Name Class *GENETIC NOTES & WORKSHEETS DAY 1: Mendelian Genetics Vocabulary A. Genetics- Study of B. Heredity- The passing on of characteristics (traits) from to C. Trait A particular that can vary from one individual to another. Ex: D. Fertilization- Joining of male and female (reproductive cells) during reproduction E. Genes- Section of a chromosome that determine the trait we will inherit Ex: Sally has the gene for brown hair F. Alleles- of one gene Ex: Brown, red, or blond hair are all different forms the hair color gene G. Dominant Gene- expressed if present for a trait Dominant allele = capital letter (B) H. Recessive Gene- Only expressed if are present for that trait Recessive allele = lowercase letter (b) PRACTICE! Use the term Dominant or Recessive to identify the type of trait shown. 1. TT 2. tt 3. Tt 4. SS 5. ss 6. Ss SPERM EGG I. Homozygous- Organisms have alleles for a trait Ex: RR (BIG/BIG) or rr (small/small) J. Heterozygous- Organisms have alleles for a trait EX: Rr (BIG/small) PRACTICE! Use the term Homozygous or Heterozygous to identify each of the following: 1. AA 2. Aa 3. Mm 4. gg 5. GG 6. Gg K. Genotype- the genetic makeup ( ) or combination of (one from mom and one from dad) Ex: QQ, Qq, qq L. Phenotype- characteristics of the trait Ex: Brown Hair (what you see) Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) A.

Mendel s Conclusions: A. Biological Inheritance is from one to the next. Ex: your traits were determined by your parents genes that were passed onto you. B. Law of During, the pairs of so that each gamete receives only one gene for each trait C. Law or Principal of Some alleles are and some are. Recessive traits will only show up if dominant is present Punnett Squares following Mendelian Rules of Genetics A. A Punnett Square is a used to the outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment B. Used to determine the of offspring s genotypes and phenotypes C. This does determine how many offspring will be produced or exactly what the offspring s genotype and phenotype will be just the chances! D. There are five steps (you must always show your work) 1. Key- List the trait, Both alleles, and which phenotype corresponds with each allele 2. Parents- List the genotypes of each parent 3. Draw the Punnett square 4. Determine the genotype ratio 5. Determine the phenotype ratio Complete the following Punnett squares using all 5 steps SAMPLE PROBLEM: Wavy hair is dominant to straight hair. Cross two heterozygous parents. X 3.

Mendelian Genetics- Dihybrid Crosses (Crossing 2 Traits/Factors) Review of Monohybrid Crosses Remember, monohybrid crosses involve only trait Example: In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. RR x rr In this example you are only examining the trait. Dihybrid Cross: the study of pairs of contrasting traits at the same time Example: Fur color WITH Coat Texture Fur Color: Coat Texture: B: Black R: Rough b: White r: Smooth Mother is black fur AND rough coat BbRr Father is black fur AND rough coat BbRr Notice that each parent has so that results in (1 trait= 2 alleles) The Law of Independent Assortment During formation, segregating pairs of unit (alleles) assort of each other when on different chromosomes. The two traits are inherited totally independently of each other. Example: Fur color is inherited independently of coat texture. Sample problem 1: We will cross a heterozygous individual with another heterozygous individual. Their genotypes will be BbRr x BbRr Step 1: Find ALL possible gametes that can be made from each parent. Remember, each gamete must have one B and one R. USE THE FOIL METHOD B b R r x B b R r Step 2: Arrange all possible gametes for one parent on the top of your Punnett Square and the other parent on the side Fur Color: B: Black b: White Coat Texture: R: Rough r: Smooth Step 3: Fill in the Punnett Square (find the possible genotypes of the offspring) Step 4: Figure out the genotypic and phenotypic ratios:
How many of the offspring would have a black, rough coat? How many of the offspring would have a black, smooth coat? How many of the offspring would have a white, rough coat? How many of the offspring would have a white, smooth coat? Phenotypic ratio : : : Sample Problem 2: What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the offspring resulting from a cross between two people heterozygous for eye color and eyelash length? What is the phenotype of the parents in this cross? B Brown b Blue L - Long l short Parents are heterozygous for both traits. The cross is B b L l x B b L l. STEP 1: Determine the possible gametes that the parents can produce. USE FOIL for independent assortment STEP 2: Enter the possible gametes at the top and side of the Punnett square. Always keep the same letter first and capitals of each first. STEP 3: Complete the Punnett square by writing the alleles from the gametes in the appropriate boxes. The alleles from the gamete above the box and the alleles from the gamete to the side of the box are combined inside each of the boxes. The letters inside each box represent the probably genotypes of the offspring resulting from the cross. STEP 4: Determine the genotypes of the offspring. Count each row from left to right (as you read). Mark each one as it is used. Determine the phenotypes of the offspring. Count each row vertically (top to bottom). Genotypes Phenotypes
Practice Problems: In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called running mice (R). The recessive trait causes mice to run in circles only. Mice with the trait are called waltzing mice (r). Hair color is also inherited in mice. Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b). For each of the following problems, draw a Punnett Square in the space provided and fill in the information on the indicated lines. CREATE THE KEY: 1. Cross a heterozygous running, heterozygous black mouse with a homozygous running, homozygous black mouse. Parents: X 2. Cross a homozygous running, homozygous black mouse with a heterozygous running, brown mouse. Parents: X 3. Cross a waltzing, brown mouse with a waltzing, brown mouse. Parents: X 4.

