Page 2: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

INTERESTING FACT

• All the ova from which the present human poplation was derived can fit into a 5-litre bottle.

• All the sperm that fertilized them could fit in a……

• THIMBLE.

Page 3: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• For years similarities between children and parents obvious.

• Male + female = offspring

• But how?

Page 4: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Aristotle 384-322 BC semen + menstrual fluid offspring X

• van Leeuwenhook 1677 sperm in semen contain miniature human that implant in female to be born X

• de Graaf 1670s discovered the Graafian follicle from which came the ovum O

Page 5: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Both parents contribute hereditary characteristics and the offspring is a blend of both.

• The offspring therefore has two sets of genetic information but only one of any pair of genes expresses itself.

Page 6: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

MENDEL,1866

THE RUSSIAN MONK

Page 7: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Mendel performed experiments referring to the process of hybridization in plants.

• He focused on the different forms in which hybrid offspring appear and the statistical relationship between them.

Page 8: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 9: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

HIS EXPERIMENTS

• He chose the pea Pisum sativum for his research because:

1. Several distinct varieties existed

2. Easy to cultivate

3. Self-pollinating (pure breeding) same characteristics gen. after gen.

4. Artificial cross-breeding varieties possible fertile hybrids.

Page 10: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Mendel observed seven traits that are easily recognized and apparently only occur in one of two forms:

1. seed shape is (round or wrinkled)2. seed color is (yellow or green)3. flower color is (purple or white)4. pod shape is (inflated or constricted)5. pod color is (yellow or green)6. flower position is (axial or terminal)       7. stem length is (long or short)

Page 11: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 12: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

HIS SUCCESS

• He succeeded because of careful use of the scientific method.

1. Familiarized self with the plants

2. Only one variable studied at a time

3. Meticulous methodology

4. Sufficient statistical data collected

5. Lack of genetic features such as codominance and linkage

DEFINITIONS• DNA- Deoxyribonucleic acid. This substance

is the back-bone of all genes and therefore assists to make up chromosomes. DNA is found in the nucleus of cells.

• RNA-Ribonucleic acid. This substance helps to make new DNA and hence genes and chromosomes. There are three types, one found in the nucleus and two in the cytoplasm of cells.

Page 17: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Chromosomes: material found in the nuclei of cells, are composed of DNA and protein and contain genetic information in the form of genes.

Page 18: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Genes: the basic unit of inheritance for a given characteristic or trait.

                                                         

                  

Page 19: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 20: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Alleles: contrasting forms of the same gene found occupying the same locus (position) on homologous chromosomes. They may produce the same or different qualities.

Page 21: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Homozygous: having two identical alleles in corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes.

Page 22: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Heterozygous: having two contrasting alleles in corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes.

Page 23: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 24: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 25: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 26: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Phenotype: the outward, visible expression of a gene. E.g. hair colur, eye colour, gender.

• Genotype: the inward, genetic make-up of the organism, especially its alleles (contrasting genes).

Page 27: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 28: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Phenotype: the outward, visible expression of a gene. E.g. hair colour, eye colour, gender.

Page 29: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Dominant: the allele which, if present, shows its effect on the phenotype in both the homozygous and heterozygous conditions. Allele usually represented by capital letters.

• Recessive: the allele which only has an effect on the phenotype of the dominant allele is absent. Allele usually represented by common letters.

Page 30: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 31: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Incomplete Dominance is the expression of alleles that are neither dominant or recessive.

• These alleles mix together and result in expression of a physical trait that is a mixture of the two alleles.

Page 32: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Example of Incomplete Dominance when you cross a black mice (BB) with a white mice (WW), the progeny of these mice is gray in color (BW). The colors blend together and express the phenotype of both alleles. This type of dominance is similar to mixing paints. When you mix one color with another color, the result is a completely different color. Similarly, when one allele is mixed with another allele they blend together to give rise to a new phenotype.

Page 33: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Incomplete Dominance

Page 34: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Co-dominance (existing together). • When there are two alleles that share a co-

dominant relationship, progeny will express both alleles.

• For example, if a black cat (CbCb) is crossed with a brown cat (CrCr), the kittens (CbCr) will be either brown with black spots or stripes or black with brown spots or stripes, that is, tabby cat. This means both the colors are co-dominant in this case. Both alleles are completely expressed and the kittens show both colors at the same time.

Page 35: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Codominace

Page 36: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• As you can see, in codominance the alleles express their individual traits simultaneously. In case of incomplete dominance, the alleles tend to blend in to give rise to an altogether new phenotype.

