Quiz Mendelian Genetics and Extensions of Mendelian Genetics
Ratio for Identical Twins
1 in 285 pregnancies
Ratio of fraternal twins
1 in 80 pregnancies
What happens with fraternal twins
2 separate eggs fuse with different sperm
Zygote has two complete copies of the manual
23 page copy from mom and 23 page copy from dad, 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes
46 chromosomes=
46 page instruction manual- each chromosome is a different page of the manual
bb(Bb) Bb Bb bb bb
50% brown eyes 50% blue eyes 50% heterozygous 50% Homozygous recessive
Mutations can lead to different versions of the same gene
Alleles
Homozygous
Carries two copies of the same allele(RR, rr)
Heterozygous
Carries two different alleles for a gene(Rr)
What happens with monozygotic twins
Cells in an embryo separate from each other, happens early in development
zygote= and how many chromosomes
Diploid, 46
Another name for Fraternal Twins
Dizygotic twins, develop from two different zygotes
Homologous Pairs
Equivalent chromosomes, pairs contain one chromosome received from each parent
Pedigrees
Family tree that follows the inheritance of a genetic trait for many generations of relatives. Used to study human genetics Matings that have already occurred are analyzed Can be used to determine if a trait is dominant, recessive or sex-linked
Dihybrid cross step 3
Fill in the chart! Determine phenotypes
Genotype
Genetic composition of an individual, describes alleles Letters
Gg
Genotype
Homozygous Dominant
Genotype
Egg and sperm cells are and contain how many chromosomes
Haploid, 23 chromosomes
Rr
Heterozygous
Monohybrid Cross
Heterozygous parent+ Homozygous recessive parent BB+bb
Independent Assortment
Homologous move into gametes, randomly and independently of other chromosomes. Random alignment during Metaphase I
RR
Homozygous dominant
rr
Homozygous recessive
Dihybrid cross step 1
Identify the genotypes of the parents Heterozygous for both traits? Heterozygous for one and homozygous recessive for another?
Dihybrid cross step 2
Identify the possible see cells(haploids) for the parents
Segregation
In meiosis, homologous serpente from each other into different gametes.
Another name for Identical Twins
Monozygotic twins, develop from one zygote
Quantitive trait
Multiple genes play a role in the physical trait Can be caused by genetic and environmental variables Not just an on and off quality EX. Skin color, eye color
Fraternal Twins are
Non- identical
Y-Linked Inheritance
Only males are affected, since it is passed on the Y chromosome
Brown Hair?
Phenotype
Eye Color is an example of a
Phenotype
Freckles
Phenotype
Dominant
Phenotype is seen when homozygous or heterozygous
Recessive
Phenotype of an allele is seen only when homozygous
Quantitative trait
Phenotype/physical trait On or off quality, controlled by 1 gene not measured by a number
Phenotype
Physical traits of an individual Photo-what you see
Identical Twins share what percentage
Share 100% of their genes
How do fraternal twins develop
Simultaneously
Autosomal Recessive traits
Trait appears on an autosomal chromosome, recessive Postive individual is homozygous recessive
X- Linked Dominant
Trait occur on the X- chromosome, dominant Postive males carries the trait on his X chromosome
Egg+ Sperm=
Zygote
Errors can occur every time the
cell divides
Each page has many words just like
chromosomes contain many genes
Words can be used in various orders just like
genes can
All genetic material is like an
instruction manual
When we replicate DNA, we are not photocopying this instruction manual, we are
rewriting it
Gametes gets just one copy of each page of
the manual
Autosomal Dominant
trait appears on an autosomal chromosome, dominant Postive individual is either homozygous dominant or heterozygous
