1 Outline for today s lecture (Ch. 14, Part I) Ploidy vs. DNA content The basis of heredity ca. 1850s Mendel s Experiments and Theory Law of Segregation Law of Independent Assortment Introduction to Probability

2 Reminder: Homologous chromosomes -Pair at meiosis (all pairs) -Same sequence (except sex chromosomes)

3 Ploidy vs. DNA content in Meiosis C (DNA per chromosome) Diploid Haploid G1 S G2 Meiosis I Meiosis II Diploid: Contains two chromosomes from a homologous pair one from each parent Haploid: Contains only one chromosome from a homologous pair

4 The Nature of Heredity, ca Observation: Offspring generally intermediate in phenotype ( trait value ) between those of parents Obvious example: Human children with one African and one Nothern European parent Proposed explanation: Blending Inheritance Genetic material miscible, like paint: Black + White = Gray Tall + Short = Medium Etc.

5 Blending Inheritance: A logical difficulty Variation reduced every generation Ultimate consequence is a homogeneous population At odds with reality How to explain variation? Sports (Mutation in modern parlance)

6 Gregor Mendel: The Origin of Genetics Austrian farm boy, entered Augustinian monastary in 1843 Attended University of Vienna in early 1850s Learned two things about science Do experiments Analyze your data (i.e., mathematically) ~1857, began an experimental program to investigate the basis of inheritance (i.e., heredity) with peas

7 Mendel s Experiments Peas were a fortuitous study organism for several reasons: Many variable characters (e.g., flower color, seed shape, seed color, etc.) Many varieties that bred true for particular traits (e.g., purple flowers, round seeds, etc.) Easy to do controlled crosses, both self and outcross

8 Mendel s Experiments Choice of characters Used only discrete characters, i.e., either-or, not continuous frequency frequency Black Color White Height

9 Mendel s Experiments Breeding design 1. Start with lines that breed true for different traits, e.g., purple and white flowers P Self Self 2. First generation of a cross is called P ( parental ) F1 3. Offspring are F1 ( filial ) Self Self 4. Grand-offspring are F2 F2

10 Mendel s Experiments Breeding design 1. Cross two true-breeding lines (purple, white) P X 2. Self F1s F1 3. Observe phenotypes of MANY F2 offspring and COUNT THEM F2 Self

11 Mendel s Experiments Results 1. Cross two true-breeding lines (purple, white) P X 2. F1s ALL PURPLE What do we expect if blending inheritance? F1

12 Mendel s Experiments Breeding design 1. Cross two true-breeding lines (purple, white) P X 2. F1s ALL PURPLE 3. Self F1s 4. F2s are NOT all purple 705 purple 224 white i.e., ~ 3:1 purple : white F1 F2 Self

13 Mendel s Experiments Conclusions 1. Heritable Factor (i.e., gene) for white flowers did not disappear in the F1, but only the purple factor affected flower color. P F1 X "Particulate" inheritance Self 1. Purple is dominant and white is recessive F2

14 Mendel s Experiments Important Points 1. Followed the pattern of inheritance for multiple generations (i.e., > 1) P X What if the experiment terminated after F1? 2. Quantitative Analysis Many 19 th century botanists would have said some white flowers reappeared in F2 3. Mendel was lucky! F1 F2 Self

15 Mendel s Experiments in modern genetic terms 1. Alternative versions of genes account for variation in inherited characters Alternative versions of genes are alleles Alleles reside at the SAME genetic locus 2. Relationship between alleles, chromosomes, and DNA DNA at a locus varies in sequence Sequence variants cause different phenotypes (e.g., purple and white flowers)

16 Mendel s Experiments in modern genetic terms Diploid individuals have homologous pairs of chromosomes, one from each parent Flower-color locus An individual inherits one allele from each parent Alleles may be same or different If different, the dominant allele determines the organism s phenotype Purple allele White allele

17 Mendel s Experiments in modern genetic terms The two alleles at a locus segregate during gamete production Each gamete gets only one of the two alleles present in somatic cells Segregation corresponds to the different gametes in meiosis (I or II?)

18 Recall Meiosis I Metaphase I What about crossing-over?

19 Mendel s Law of Segregation If an individual has identical alleles at a locus (i.e., is true-breeding), that allele is present in all its gametes If an individual has two different alleles at a locus, half its gametes receive one allele, half receive the other allele All half half

20 Genetic Terminology If a diploid individual has two copies of the SAME ALLELE at a locus (i.e., it got the same allele from mom and dad), it is a HOMOZYGOTE If it has two different ALLELES at a locus (got a different allele from mom than from dad) it is a HETEROZYGOTE The genetic makeup at a locus (or loci) is the individual s GENOTYPE An organism's Traits comprise its PHENOTYPE

