The Garden Pea
Pisum sativum
• Annual plant
• Heritable features easily observed
• Monoecious: flowers have both male
and female organs
plants can self-pollinate or crosspollinate
male stamens can easily be removed to
prevent self-pollination
pollen easily transferred by dusting to
cross-pollinate
Genetic Terminology
• Heredity – transmission of
characters from parents to offspring
• Character – heritable feature
flower color
pea pod color
stem length
• Trait – heritable variant of a
character
purple flower -v- white flower
green pea pod -v- yellow pea pod
tall stems -v- dwarf (short) stem
Pea Plant Traits
• Features investigated by Mendel
flower color: purple or white
flower position: axial or terminal
seed color: yellow or green
seed shape: smooth or wrinkled
pod shape: inflated or constricted
pod color: green or yellow
stem length: tall or short
Mendel’s Methods:
Flower Structure
• Pollination – pollen grains from
male flower part are transferred
to female flower part
Anther (of stamen): male flower
part
Stigma (of carpal): female flower
part
Mendel’s Methods:
Pollination Techniques
• Self-pollination – pollen
transferred from anthers of a
flower to a stigma of the same
flower or a different flower on
the same plant
• Cross-pollination – pollen
transferred from anthers of a
flower on one plant to a stigma
of a flower on a different plant
Mendel’s Experiments:
Parental Generation
• P1 generation = strain of
plants pure for a trait (truebreeding)
“Parental” plants
Developed by self-pollinating for
generations to produce offspring
that always have the same trait as
the parents
Ex: purple-flowered parents produce
only purple-flowered offspring
Mendel’s Experiments:
Filial Generations
• F1 generation = offspring
(hybrids) of the P1 generation
Produced by cross-pollinating 2
pure (P1) strains
Ex: purple-flowered strain crosspollinated w/ white flowered strain
• F2 generation = offspring of
the F1 generation
Produced by self-pollinating F1s
Mendel’s Results
Results of
P1 & F1 Crosses
• 7 characters, each showing 2
possible traits, were tested
• 1,000s of crosses were made in
each case
• In every P1 cross – 1 trait
disappeared in the F1
• In every F1 cross – the trait
reappeared in the F2 generation
Mendel’s Experiments &
Conclusions

Mendel’s Conclusions
• Based on mathematics, each
character (ex., flower color) was
controlled by factors for 2
contrasting traits (exs., purple
flower or white flower)
• One trait-factor dominated the
other in expression of the
character when both were
present in the same plant
Mendel’s Conclusions:
Dominance & Recessiveness
• Dominant factor (trait) – masks
or “dominates” the other trait in
the F1
• Recessive factor (trait) –
disappears (or “recedes”) in the
F1 generation but reappears in
the F2
– Mendel discovered this after
carrying out monohybrid crosses
for specific characters.
Mendel’s Conclusions:
Segregation
• Law of Segregation – A pair of
factors is segregated (or
separated) during the formation
of gametes
Mendel discovered this after
carrying out P1 & F1 crosses for
specific characters.
The two paired factors that control
the expression of a trait separate
during the formation of
reproductive cells
Mendel’s Conclusions:
Independent Assortment
• Law of Independent
Assortment – Factors for
different characters are
distributed to gametes
independently
Mendel discovered this after
carrying out P1 & F1 crosses for 2
specific characters.
Plants showing the dominant trait
for one character could also show
the recessive trait for a different
character
Law of Independent
Assortment
• When considering two or more
different characters (genes), the
traits (alleles) for each segregate
into different gametes independently
Flower color
of each other
the different characters
reside on different pairs
of homologous
chromosomes
Pod color
Law of Independent
Assortment
• Mendel discovered this after
carrying out repeated dihybrid
crosses.
he crossed a true-breeding plant w/
yellow, round seeds (dominants)
and a true-breeding plant w/ green,
wrinkled seeds (recessives)
all the F1s had the dominant traits
of yellow, round seeds
Law of Independent
Assortment
he then crossed the yellow, round
F1s
in the F2 generation, plants
appeared with: yellow, round seeds
(56%); yellow, wrinkled (19%);
green, round (19%); green,
wrinkled (6%)
Factors & Chromosomes

• ASF Video plays about 2-1/4 min
Chromosomes & Genes
• Chromosomes are DNA
molecules
• DNA molecules are divided into
many distinct segments called
genes
• Genes control specific
hereditary traits
• Chromosomes occur in pairs
• Therefore genes also occur in
pairs
Chromosomes & Genes
• Alleles
Alternate versions of the same
gene
1 allele carried on each
homologous chromosome
Occur at the same locus
• the DNA of each allele has a slightly
different nucleotide sequence
• results in slightly different variations
of the same character
Alleles
Example:
The gene for the character
“flower color” on one homologue
can have an allele (factor) for purple
flowers
The gene for the character
“flower color” on the other
homologue can have an allele
(factor) for white flowers

