Mendel and the Gene Idea
Lecture Presentation by
Nicole Tunbridge and
Kathleen Fitzpatrick

Drawing from the Deck of Genes
 What principles account for the passing of traits
from parents to offspring?
 The “blending” hypothesis is the idea that genetic
material from the two parents blends together
(like blue and yellow paint blend to make green)
 The “particulate” hypothesis is the idea that
parents pass on discrete heritable units (genes)
 Mendel documented a particulate mechanism
through his experiments with garden peas

Concept 14.1: Mendel used the scientific
approach to identify two laws of inheritance
 Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity
by breeding garden peas in carefully planned
experiments
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mendel’s Experimental, Quantitative Approach
 Mendel’s approach allowed him to deduce
principles that had remained elusive to others
 A heritable feature that varies among individuals
(such as flower color) is called a character
 Each variant for a character, such as purple or
white color for flowers, is called a trait
 Peas were available to Mendel in many different
varieties
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Other advantages of using peas
 Short generation time
 Large numbers of offspring
 Mating could be controlled; plants could be allowed
to self-pollinate or could be cross pollinated

 Mendel chose to track only those characters that
occurred in two distinct alternative forms
 He also used varieties that were true-breeding
(plants that produce offspring of the same variety
when they self-pollinate)
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 In a typical experiment, Mendel mated two
contrasting, true-breeding varieties, a process
called hybridization
 The true-breeding parents are the P generation
 The hybrid offspring of the P generation are called
the F1 generation
 When F1 individuals self-pollinate or cross-
pollinate with other F1 hybrids, the F2 generation
is produced
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Law of Segregation
 When Mendel crossed contrasting, true-breeding
white- and purple-flowered pea plants, all of the F1
hybrids were purple
 When Mendel crossed the F1 hybrids, many of the
F2 plants had purple flowers, but some had white
 Mendel discovered a ratio of about three to one,
purple to white flowers, in the F2 generation

 Mendel reasoned that only the purple flower factor
was affecting flower color in the F1 hybrids
 Mendel called the purple flower color a dominant
trait and the white flower color a recessive trait
 The factor for white flowers was not diluted or
destroyed because it reappeared in the F2
generation
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Mendel observed the same pattern of inheritance
in six other pea plant characters, each
represented by two traits
 What Mendel called a “heritable factor” is what
we now call a gene

Mendel’s Model
 Mendel developed a hypothesis to explain the 3:1
inheritance pattern he observed in F2 offspring
 Four related concepts make up this model
 These concepts can be related to what we now
know about genes and chromosomes
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 First: alternative versions of genes account for
variations in inherited characters
 For example, the gene for flower color in pea
plants exists in two versions, one for purple
flowers and the other for white flowers
 These alternative versions of a gene are called
alleles
 Each gene resides at a specific locus on a specific
chromosome

 Second: for each character, an organism inherits
two alleles, one from each parent
 Mendel made this deduction without knowing
about chromosomes
 The two alleles at a particular locus may be
identical, as in the true-breeding plants of
Mendel’s P generation
 Alternatively, the two alleles at a locus may differ,
as in the F1 hybrids
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Third: if the two alleles at a locus differ, then one
(the dominant allele) determines the organism’s
appearance, and the other (the recessive allele)
has no noticeable effect on appearance
 In the flower-color example, the F1 plants had
purple flowers because the allele for that trait
is dominant
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Fourth (the law of segregation): the two alleles
for a heritable character separate (segregate)
during gamete formation and end up in different
gametes
 Thus, an egg or a sperm gets only one of the two
alleles that are present in the organism
 This segregation of alleles corresponds to the
distribution of homologous chromosomes to
different gametes in meiosis
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 The model accounts for the 3:1 ratio observed in
the F2 generation of Mendel’s crosses
 Possible combinations of sperm and egg can be
shown using a Punnett square
 A capital letter represents a dominant allele, and a
lowercase letter represents a recessive allele

Useful Genetic Vocabulary
 An organism with two identical alleles for a
character is homozygous for the gene controlling
that character
 An organism that has two different alleles for a
gene is heterozygous for the gene controlling that
character
 Unlike homozygotes, heterozygotes are not true-
breeding
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Because of the different effects of dominant and
recessive alleles, an organism’s traits do not
always reveal its genetic composition
 Therefore, we distinguish between an organism’s
phenotype, or physical appearance, and its
genotype, or genetic makeup
 In the example of flower color in pea plants, PP
and Pp plants have the same phenotype (purple)
but different genotypes

