Mendelian Genetics

•

Also known as
Transmission Genetics

•

Explores how the genetic material is inherited from generation to generation Mendelian Genetics
 The first significant insights into the mechanisms involved in inheritance occurred in 1866 with the works of Gregor Johann
Mendel
 His publication lay the foundation for the formal discipline of genetics

 Father of Modern Genetics

Mendelian Genetics
• Mendel has been credited with discovering the first two laws of inheritance:
 Law of Segregation: o unit factors for the same character segregate independently from one another during the formation of gametes o During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pairs segregate/ separate from each other independently of one another toward the opposite poles of the cell to form progeny cells of different chromosome combinations

Mendelian Genetics
• Mendel has been credited with discovering the first two laws of inheritance:
 Law of Independent Assortment: o “the behavior of each pair of differing traits in a hybrid association is independent of all other differences in the two parental strand” o During the course of segregation of alleles different genes assort/ combine indefinitely and independently with other alleles of other genes o Exception “Linked Genes”

Reviews on Mendel’s Paper: Mendel is not a Mendelian

 About speciation and hybridization
 He tried to find a generally applicable law governing the formation and development of hybrids
 Mendel never mentioned the now-famous 9:3:3:1 ratio in his paper
 Do not announced any major discoveries or laws
 Do not introduce the concept of equivalence
 Do not study the inheritance of characters

 Mendel’s work went unnoticed until 1900s, but in the ensuing years the concept of the gene as a distinct hereditary unit was established  The ways in which genes, as members

    Fast Plants Lab Background

    Gregor Mendel is an Australian monk, who worked in a garden at a monastery. He experimented with pea plants, and soon became known as the father of genetics. The reason he studied pea plants was because they grow quickly, the traits can be easily observed, and the plant is easy to pollinate. Mendel’s method was to control the pollination of the pea plants and create offspring’s of the two plants that were pollinated together. Using self-pollination and cross pollination, Mendel was able to select plants that had specific traits and observe the traits that appeared in their offspring. The F1 generation is the offspring that is a cross between two parents. The F2 generation is the offspring that is a cross between two individuals in the same F1 generation. A dominant factor is the dominating factor, and the one that masks the effect of the recessive factor for the same characteristic. A recessive factor is one whose effect is taken over by the dominant factor for the same characteristic. Basically, a trait that is controlled by a recessive factor would not appear when paired with a trait controlled by a dominant factor.…

    Lab 8: Genetic Analysis

    In Lab 8, we had analyzed remains found at a wooded area near Jonesburg and tried to determine if the bones belonged to a 28-year-old woman who had been reported missing from a city within the vicinity. Upon analysis, it was determined that they did belong to a female. However, it was not possible to determine if the bones did belong to the missing women. Lab 12 presented the opportunity to genetically analyze the remains found. DNA profiling, also referred to as typing and fingerprinting, uses genetic material to show relatedness and uncover the identity of organisms. Most commonly associated with forensics, it can be used in an array of scientific fields such as anthropology. One method that can be used, when a large sample present, is restriction…

    GENETICS Chapter 1 Homework

    Genotype is the genetic make-up, the inheritable information, which comprises an individual organism. It is the code that is copied in reproduction and is passed from 1 generation to the next. It serves as the main guide in the growth, development and maintenance of a living organism; it also controls the formation of certain proteins and regulation of metabolism and synthesis. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene and genotype refer to a specific allele like hair color, height, skin tone, etc. These observable traits are the phenotype. Phenotype is the resulting characteristic of an encoded genotype; it is what we can see, it’s the physical appearance of an organism.…

    chapter 10 bio. outline

    Mendel's initial experiments examined a single trait. The Punnett square is a tool which charts the possible combinations of alleles in offspring from two parents. Test crosses can be performed to determine whether dominant phenotypes are heterozygous or homozygous. Mendel formed his law of segregation from this work. Today we know that many traits are controlled by dominant and recessive alleles of genes. Genes have a specific location called the gene locus. Genotype describes the actual alleles for a gene; phenotype is the physical expression of the genotype.…

    Mendel's Principle Of Segregation Analysis

    They thought Mendel’s hereditary determinants were on a locus. They found out that the physical separation of alleles during anaphase I of meiosis accounts for Mendel’s principle of segregation. If the alleles for different genes are located on different chromosomes, they assort independently from one another in meiosis I. This confirmed the principle of independent assortment. Later on, the two scientists came up with the chromosome theory of inheritance, which states that independent assortment happens in metaphase and anaphase of meiosis I. To test the theory of inheritance, scientist Thomas Hunt Morgan used the fruit fly. At one point, Morgan noticed that a male fruit fly had white eyes rather than the wild type red eyes. He concluded that the white eyes resulted from a mutation. He mated a red-eyed female with a mutant white-eyed male and the results showed that all of the F_1 females had red eyes, but the F_1 males had white eyes. This was very peculiar because Mendel already proved that traits are not sex based. Morgan realized that the X chromosome in males and females explained his results. He determined that eye color is carried on the X chromosome and not on the Y chromosome. This is described as sex-linked inheritance. According to the X-linkage hypothesis, a female has two copies of the eye color gene because they have the two X chromosomes, whereas the male fruit flies have the one X chromosome that codes for eye color. The reciprocal cross of pea plants happened on non-sex chromosomes called autosomes. Genes on non-sex chromosomes show autosomal inheritance. Biologists now know that Boveri’s and Sutton's chromosome theory of inheritance was…

    In my previous experiences and conversations with various individuals, the overall interpretation or misconception of bipolar disease is that the person is “”crazy. What do people really consider or mean by the term crazy? As displayed by Team B’s behavior presentation, Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that is also referred to as maniac-depressive illness, characterized by unusual changes in the persons energy, mood, activity level, and how they are able to follow through with day-to-day activities (Bipolar Disorder, P. 1). The first lesson in differentiating the difference in “crazy” and bipolar is that a person can live a close to normal, if not completely normal life with proper care and treatment.…
