Beyond Mendel, Sex Linkage, Human Genetics Mendel studied only simple inheritance WELL-DEFINED, DOM/REC Non-Mendelian Inheritance Patterns Incomplete Dominance: INTERMEDIATE HET (Rr = PINK) Homework - perform P, F1, F2 crosses USING SNAPDRAGONS Multiple Alleles: some genes have MORE THAN TWO ALLELES Understand: A, B, O BLOOD TYPING Phenotype Type A Type B Type O Type AB Genotype Understand: A, B, O BLOOD TYPING Phenotype Genotype Type A Type B Type O Type AB AA or AO Understand: A, B, O BLOOD TYPING Phenotype Genotype Type A Type B Type O Type AB AA or AO BB or BO Understand: A, B, O BLOOD TYPING Phenotype Genotype Type A Type B Type O Type AB AA or AO BB or BO OO Understand: A, B, O BLOOD TYPING Phenotype Genotype Type A Type B Type O Type AB AA or AO BB or BO OO AB Codominance: both alleles EXPRESSED/DETECTED (e.g. AB) Nature/Nurture: environment INFLUENCES PHENOTYPE Morgan, Flies, Sex Linkage - 1910s Genes Shown on Chromosomes By now, scientists could see CHROMOSOMES AND MEIOSIS Drosophila melanogaster: FRUIT FLY Autosomes (flies have 3 pairs): NOT GENDER DETERMINING Sex Chromosomes (flies have 1 pair): GENDER DETERMINING, X AND Y Wild Type: DOMINANT (e.g. RED EYES) Mutant: RECESSIVE (e.g. WHITE EYES) Cross 1: True Parentals RED FEMALE X WHITE MALE At first, Morgan assumed eye color was autosomal/Mendelian: F1 = Rr, F2 = 3:1 But F2 was half unexpected: where all females red, MALES 50:50 RED:WHITE Morgan formed a new hypothesis: GENE FOR EYE COLOR ONLY ON X Rule Three: For sex linkage, show alleles on X’s (e.g. XR) - none on Y’s. Prediction must include gender. Use Mendelian letters for genes - not Morgan’s (+/-) naming system. Let’s Show the P X P Cross to F1 P Gametes: red/female X white/male Let’s Show the P X P Cross to F1 P Gametes: red/female X white/male XR Xr Y XR Xr XR XR Xr XR XR Xr Y XRY XRY Predictions: 50% RED FEMALES 50% RED MALES Let’s Show the F1 X F1 Cross to F2 F1 Gametes: Het/Female X Red/Male Let’s Show the F1 X F1 Cross to F2 F1 Gametes: het/female X red/male XR XR Y Xr XR XR XR XR Xr Xr XR Y XR Y Xr Y Predictions: 50% RED FEMALES 25% RED MALES; 25% WHITE MALES Is this consistent with observations? Some Human Genetics Pedigree Analysis: MASTER ALL RULES Make sure you define shaded trait OR write phenotype below each person. The following FYI traits are NOT on exam.
