Transcript Chapter 3 - Independent assortment of genes

Review
Mendel’s “rules of the game”
1) Genes occur in pairs - Genetic characteristics are
controlled by genes that exist in pairs called alleles.
2) Dominance/Recessiveness- When two unlike alleles responsible
for a single character are present in a single individual, one is
dominant (expressed) to the other which is said to be
recessive (silent).
3) Segregation- during formation of the gametes, the paired
alleles separate or segregate randomly.
Question
Yellow seeded plants in the F2 are predicted
to have either GG or Gg genotypes.
Is there a way to distinguish the genotype?
Test Cross
The organism of dominant phenotype but
unknown genotype is crossed to a homozygous
recessive individual.

If the offspring show 1:1 ratio of dominant:recessive phenotypes,
the parent in question must have been heterozygous (Gg).

If the offspring show only the dominant phenotype, the parent in
question must have been a homozygous dominant (GG) individual.
Discovering genes via Mutant
analysis
• Generating mutants
– Chemical mutagenesis (EMS)
– base transition, point mutation
– Radiation
– deletions
– Transposons/ T-DNA tags
– insertion/deletions (indels)
Forward Genetics
- from phenotype to gene
ID the phenotype
ID the physiological, developmental,
molecular differences
ID the gene (DNA sequence)
And
observing segregation ratios
• Planned crosses and Punnett squares,
• Pedigree analysis
– Mutant or polymorphism analysis
• Autosomal dominant/recessive
• Sex-linked genes
If A represents a gene that displays
autosomal dominant/recessive
inheritance.
The genotype of I-1 must be:

Reverse Genetics
- from gene to phenotype
• ID a gene
• Mutate, knockout, over-express the gene
• Analyze the morphological, physiology,
developmental effects (the phenotype).
Independent Assortment

- crosses between individuals that
differ in two traits.

Independent Assortment - during gamete
formation, segregating pairs of unit factors
assort independently of each other.

Chromosomal Basis of
Inheritance
Meiosis
(the prelude to
sexual
reproduction)
For sexual reproduction to occur, chromosomes must be
duplicated and divided between the gametes.
Meiosis I
Meiosis II
Independent Assortment
- during gamete formation, segregating pairs
of chromosomes (not genes) assort
independently of each other.

Continuous variation is
