What do you
know?
GREGOR MENDEL
5
You inherit2copies of every gene, one
from eachPARENT
gamete
Each copy is called anALLELE
In most cases, each gene has a
DOMINANT &RECESSIVE
allele possibility
GREGOR MENDEL
6
These alleles (GENES)
determine what proteins get
made/expressed (TRAITS)
Gene alleles are inherited
INDEPENDENTLY of other
genes.
Example: Just because you
inherited Brown hair, does not mean you will
have brown eyes
VOCABULARYGENOTYPE
VS. PHENOTYPE
Genotype: the genes that make up your body; the “type of genes” you have
Example: AA, Aa, aa, RR, Rr, rr
Phenotype: what we look like; our physical appearanceExample: Brown hair, blue eyes, tall height
DOMINANT VS. RECESSIVEGenes are what you INHERIT from each PARENT. Every gene will have two forms or alleles, DOMINANT or RECESSIVE.
DOMINANT: the allele that shows up, or can be seen is dominant. STRONGWritten as: CAPITAL LETTERS Example: R, S, T, Q, M, N, D
RECESSIVE: the allele that is seen only when both alleles are recessive. WEAK.Written as: LOWER-CASE LETTERS Example: r, s, t, q, m, n, d•If the trait for “big nose” is the dominant trait, use “B” to represent the dominant allele.
•If the trait “small nose” is the recessive trait, use “b” to represent the recessive allele.
Don’t change the LETTER, just the capitalization!!!!
•Only 1 dominant allele must be inherited for the dominant trait to be expressed (show up)Example: BB or Bb
•2 recessive alleles must be inherited for a recessive trait to be expressed (show up)Example: bb
NN = __________________ Nn= __________________ nn= __________________
DOMINANT DOMINANT RECESSIVE
HOMOZYGOUS VS. HETEROZYGOUS
HOMOZYGOUS: both letters (alleles) are the SAME• HOMO- : same• Example: BB, RR, mm, LL, hh, TT, dd
HETEROZYGOUS: each letter is DIFFERENT or MIXED• HETERO- : different or mixed• Example: Hh, Bb, Rr, Tt, Ll, Kk Ss, Gg
There are 3 combinations of alleles (genotypes):
1. Homozygous Dominant (DD) Phenotype = Dominant2. Heterozygous (Dd)Phenotype = Dominant3. Homozygous Recessive (dd) Phenotype = Recessive
Additional Terms:
Homozygous= True/Pure Breeding
Heterozygous = Hybrid
