Add genotypes (homozygous, heterozygous)
The Big Leap:
Mendel’s experiment demonstrated that …
Mendel’s experiment demonstrated that offspring… parents
Mendel’s experiments … meiosis
Mendel’s Two Laws
Law of Segregation: Alleles for a trait segregate during
gamete formation (Meiosis)
Law of independent Assortment: Genes for different
traits assort independently of each other during gamete
formation (meiosis)

Genetic Disorders
Gallery walk
Given your topic construct a genetics problems that another group
can answer.
Class work: Genetic Disorders
Test: Friday, Nov. 22nd
Sickle Cell Anemia
Single Recessive Gene
Homozygous Recessive
– Cells Sickle
Causes difficulty in
blood transmission of
blood
Heterozygous –
resistant to Malaria
Tay-Sachs
Recessively Inherited
Gene is on Chromosome 15
Blocks production of an enzyme that breaks down fat in brain
Fat accumulates in the brain’s nerve cells
Child – Dies normally before 5 years of age
Cystic Fibrosis
Recessive Disorder
4% of European descent are
carriers
Homozygous Recessive
Defective protein to transport
chloride
Chloride Causes mucus to
build up – multiple problems
from breathing too digestion
Huntington’s Disease
Dominantly inherited
Neurodegenerative disorder
Late onset (35-55yrs)
Breast Cancer Gene
BRCA – 1 and BRCA – Tumor Suppressing genes
Mutations – linked to increase in Ovarian Cancer and
Breast Cancer
Normal Rates 1.5%
With Mutation 15 – 40%
Questions:
You are newly pregnant. You and your husband go to the
doctor and test the fetus for various genetic disorders.
The test comes back positive for Tay-Sachs, what do you
do?
You find out that your father has Huntington’s disease.
Do you get tested for the gene?
You are 30 years old and a friend talks to you about
getting tested for the BRCA gene mutation. Do you get
tested?
