Mendelian Genetics "Look what happened to genetics when Mendel took a pea!" Today you will look at five different fields of newly germinated corn. You might call these the world' smallest experimental agricultural plots. A few days ago they were tilled and planted with five different varieties of corn that have size and color genes in them. You are to determine whether or not the genes are linked, which are dominant. In order to do that, you should first reacquaint yourself with some statistics (or sadistics, as some are wont to call it). You will need to know about chi-square analysis . So hunt up that handout , do that assignment , and then return to the next paragraph. Every farmer knows that one must walk carefully in newly germinating fields. The plantlets are fragile. So please be gentle as you count them and do your analyses. Your names will be posted for subsequent sections to read if you damage their crops - you all must share! But before we walk out into our fields, let's see how much fundamental botany you know. What are the first leaves that sprout out of a seed called? Peas are cots; and Corn, as a grass, falls within the cots. Plot #1 was planted from corn seeds that have segregated the genes for normal and dwarf sized leaves. Hopefully, you will be able to ascertain the difference. It is said that dwarf seedlings also have broader leaves.

Chapter 2: Genetics Mendelian Genetics W hen Gregor Mendel began his hybridization experiments with pea plants in 1856, knowledge of how heredity works was limited. If two organisms of different height produced offspring, it was assumed that the offspring's height would be somewhere between the height of the two parents. This notion of blending inheritance presented a significant obstacle for the acceptance of the theory of natural selection, since variation would be removed from a population by being blended into nonexistence. However, for some characteristics discrete traits inheritance did not produce a state of being between the parents. The children of a brown-eyed father and blue-eyed mother do not end up with an intermediate eye color; rather, children inherit the eye color of a single parent. It was with these types of characteristics that Mendel performed his famous botanical experiments. After carefully selecting pea plants to breed true for particular traits, he then cross-bred strains with conflicting phenotypes (observable physical characteristics). Most importantly for those who were to follow him, he meticulously catalogued the results of these experiments.

Mendelian Genetics how they are passed on to offspring 2 possible "alleles" for each trait The combination one has (1 from mom, 1 from dad) is called your "genotype" 2 matching alleles = "homozygous" 2 different alleles = "heterozygous" In heterozygous individuals, the allele that is "expressed" (seen in individual’s appearance) is the "dominant" allele The traits that are expressed make up your "phenotype" The allele that is not expressed is the "recessive" allele There are more than 2 alleles for some traits Most traits, in fact, are affected by more than 1 gene Sex-Linked Traits In the case of genes located on the X chromosome, females would have the usual 2 alleles for each gene but males only have 1 X chromosome and thus 1 allele (the Y chromosome contains only a small number of genes related to gender) Shuffling the Deck Chromosomes of offspring don’t have a half that’s clearly from dad and a half that's from mom During duplication there is "crossing over" of bits of each half Genoytypes vs Phenotypes in your Family or Future Family Genetic Traits Earlobes: Free ear lobes (dominant trait) vs. Attached ear lobes (recessive trait)

INTRODUCTION TO GENETICS Table of Contents Heredity, historical perspectives The Monk and his peas Principle of segregation Dihybrid Crosses ... Links Heredity, Historical Perspective Back to Top For much of human history people were unaware of the scientific details of how babies were conceived and how heredity worked. Clearly they were conceived, and clearly there was some hereditary connection between parents and children, but the mechanisms were not readily apparent. The Greek philosophers had a variety of ideas: Theophrastus proposed that male flowers caused female flowers to ripen; Hippocrates speculated that "seeds" were produced by various body parts and transmitted to offspring at the time of conception, and Aristotle thought that male and female semen mixed at conception. Aeschylus, in 458 BC, proposed the male as the parent, with the female as a "nurse for the young life sown within her". During the 1700s, Dutch microscopist Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) discovered "animalcules" in the sperm of humans and other animals. Some scientists speculated they saw a "little man" (homunculus) inside each sperm. These scientists formed a school of thought known as the "spermists". They contended the only contributions of the female to the next generation were the womb in which the homunculus grew, and prenatal influences of the womb. An opposing school of thought, the ovists, believed that the future human was in the egg, and that sperm merely stimulated the growth of the egg. Ovists thought women carried eggs containing boy and girl children, and that the gender of the offspring was determined well before conception.

Genetic Topics Gene Interactions The genes of an individual do not operate isolated from one another, but obviously are functioning in a common cellular environment. Thus, it is expected interactions between genes would occur. Bateson and Punnett performed a classical experiment that demonstrated genetic interactions. They analyzed the three comb types of chicken known to exist at that time: Chicken Varieties Phenotype Wyandotte Rose Comb Brahmas Pea Comb Leghorns Single Comb Rose Pea Single Walnut Result: The F differed from both parents and two new phenotypes not seen in the parents appeared in the F . How can this result be explained? The first clue is the F ratio. We have seen this ratio before when the F from a dihybrid cross is selfed (or intermated). This observation suggests that two genes may control the phenotype of the comb. The gene interactions and genotypes were determined by performing the appropriate testcrosses. A series of experiments demonstrated that the genotypes controlling the various comb phenotypes are as follows.

