This document provides an introduction to genetics and heredity through Mendel's experiments with pea plants. It discusses how Mendel used pea plants to discover the basic principles of heredity, including that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete factors we now call genes. Mendel determined that some genes are dominant and others recessive, with dominant traits always appearing in offspring who receive a dominant allele. His work established the basic rules of heredity and laid the foundation for the field of genetics. The document also introduces key genetics concepts like genotypes, phenotypes, homozygous, and heterozygous individuals.
Genes, Chromosomes, and Genetic Code: Relevance and ImplicationsJen Gragera
Genes are the thing that determines your unique traits from the inside out. They play an important role in your overall health but they can also make you more susceptible for certain health problems and diseases, in the first place those that run in your family. Most diseases are a result of a combination of multiple factors including dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors. However, it is also possible to develop health problems exclusively due to genetic abnormalities and mutations.

Slides for the afternoon session on "Introduction to Bioinformatics", delivered at the James Hutton Institute, 29th, 20th May and 5th June 2014, by Leighton Pritchard and Peter Cock.
Slides cover introductory guidance and links to resources, theory and use of BLAST tools, and a workshop featuring some common tools and tasks.
DNA sequencing is a technique that provides a detailed analysis of the structure of DNA and consists of a set of techniques and biochemical methods that allow us to determine the sequence of nucleotides (A, C, G, and T) analysis is DNA.
In the mid-1970s happened a revolution in technology for identifying DNA sequence. In 1977 was published the complete nucleotide sequence of a viral genome (φ X174, 5375 nucleotides long). This milestone in molecular biology occurred in the laboratory of Frederick Sanger, who identified the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide (insulin) 25 years earlier.
Bioinformatics is the application of computer technology to information in molecular biology, encompassing aspects of the acquisition, processing, distribution, analysis, interpretation and integration of biological information. There are several databases that organize information and they are often used, which are presented in the following bioinformatics centers: GenBank (NCBI) and BOLD Systems
The NCBI database (established in 1988) has a public database, with three components. Creating databases (store biological data), development of algorithms and statistics to determine relationships between databases, and use these tools to analyze and interpret various types of biological data (sequences of DNA, RNA, protein, protein structure, gene expression, biochemical pathways)
The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) is an informatics workbench aiding the acquisition, storage, analysis, and publication of DNA barcode records. By assembling molecular, morphological, and distributional data, it bridges a traditional bioinformatics chasm. BOLD is freely available to any researcher with interests in DNA barcoding. By providing specialized services, it aids the assembly of records that meet the standards needed to gain BARCODE designation in the global sequence databases. Because of its web-based delivery and flexible data security model, it is also well positioned to support projects that involve broad research alliances.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. What makes you unique?
• Sure, we’re all humans, but what makes
you different from others in the room.
o Your talents, interests or dreams?
o Your personality, looks or clothes?
• Actually, one of the reasons you’re unique
is because of the genes you inherited from
your parents.
o Your genes make you unique, they have a hidden potential that
can make you excel at things others can not.
• Seek out your potential and you will find it, otherwise it will be
wasted.
3.
4. Genetics
• Genetics is the study
of how traits are
passed from one
generation to the next.
o Traits are specific
characteristics that vary
from one individual to
another.
• Examples: hair color,
height, intelligence
5. Let’s check out our traits!
• Take out a piece of paper to keep track of
your traits.
• The first trait we’ll do together.
Are you colorblind?
o There are three main kinds of color vision defects. Red-green color
vision defects are the most common. This type occurs in men more
than in women. The other major types are blue-yellow color vision
defects and a complete absence of color vision. Most of the time,
color blindness is genetic.
• I will show you a series of slides. On your paper
write down the number you see or the word spots if
you don’t see a number.
o DO NOT SAY ANYTHIG OUT LOUD!
12. How did you do?
• Slide 1 showed an orange # 25
• Slide 2 showed a red # 29
• Slide 3 showed an orange # 45
• Slide 4 showed a red # 56
• Slide 5 showed a green # 6
• Slide 6 showed a green # 8
• You may be red-green colorblind if you only saw the
numbers 25 and 56. All of the other slides would have
appeared to have only had spots.
• On your paper identify if you are color blind or if you
have “normal” color vision.
13. Now for the rest…
• Individually complete the worksheet given to you. As a
class we will then collect and analyze our trait data
o http://www.usc.edu/org/cosee-
west/AprilLectureMaterials/Activities/AnInventoryofMyTraits.pdf
• Take a moment and clasp your hands together so that
they are on the desk.
o Look at your hands…
o Which finger is on top? Note this on your sheet.
