Genetics
Gregor Mendel
• 1840’s
• Austrian Monk
• Tended garden, became interested in
characteristics of plants
• “Father of Genetics”
2 laws of Heredity
• 1-Law of segregation
• 2-Law of independent assortment
Mendel and his Peas
• Analyzed 7
characteristics (traits) of
pea plants….size, color,
seed texture, flowers
present, height
• Cross-pollinated various
traits to view outcome

Cross Pollination vs. Self Pollination
Fig. 23Ab
Brushing on
pollen from
another plant
All peas are yellow when
one parent produces yellow
seeds and the other parent
produces green seeds.
What he noticed…
• Tall plants mixed with short plants always produced tall plants
• However….the offspring of the above plants sometimes
produced short plants in the 2nd generation
What does this mean?
• If a tall plant mixes with a short plant and the
offspring are all tall, tall must be a DOMINANT
TRAIT and the tall parents must have been
PURE BRED
Punnet Square
• Used to show probability of trait expression
when combining 2 parents genes (F1
generation)
• T-tall
• t-short
When offspring self pollinated….why
were some short?
• The offspring of the self pollinated pea plants
produced short plants because they were not
TRUE BREEDING (pure bred), they had a
recessive short gene hidden. (F2 generation)
• T-tall
• t-short
Allele
Gene for a specific trait
*Everyone has 2 alleles for a specific trait (1
from mom and 1 from dad)
If a pea plant height is Tt, they got one T from
one parent and the t from the other parent
Dominant and Recessive Alleles
• Dominant alleles will be expressed (you will
SEE the trait) over the recessive allele
• Recessive alleles will be hidden by the
dominant allele but will still be a part of the
persons genotype (gene combination for a
specific trait)
• The only way a recessive allele will be
expressed is in the absence of a dominant
allele or when 2 recessive alleles are present.
Vocab for alleles
• Homozygous dominant, pure bred dominant,
true breeding dominant-ALL mean that the
genotype is 2 dominant genes (TT)
• Homozygous recessive, pure bred recessive,
true bred recessive-ALL mean that the
genotype is 2 recessive genes (tt)
• Heterozygous-Alleles for a genotype are
different, one recessive, one dominant (Tt)
*Can also be called HYBRID
Genotype and Phenotype
• Genotype-gene or allele combination for a
specific trait
• Phenotype-what characteristic is physically
seen from the genotype
• Can be expressed in ratios or percentages
• Ex- Tt is genotype, Tall is the phenotype
Practice Punnets
• Round seeds in pea plants are dominant to
wrinkled seeds. Self fertilize a heterozygous
pea plant. R-round, r-wrinkled
• Genotype:
• Phenotype:
• Purple are dominant flowers in pea plants
over white flowers. Cross a homozygous
dominant, with a homozygous recessive.
• Purple-P, white-p
• Genotype:
• Phenotype:
• Yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds in
pea plants. Cross a homozygous recessive
with a heterozygous. Y-yellow, y-green
• Genotype:
• Phenotype:
Mendel's Laws
• 1-Law of segregation…..Alleles split into each
offspring box
• 2-Law of independent assortment…..alleles
sort out randomly in each offspring box
completely independent of other genes (by
chance)

•
Is it possible to get a white
flowered pea plant from 2 purple
flowered plants?
Try These!!
• Cross a pure bred tall plant with a
heterozygous tall plant. List genotypes and
phenotypes
• Cross a heterozygous round seeded plant with
a wrinkled seeded plant. List genotypes and
phenotypes
Is it possible to do a punnett square
using more than one trait?
• Try this one….cross a heterozygous purple
plant, homozygous tall plant with a
homozygous white plant, heterozygous tall
plant. List genotypes and phenotypes
Co-Dominance
Try this one:
• Fur color in cats is co-dominant. Cross a Black
male with an Orange female.
• *When you are done….Cross 2 orange cats…

Genes on sex chromosomes
• Y chromosome
– few genes other than SRY
• sex-determining region
• master regulator for maleness
• turns on genes for production of male hormones
• X chromosome
– other genes/traits beyond sex determination
• mutations:
– hemophilia
– Duchenne muscular dystrophy
– color-blindness
Human X chromosome
• Sex-linked
– usually means
“X-linked”
– more than
60 diseases traced
to genes on X