The Testcross
 An individual with the dominant phenotype could
be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous
 To determine the genotype we can carry out a
testcross: breeding the mystery individual with a
homozygous recessive individual
 If any offspring display the recessive phenotype,
the mystery parent must be heterozygous

The Law of Independent Assortment
 Mendel derived the law of segregation by following
a single character
 The F1 offspring produced in this cross were
monohybrids, heterozygous for one character
 A cross between such heterozygotes is called
a monohybrid cross
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Mendel identified his second law of inheritance by
following two characters at the same time
 Crossing two true-breeding parents differing in two
characters produces dihybrids in the F1
generation, heterozygous for both characters
 A dihybrid cross, a cross between F1 dihybrids,
can determine whether two characters are
transmitted to offspring as a package or
independently

 Using a dihybrid cross, Mendel developed the law
of independent assortment
 It states that each pair of alleles segregates
independently of each other pair of alleles during
gamete formation
 This law applies only to genes on different,
nonhomologous chromosomes or those far apart
on the same chromosome
 Genes located near each other on the same
chromosome tend to be inherited together
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 14.2: Probability laws govern
Mendelian inheritance
 Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent
assortment reflect the rules of probability
 When tossing a coin, the outcome of one toss has
no impact on the outcome of the next toss
 In the same way, the alleles of one gene
segregate into gametes independently of another
gene’s alleles
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Multiplication and Addition Rules Applied
to Monohybrid Crosses
 The multiplication rule states that the probability
that two or more independent events will occur
together is the product of their individual
probabilities
 Probability in an F1 monohybrid cross can be
determined using the multiplication rule
 Segregation in a heterozygous plant is like flipping
a coin: Each gamete has a ½ chance of carrying
the dominant allele and a ½ chance of carrying the
recessive allele

 The addition rule states that the probability that
any one of two or more exclusive events will occur
is calculated by adding together their individual
probabilities
 The rule of addition can be used to figure out the
probability that an F2 plant from a monohybrid
cross will be heterozygous rather than
homozygous
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Solving Complex Genetics Problems with the
Rules of Probability
 We can apply the multiplication and addition rules
to predict the outcome of crosses involving
multiple characters
 A multicharacter cross is equivalent to two or more
independent monohybrid crosses occurring
simultaneously
 In calculating the chances for various genotypes,
each character is considered separately, and then
the individual probabilities are multiplied

Concept 14.3: Inheritance patterns are often
more complex than predicted by simple
Mendelian genetics
 The relationship between genotype and phenotype
is rarely as simple as in the pea plant characters
Mendel studied
 Many heritable characters are not determined by
only one gene with two alleles
 However, the basic principles of segregation and
independent assortment apply even to more
complex patterns of inheritance
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Extending Mendelian Genetics for a Single Gene
 Inheritance of characters by a single gene may
deviate from simple Mendelian patterns in the
following situations:
 When alleles are not completely dominant or
recessive
 When a gene has more than two alleles
 When a gene produces multiple phenotypes
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Degrees of Dominance
 Complete dominance occurs when phenotypes
of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are
identical
 In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of F1
hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of
the two parental varieties
 In codominance, two dominant alleles affect the
phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways

 Tay-Sachs disease is fatal; a dysfunctional
enzyme causes an accumulation of lipids in
the brain
 At the organismal level, the allele is recessive
 At the biochemical level, the phenotype (i.e., the
enzyme activity level) is incompletely dominant
 At the molecular level, the alleles are codominant
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Frequency of Dominant Alleles
 Dominant alleles are not necessarily more
common in populations than recessive alleles
 For example, one baby out of 400 in the United
States is born with extra fingers or toes
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 The allele for this unusual trait is dominant to the
allele for the more common trait of five digits per
appendage
 In this example, the recessive allele is far more
prevalent than the population’s dominant allele
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Multiple Alleles
 Most genes exist in populations in more than two
allelic forms
 For example, the four phenotypes of the ABO
blood group in humans are determined by three
alleles for the enzyme (I) that attaches A or B
carbohydrates to red blood cells: IA, IB, and i.
 The enzyme encoded by the IA allele adds the A
carbohydrate, whereas the enzyme encoded by
the IB allele adds the B carbohydrate; the enzyme
encoded by the i allele adds neither

