1 Laboratory III Quantitative Genetics Genetics Biology 303 Spring 2007 Dr. Wadsworth Introduction Mendel's experimental approach depended on the fact that he chose phenotypes that varied in simple and discrete patterns. For example his peas were either smooth or wrinkled or the flowers were either white or purple. A single gene with two alleles controlled each trait. This resulted in a simple relationship between genotype and phenotype and generated simple phenotypic ratios in his breeding experiments. These simple ratios allowed him to develop his concepts of the gene, alleles, random segregation and independent assortment. However many phenotypes don't vary in the simple patterns like those Mendel observed in peas. Traits like height, skin color, or the number of ridges on a finger print don't vary in simple patterns or have a limited number of discrete classes. Phenotypes that show these more complex patterns of variation are referred to as quantitative traits. And the study of the inheritance of these traits is referred to as quantitative genetics. Quantitative traits are also called multifactorial traits. This is because they are under the control of multiple genes and are also influenced by the environment. An example of a quantitative trait might be the number of kernels on an ear of corn. Different strains of corn are known to vary in kernel number from just a few kernels to hundreds of kernels. Because the strains differ in their kernel number there must be a genetic component controlling kernel number. In the F2 generation of a cross between a high kernel and a low kernel strain will likely generate a population of corn plants with a wide range of kernel numbers. Much of the variation in the F2 generation is due to the fact that kernel number is controlled by dozens of genes. However some of the variation is due to the influence of the environment. In this laboratory experiment you will investigate a trait that shows quantitative inheritance, the number of hairs on the leaves of the Fast Plant variety of Brassica rapa. There are two varieties of Fast Plants with different numbers of hairs on the leaves; Hir(0-2) is a hairless variety with none or few hairs on each leaf and Hir (5-8) which have as many as 50 hairs on each leaf. The hairy plants were crossed with the hairless plants to generate an F1 and F2 population. Two weeks ago, we planted the parental, F1 and F2 populations. Specific Goals 1. Analyze variation in leaf hair number in the two parental, the F1 and the F2 generations. 2. Prepare descriptive statistics describing variation for each population 3. Estimate the number of genes controlling variation in leaf hair number in these populations. 4. Conduct an artificial selection experiment for the hairy leaf trait using the F2 population of Fast Plants. Descriptive Statistics In Mendel's experiments phenotypes fell into a few distinct classes. Therefore it was possible to express the variation observed in the F1 and F2 generations as simple ratios. However with quantitative traits the variation is more complex and often continuous. Therefore it is impossible to describe it with simple ratios. In this experiment you will collect data on leaf hair number on several populations of Fast Plants. You will calculate two statistics, the mean and the variance, which together describe the distribution of the trait in each population. The mean is a measure of the central tendency of a population. It is simply the arithmetic average of the set of data. The second statistic you will calculate is variance, s 2. Variance is a measure
2 of the range and distribution of values around the mean. Variance is calculated as: s 2 = Number of Polygenes One goal of quantitative genetics is to determine how many genes control a specific trait in a population. This can be quite complex because not all genes have an additive effect and there can be epistatic interactions which obscure the expression of some genes in particular genetic backgrounds. To simplify the analysis for this lab, however, we will assume that all the genes controlling leaf hair have an additive affect. With that assumption we can use the following relationship to estimate polygene number: N = 8(s Heritability Σ X i 2 - nx 2 n - 1 D 2 2 F2 -s 2 F1) where N is the number of genes that affect the trait in these population and D represents the difference between the means of the two parental populations. For quantitative traits the variation in a population can be due to both genetic and environmental effects. Quantitative geneticists are interested in determining the relative importance of genetics and environment in this variation. Heritability is a measure of the genetic contribution to the variation. Heritability is an estimate of how much of the phenotypic variation in a population is due to genetic factors. If heritability is high, then almost all of the variation in a population is due to genetics. If heritability is low then most of the variation is due to environment. For example consider seed production in a pine forest. In almost any forest some of the trees may produce large cones with numerous seeds while other trees may have smaller cones with few seeds. Seed production represents a quantitative trait demonstrating a complex pattern of variation. It is easy to consider a high or low heritability scenario which could account for the variation. In the high heritability scenario genetic differences among the trees would account for most of the variation. The trees with high seed production would have alleles at the polygenes which promote high seed production while the trees with low seed production would have low production alleles. In the low heritability scenario, the trees would be genetically similar for the genes that control seed production. Instead environmental effects would cause the variation. For example trees at the edge of a stream would have plenty of water and light and therefore have high seed production, while seeds on a rocky hill side would have poor nutrients and would be shaded by higher trees and therefore have lower seed production. The variation in seed production would be due to environmental differences among the trees not genetic differences. It is important to know heritability of a trait if you are to predict how the population would respond to selection. For selection to influence a population the variation in the population must be due to genetic differences. Only under those circumstances would the genetic composition of a population change in response to selection. If all the variation in phenotype is due to environmental differences that selection for a particular phenotype will not result in genetic change in the population. Narrow Sense Heritability Two types of indices of heritability can be estimated. Broad-Sense Heritability (H 2 ) is the degree to which phenotypic variation of a population is due to genetic differences. It takes into account all types of genetic interactions including additive, dominance and epistatic. H 2 is a useful index if you are interested in the relative contribution of genetic versus the environment to the phenotypic variation in a population. However, because of the complexity of these interactions, it may not be the most useful index for predicting how a population may respond to selection. Narrow-Sense Heritability (h 2 ) is a measure of the genetic factors that contribute to variation which respond to selection. This is a much more useful index if
3 you are a breeder and are trying to improve a particular trait in a species by selection. If h 2 were low, then the trait would respond very slowly to selection. Alternatively, if h 2 were high then the trait would respond strongly and quickly to selection. Estimating Narrow-Sense Heritability One way to estimate h 2 is to conduct a selection experiment. Phenotypes of a population are measured and the mean phenotypic value is calculated (M o ). Then individuals at the extreme range of a phenotype (top or bottom 10%) are selected. The mean of this sub population (M S ) is calculated. This subpopulation is interbred and phenotypic variation in the progeny is analyzed including the mean (M P ). Narrowsense heritability is estimated as: h 2 = Procedure M P - M o M S - M o Important: Do not destroy or injure any of the plants during the counting. Gene Number 2. Interbreed the selected plants. When flowers emerge begin to cross-pollinate these plants using bee sticks. Repeat crosspollinations using these same individuals for three-four consecutive days. 3. For next three weeks check plants daily to observe pod development and remove any new flowers. 20 days after last pollination remove plants from watering system and allow to dry for five days. 4. Harvest seeds by gently rolling dry seedpods between your hands and collecting seeds over collecting pan. Plant seeds as directed in Fast Plants Lab Handout days after planting count leaf hairs of all the progeny. Determine mean and variance for the progeny of the selection. 6. Estimate narrow sense heritability. Short Report: Quantitative Genetics Results and Analysis of this experiment are due next week. Please include the following for full credit. 1. Count the hairs at the margin of the first true leaf for all of the parental, F1 and F2 plants and record the data on the data sheet. (Hint: groups can share data for this portion of the lab) 1.