Page 37: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Examples of Codominance and Incomplete Dominance

Example 1When one crosses a red snapdragon flower (RR) with a white snapdragon flower (WW) the result will be as follows:

RR X WW

will give rise to

RW

The flowers show incomplete dominance as the red and white colors blend and express a completely new color, that is, pink.

Page 38: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Example 2

When cream-colored mare (CC) is paired with a brown colored horse (BB) it will result in a pony that is tan in color. This is an incomplete dominance example where the alleles blend to give a new phenotype.

CC X BB

this results in an offspring that is tan in color

CB

What would be the phenotypes from CB x CB

Page 39: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Example # 3 When a red flower is crossed with white flower it results in flowers with red spots on white background or white spots on red background.

R1R1 X R2R2

the resultant flowers are

R1R2

This is an example of codominance where both red and white color are expressed in the resultant flowers.

Page 40: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Genes, like to play around and express different phenotypes in progeny.

• It is very difficult understanding genes at times.

• Most often we observe complete dominance, where one allele completely takes over another allele.

Page 41: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Epistasis

Page 42: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

MONOHYBRID INHERITANCE

Page 43: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• For monohybrid inheritance Mendel stated that:

• The characteristics of an organism are determined by internal factors which occur in pairs. Only on of a pair of such factors can be represented in a single gamete.

Page 44: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Monohybrid Inheritance

• Inheritance is the process by which certain characteristics or traits are passed on from generation to generation.

• Monohybrid inheritance is the analysis of only one of these traits at a time.

• It is very simple to do.

Page 45: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• A diagram called a Punnett Square is usually used in order to work out monohybrid inheritance.

• We say that we perform a monohybrid cross.

Page 46: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Definitions to definitely remember when performing these crosses are:

• Dominant• Recessive• Genotype• Phenotype

• Co-dominance and incomplete dominance.

Page 47: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• We will be using monohybrid crossing to predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of off-spring born with:

• Different genders (male or female)• Albinism• Sickle-cell• Haemophilia• Night-blindness• Blood types

Page 48: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• Finally, we will be able to trace defects, diseases or traits throughout family trees when we have mastered the monohybrid cross.

• Along the way we will pay attention to ratios that are expected for certain crosses.

Page 49: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Performing Monohybrid Crosses

Page 50: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

STEPS• 1). Choose letters to represent the

alleles/genes.• 2). Determine the genotypes of the parents.• 3). Determine the available gametes. • 4). Draw Punnett Square.• 5). Assign gametes.• 6). Fill in Punnett Square.• 7). Analyze results for phenotypic and

genotypic ratios.

• 2 Heterozygous brown

• Homo brown X Hetero brown

• Homo brown X Green

• Hetero brown X Green

• 2 Green eyed parents

Page 57: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 58: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Inheritance of Gender

• Females have 2 X chromosomes (XX).

• Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).

• Let us do a monohybrid cross to determine how sex is passed on from parents to of-spring.

Page 59: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 60: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Sex-Linked Genes• Sex-linked genes are genes that are only found

on the longer region of the X chromosome and so will be absent from the Y chromosomes in males.

• When performing crosses involving sex-linked genes, the letters representing the alleles are attached to larger letters that represent the chromosomes, so that we will be able to tell if we are dealing with a man or woman.

• In sex-linkage, women are called carriers, but not men.

Page 61: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Mating for Haemophilia• Normal parents

• Haemophiliac parents

• Haem mom x Haem dad

• Haem mom x normal dad

• Carrier x haemophiliac

• Carrier x normal

Page 62: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 63: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Mating for Colour-blindness

• Normal parents

• Colour-blind parents

• Colour blind mom x normal dad

• Colour blind dad x normal mom

• Carrier mom x normal dad

• Carrier mom x colour-blind dad

Page 64: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 65: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Co-dominance

• A form of inheritance in which both alleles are equally shown. Blood typing is a great example. AB blood is the codominant relationship between the A protein and B protein both expressing themselves completely. AO (type O allele means there is no protein), A is dominant and you see type A phenotype. BO is the same except you see the B phenotype. Type O is recessive

Page 66: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• With codominance, a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring with a third phenotype in which both of the parental traits appear together.

Page 67: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Mating for Sickle Cell

• 2 parents with sickle cell disease

• 2 parents with sickle cell trait

• Sickle cell disease X Sickle cell trait

• Sickle cell disease x normal

• Sickle cell trait x normal

Page 68: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
Page 69: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

Incomplete dominance

• A form of inheritance in which the heterozygous alleles are both expressed, resulting in a combined phenotype. The one example that most books give is seen in some flower colors. A red and a white allele gives pink. If it were codominance, you would see the red and white colors mixed yet separate. Incomplete dominance is most commonly found in plants.

Page 70: PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

• With incomplete dominance, a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring with a third phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits.