Pleiotropy
 Most genes have multiple phenotypic effects, a
property called pleiotropy
 For example, pleiotropic alleles are responsible for
the multiple symptoms of certain hereditary
diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell
disease
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Extending Mendelian Genetics for Two or More
Genes
 Some traits may be determined by two or more
genes
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Epistasis
 In epistasis, a gene at one locus alters the
phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus
 For example, in Labrador retrievers and many
other mammals, coat color depends on two genes
 One gene determines the pigment color (with
alleles B for black and b for brown)
 The other gene (with alleles E for color and e for
no color) determines whether the pigment will be
deposited in the hair

Polygenic Inheritance
 Quantitative characters are those that vary in the
population along a continuum
 Quantitative variation usually indicates polygenic
inheritance, an additive effect of two or more
genes on a single phenotype
 Skin color in humans is an example of polygenic
inheritance

Nature and Nurture: The Environmental Impact
on Phenotype
 Another departure from Mendelian genetics arises
when the phenotype for a character depends on
environment as well as genotype
 The phenotypic range is broadest for polygenic
characters
 Traits that depend on multiple genes combined
with environmental influences are called
multifactorial

A Mendelian View of Heredity and Variation
 An organism’s phenotype includes its physical
appearance, internal anatomy, physiology, and
behavior
 An organism’s phenotype reflects its overall
genotype and unique environmental history
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 14.4: Many human traits follow
Mendelian patterns of inheritance
 Humans are not good subjects for genetic
research
 Generation time is too long
 Parents produce relatively few offspring
 Breeding experiments are unacceptable
 However, basic Mendelian genetics endures as
the foundation of human genetics
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Pedigree Analysis
 A pedigree is a family tree that describes the
interrelationships of parents and children across
generations
 Inheritance patterns of particular traits can be
traced and described using pedigrees

Recessively Inherited Disorders
 Many genetic disorders are inherited in a
recessive manner
 These range from relatively mild to life-threatening
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Behavior of Recessive Alleles
 Recessively inherited disorders show up only in
individuals homozygous for the allele
 Carriers are heterozygous individuals who carry
the recessive allele but are phenotypically normal;
most individuals with recessive disorders are born
to carrier parents
 Albinism is a recessive condition characterized by
a lack of pigmentation in skin and hair

 If a recessive allele that causes a disease is rare,
then the chance of two carriers meeting and
mating is low
 Consanguineous matings (i.e., matings between
close relatives) increase the chance of mating
between two carriers of the same rare allele
 Most societies and cultures have laws or taboos
against marriages between close relatives
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Cystic Fibrosis
 Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal genetic
disease in the United States, striking one out of
every 2,500 people of European descent
 The cystic fibrosis allele results in defective or
absent chloride transport channels in plasma
membranes leading to a buildup of chloride ions
outside the cell
 Symptoms include mucus buildup in some internal
organs and abnormal absorption of nutrients in the
small intestine
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Sickle-Cell Disease: A Genetic Disorder with
Evolutionary Implications
 Sickle-cell disease affects one out of 400 African-
Americans
 The disease is caused by the substitution of a
single amino acid in the hemoglobin protein in red
blood cells
 In homozygous individuals, all hemoglobin is
abnormal (sickle-cell)
 Symptoms include physical weakness, pain, organ
damage, and even paralysis
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Heterozygotes (said to have sickle-cell trait) are
usually healthy but may suffer some symptoms
 About one out of ten African Americans has sickle-
cell trait, an unusually high frequency
 Heterozygotes are less susceptible to the malaria
parasite, so there is an advantage to being
heterozygous in regions where malaria is common

Dominantly Inherited Disorders
 Some human disorders are caused by dominant
alleles
 Dominant alleles that cause a lethal disease are
rare and arise by mutation

 The timing of onset of a disease significantly
affects its inheritance
 Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease
of the nervous system
 The disease has no obvious phenotypic effects
until the individual is about 35 to 40 years of age
 Once the deterioration of the nervous system
begins the condition is irreversible and fatal