Name Date Period PAP Non-Mendelian Genetics: Codominant Traits with Blood Typing Codominance A. A cross between organisms with _ phenotypes 1. Ex: Red x White B. Produce offspring with a phenotype that displays traits at the same time 1. Ex: Red and White striped C. EXAMPLE: If a homozygous flowered snap dragon plant (RR) is crossed with a homozygous flowered snap dragon plant (WW), all of the F1 offspring will have flowers. 1. RED flower x WHITE flower RED AND WHITE flower Human Codominance A. Sickle-Cell Anemia 1. An individual who is heterozygous for sickle-cell alleles will express BOTH and blood cells. The oxygen carrying protein hemoglobin differs by one amino acid than the regular cause the shape to change: Normal RBC are and abnormal are or sickle shaped. 2. Abnormally shaped blood cells,, and result in tissue damage and. 3. Heterozygous individuals are said to have the sickle-cell trait because they show signs of sickle-cell related disorders if the availability of oxygen is reduced. B. Blood types 1. Blood type is determined by alleles. This means there are more than two types of alleles possible that can make up a paring. : red blood cells produce A antigens (protein) on the outside of the cell A. Allele is expressed I A because it is : red blood cells produce B antigens (protein) on the outside of the cell B. Allele is expressed I B because it is : red blood cells will produce an antigen (protein) C. Allele is expressed i because it is 2. Determining Blood types is necessary before you receive a blood transfusion because incompatible red blood cells together or clot causing death. 3. Your immune system or antibodies recognizes the red blood cells belonging to you. If cells with a of antigen enter your body your immune system will attack them. PAP

Non- Mendelian Genetics: SEX- LINKED TRAITS A. Determining Sex 1. Humans have a number of chromosomes or 2. 22 of the pairs are autosomes, they are the for males and females 3. The 23 rd pair of chromosomes in males and females These are the sex chromosomes and are indicated by and determine the baby s sex. B. Inheriting Sex linked traits 1. Genes located on the are called sex- linked traits 2. Because the Y chromosome is small it carries, including the male determinant sex gene. 3. Males who receive a on the X chromosomes will express the because he cannot inherit on the Y chromosome. There is dominant allele to the recessive gene 4. have a higher percent chance of expressing the recessive trait C. Examples in Humans 1. Hemophilia Causes a problem with Caused by a allele on the chromosomes Males: 1/10,000 Need recessive allele from carrier mom Females: 1/10,000,000 Need recessive alleles; one from mom and one from dad Sex- Linked Traits 2. Color Blindness People who have red-green color blindness cannot differentiate between the two colors. Caused by a allele on the X chromosomes