• The following slides will have pictures to help you
determine if you and your partner have the various traits
we’ll be looking at.
14. Tongue roller Non roller

15. Let’s see the class results..
Let’s calculate the frequency of each trait for our class:
Number of students with the trait x 100 = ________%
Number of students in the class
Example: Hitchhiker’s thumb (Class size =21)
5 x 100 = 24%
21
Let’s compare the frequency of traits in the classroom
population with the frequency in the general population.
16.
17. The Father of Genetics
• Gregor Mendel 1822-1884
o After becoming a priest, Mendel spent several years studying
science and math.
o He spent 14 years working in the monastery and teaching at the high
school.
o Mendel was also in charge of the monastery garden. It was in this
garden that Mendel did work that would change biology forever!
18. What did Mendel do?
• Gregor Mendel discovered how traits get passed on from
one generation to the next. He discovered how heredity
works!
• How did Mendel achieve such a feat?
PEAS!
http://youtu.be/GTiOETaZg4w
19. More about pea’s please…
• Mendel knew that pea plants
can “self-pollinate”, meaning
they had both pollen (sperm)
and seeds (eggs) in the
same flower.
• This means that seeds
produced by peas inherit all
of the characteristics from
the parent plant.
20. • True-breeding plants like
peas produce offspring
identical to themselves.
• Mendel wanted to cross
pollinate the plants with
different traits. This meant
that he had to prevent self-
pollination by removing the
male parts and physically
dusting the female parts
with the desired pollen.
• This allowed Mendel to
cross breed plants with
different traits and study the
results.
21. Genes and Dominance
• Mendel studies the following pea traits.
• The offspring of parents with different traits are called
hybrids.
22. Parents and Offspring
• We call the original pair of breeding plants the P
(parental) generation.
• The offspring of the P are called the F1, or “first filial”
generation (filius means “son” and filia means “daughter” in Latin)
• What did the F1 hybrid plants look like? To Mendel’s surprise, all of
the offspring had the characteristics of only one of the parents. The
other one seemed to have disappeared.
P
23. The F2 Generation
• Mendel then allowed the F1 generation to self-pollinate to
create the F2 generation.
• Mendel discovered that the trait that “disappeared” in the
F1 showed up
again in the F2.
24. Two Conclusions
• Mendel’s first conclusion from this set of experiments
was that biological inheritance is determined by factors
that are passed from one generation to the next.
o Today we call these chemical factors that determine
traits genes.
o Each of these traits is controlled by one gene that has
two different forms.
• The different forms of a gene are called alleles.
• Example: there is one gene for plant height with
two alleles, tall and short.
http://www.powermediaplus.com/player.asp?mediaID=35531&segmentID=201142
25. The Principle of
Dominance
• The principle of dominance states that some
alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
26. Dominant Alleles
• An organism with a dominant allele for a trait will always
show that trait.
o Dominant alleles are represented with the capital
letter of the dominant trait.
o Example: T is for tall, R is for round, Y is for yellow,
etc.
o If you see a capital
letter for an allele, it
WILL show that trait.
TT or Tt are tall
RR or Rr are round
YY or Yy are green
27. Recessive Alleles
• An organism with a recessive allele for a trait will only
show that form if the dominant allele for the trait is
absent. For a recessive trait to show, there must be two
recessive alleles, NO DOMINAT.
o Recessive alleles are represented with the lower case
letter of the dominant trait.
o Example: t is for short, r is for wrinkled, y is for green,
etc.
http://www.powermediaplus.com/player.asp?mediaID=35531&segmentID=201143
28. You try it…
Take out the trait activity we recently did. Write the allele
combination you may have for each of the following traits. Let’s
do the first couple together.
• Unattached earlobes are dominant and attached
earlobes are recessive.
• Straight thumb is dominant and hitchhiker’s thumb is recessive.
• The ability to roll the tongue a dominant trait and the lack of
tongue rolling ability a recessive trait.
• Dimples dominant and a lack of dimples recessive.
• Right handedness dominant and left handedness
recessive.
• Freckles is dominant, the absence of freckles is recessive.
• Cleft chin dominant and a smooth chin recessive.
• Widow’s peak dominant and a straight hairline recessive.
29. Explaining the F1 cross
• Remember that when Mendel allowed the F1 generation
to self-pollinate that the recessive trait showed up in 25%
of the population.
