Patterns of Inheritance
I: Mendel's laws
Two factors called genes control each trait
For each gene, organisms receive one allele (form) from each parent randomly.
If an organism receives different alleles for the same trait, one allele is dominant over the other
II: Test crosses
Monohybrid cross Breeding individuals to
observe the inheritance of one trait
Ex: Mendel’s round vs wrinkled peas
Expected phenotypic ratio
3 dominant: 1 recessive
Test Crosses Continued…
Dihybrid cross Breeding individuals to
observe the inheritance of two separate traits
Ex: Mendel’s cross for shape and color
Expected phenotypic ratio: 9 dom dom: 3 dom rec: 3
rec dom: 1 rec rec
Practice time
Assume the following: A = round head a = square head B = belly button b = no button
If two parents are heterozygous for belly buttons what are the odds/percentages that their child will not have a belly button?
¼ or 25%
If parent #1 is homozygous dominant for both traits and parent #2 is homozygous recessive for both traits what are the odds/percentages their child will have a round head but no belly button?
0/16 or 0%
III: Complex inheritance
Incomplete Dominance: Blending of traits Heterozygotes, and homozygotes have
different phenotypes
Continued…
Co-dominance: Heterozygotes express both dominant
phenotypes
Continued…
Sex determination 23rd chromosome=X or Y XX=female XY=male
Sex linked traits: Genes for the traits
located on the sex chromosome
Ex: fruit fly eye color XR= Red Xr= white
Human color blindness
Continued…
Polygenic: Poly=many gen=genes Multiple genes are
responsible for the expression of the trait
