• Type AB you must have AB• Type O you must have ii
BLOODBlood cells have antigens and antibodies.
Antigens are tiny receptors on the outside of the blood cell that matches the “type.”
Antibodies are what the cell doesn’t like (which is anything different from the “type.”)

affect only one trait• But most genes are affect many traits
– 1 gene affects more than 1 trait• dwarfism (achondroplasia)• gigantism (acromegaly)

• Polygenic inheritance– additive effects of many genes– humans
• skin color• height• weight• eye color• intelligence• behaviors
Polygenic =

Human skin color• AaBbCc x AaBbCc
– range of shades– most children =

Albinism is the absence of pigment.
Coat color in other animals• 2 genes: E,e and B,b
– color (E) or no color (e)– how dark color will be: black (B) or brown (b)

SEX and GENES
• Women & men are very different, but just a few genes create that difference
• In mammals = 2 sex chromosomes
– X & Y– 2 X chromosomes = female: XX– X & Y chromosome = male: XY
X Y
X X
Sex chromosomes
Sex-linked traits
• Sex chromosomes have other genes on them, too– especially the X chromosome– hemophilia in humans
• blood doesn’t clot
– Duchenne muscular dystrophy in humans• loss of muscle control
– red-green color blindness• see green & red as shades of grey

Most Common AlleleDominant or Recessive • Because an allele is dominant
does not mean…– it is better, or– it is more common
Polydactylydominant allele
Either One!
accessexcellence.org
biocrawler.com thelastoutpost.com
Polydactyly
Recessive allele far more common than dominant only 1 individual out of 500
has more than 5 fingers/toes so 499 out of 500 people are
homozygous recessive (aa)
the allele for >5 fingers/toes is DOMINANT & the allele for 5 digits is recessive
individuals are born with extra fingers or toes