21 Mendel s Law of segregation: a test Genotype: PP x pp Gametes: P p P X Genotype: Pp Gametes: 1/2 P, 1/2 p F1 Self Genotype: 1/4 PP, 1/2 Pp, 1/4 pp F2 Phenotype: 3 purple, 1 white

22 Mendel s Law of segregation: a test F1 Phenotype: X Genotype: Pp Pp Ova (female gametes) Sperm (male gametes) 1/2 P, 1/2 p 1/2 P, 1/2 p Half of male gametes will be P. Of those, half will unite with an ovum that is P. Thus, the frequency of PP in the F2 is: (1/2)(1/2 ) = 1/4 Frequency of pp = (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4, Frequency of Pp = 2(1/2)(1/2) = 1/2

23 The Punnett Square Male Parent Gamete genotypes of one parent given as columns Female Parent Pp Pp Sperm genotype P p Gamete genotypes of other parent given as rows Offspring genotypes given as cells in the table Egg genotype P p PP pp Pp pp Each cell has equal frequency (here = 1/4)

24 The Punnett Square Male Parent Note that in this cross there are TWO ways to get a heterozygote Female Parent Pp Pp Sperm genotype P p P from mom, p from Dad p from mom, P from Dad Frequency of heterozygotes = 1/4 Pp + 1/4 pp = 1/2 Egg genotype P p PP pp Pp pp

25 The Testcross Male Parent Individuals homozygous for a dominant allele have the same phenotype as heterozygotes To determine the genotype of an individual, cross it to a known homozygous recessive Female Parent Egg genotype P- pp P? Sperm genotype p p What is the phenotypic ratio among these offspring? What is the genotype of the unknown individual?

26 The Law of Independent Assortment or Why Mendel was so Lucky Mendel's next step was to cross plants that bred true for each of TWO traits, e.g... seed shape (Round or wrinkled, Round dominant; R/r) seed color (Yellow or green, yellow dominant; Y/y) Parental cross: RRYY x rryy P X F1 are Round, Yellow (RrYy) F1 Self F1s...

27 The "Dihybrid Cross" - Dependent Assortment Hypothesis: Loci ("Traits" to Mendel) assort together ("dependently") If a gamete has an R allele, it also has a Y allele (recall P generation was RRYY, rryy) If a gamete has an r allele it also has a y allele Female F1 parent = RrYy RY ry Male F1 parent = RrYy RY ry What are the expected frequencies of F2 phenotypes?

28 The "Dihybrid Cross" - Dependent Assortment Hypothesis: Loci assort together ("dependently") Male F1 parent = RrYy If a gamete has an R allele, it also has a Y allele (recall parents were RRYY, rryy) If a gamete has an r allele it also has a y allele What are the expected frequencies of F2 phenotypes? Female F1 parent = RrYy RY ry RY RRYY rryy ry RrYy rryy

29 The "Dihybrid Cross" - Dependent Assortment Predict 3/4 round, yellow, 1/4 wrinkled, green Male F1 parent = RrYy NOT WHAT MENDEL OBSERVED! Female F1 parent = RrYy RY ry RY RRYY rryy ry RrYy rryy

30 The "Dihybrid Cross" - Independent Assortment Four combinations of alleles in gametes Male F1 parent = RrYy RY Ry ry ry All are equally likely Expect traits in 9:3:3:1 ratio THIS IS WHAT MENDEL OBSERVED Female F1 parent = RrYy RY Ry ry ry RRYY RRYy RrYY RrYy RRYy RRyy RrYy Rryy RrYY RrYy rryy rryy RrYY Rryy rryy rryy

31 Mendel's Laws 1. The Law of Segregation - ONE LOCUS If the locus is heterozygous, half the gametes get one allele, half the gametes get the other allele 2. The Law of Independent Assortment - MULTIPLE LOCI Alleles at each locus segregate independently of alleles at other loci (When is this not true? or Why was Mendel so lucky?)

32 Introduction to Probability Theory Independent Events - if the outcome of one event does not depend on the outcome of some other event e.g., rolls of a die, flips of a coin, segregation of loci on different chromosomes The probability of BOTH of two events happening is the product of the probability of each event happening independently. Formally, Pr(A and B) = Pr(A) x Pr(B) e.g., Pr(two heads on two flips) = Pr(1st flip heads) x Pr(2nd flip heads)

33 Introduction to Probability Theory Probability of EITHER of two events happening is the sum of the probability of each event happening independently Formally, Pr(A or B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) e.g., Pr(one head on two flips) = Pr(head,tail or tail,head) Pr(1st flip tails)*pr(2nd flip heads) = (1/2)(1/2) =1/4 Pr(1st flip heads)*pr(2nd flip tails) = 1/4 1/4 + 1/4 = ½ Pr(1-locus heterozygote) = Pr(Aa) + Pr(aA) = ¼ + ¼ = ½