• This reappearance indicated that at some point the allele
for yellow separated from the allele for green.
30. The Law of Segregation
• Mendel realized that alleles separate when gametes or
sex cells (sperm and eggs) form.
• During gamete formation, alleles separate from each
other so that each gamete carries only one allele.
31. Vocabulary
• Homozygous: organisms that have two identical allelles
for a trait. Example: TT or tt (true breeding)
o HOMO means same
• Heterozygous: Organisms that have two different
alleles for a trait. Example: Tt (hybrids)
o HETERO means different
• Phenotype: The physical characteristics (what we see).
Example: tall, short, round
• Genotype: The genetic make-up (combination of
alleles). Example: TT, aa, Rr

34. Section 11-2
Probability and Punnett Squares
• The likelihood of something happening is called
probability.
o When you flip the coin what is the probability of flipping a head?
o When you roll the dice, what is the probability of getting a two?
• When talking probabilities, past outcomes DO NOT
affect future ones.
• The principle of probability can be used to predict the
outcome of genetic crosses.
35. Genetics with a Smile
• http://sciencespot.net/Media/gen_smilewkst1.pdf
• Now for an activity to see how probability plays a role in
genetic crosses.
36. Punnett Squares
• Gene combinations that could result
from a genetic cross (breeding) can
be determined by drawing a Punnett
Square.
o A Punnett Square demonstrates how
alleles segregate in the gametes and the
possible combinations of them coming
together again in the offspring.
o The Punnett Square is a guide to possible
results, not a guarantee of results.
38. Probabilities predict averages!
• Remember that probabilities predict the average
outcome of a large number of events.
o Probability does not predict the precise outcome of an
individual event.
• The same is true of genetics. The larger the
number of offspring, the closer the resulting
numbers will get to expected values.
39. Monohybrid Cross
• Studying the inheritance of a single trait is called a
monohybrid cross.
• In humans, acondroplasia “dwarfism” (D) is dominant over
normal (d). A homozygous dominant (DD) person dies before
the age of one. A heterozygous (Dd) person is dwarfed. A
homozygous recessive individual is normal.
A heterozygous dwarf man marries a dwarf
heterozygous woman……..
40. What is the probability of having a normal
child?
What is the probability of having a child that is
a dwarf?
What is the probability of having a child that
dies at one from this disorder?
42. Section 11-3 Exploring
Mendelian Genetics
• After showing that alleles segregated during the
formation of gametes, Mendel wondered if certain alleles
traveled together or if they separated independently from
each other..
o Example: Does the gene that determines a seeds shape (round or
wrinkled) have anything to do with the seeds color (yellow or green)?
Must a round seed also be yellow?
45. Dihybrid Practice
A tall green pea plant (TTGG) is crossed with a short white pea plant (ttgg).
TT or Tt = tall tt = short GG or Gg = green gg = white
___________ X ___________
46. Now you try…
A tall green pea plant (TTGg) is crossed with a tall green pea plant (TtGg)
___________ X ___________
TT or Tt = tall tt = short GG or Gg = green gg = white
47. Independent Assortment
• The principle of independent
assortment states that
genes for different traits do
not travel together.
o We now know that if genes are
located on the same
chromosome, they can travel
together.
• It’s this independent
assortment that gives us the
many genetic variations we
observe in plants, animals
and other organisms.
48. A Summary of Mendel’s
Principles
• The traits we inherit come from our genes. Genes are
passed from parents to offspring.
• Some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
• Each organism receives an allele from each parent to
make their genes. These genes are segregated when
gametes are formed.
• Alleles for different genes segregate independently of
one another.
49. Beyond Dominant and
Recessive
• We now know that there are many exceptions to
Mendel’s principles.
o The majority of genes have more than two alleles.
o Many traits are controlled by more than one gene.
• Some alleles are neither dominant nor
recessive, and many traits are controlled by
multiple alleles or genes.
50. Incomplete Dominance
• A cross between some individuals causes a trait to blend
together. When one allele is not completely dominant
over another it is called incomplete dominance.
• Red (RR) + White (WW)= pink (RW)
• Example: A cross between
A red flower (RR) and
a white flower (WW) creates
Pink flowers (RW)
51. Codominance
• When both alleles are dominant and both show up in the
offspring, it’s called codominance.
o Examples: Roan Cows Erminette Chickens
Blood Type AB
52. Multiple alleles
• Many genes have more than two alleles that exist in a
population.
o An individual will still only have two alleles for the trait.
