BIOL 310 1st Edition Lecture 3 Outline of Previous Lecture- MendelismI. Mendel’s ExplanationsII. The Law of SegregationIII. Mendel’s Next QuestionsIV. Mendel’s Conclusions A. the Law of Independent AssortmentB. The Central DogmasOutline of Current Lecture:I. A re-examination of Mendel’s Observations and ConclusionsII. Alternative method for Dihybrid CrossesIII. Mixed CrossesIV. 4 trait mixed crossi. A re-examination of Mendel’s Observations and ConclusionsWhat type of gametes do Rr Yy Individuals make? And in what ratios?- Traditionally, to answer this question you would make a HUGE punnent square that looksa little like this… RY Ry rY ryRY RRYY RRYy RrYY RrYyRy RRYy RRyy RryY RryyrY rRYY rRYy rrYY rrYyry rRyY rRyy rryY rryyo NOTE: the mothers alleles are written first in the boxes, this does not matter for small crosses but some characteristics are genetically imprinted to a mom or dads alleleThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Now, while this method DOES work, it is not the most efficient way. Dr. E said that finishing the exam is virtually impossible using this method and can get quite lengthy when give 3+ traits: 4^3 =64 so a cross with 3 traits will have 64 squares.ii. Alternative Method for Dihybrid crosses- Here are some important short hand that Dr. E will be using during his lectures and on tests…o RR and Rr have the same phenotype and are denoted as R_o rr has a distinct phenotype and is denoted as such rr.- Cannot be r_ because the dash indicates that any allele will work here which is not the case. If you substitute R for _ it will change the phenotype to a dominant phenotype.- These short hands may be used for any alleles, Y, T, Z, X, S, etc.- To tackle the cross:o Work with one allele cross at a time. Try this one…. Rr Yy Tt × Rr Yy Tt - Rr=round/wrinkled Yy=yellow/green Tt=tall/short (this could be self pollination or simply a trihybrid cross.)R_ = 3/4 Y_ = 3/4T_ = 3/4rr= 1/4 yy = 1/4 tt = 1/4- What proportion of these are Round, Yellow, and Tall?o R_= 3/4o Y_ = 3/4o T_ = 3/4o Round, Yellow and Tall = 27/64 because 3×3×3 = 27 and 4×4×4= 64- What about Round, Green, and Short?o R_ = 3/4o yy = 1/4o tt = 1/4o Round, green and short = 3/64 because 3×1×1 = 3R rR RR Rrr rR rrY yY YY Yyy yY yyT tT TT Ttt tT ttiii. Mixed Crosses- Now what happens when you take a mixed cross? it is the same steps just with different ratios!- Try Rr Yy Tt × rr Yy Tt **because dad can ONLY make rr in the first box you can either do a 4 box square or reduce it to 2R_ = 1/2Y_ = 3/4T_ = 3/4rr = 1/2 yy = 1/4 tt = 1/4- So, What proportion are heterozygous (het) in the R, Y, and T boxes?o Rr = 1/2o Yy = 1/2o Tt = 1/2o So, heterozygous = 1/8 - What propotion are homozygous for all traits?o rr & RR = 1/2o YY & yy = 1/2o TT & tt = 1/2o So, homozygous = 1/8 remember, you can have 2 kinds of homozygous, homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive where as you can only have 1 kind of heterozygousiv. 4 Trait Mixed Cross- Lets try Rr Yy Tt Ss PP × Rr yy Tt SS pp- **In Genetics, we assume that 50% of the offspring will be male and50% will be female.**Y yY YY Yyy yY yyT tT TT Ttt tT ttrR Rrr rrR r R RR Rrr rR rryY Yyy yyS S SSs sSRr = round/ wrinkledYy= yellow/ greenTt= tall/ shortSs= smooth/ indentedPp=purple/ yellowWith this in mind….. - What Proportion will be….o Round, Green, Tall, Indented, Purple 3/4 × 1/2 × 3/4 × 0 × 1 = 0 because there will be no indented peas, even though there are indented alleles, indented is recessive to smooth; same with purple and yellow, there will only be purple plants so you have 1 representing all offspring or 4/4o Female, Round, Green, Tall, Indented, Purple1/2 × 3/4 × 1/2 × 3/4 × 0 × 1 = 0o Proportion of female progeny that are Round, Green, Tall, Indented, Purple This one doesn’t even have to be worked because all of the offspring are considered the female progeny and the ratios were worked above in #1o Dominant phenotype at all loci: R_ =3/4 Y_ = 1/2 T_ = 3/4 S_ = 1 P_ = 1 so, 9/32 offspring are dominant phenotype at all loci because..- 3/4 × 1/2 × 3/4 × 1 × 1=9/32o Heterozygous at each locus: Rr = 1/2 Yy= 1/2T t T TT Ttt tT ttpP Pp Tt= 1/2 Ss= 1/2 Pp =1 So, 1/16 is heterozygous at each locuso Revessive phenotype at all loci: 0 because there is no recessive phenotypes in the purple P box therefore there cannot be a recessive at all