Multifactorial Disorders
 Many diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes,
alcoholism, mental illnesses, and cancer have
both genetic and environmental components
 No matter what our genotype, our lifestyle has a
tremendous effect on phenotype
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Genetic Testing and Counseling
 Genetic counselors can provide information to
prospective parents concerned about a family
history for a specific disease
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Counseling Based on Mendelian Genetics and
Probability Rules
 Using family histories, genetic counselors help
couples determine the odds that their children
will have genetic disorders
 It is important to remember that each child
represents an independent event in the sense that
its genotype is unaffected by the genotypes of
older siblings
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tests for Identifying Carriers
 For a growing number of diseases, tests are
available that identify carriers and help define the
odds more accurately
 The tests enable people to make more informed
decisions about having children
 However, they raise other issues, such as whether
affected individuals fully understand their genetic
test results
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fetal Testing
 In amniocentesis, the liquid that bathes the fetus
is removed and tested
 In chorionic villus sampling (CVS), a sample of
the placenta is removed and tested
 Other techniques, such as ultrasound and
fetoscopy, allow fetal health to be assessed
visually in utero

Newborn Screening
 Some genetic disorders can be detected at birth
by simple tests that are now routinely performed in
most hospitals in the United States
 One common test is for phenylketonuria (PKU), a
recessively inherited disorder that occurs in one of
every 10,000–15,000 births in the United States

14 lecture BIOL 1010-30 Gillette College

  • 1. CAMPBELL BIOLOGY Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. TENTH EDITION CAMPBELL BIOLOGY Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson TENTH EDITION 14 Mendel and the Gene Idea Lecture Presentation by Nicole Tunbridge and Kathleen Fitzpatrick
  • 2. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Drawing from the Deck of Genes  What principles account for the passing of traits from parents to offspring?  The “blending” hypothesis is the idea that genetic material from the two parents blends together (like blue and yellow paint blend to make green)  The “particulate” hypothesis is the idea that parents pass on discrete heritable units (genes)  Mendel documented a particulate mechanism through his experiments with garden peas
  • 3. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.1a Mendel (third from right, holding a sprig of fuchsia) with his fellow monks.
  • 4. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 14.1: Mendel used the scientific approach to identify two laws of inheritance  Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity by breeding garden peas in carefully planned experiments
  • 5. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Mendel’s Experimental, Quantitative Approach  Mendel’s approach allowed him to deduce principles that had remained elusive to others  A heritable feature that varies among individuals (such as flower color) is called a character  Each variant for a character, such as purple or white color for flowers, is called a trait  Peas were available to Mendel in many different varieties
  • 6. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Other advantages of using peas  Short generation time  Large numbers of offspring  Mating could be controlled; plants could be allowed to self-pollinate or could be cross pollinated
  • 7. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.2 Technique 1 2 Parental generation (P) Stamens Carpel 3 4 5 Results First filial generation offspring (F1)
  • 8. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Mendel chose to track only those characters that occurred in two distinct alternative forms  He also used varieties that were true-breeding (plants that produce offspring of the same variety when they self-pollinate)
  • 9. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  In a typical experiment, Mendel mated two contrasting, true-breeding varieties, a process called hybridization  The true-breeding parents are the P generation  The hybrid offspring of the P generation are called the F1 generation  When F1 individuals self-pollinate or cross- pollinate with other F1 hybrids, the F2 generation is produced
  • 10. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. The Law of Segregation  When Mendel crossed contrasting, true-breeding white- and purple-flowered pea plants, all of the F1 hybrids were purple  When Mendel crossed the F1 hybrids, many of the F2 plants had purple flowers, but some had white  Mendel discovered a ratio of about three to one, purple to white flowers, in the F2 generation
  • 11. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.3-1 Purple flowers White flowers P Generation (true-breeding parents) Experiment
  • 12. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.3-2 Self- or cross-pollination All plants had purple flowers Purple flowers White flowers P Generation (true-breeding parents) F1 Generation (hybrids) Experiment
  • 13. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.3-3 705 purple-flowered plants 224 white-flowered plants Self- or cross-pollination All plants had purple flowers Purple flowers White flowers P Generation (true-breeding parents) F1 Generation (hybrids) F2 Generation Experiment
  • 14. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Mendel reasoned that only the purple flower factor was affecting flower color in the F1 hybrids  Mendel called the purple flower color a dominant trait and the white flower color a recessive trait  The factor for white flowers was not diluted or destroyed because it reappeared in the F2 generation
  • 15. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Mendel observed the same pattern of inheritance in six other pea plant characters, each represented by two traits  What Mendel called a “heritable factor” is what we now call a gene
  • 16. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Table 14.1a
  • 17. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Table 14.1b
  • 18. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Mendel’s Model  Mendel developed a hypothesis to explain the 3:1 inheritance pattern he observed in F2 offspring  Four related concepts make up this model  These concepts can be related to what we now know about genes and chromosomes
  • 19. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  First: alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters  For example, the gene for flower color in pea plants exists in two versions, one for purple flowers and the other for white flowers  These alternative versions of a gene are called alleles  Each gene resides at a specific locus on a specific chromosome
  • 20. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.4 Allele for white flowers Allele for purple flowers Pair of homologous chromosomes Enzyme that helps synthesize purple pigment Absence of enzyme Enzyme Locus for flower-color gene One allele results in sufficient pigment C T A A A T C G G T G A T T T A G C C A CTAAATCGGT ATAAATCGGT A T A A A T C G G T T T T TA A G C C A
  • 21. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Second: for each character, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent  Mendel made this deduction without knowing about chromosomes  The two alleles at a particular locus may be identical, as in the true-breeding plants of Mendel’s P generation  Alternatively, the two alleles at a locus may differ, as in the F1 hybrids
  • 22. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Third: if the two alleles at a locus differ, then one (the dominant allele) determines the organism’s appearance, and the other (the recessive allele) has no noticeable effect on appearance  In the flower-color example, the F1 plants had purple flowers because the allele for that trait is dominant
  • 23. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Fourth (the law of segregation): the two alleles for a heritable character separate (segregate) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes  Thus, an egg or a sperm gets only one of the two alleles that are present in the organism  This segregation of alleles corresponds to the distribution of homologous chromosomes to different gametes in meiosis
  • 24. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  The model accounts for the 3:1 ratio observed in the F2 generation of Mendel’s crosses  Possible combinations of sperm and egg can be shown using a Punnett square  A capital letter represents a dominant allele, and a lowercase letter represents a recessive allele

