Genetics: The Science of Heredity

Heredity: The passing of physical
characteristics from parents to offspring
![Page 3: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
•Every organism is a collection of traits
all inherited from its parents.
What have you inherited?
Eye color, hair color, nose shape, and
many other physical features are types
of traits that you inherit
from your parents.
![Page 4: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Traits are controlled by genes
• Genes are made up of DNA.
• Genes are located on the chromosomes.
• Our genes determine our traits (hair color, eye color, etc.)

Our genes come from our parents
![Page 6: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Alleles: Different forms of a gene
• Alleles are different forms of genes.
• We inherit two alleles for each trait (example hair color)
• One allele comes from our mother and the other from our father
![Page 8: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Alleles control traits
• Some alleles are dominant, while others are recessive.
• A dominant allele is one whose trait always shows up in the organism when it is present.
• A recessive allele is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present.
![Page 9: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dominant traits control recessive traits
• In this diagram the trait for black fur dominates the trait for white fur.
• Even though one of the parents has white fur none of the offspring will have white fur.
![Page 10: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dominant and Recessive Alleles Continued.
• Dominant traits are represented by a CAPITAL letter.
• Example from diagram: the CAPITAL letter B represents the dominant trait for black fur.
• Recessive traits are represented by a lower case letter.
• Example from diagram: the lower case letter b represents the recessive trait for white fur.
![Page 11: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TWO Alleles for each trait
• In the diagram each animals alleles are represented by TWO letters.
• One of the letters came from that animals mother and one from its father.
• Notice how the offspring are a COMBINATION of the parents alleles.
• The parents are BB for the black fur and bb for the white, but the offspring are Bb a combination of the parents alleles.
![Page 12: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Genotype
• Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism or allele combinations
• Example from diagram The genotype of the animal with black fur is BB and the one with white fur is bb.
• Genotype is represented by either a capital or lowercase letter.
![Page 13: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Phenotype
• Phenotype is your physical appearance or visible traits.
• Example from diagram. Black fur and white fur are the phenotypes of the animals.
• The offspring in this example have a genotype of _____ and a phenotype of ______ for their fur color.
![Page 14: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Homozygous and Heterozygous
• Homozygous: Two alleles for a trait that are exactly the same.
• - Genotype: BB or bb• Also called PUREBRED• The parents in this example
are homozygous purebreds.• Heterozygous: Two different
alleles for a trait.• - Genotype: Bb• - Also called HYBRIDS• The offspring in this example
are Heterozygous Hybrids.

Punnett Squares
• A punnett square is a tool to predict results in Mendelian genetics.
![Page 16: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step one: Punnett Squares
• Step one: Add the Genotypes of each parent on the top and left side of the punnett square.
![Page 17: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step Two: Punnett Squares
• Step two: Copy the genotype letters of the parent on the top down into the boxes below each letter
![Page 18: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step Three: Punnett Squares
• Step Three: Copy the genotype letters of the parent on the left side into the boxes next to the letters.
![Page 19: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Punnett Square Practice
• Show a cross between a Heterozygous (Bb) animal with a homozygous purebred (bb).
• B = Black Fur• b = White Fur• What are the genotypes
of the offspring? • What are the phenotypes
of the offspring.
![Page 20: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Punnett Squares Predict Probability
• In a genetic cross, the allele that each parent will pass on to its offspring is based on probability.
• You can determine what percentage chance you have of passing on certain alleles.
• Since there are four squares each square represents 25% (4 x 25 = 100)
![Page 21: Genetics: The Science of Heredity](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815acd550346895dc89f95/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Probability Example
• What percentage of the offspring are Heterozygous?
• What percentage of the offspring are homozygous?
• What would the ratio of the offspring be?
• 2:2 or 1:1
