Practice the genetic problems!!! Gamete formation was in the last lab

Practice the genetic problems!!!
Gamete formation was in the last lab… it is important to be able to set up punnett squares.
At first we will assume that genes are inherited independently. In reality, chromosomes
are inherited independently but often genes are on the same chromosome, and are thus linked.

Take notice; gametes were formed for the one contribution from mother and one from the
father. Mother is on the top of the square since eggs are usually met by sperm. Much in the
same way, a line graph has the changing factor on the side, minor detail but important. Gametes
combine during recombination, fertilization, and one gene of each allele is combined. If you are
keeping up from the previous week, this is the establishment of the diploid state, 2n.
Dominant alleles are capital, recessive alleles are lowercase and each letter represents a
gene. You have two copies of every gene, one maternal and one paternal. Dominant expresses
over recessive. Homozygous has both of the same type of allele so homozygous dominant or
homozygous recessive. Heterozygous has one of each copy, but appears as the dominant
phenotype. The phenotype is the expressed trait… in the example, eye color.
So that is the basics. But there are sex linked traits. So there isn’t a whole lot of info on
the y chromosome; sorry guys! Since the sex of an individual will matter for sex linked crosses,
always write X with a superscript of the gene, X+ as an example. There are also lethal alleles,
usually recessive, so if an individual doesn’t have the other allele to compensate, you will never
see them. Draw the punnet square and cross out those individuals that would die in utero.
Incomplete dominance is when the heterozygous individual is a mix between the two extremes,
think red + white = pink. Codominance is when both alleles are expressed together, think about
blood types. Unfortunately blood type is a tricky one. Since O is recessive to both B and A we
write it as i. IB and IA are the ways to write B and A copies. So you know the genotype of O and
AB individuals but A and B individuals may be homozygous or have one i gene.
Please also practice making gametes. You have 2 copies of each gene but only pass off
one to your children, think meiosis! So again AaBBCCDD can possibly be ABCD or aBCD.
Review the examples and read the lab beforehand, it helps immensely and shows. If you have
questions still, come to office hours please. And remember the lab is due next week!
