Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance

1. Genes In Pairs: Genetic characters are controlled by genes that exist in pairs of alleles in individual organisms and are passed from parents to their offspring. When two organisms produce offspring, each parent gives the offspring one of the alleles from each pair.

2. Dominance and Recessiveness: When two unlike alleles responsible for a single character are present in a single individual, one allele can mask the expression of another allele. That is, one allele is dominant to the other. The latter is said to be recessive.

3. The Law of Segregation: During the formation of gametes, the paired alleles separate (segregate) randomly so that each gamete receives one allele or the other.

4. The Law of Independent Assortment: During gamete formation, segregating pairs of alleles assort independently of each other. Example: genes on different chromosomes will segregate independently. Linked genes (close together on one chromosome) do not follow this law.

Rule of Dominance

•The trait that is observed in the offspring is the dominant trait (uppercase)

•The trait that disappears in the offspring is the recessive trait (lowercase)

Law of Segregation

•The two alleles for a trait must separate when gametes are formed

•A parent randomly passes only one allele for each trait to each offspring

Law of Independent Assortment•The genes for different

traits are inherited independently of each other.

PhenotypePhenotype - - the physical feature the physical feature resulting from a genotyperesulting from a genotype (e.g. (e.g. red, white) red, white)

Here are the steps used to solve a Monohybrid Mendelian Genetic Problem:

Step 1: Figure out the genotypes of the parents (Pure Dom, Hybrid, Pure Rec) Use the Capital letter of the DOMINANT trait and then its lower case form to represent the recessive trait.

Step 2: Figure out what kinds of gametes the parents can produce.

Step 3: Set up a Punnett Square for your mating.

Step 4: Fill in the babies inside the table by filling each square by going Down and to the Left.

Step 5: Figure out the genotypic ratio for your predicted babies. How Many of the offspring are--Pure Dom: Hybrid: Pure RecPure Dom: Hybrid: Pure Rec

Step 6: Figure out the phenotypic ratio for your predicted babies. How Many of the offspring are-- Dom : RecDom : Rec

Solving Genetics Problems I: Monohybrid Crosses

Classical genetics is a science of logic and statistics. While many find the latter intimidating, the mathematical side of most classical genetics puzzles is relatively simple — and there are actually ways to get around most of the math. The logic part is inescapable. All genetics problems are solved using the same basic logic structure. If you learn the sense of the approach, you can solve virtually any genetics problem, provided you are given enough basic information.

20

Sample Problem using Steps:

This problem involves two gerbils named Honey and Ritz. The gene in question is a fur color gene which has two alleles — dominant brown (B) and recessive black (b). It's a very good idea to write down the information you are given in a problem so that it will be easy for you to refer to it when necessary. So begin by writing something like this at the top of your work page:

21

22

Each of our parent gerbils is heterozygous for this gene. So here is our mating:

23

Step One: Figure out the genotypes of the parents.

Step One: Figure out what kinds of gametes the parents can produce..

Once you've got that settled, you need to address the question of all of the possible kinds of babies they could produce. Before any parent makes babies, of course, that parent makes gametes. So in order to find what kinds of babies they can have, you must first determine what kinds of gametes they can produce. Since Honey is a heterozygote (and paying attention to Rule #1), she can produce two kinds of eggs: B eggs and b eggs.

24

Ritz is also a heterozygote, so he can produce two kinds of sperm: B sperm and b sperm. Something like this:

25

Step Three: Set up a Punnett Square for your mating

Now you need to determine all the possible ways that his sperm can combine with her eggs. There are several different techniques used for this operation. The most popular among students is the Punnett Square. Punnett Squares are probability tables — a way to do statistics while avoiding as much math as possible.

26

Setting up a Punnett Square is easy. You need to create a chart with one column for each of the female's egg types, and one row for each of the male's sperm types. For Honey and Ritz, your table would look like this, then fill in the babies genotype by going down and to the left:

27

Step 4: fill in the Punnett Square, down and to the left

BBBB

BbBb bbbb

BbBb

So we have now figured out that, if Honey and Ritz have a lot of babies, we can predict that 1/4 of them should be BB, 1/2 of them (2/4) should be Bb, and 1/4 should be bb.

28

Step Five: Figure out the genotypic ratio for your predicted babies.

This conclusion is often expressed as a genotypic ratio:1BB:2Bb:1bb. This means that we are predicting that, for every BB baby, they should have 2 Bb babies (twice as many), and one bb baby.

29

Step Six: Figure out the phenotypic ratio for your predicted babies.

To do this, you need to ask yourself one question: do any of these different genotypes produce the same phenotype? In other words, do any of these babies look alike? This is where dominance enters the picture. If B is completely dominant to b, all gerbils with at least one B will look pretty much alike, no matter whether their second allele is B or b. So BB and Bb have the same phenotype, and we can add them together. Thus, our phenotypic ratio is 3 Brown:1 Black. Or, there should be three times as many brown babies as black babies.

30

So the answer to our question is, 3/4 of the babies should be brown.

31

Step Seven: Answer the question you've been asked.

The mating scheme we've just worked through is called a monohybrid cross. This means that we were paying attention to only one gene (mono=1), and both of our parents were heterozygous for that gene (hybrid=heterozygous).
