Genetics

Gregor Mendel
The Father of Genetics

Gene
• A discrete unit of hereditary
information consisting of a
specific nucleotide sequence in
DNA (or RNA in some viruses)
3
Alleles
• •Alleles are alternate forms of a gene.
• •Examples: tall and short for plant height or purple
or white for flower color.
• •Every trait has at least two alleles- one from each
parent.
• •The location of an allele on a chromosome is
known as its locus (loci = plural form).
4
Genotype
• •The letters that represent
(symbolize) the trait being
investigated. The genetic make-
up of an organism.
• •Examples: Bb, BB, bb
5
Phenotype
• The actual representation of the genes.
The Physical appearance or traits in an
organism resulting from its genetic
makeup (what you see).
• Examples: tall, purple flower or white
flower, blond hair, freckles, etc.
6
Dominant
• The allele that is fully expressed
in an organism (observed).
• •Represented by capital letters.
• •Tall = T
7
Recessive
• •The allele that is masked by
the dominant allele.
• •Represented by lower case
letters.
• •Short = t
8
Homozygous
• When both alleles (letters) are
the same.
• BB = Homozygous Dominant
• bb = Homozygous recessive
9
Heterozygous
• When the alleles (letters) are
different.
• One upper case letter and one
that is lower case.
• Bb = Heterozygous
10
Example Problem
• Round = R
• wrinkled = r
• If a plant has round seeds, do we
know what its genotype is?
• It could be RR or Rr
• If a plant has wrinkled seeds, do
we know what its genotype is?
• Yes, it is rr. 11
Punnett Square
• A method for finding predicted
outcomes and probabilities for
offspring from any cross.
• A chart for predicting the traits
of offspring.
12
Some more terms:
• P-generation is the parental generation.
• The p-generation produce the F1
generation.
• The F1 generation crossed with itself
produces the F2 generation.
13
Example Problem
14
• In foxes, red coat color is determined by
the dominant gene R; silver-black coat is
determined by the recessive gene r. A
homozygous (pure) red male is crossed
with a silver-black female. (The P
generation).
1.What is the genotype of the
female?
15
What are the genotype
percentages of their offspring?
•First…make a Punnett square

Punnett Squares
• Why are punnett squares useful?
• We can use a punnett square to predict the
probable genotypes and phenotypes for
offspring from a genetic cross.
• Genotype = What is inside the genes, the
make-up.
• Phenotype = The outward expression of
the genes. 44