  • 28. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Useful Genetic Vocabulary  An organism with two identical alleles for a character is homozygous for the gene controlling that character  An organism that has two different alleles for a gene is heterozygous for the gene controlling that character  Unlike homozygotes, heterozygotes are not true- breeding
  • 29. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Because of the different effects of dominant and recessive alleles, an organism’s traits do not always reveal its genetic composition  Therefore, we distinguish between an organism’s phenotype, or physical appearance, and its genotype, or genetic makeup  In the example of flower color in pea plants, PP and Pp plants have the same phenotype (purple) but different genotypes
  • 30. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.6 Phenotype Genotype Purple PP (homozygous) Purple Purple White Ratio 3:1 Ratio 1:2:1 Pp (heterozygous) Pp (heterozygous) pp (homozygous) 3 1 1 1 2
  • 31. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. The Testcross  An individual with the dominant phenotype could be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous  To determine the genotype we can carry out a testcross: breeding the mystery individual with a homozygous recessive individual  If any offspring display the recessive phenotype, the mystery parent must be heterozygous
  • 32. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.7 Dominant phenotype, unknown genotype: PP or Pp?

  • 33. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. The Law of Independent Assortment  Mendel derived the law of segregation by following a single character  The F1 offspring produced in this cross were monohybrids, heterozygous for one character  A cross between such heterozygotes is called a monohybrid cross
  • 34. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Mendel identified his second law of inheritance by following two characters at the same time  Crossing two true-breeding parents differing in two characters produces dihybrids in the F1 generation, heterozygous for both characters  A dihybrid cross, a cross between F1 dihybrids, can determine whether two characters are transmitted to offspring as a package or independently