TSW …
1. Explain how probability is used to
predict the results of genetic crosses
2. Use a Punnet square to predict the
results of monohybrid & dihybrid
crosses
3. Explain how a testcross is used to
show the genotype of an individual w/
the dominant phenotype
4. Differentiate a monohybrid cross
from a dihybrid cross
Genetic Vocabulary
• Phenotype
outward appearance of an
organism
Ex: purple flowers
• Genotype
genetic make-up of an organism
Ex: PP, Pp (– purple flowers)
pp (– white flower)
Genetic Vocabulary
• Homozygous
an organism having a pair of
identical alleles for a character
Ex: PP = homozygous dominant
Ex: pp = homozygous recessive
• Heterozygous
an organism having 2 different
alleles for a character
Ex: Pp
Probability
• Probability – the likelihood that
a specific event will occur
–
Expressed as:
decimal
percentage
fraction
Probability = # times an event is expected to occur
# opportunities for an event to occur
Probability
Q. What is the probability that
the dominant trait for purple
flowers will appear in an F2
generation?
Probability =
# times an event occurs
# opportunities for an event to occur
Mendelian Experiment:
Probability =
6,022 purple plants
= 0.75
8,023 total plants produced
Genetic Predictions
Based on laws of probability
• Multiplication Rule
The probability that 2 or more
independent events will occur together
in a specific way is determined by
multiplying the probability of 1 event by
the probability of the other event
Ex: the probability of a coin flip ending up
heads is 50% or ½. The probability that
a second coin flip will end up heads is
also 50% or ½.
Therefore, the probability that 2 coins
flipped together will both end up heads is
½ X ½ = ¼ or 25%
Genetic Predictions
Based on laws of probability
• Addition Rule
The probability that any 1 of 2 or more
independent events will occur is
determined by adding their individual
probabilities
Ex: the probability that flipped coin A will
come up heads while flipped coin B will
come up tails is 25% or ¼. The
probability that flipped coin A will come
up tails while flipped coin B will come up
heads is also 25% or ¼.
Therefore, the probability that both events
will occur is ¼ + ¼ = ½ or 50%
Predicting Results of
Monohybrid Crosses
• Monohybrid cross – a cross
btw/ individuals that involves 1
pair of contrasting traits
• Punnett square – a diagram
used as an aid in predicting the
probability that certain traits
will be inherited by offspring
Monohybrid crosses
investigate
inheritance patterns
for a single character
Mendel’s Crosses &
Punnett Squares

• ASF Video plays about 6 min
Monohybrid Cross:
Procedure
• Step 1: determine the genotypes for
each mate in the cross. The
genotype shows the allelic
combination.
Ex: Tt X Tt
• Step 2: determine all the possible
kinds of gametes that each mate can
produce. Each gamete will have 1
allele from the genotype.
Ex: T & t for one parent; T & t for the
other parent
Monohybrid Cross:
Procedure
• Step 3: construct a Punnett square.
Place the gametes for one parent
across the top & the gametes for the
other parent along the left side.
Ex: 4 boxes for a monohybrid cross. T
& t across top; T & t along side
• Step 4: combine the possible gametes
of each parent in the 4 boxes
Ex: TT in top left box; Tt in top right &
bottom left boxes; tt in bottom right box
Example 1:

Genetic
Ratios
1 PP : 2 Pp : 1 pp
• Phenotypic ratio
ratio of offspring w/ dominant
appearance to offspring w/ recessive
appearance
Ex: for offspring of 2 heterozygotes = 3:1
for monohybrid crosses
• purple-flowered to white flowered individuals
after a cross of Pp X Pp
• Genotypic ratio
ratio of homozygous dominants to
heterozygotes to homozygous recessives
Ex: for offspring of 2 heterozygotes = 1:2:1
for monohybrid crosses
Testcross
If an organism has the recessive phenotype,
we know its genotype because there is
only one way that the recessive form of the
character can occur.
Ex: White-flowered plants always have the pp
?
genotype
Question: If an organism has the dominant
phenotype, how can we determine which of
the 2 possible genotypes it has?
Ex: Purple-flowered plants can have either
the PP or the Pp genotypes
Testcross
• If you cross a homozygous
recessive, pp, with an organism of
the dominant phenotype, P?, there
are only two possible results.
If 100% of the offspring have the
dominant phenotype, the dominant
parent MUST BE a homozygous
dominant, PP
If any of the offspring have the
recessive phenotype, the dominant
parent MUST BE a heterozygote, Pp
• Determine the genotype of a
plant with the dominant
phenotype for flower color
(red-flowered).

Mendel’s Experiments
• Mendel deduced the law
independent assortment from
repeated observations of P &
F1 dihybrid crosses.
the appearance of dominant and
recessive traits according to
principles of probability led to
this conclusion
Mendel’s Experiments
• Experimental Model
With “dependent” assortment,
traits will be inherited together
F1 gametes will be either YR or yr
Phenotypic ratio will be 3:1
Hypothesis for independent
assortment, offspring will show 4
different combinations of traits
F1 gametes will be YR, Yr, yR, & yr
Phenotypic ratio will be 9:3:3:1
Mendel’s Experiments
• The Dihybrid Cross

dominant
traits) and a truebreeding
plant w/
green, wrinkled
inheritance
patterns
seeds
(bothcharacters
recessive traits)
for two
all the F1s had the dominant traits:
yellow, round seeds
Mendel’s Experiments
he then crossed the yellow, round
F1s
in the F2 generation, plants
appeared with: yellow, round seeds
(56%); yellow, wrinkled (19%);
green, round (19%); green,
wrinkled (6%)
Dihybrid Crosses:
Procedure
• Step 1: determine the genotype for
each mate in the cross. The
genotype shows the allelic
combination.
Ex: TtAa X TtAa
• Step 2: determine all the possible
kinds of gametes that each mate can
produce. Each gamete will have 1
allele from each character.
Ex: for both parents – TA, Ta, tA, ta
Dihybrid Crosses:
Procedure
• Step 3: construct a Punnett square.
Place the gametes for one parent
across the top & the gametes for the
other parent along the left side.
Ex: 16 boxes for a dihybrid cross. TA,
Ta, At, ta across top & along side
• Step 4: combine the possible gametes
of each parent in the 16 boxes
Ex: 1 TTAA; 2 TTAa; 2 TtAA; 1 TTaa;
2 Ttaa; 4 TtAa; 1 ttAA; 2 ttAa; 1 ttaa
