1 Gene$cs the study of heredity Based on the study of probability (likelihood) 1. Why should we study gene$cs? Disease causes/treatments Biotechnology agriculture, animal husbandry Breeding Pedigrees- family lineages Evolu$onary trends 1

2 1.How are genes passed on to our offspring? 2. Sperm carry ½ and eggs ½ of gene$c code. 1. How are sperm & eggs produced? 2. Meiosis germ cells divide to produce haploid cells (1 set of chromosomes) 3. Haploid =1N 2. Meiosis has 2 divisions to reduce chromosome number 2

3 2. What are the phases of meiosis? Meiosis I Prophase I- Crossing over of alleles occurs! Metaphase I- homologous chromosomes side by side Anaphase I- ho. chrom. separate (not chroma$ds) Telophase I- 2 cells with 2 chroma$ds of every chromos. Meiosis II Prophase II- nothing happens Metaphase II- chromo align single file Anaphase II- chroma$ds pull apart Telophase II- 4 total cells w/ 1 copy of each chromo. 3

4 1N + 1N = 2N (a diploid cell) 46 XX= female 46 XY = male 23 pr homologous chromosomes What are the results of meiosis? 4 cells Gene$cally different Haploid (1N) In females, only one egg is used 4

5 What happens if chromosomes don t separate properly? Nondisjuc$on results in trisomy or monosomy 5

6 Dragon gene$cs ac$vity to learn basic vocabulary Check for understanding following ac$vity: BB Bb Bb Allele/gene Genotype/phenotype Mate your dragons Punne` squares Designed to PREDICT outcomes (expected ra$os) 6

7 Single gene crosses monohybrid: Aa x Aa Or : AA x Aa Or Testcross: aa x A Cys$c fibrosis Due to a recessive allele (ff) Faulty membrane protein does not regulate NaCl Cells create mucous around them/breeding ground for bacteria Chromo #7 Hun$ngton disease Due to a dominant allele Late onset (35 years+) Protein (hun$ng$n) destroys nerve cells Due to a repeat of more than 21 CAG in a gene Chromosome 4 (discovered in 1983) Maracaibo, Venezuela- Hun$ngton research 7

8 Di- crosses probability problems Rh factors- effect on fetus- protein on RBC- rh from RHESUS monkey- Rh neg makes an$bodies against Rh protein- Rh is important during fetal development Albinism- due to recessive alleles Review terms Alleles/gene Genotype/phenotype Homozygous/heterozygous Probability Offspring/ F1/F2 genera$ons Dominant/recessive Quiz 1. Explain how an allele is related to a gene. 2. What is the rela$onship between a genotype and a phenotype? 3. Which of the following combina$ons are homozygous? BB Bb bb 8

9 4. T- tall t short Y yellow y- green Cross a plant that is heterozygous tall and homozygous for green seeds with a plant that is short and is also homozygous for green seeds. List the genotypes and ra$os for the above cross. List the phenotypes and ra$os for the above cross. Codominance Both alleles of a gene express themselves= both proteins are produced Examples: AB blood type (protein A and protein B ) Sickle cell trait ( point muta$on in hemoglobin)- produces 3 phenotypes- normal, trait, anemia Blood type importance Your immune system makes an$bodies against foreign proteins. An$body A a`acks blood type A An$body B a`acks blood type B An$bodies A & B a`ack blood type AB An$bodies A & B DO NOT a`ack blood type O 9

10 blood types- mul$ple alleles Phenotype (protein) Blood type A Blood type B Blood type AB Genotype (alleles) AA or AO BB or BO AB Blood type O OO Blood type lab An$bodies can cause blood to clump (agglu$nate) This is how blood is typed for accuracy for transfusions. What is the importance of sickle cell trait? Evolu$onary advantage to survive Malaria heterozygote advantage- NS (trait) S cells sickle and the protozoan is killed 10

11 Video clip on sickle cell evolu$on Normal RBCs vs. Sickle RBCs phenotype Normal blood cells ½ normal & ½ can sickle all can sickle genotype NN NS SS Incomplete dominance 2 alleles blend their traits and produce a 3 rd phenotype Examples: Palamino horses (ncomplete & polygenic) Tay- Sachs enzyme levels (enzymes, some enzymes, no enzyme) 11

13 hemophilia Hemophiliacs lack protein factors for cloung. Pedigrees 13

14 Red green color blindness Muscular dystrophy 14

16 Polygenic inheritance More than one gene codes for a trait Examples skin color, eye color, height, hair color Genes are addi$ve Muta$ons Can be neutral, harmful or beneficial. Point muta$ons: subs$tutes a base Frameshiv muta$ons: add or delete a base Chromosomal changes 16

17 Dele$on: Cri- du- chat Duplica$on: Fragile X Transloca$on 17