Mendelian Genetics MENDEL's work is outstanding, since it constitutes a completely new approach: the concentration on just a single feature . MENDEL set great store by the evaluation of the numerical proportions of the hybrids and he analyzed the plants gained by hybridization independently. He found it also essential to work with as great a number as plants as possible in order to outrule chance. His research enabled him to detect three principles of heredity. MENDEL's first law is the principle of uniformity . It says that, if two plants that differ in just one trait are crossed, then the resulting hybrids will be uniform in the chosen trait. Depending on the traits is the uniform feature either one of the parents' traits (a dominant-recessive pair of characteristics) or it is intermediate MENDEL's second law is the principle of segregation . It states that the individuals of the F generation are not uniform, but that the traits segregate. Depending on a dominant-recessive crossing or an intermediate crossing are the resulting ratios 3:1 or 1:2:1. According to this principle hereditary traits are determined by discrete factors (now called genes) that occur in pairs, one of each pair being inherited from each parent. This concept of independent traits explains how a trait can persist from generation to generation without blending with other traits. It explains, too, how the trait can seemingly disappear and then reappear in a later generation. The principle of segregation was consequently of the utmost importance for understanding both genetics and evolution.

It is spring in Brno, so Brother Gregory and Brother Joseph want you to help them plant their pea seeds and carry out more investigations into Plant Hybridization At the start of each investigation they will ask you a question or questions. To find the answers, you must take two of their pea plants and carry out a series of carefully controlled experiments. In these experiments the plants you choose become the parents of a set of offspring. From the pattern of inheritance seen in these offspring pea plants, you will be able to find the answers you need. At the start of a genetic cross , the female egg cells of one plant are fertilized with the male pollen from the other plant. Tiny embryos develop, which are nourished with starchy food reserves, these are the seeds (or peas) that will grow into the next generation of pea plants. You must collect the seeds produced from these genetic crosses, plant them in the ground, wait until they grow and then count the number and type of offspring that you find in the monastery garden. From the results you obtain Brother Gregory needs to know what you think about his latest theory of inheritance.

Mendelian Genetics Content : Experiments with peas Punnett square Test Cross Independent Assortment ... Back to Course Syllabus Mendel’s garden peas Mendel flower pea variations The historical aspects of Mendel's discoveries are outlined in the texbook. Different forms of a gene (one on the maternal chromosome, one on the paternal chromosome) are called alleles . If two alleles are identical, they are said to be homozygous . If they are different they are called heterozygous . The two heterogeneous gene for the same trait may not be expressed equally. In case one allele is expressed, but not the other one, the expressed allele is called dominant . The allele which is not expressed is said to be recessive . In order for a recessive trait to be expressed, the two alleles have to be homozygous i.e. the recessive gene has to be present on the maternal as well as on the paternal chromosome. In contrast a dominant trait is expressed as long as one dominant allele is present i.e. one of the two alleles can be recessive. Of course the dominant trait is also expressed if both alleles are dominant homozygous. The garden pea can propagate through self pollination or through pollination by a different plant. Mendel had several true breeding varieties, i.e. a certain plant lines which produce white flowers from one generation to the next, or produce peas with shriveled seeds from one generation to thenext. In his first experiments Mendel was cross-breeding two true breeding varieties. He cut the anthers of a purple flower to prevent self pollination and used the pollen of a white flower to pollinate the purple flowered plant. After planting the seeds of the plant Mendel observed the color of the flower. He found that all offspring in the first generation was purple. When the first generation was allowed to self pollinate, the second generation had a ratio of 3:1 ( purple flower : white flower). The following diagram illustrates the processes on the gene level

Abedon abedon.1@osu.edu Chapter title : Mendelian Genetics Problems A list of vocabulary words is found toward the end of this document Vocabulary No entry. Practice questions - The below questions are from p. 259-261 of Campbell, 1996 A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black, and 8 are white. What is the simplest explanation for the inheritance of these colors in chickens? What offspring would you predict from the mating of a gray rooster and a black hen? [PEEK] In some plants, a true-breeding, red-flowered strain gives all pink flowers when crossed with a white-flowered strain: RR (red) x rr (white) - Rr (pink). If flower position (axial or terminal) is inherited as it is in peas (i.e., axial is dominant to terminal), what will be the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes of the generation resulting from the following cross: axial-red (true-breeding) x terminal-white? What will be the ratios in the F generation?