  • 38. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Using a dihybrid cross, Mendel developed the law of independent assortment  It states that each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation  This law applies only to genes on different, nonhomologous chromosomes or those far apart on the same chromosome  Genes located near each other on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together
  • 39. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 14.2: Probability laws govern Mendelian inheritance  Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment reflect the rules of probability  When tossing a coin, the outcome of one toss has no impact on the outcome of the next toss  In the same way, the alleles of one gene segregate into gametes independently of another gene’s alleles
  • 40. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. The Multiplication and Addition Rules Applied to Monohybrid Crosses  The multiplication rule states that the probability that two or more independent events will occur together is the product of their individual probabilities  Probability in an F1 monohybrid cross can be determined using the multiplication rule  Segregation in a heterozygous plant is like flipping a coin: Each gamete has a ½ chance of carrying the dominant allele and a ½ chance of carrying the recessive allele
  • 41. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.9 Eggs 1 2 Sperm Rr Segregation of alleles into eggs Rr Segregation of alleles into sperm 1 2 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 2 1 2R R RR R r r r rr Rr
  • 42. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  The addition rule states that the probability that any one of two or more exclusive events will occur is calculated by adding together their individual probabilities  The rule of addition can be used to figure out the probability that an F2 plant from a monohybrid cross will be heterozygous rather than homozygous
  • 43. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Solving Complex Genetics Problems with the Rules of Probability  We can apply the multiplication and addition rules to predict the outcome of crosses involving multiple characters  A multicharacter cross is equivalent to two or more independent monohybrid crosses occurring simultaneously  In calculating the chances for various genotypes, each character is considered separately, and then the individual probabilities are multiplied
  • 44. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.UN01
  • 45. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.UN02
  • 46. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 14.3: Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple Mendelian genetics  The relationship between genotype and phenotype is rarely as simple as in the pea plant characters Mendel studied  Many heritable characters are not determined by only one gene with two alleles  However, the basic principles of segregation and independent assortment apply even to more complex patterns of inheritance
  • 47. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Extending Mendelian Genetics for a Single Gene  Inheritance of characters by a single gene may deviate from simple Mendelian patterns in the following situations:  When alleles are not completely dominant or recessive  When a gene has more than two alleles  When a gene produces multiple phenotypes
  • 48. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Degrees of Dominance  Complete dominance occurs when phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical  In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties  In codominance, two dominant alleles affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways

  • 52. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Tay-Sachs disease is fatal; a dysfunctional enzyme causes an accumulation of lipids in the brain  At the organismal level, the allele is recessive  At the biochemical level, the phenotype (i.e., the enzyme activity level) is incompletely dominant  At the molecular level, the alleles are codominant
  • 53. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Frequency of Dominant Alleles  Dominant alleles are not necessarily more common in populations than recessive alleles  For example, one baby out of 400 in the United States is born with extra fingers or toes
  • 54. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  The allele for this unusual trait is dominant to the allele for the more common trait of five digits per appendage  In this example, the recessive allele is far more prevalent than the population’s dominant allele
  • 55. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Multiple Alleles  Most genes exist in populations in more than two allelic forms  For example, the four phenotypes of the ABO blood group in humans are determined by three alleles for the enzyme (I) that attaches A or B carbohydrates to red blood cells: IA, IB, and i.  The enzyme encoded by the IA allele adds the A carbohydrate, whereas the enzyme encoded by the IB allele adds the B carbohydrate; the enzyme encoded by the i allele adds neither
  • 56. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.11 The three alleles for the ABO blood groups and their carbohydrates Blood group genotypes and phenotypes Allele Carbohydrate Genotype Red blood cell appearance Phenotype (blood group) A B AB O iiIAIBIBIB IBiororIAIA IAi IA IB i (a) (b) A B none
  • 57. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Pleiotropy  Most genes have multiple phenotypic effects, a property called pleiotropy  For example, pleiotropic alleles are responsible for the multiple symptoms of certain hereditary diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell disease
  • 58. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Extending Mendelian Genetics for Two or More Genes  Some traits may be determined by two or more genes
  • 59. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Epistasis  In epistasis, a gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus  For example, in Labrador retrievers and many other mammals, coat color depends on two genes  One gene determines the pigment color (with alleles B for black and b for brown)  The other gene (with alleles E for color and e for no color) determines whether the pigment will be deposited in the hair

