PART A: COMPLETE DOMINANCE

INTRODUCTION:

You’re back in 1865 and Gregor Mendel is getting ready to publish his results. Being a good scientist, he wants to check that his results are repeatable. You’ve just been hired by Mendel to study the heredity of two traits:

1. seed color: green or yellow

2. seed shape: smooth or wrinkled

yellow, winkled

green,

smooth

OBJECTIVE:

Mendel gives you three plants that produce the following seeds:

He asks you to breed new plants to determine the genotypes of these plants.

PROCEDURE:Click on the plants that you would like to cross.

CONCLUSION:

If we use “Y” for yellow color & “S” for smooth shape. What is the genotype of the plant that produces the yellow, wrinkled seeds?A. YYSS C. YySsB. YYss D. Yyss

CONCLUSION:


Hint: A self-fertilized parent that produces offspring with the identical traits must be homozygous for both traits.

PART B: COMPLETE DOMINANCE (cont.)

INTRODUCTION:

Before giving Mendel your results from Part A, you decide to verify your results by self-fertilizing certain F1 offspring.

OBJECTIVES:

For the following crosses, predict the genotypes and phenotype ratios for the F2 offspring.

PART C: INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

INTRODUCTION:

Mendel is impressed with your intelligence and hard work, so he decides to gives you another project to work on.

Given the following data, explain the results.

Intermediate phenotype and phenotype ratios indicates incomplete dominance.

If we use “L” for long size & “l” for short size. Note: There is insufficient information to determine which allele is more dominant, so long size was arbitrarily chosen as dominant.

PART D: CODOMINANCE

INTRODUCTION:

Mendel’s results were not well received by other scientists. With his extensive experience in growing pea plants, he pursues a career in farming. He decides to selectively breed a new type of corn that produces sweeter, saltier kernels. He starts with one plant that produces sweeter kernels and another plant that produces saltier kernels.

He performs several crosses and successfully produces a plant with sweeter, saltier kernels but discovers that his phenotype ratios are not consistent with his pea plant results. After examining his results, you suspect codominance. However, Mendel is not yet familiar with this concept.

OBJECTIVE:

Assuming that Mendel started with purebreds, design an experiment that illustrates this concept to Mendel. Include a hypothesis.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENT

PROCEDURE:

1. Cross-fertilize parents with each other

2. Cross-fertilize F1 with each parent to verify parents are purebreds

3. Self-fertilize F1 offspring and compare ratios

4. Repeat

EXPECTED RESULTS:

Using: A = sweet, a = not sweetB = salty, b = not salty

If parent plants are purebreds, then:

Positive results for codominance:

F1: all sweet, salty (AB)

F2: 1 sweet, not salty (AA)2 sweet, salty (AB)1 not sweet, salty (BB)

Negative results for codominance:i.e. positive results for separate 2 traits

F1: all sweet, salty (AaBb)

F2: 9 sweet, salty(1 AABB, 2 AABb, 2 AaBB, 4 AaBb)

3 sweet, not salty (1 AAbb, 2 Aabb)3 not sweet, salty (1 aaBB, 2 aaBb)1 not sweet, not salty (aabb)