• One example is coat color in rabbits. A rabbit’s coat
color is determined by a single gene that has at least
four different alleles.
53. What color eyes…
• What color eyes would your children have?
o http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html
54. Eye color can change…
• Baby eyes: Eye color changes in
children are usually due to a delay in the
production of melanin. The greater
amount of melanin present in the eye
usually denotes a more brown tint.
• Pupil size: Eye color can also change
as the pupils dilate and shrink. As the
pupil dilates, the melanin pigments in the
iris are pushed together causing a
darker looking eye. As the pupil shrinks,
the melanin pigments spread out making
the eyes appear lighter in color.
55. Eye color change…
• Disease: some diseases can cause dramatic changes
in eye color. For example, some diseases may change
one eye color from brown to blue resulting in
heterochromia (two different colored eyes).
o Horner syndrome, some forms of glaucoma, and Fuch's disease
can cause a change in eye color.
• Age: Between 10 and 15 percent of the Caucasian
population will experience a change in eye color as they
age. This is usually due to a degradation of the color of
the pigments in the eye, or a loss of melanin granules in
the eyes over time.
56. Polygenic Traits
• Many traits are produced by the interaction of
many genes.
o Traits controlled by two or more genes are polygenic
traits.
• For example, the wide range of skin color in
humans comes about partly because more than
four different genes control the trait.
57. Applying Mendel’s Principles
• In the 1900’s a scientist, Thomas Morgan, wanted to find an
organism that could help advance the study of genetics.
• He decided on the fruit fly Drosophila because
o It could produce lots of offspring very quickly (up to 100 offspring per pair)
o It’s easy to keep in the lab
o It’s small
• He discovered that Mendel’s
principles apply to all organisms,
not just plants.
58. Genetics and the
Environment
• The characteristics of any organism are not determined
only be the genes it inherits. They are determined by
interactions between genes and the environment.
o Example: Genes may affect a sunflowers height and the color of its flowers, but
these characteristics are also influenced by climate, soil and water.
• Genes provide a plan for development, but how that plan
unfolds also depends on the environment.
59. Section 11-4 Meiosis
• Mendel did not know
where the genes he
had discovered were
located in the cell.
o We now know that genes
are located on
chromosomes in the cell
nucleus.
o http://youtu.be/qCLmR9-
YY7o
60. Chromosome Number
• Remember that offspring inherit a single copy of each
gene from each parent, or half the number of
chromosomes.
• This means that when gametes (sex cells) form, the two
sets of genes must be separated so each gamete ends
up with only one set.
61. Vocabulary
• Homologous
chromosomes: The
matching chromosomes that
come from each parent.
• Diploid: A body cell with
both sets of chromosomes
(2N)
• Haploid: sex cells
with only one set of
chromosomes (N)
62. Meiosis
• Meiosis turns a
diploid cell into a
haploid cell.
o 2N Into N
• Recall that mitosis
clones a cell.
• 2N makes another 2N
63. Meiosis 1 - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• Prior to meiosis 1, each
chromosome is replicated.
• In meiosis 1 each
chromosome pairs with its
homologous partner to form
a tetrad (4 chromatids). This
pairing is KEY to
understanding meiosis.
• As tetrads are formed, they
exchange portions of their
chromatids in a process
called crossing over
(prophase I)
64. Next…
• The homologous chromosomes separate and two new
cells are formed.
• The chromosomes have been sorted and shuffled like a
deck of cards. VERY IMPORTANT to diversity.
• These new cells
now have
chromosomes and
alleles that are
different from each
other and from the
parent cells!
65. Meiosis 2
• Now one more division
to half the genetic
material in each cell.
• We now have 4
genetically
different cells!
(mitosis creates
2 genetically
identical cells)
66.
67. 11-5 Linkage and Gene
Maps
• Mendel concluded that alleles assort independently from
each other, but he didn’t know genes were on
chromosomes.
• Do genes on the same chromosome travel together?
• Well, when Morgan was studying his fruit flies in 1910 he
discovered that the answer was yes.
68. • Every chromosome is
actually a group of linked
genes.
• This means that
Mendel’s conclusion still
holds true only its
chromosomes that assort
independently and not
every allele.
69. Genetic Diversity
• Sometimes crossing over separates the genes that are
on a chromosome and can produce a new combination
of alleles.
• This helps create genetic diversity!
70. Let’s try it out…
• Everyone come up and get a cell division set.
• If you do not have one partner with someone who
does.
• Meiosis 1 is similar to mitosis, let’s review.
• Now…