  • 61. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Polygenic Inheritance  Quantitative characters are those that vary in the population along a continuum  Quantitative variation usually indicates polygenic inheritance, an additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotype  Skin color in humans is an example of polygenic inheritance
  • 62. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.13 Eggs Sperm AaBbCc AaBbCc Phenotypes: Number of dark-skin alleles: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 64 6 64 15 64 20 64 15 64 6 64 1 64 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8 1 8
  • 63. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Nature and Nurture: The Environmental Impact on Phenotype  Another departure from Mendelian genetics arises when the phenotype for a character depends on environment as well as genotype  The phenotypic range is broadest for polygenic characters  Traits that depend on multiple genes combined with environmental influences are called multifactorial
  • 64. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14.14
  • 65. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. A Mendelian View of Heredity and Variation  An organism’s phenotype includes its physical appearance, internal anatomy, physiology, and behavior  An organism’s phenotype reflects its overall genotype and unique environmental history
  • 66. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 14.4: Many human traits follow Mendelian patterns of inheritance  Humans are not good subjects for genetic research  Generation time is too long  Parents produce relatively few offspring  Breeding experiments are unacceptable  However, basic Mendelian genetics endures as the foundation of human genetics
  • 67. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Pedigree Analysis  A pedigree is a family tree that describes the interrelationships of parents and children across generations  Inheritance patterns of particular traits can be traced and described using pedigrees

  • 71. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Pedigrees can also be used to make predictions about future offspring  We can use the multiplication and addition rules to predict the probability of specific phenotypes
  • 72. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Recessively Inherited Disorders  Many genetic disorders are inherited in a recessive manner  These range from relatively mild to life-threatening
  • 73. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. The Behavior of Recessive Alleles  Recessively inherited disorders show up only in individuals homozygous for the allele  Carriers are heterozygous individuals who carry the recessive allele but are phenotypically normal; most individuals with recessive disorders are born to carrier parents  Albinism is a recessive condition characterized by a lack of pigmentation in skin and hair

Cystic Fibrosis  Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal genetic disease in the United States, striking one out of every 2,500 people of European descent  The cystic fibrosis allele results in defective or absent chloride transport channels in plasma membranes leading to a buildup of chloride ions outside the cell  Symptoms include mucus buildup in some internal organs and abnormal absorption of nutrients in the small intestine
  • 77. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Sickle-Cell Disease: A Genetic Disorder with Evolutionary Implications  Sickle-cell disease affects one out of 400 African- Americans  The disease is caused by the substitution of a single amino acid in the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells  In homozygous individuals, all hemoglobin is abnormal (sickle-cell)  Symptoms include physical weakness, pain, organ damage, and even paralysis
  • 78. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Heterozygotes (said to have sickle-cell trait) are usually healthy but may suffer some symptoms  About one out of ten African Americans has sickle- cell trait, an unusually high frequency  Heterozygotes are less susceptible to the malaria parasite, so there is an advantage to being heterozygous in regions where malaria is common

  • 82. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  The timing of onset of a disease significantly affects its inheritance  Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system  The disease has no obvious phenotypic effects until the individual is about 35 to 40 years of age  Once the deterioration of the nervous system begins the condition is irreversible and fatal
  • 83. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Multifactorial Disorders  Many diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, alcoholism, mental illnesses, and cancer have both genetic and environmental components  No matter what our genotype, our lifestyle has a tremendous effect on phenotype
  • 84. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Testing and Counseling  Genetic counselors can provide information to prospective parents concerned about a family history for a specific disease
  • 85. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Counseling Based on Mendelian Genetics and Probability Rules  Using family histories, genetic counselors help couples determine the odds that their children will have genetic disorders  It is important to remember that each child represents an independent event in the sense that its genotype is unaffected by the genotypes of older siblings
  • 86. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Tests for Identifying Carriers  For a growing number of diseases, tests are available that identify carriers and help define the odds more accurately  The tests enable people to make more informed decisions about having children  However, they raise other issues, such as whether affected individuals fully understand their genetic test results
  • 87. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Fetal Testing  In amniocentesis, the liquid that bathes the fetus is removed and tested  In chorionic villus sampling (CVS), a sample of the placenta is removed and tested  Other techniques, such as ultrasound and fetoscopy, allow fetal health to be assessed visually in utero
