ACTIVITY: “Human Traits
Genetics”
In this activity, you will
examine your own body for
presence of simple traits and
physical characteristics. After
which, Compare it on the
traits table.

Questions:
1. What are the heritable
features that you have
inherited from your parents?
2. How about your traits?
(Parts of person character).

Introduction to Genetics
GENETICS – branch of biology
that deals with heredity and
variation of organisms.
Responsible for
the Laws
governing
Inheritance of
Traits
copyright cmassengale 9
Gregor Johann Mendel
- Austrian Monk, born in what is now
Czech Republic in 1822
- Son of peasant farmer, studied
Theology and was ordained priest Order
St. Augustine.
- Went to the university of Vienna, where
he studied botany and learned the
Scientific Method
- Worked with pure lines of peas for
eight years
- Lived in a monastery
and taught high school
- Experimented with pea plants by
cross breeding plants with different
characteristics and studying
results.
- Known as the father of Genetics
-Studied the
inheritance of traits
in pea plants

Particulate Inheritance
-Mendel stated that
physical traits are
inherited as “particles”
copyright cmassengale 15
Mendel’s Principles
1. Law of Inheritance
- Characteristics or traits are
inherited by individual units known as
“genes”.
copyright cmassengale 30
Identify each of the following as: Homozygous
Dominant, Homozygous Recessive, Heterozygous,
Allele, Traits, and Characteristics.
1. bb - Homozygous Recessive
2. Color - Traits
3. TT - Homozygous Dominant
4. Gg - Heterozygous
5. Y - Allele
6. Brown eyes - Characteristics
7. Dwarf - Characteristics
8. Feature - Traits
9. Dark - Characteristics
10. Shape - Traits

Types of Genetic Crosses
1. Monohybrid cross - cross
involving a single trait.
e.g. flower color.
2. Dihybrid cross - cross
involving two traits
e.g. flower color & plant
height
copyright cmassengale 33
Monohybrid cross: a genetic cross
involving a single pair of genes
(one trait); parents differ by a
single trait.
P = Parental generation
F1 = First filial generation;
offspring from a genetic cross.
F2 = Second filial generation of a
genetic cross

Genotype & Phenotype in Flowers
Genotype of alleles:
R = red flower
r = yellow flower
All genes occur in pairs, so 2
alleles affect a characteristic
Possible combinations are:
Genotypes RR Rr rr
Phenotypes RED RED YELLOW
copyright cmassengale 37
Genotypes
Homozygous genotype - gene
combination involving 2 dominant
or 2 recessive genes (e.g. RR or
rr); also called pure
Heterozygous genotype - gene
combination of one dominant &
one recessive allele (e.g. Rr);
also called hybrid

Mendel’s Pea Plant
Experiments
copyright cmassengale 40
Why peas, Pisum sativum?
Can be grown in a
small area
Produce lots of
offspring
Produce pure plants
when allowed to
self-pollinate
several generations
Can be artificially
cross-pollinated
copyright cmassengale 41
How Mendel Began
Mendel
produced
pure
strains by
allowing the
plants to
self-
pollinate
for several
generations
copyright cmassengale 44
Eight Pea Plant Traits
Seed shape --- Round (R) or Wrinkled (r)
Seed Color ---- Yellow (Y) or Green (y)
Pod Shape --- Smooth (S) or wrinkled (s)
Pod Color --- Green (G) or Yellow (g)
Seed Coat Color ---Gray (G) or White (g)
Flower position---Axial (A) or Terminal (a)
Plant Height --- Tall (T) or Short (t)
Flower color --- Purple (P) or white (p)

Mendel’s Experimental Results
copyright cmassengale 48
Did the observed ratio match
the theoretical ratio?
The theoretical or expected ratio of
plants producing round or wrinkled seeds
is 3 round :1 wrinkled
Mendel’s observed ratio was 2.96:1
The discrepancy is due to statistical
error
The larger the sample the more nearly
the results approximate to the
theoretical ratio
copyright cmassengale 49
Generation “Gap”
Parental P1 Generation = the parental
generation in a breeding experiment.
F1 generation = the first-generation
offspring in a breeding experiment. (1st
filial generation)
From breeding individuals from the P1
generation
F2 generation = the second-generation
offspring in a breeding experiment.
(2nd filial generation)
From breeding individuals from the F1
generation

Mendel’s Laws
copyright cmassengale 63
Results of Monohybrid Crosses
Inheritable factors or genes are
responsible for all heritable
characteristics
Phenotype is based on Genotype
Each trait is based on two genes,
one from the mother and the
other from the father
True-breeding individuals are
homozygous ( both alleles) are the
same
copyright cmassengale 64
Law of Dominance
In a cross of parents that are
pure for contrasting traits, only
one form of the trait will appear in
the next generation.
All the offspring will be
heterozygous and express only the
dominant trait.
RR x rr yields all Rr (round seeds)
copyright cmassengale 65
Law of Dominance
copyright cmassengale 66
Law of Segregation
During the formation of gametes
(eggs or sperm), the two alleles
responsible for a trait separate
from each other.
Alleles for a trait are then
"recombined" at fertilization,
producing the genotype for the
traits of the offspring.
copyright cmassengale 67
Applying the Law of Segregation
copyright cmassengale 68
Law of Independent
Assortment
Alleles for different traits are
distributed to sex cells (&
offspring) independently of one
another.
This law can be illustrated using
dihybrid crosses.
copyright cmassengale 69
Dihybrid Cross
A breeding experiment that tracks
the inheritance of two traits.
Mendel’s “Law of Independent
Assortment”
a. Each pair of alleles segregates
independently during gamete formation
b. Formula: 2n (n = # of heterozygotes)
