How are purebreeds
different from mixed
breeds?
Purebreeds are from
parents who share
the same genes
while mixed breeds
are not
Gregor Mendel is
known as the father
of modern genetics
What process is illustrated on
the right?
The purple flower is being
fertilized by the pollen of the
white flower (crossfertilization).
What do we call the parental
generation?
The P generation
What do we call the
offspring?
F1
Mendel looked at
several traits.
Which is dominant
yellow pea seed or
green pea seed?
Yellow
When you make a cross for
one trait like flower color
it is called a _______
cross
Monohybrid - mono for one
hybrid for different
Why are all the F1
purple?
Because purple is
dominant to white each
F1 flower has a P allele
and a p allele.
Why is the F2 different
from the F1?
Because in the F2
generation two pp can
occur in the offspring

What does loci
mean?
Location of a gene
Define homozygous
and heterozygous
Homozygous - same
alleles PP or pp
Heterozygous different alleles Pp
When two traits are crossed
it is called a _________
cross
Dihybrid
Why doesn’t a dihybrid cross
produce the same outcome
as a monohybrid cross?
Independent assortmentwhere the alleles for pea
shape go, have nothing to do
with the alleles for pea color.
What is the ratio of
phenotypes, coat color
and vision?
9 both dominant
3 One dominant, one
recessive
3 One recessive, one
dominant
1 both recessive

What do you think is the
purpose of a testcross?
To determine the genotype
of a dominant individual
Why cross the unknown
individual to a homozygous
recessive?
If any recessives show up in
the offspring we know the
unknown carries the
recessive trait.
What is the chance
of getting two Bb in
a row?
2/4 x 2/4 = 4/16 =
1/4
Does dominant
mean more
common?
No freckles are not
necessarily more
common.
What is this diagram
called?
Pedigree chart
Why can’t we predict
Abigail Lambert’s
genotype?
We don’t know about
her offspring and she
possesses the
dominant trait so she
could be Dd or DD
Why do you think we
call Dd a carrier?
They carry the trait, but
since it is recessive you
can’t see it.
What type of disorder is
this?
A recessive disorder
like Cystic Fibrosis
Achondroplasia, a type of
dwarfism, is a __________
trait.
Dominant
Huntington’s is also
dominant but doesn’t usually
take effect until after the age
of 30. What is the potential
problem with that?
They have already had
children and passed it on.
What are two ways
to test for inherited
disorders in a fetus?
Amniocentesis and
Chronic villus
sampling.
When red and white
make pink offspring
it is called _______
dominance?
Incomplete
What is the ratio of
the F2 generation?
1red:2pink:1white
In blood type A is
dominant to O and B
is dominant to O but
A and B arre equally
dominant. What do
we call this type of
inheritance?
Codominance
If Maria is type O and
her sister is type AB
blood and they know
there mother’s
grandparents are type
A. What are the
genotypes of their
parents?
Mother is Iai and dad is
I Bi
Normal red blood cells and
sickle cells
This picture illustrates
pleiotropy, what do you
think that means?
One gene can have an
affect on many different
things in the body sickle cell shaped cells
can cause heart failure,
kidney failure etc.
How many different
genes are involved in
skin color?
3
When many genes
cause a trait like skin
color it is called
_______
Polygenic inheritance
What does this
picture illustrate?
Independent
assortment - shape
and color line up
separately.
When two genes are
on the same
chromosome like purple
flower and long pollen
or red hair and freckles,
it is called _________.
Linked - they tend to
travel together because
the are close together
and are rarely
separated by crossing
over.
What would you expect to be
the outcome of the cross
GgLl and ggll
1GgLl:1Ggll:1ggLl:1ggll =
equal numbers of each type.
Is that what was observed?
No - most were like either
parent
What is the chance that
crossing over will happen?
17%
The crossing over
frequency can be used
to calculate the distance
between genes on the
chromosome. What is
the distance between
body color and wing
shape in fruit flies?
17
Many organisms
have chromosomes
that determine sex,
humans have ___
and ____
X and Y
In chickens it is ___
and ____
Z and W
Where is the eye
color gene located?
X
What is the only way
to get a female that
has white eyes?
The dad must have
an X with white eyes
When a gene is on the
sex chromosome it is
called sex linked.
Red/green
colorblindness is sex
linked.
How would this test for
colorblindeness?
A colorblind person
would not see the
seven in the middle
Queen Victoria
passed on a sex
linked trait to her
family, what was it?
Hemophilia
Duchenne muscular
dysytrophy is also
sex linked
