Definitions
Two important terms in genetics are genotype and phenotype.
Genotype refers to the genetic makup of an organism. In our mice, for example, a white mouse will always have the genotype bb. A black mouse may have the genotype BB or BB.
Phenotype refers to the physical appearance of a trait in an organism. For example, a mouse may be heterozygous for fur color, with the genotype Bb, but the phenotype will be that the mouse is black.
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (15 of 212)
Alleles
Pea plants have several traits that are easy to identify. For example, the plants may be either tall or short.
This characteristic is controlled by a single gene, which has two alleles.
Tall is the dominant characteristic, so we use the notation:
Title: Dec 3­1:31 PM (16 of 212)
Tall allele :
T
Short allele:
t
Homozygous
A true breeding tall plant will be homozygous tall.
TT (both genes carry the dominant allele)
A short plant will be homozygous short.
tt (both genes carry the recessive allele)
Title: Dec 3­1:31 PM (17 of 212)
Heterozygous
A heterozygous plant carries one of each allele.
Tt
Because the allele for tall is dominant, the tall characteristic is still expressed.

Monohybrid Cross
Use a diagram to outline the following hypothetical crossing.
One species of mouse may be either black or white, with fur color being controlled by a single gene. The allele for black fur is dominant to the allele for white fur.
If a purebred black mouse is bred to a purebred white mouse, what will the physical color of the offspring be? What will their genetic makeup be?
Use a diagram to explain your answer!
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (24 of 212)

Use a Punnett square to explain your answer!
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (26 of 212)
Monohybrid Cross ­ Solution
This cross will result in two phenotypes, with 75% being black and 25% being white. However, there are three possible genotypes:
25% homozygous black; 50% heterozygous (but still having black fur, the dominant trait); and 25% homozygous white
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (27 of 212)
Punnett Squares
In the previous example using mice, the Punnet square allows us to easily see the possible results of an F 1 cross.
Female gametes are generally placed across the top
Male gametes are generally placed down the left side
You need to know the genotype
of both parents to fill in the possible
gametes.
B
B
Since the F1 mice are all heterozygous,
they could each produce a B or a b b
gamete (ie: a gamete carrying either the dominant or recessive allele)
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (28 of 212)
b
Punnett Squares
Fill in the square, and analyze the results.
By filling in the possible combinations, you can see that:
1/4 offspring are BB, or homozygous dominant, and will have black fur
2/4, in other words 1/2, are Bb, or heterozygous , and will have black fur
1/4 offspring are bb, or homozygous recessive , and will have white fur

In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes.
Show the F1 generation results of a cross between a purebreeding red­eyed fly and a purebreeding white­eyed fly. Describe the ratio of phenotypes and genotypes in this generation.
Then, show the F2 generation results, and describe the ratio of phenotypes and genotypes in this generation.
Give about 5 minutes to complete this question, then review the solution on the following pages.
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (30 of 212)
Sample Problem ­ Solution
Because both parents are pure­breeding , they are both homozygous .
As a result, each gamete from either parent will carry the same allele.
Therefore, all offspring in the F 1 generation are heterozygous , and will display the dominant trait ...in this case, red eyes.
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (31 of 212)
Sample Problem ­ Solution
100% of the F1 offspring will display the red­eyed phenotype, and be heterozygous (genotype)
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (32 of 212)
Sample Problem ­ Solution
When you cross two of the F 1 flies, both parents are heterozygous .
In the F 2 generation, you get a distinct pattern of phenotypes, with 75% showing the dominant trait and 25% showing the recessive trait . However, when you look at the genotypes, you see that only 25% are homozygous dominant; 50% are heterozygous ; and 25% are homozygous recessive .

Determining Genotypes ­ Test Cross
If you look at a fruit fly, can you determine the genotype for eye coloe by observing the phenotype?
You can if the fly is white­eyed, because the white­eye allele is recessive...so the only way a fly could have white eyes would be if it was homozygous.
rr
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (56 of 212)
Determining Genotypes ­ Test Cross
But what if the fly has red eyes?
There are two possible genotypes that produce red eyes:
RR
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (57 of 212)
Rr
Determining Genotypes ­ Test Cross
In this case, the genotype can be determined by performing a test cross.
This involves crossing the fly with a fly which is homozygous recessive for the trait being observed. By observing the phenotypes of the offspring, you can then determine the genotype of the unknown parent.
Use Punnett squares to predict the percentages of phenotypes if a white­
eyed (homozygous recessive) female fly is crossed with a red eyed male.
You will need to create one Punnett square to show the results if the male is homozygous, and one to show the expected results if the male is heterozygous.

Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Multiple Traits
It is possible to look at more than one trait at a time.
For example, in pea plants you could look at both color and the shape of the seed.
Color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, Y (yellow) and y (green)
Shape is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, R (round) and r (wrinkled)
What are the results of crossing a true­breeding yellow, round plant with a true­breeding green, wrinkled plant?

Law of Independent Assortment
Inheritance of alleles for one trait does not affect the inheritance of alleles for another trait.
In other words, alleles for different characteristics are passed on to the offspring independently of one another, so that the offspring may have combinations that are different from either of the parents.

Incomplete Dominance
Not all traits are completely dominant or recessive. In some cases, neither allele is dominant...in these cases, a heterozygous individual will display a blending of the two traits. This is called incomplete dominance.
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (128 of 212)
Incomplete Dominance
For example, some flowers have petal color controlled by a single gene with two alleles: one coding for red color, the other for white. If the individual is homozygous for either allele, this is the petal color that will be displayed.

Codominance
Codominance is similar to incomplete dominance, except both traits are dominant. In this case, homozygous individuals display one trait, while heterozygous individuals display both traits, not as a blending of the two, but showing both characteristics partially.

Multiple Alleles
Not all traits are controlled by genes with only two alleles; some have multiple alleles.
In humans, for example, the A, B and O blood types are determined by three alleles, two of which are co­dominant and one of which is recessive.
The IA allele results in blood type A; the IB allele results in blood type B; and the i allele, being recessive, results in blood type O.
Remember that the blood types are determined by antigens on the surface of blood cells. These antigens are proteins, so the gene codes for the production of these antigens...in type O, the gene does not code for production of an antigen.

Testcross Question
If you had a brown cow and wanted to know its genotype, how would you perform a testcross?
A testcross is not necessary if traits show incomplete or co­
dominance...because the phenotype tells you the genotype!

Title: 16.3 (177 of 212)
Chromosomes and Heredity
Mendel did his work by esperimentation, before scientists knew what chromosomes or DNA were. Still, he was able to conclude that characteristics were determined by pairs of "factors", and that one factor was donated to an offspring by each parent. He also stated that inheritance of one factor did not affect the inheritance of other factors; this became the Law of Independent Assortment.
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (178 of 212)
Chromosomes and Heredity
It wasn't until the 1900s that scientists were able to determine that Mendel's "factors" were located on chromosomes. Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri made the connection while studying the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis. They noticed that chromosomes occur in pairs, and that during meiosis, the chromosome pairs align at the cell's equator, and are then segregated (separated) independently. This meant that each gamete receives one chromosome from each pair, and this one does not influence which other chromosomes end up in the gamete. This allowed them to come up with the Chromosome Theory of Inheritance.
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (179 of 212)
Chromosomes Theory of Inheritance
The theory contains two main points:
1)
Mendel's factors of inheritance, or genes, are carried
on the chromosomes
2)
The segregation and independent assortment of
chromosomes during meiosis accounts for the patterns
of inheritance.

Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (183 of 212)
Sex­Linked Traits
Characteristics which occur on the X or Y chromosomes are called
sex­linked traits.
For example, the gene for eye color on fruit flies is located on the X chromosome. The "wild type" or red eyes are dominant; white eyes are recessive.

Problem
If you cross a homozygous red­eyed female fruit fly with a white­eyed male, what will the phenotype ratios of the offspring be?
Remember, the gene for eye color on fruit flies is located on the X chromosome, and the white­eyes allele is recessive.
First, determine the parent (P) genotypes:
Male Genotype
XrY
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (186 of 212)
Female Genotype
XRXR
Problem
Fill in the Punnett square.
XR
Xr
Y
XRXr
XRY
Title: Oct 16­9:43 AM (187 of 212)
XR
XRXr
XRY
In the F1 Generation:
50% of the young are female, and all of the females have red eyes. (However, all carry the recessive white­eyed allele)
50% of the young are male, and all of the males have red eyes. (However, they only carry the red­
eyed allele on the X chromosome.)
Problem
What about the F 2 Generation? If you crossed one of these males with one of the females, what would the F 2 results be?
XR
XR XRXR
Y
XRY
Xr
In the F2 Generation:
XRXr
50% of the young are female, and all of the females have red eyes. (However, half carry the recessive white­eyed allele)
XrY
50% of the youndg are male, and half of the males have red eyes, while the other half have white eyes. Because eye color is carried on the X chromosome, which parent do the males inherit eye color from?
