HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

PUNNET SQUARE- is a square diagram that is use to


predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is
named after Reginald C. Punnett who devised the approach. The
diagram is use by biologist to determined the probability of an
offspring having a particular genotype.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

Setting up and using a Punnett square is quite simple


once you understand how it works. You begin by drawing
a grid of perpendicular lines:

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

Next, you put the genotype of one parent across the top and that of the
other parent down the left side. For example, if parent pea plant
genotypes were YY and GG respectively, the setup would be:

Note that only one letter goes in each box for the parents. It does not matter which parent is on the
side or the top of the Punnett square.
Next, all you have to do is fill in the boxes by copying the row and column-head letters across or down
into the empty squares. This gives us the predicted frequency of all of the potential genotypes among
the offspring each time reproduction occurs.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

In this example, 100% of the offspring will likely be heterozygous (YG). Since the Y
(yellow) allele is dominant over the G (green) allele for pea plants, 100% of the YG
offspring will have a yellow phenotype, as Mendel observed in his breeding experiments.

MENDELIAN INHERITANCE NON- MENDELIAN INHERITANCE
Mendelian inheritance is the way in which Non- Mendelian inheritance is the
genes and their corresponding traits are patterns of inheritance which do not
passed from parents to their offspring by follow the Mendelian inheritance

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

1. Incomplete Dominance
In incomplete dominance, a heterozygote shows a phenotype
that is intermediate between the two homozygous
phenotypes. Neither allele is dominant over the other. An
example of incomplete dominance is flower color in four
o’clock plant, like those shown in Figure 1. When a pure red-
flowered four o’clock plant is crossed with a pure white
flowered four o’clock plant, the offspring will produce neither
red nor white flowers. Instead, all flowers will be pink.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

Do you think the alleles blended to make pink?


In incomplete dominance, it is only the phenotype
that is intermediate. The red and white alleles
remain separate and distinct half the gametes of the
pink four o’clock plants carry the allele for red and
half carry the allele for white. Therefore the
genotypic ratio becomes the phenotypic ratio.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

Key Concepts
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate
inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not
completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a
third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a
combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

Key Concepts
In codominance, both alleles are expressed
equally in the phenotype of the
heterozygote. For example, red cows crossed
with white cows will have
offspring that are roan cows. Roan refers to
cows with red hair and white blotches.

PROBLEM ON CODOMINANCE
Mang Marcelino owns purebred red cows. In his farm he noticed that
after a typhoon several months ago, all of the fences that separate his
cattle from his neighbor’s cattle were destroyed. During the time that the
fences were down, three bulls, one from each neighbor, mingled with his
cows. For awhile, he thought that none of the bulls found his cows, but
over the months, he noticed that all of his cows are pregnant. He
suspected that one of the bulls is the father. Which bull is it? Help Mang
Marcelino look for the father by solving the given problem.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS
Q5. Students may give varied answers. Possible answer: Animal
breeders can cross breed
animals in order for them to get the desired traits that will improve
livestock in terms of meat quality and milk production.
Point out that solving problems involving non-Mendelian
inheritance makes you realize that there are no absolutes in real life.
Codominance is the result of two alleles sharing their territory
equally, so no color is dominant they simply share traits representing
their colors. In cows, red and white do not combine to make pink
instead, roan is produced .CODOMINANCE is all about sharing space
and being independent.

The IA and IB alleles are dominant over the i allele, which is always recessive.
However, when the IA and IB alleles are inherited together, both alleles are
expressed
equally. This also makes IA and IB codominant of each other.

Sex Chromosomes and Sex Determination

Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell. Observation of


the human body cells shows 23 pairs of chromosomes for both
males and females. Twenty- two pairs are somatic chromosomes.
The 23rd pair consists of sex chromosomes. Human males and some
other male organisms, such as other mammals and fruit flies, have
non identical sex chromosomes (XY). Females have identical (XX) sex
chromosomes.

HEREDITY: INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS

Sex-influenced traits are also autosomal, meaning that their genes are not
carried on
the sex chromosomes. Again, what makes these traits unusual is the way they
are expressed phenotypically. In this case, the difference is in the ways the
two genders express the genes. One classic example of a sex-influenced trait is
pattern baldness in humans, though the condition is not restricted to males.
This gene has two alleles, “bald” and “non-bald”. The behaviors of the
products of these genes are highly influenced by the hormones in the
individual, particularly by the hormone testosterone. All humans have
testosterone, but males have much higher levels of this hormone than
females do. The result is that, in males, the baldness allele behaves like a
dominant allele, while in females it behaves like a recessive allele.

DNA: The Genetic Material


We’ve talked a lot so far about chromosomes and the inherited trait that genes produce.
But what are genes? How do they work? After the discovery of the Chromosome Theory
of Inheritance, many questions remained unanswered.
 Of what material are genes made?
 How does the genetic material produce the characteristics of an organism?
 How is the genetic code passed from parents to offspring?

Glossary
 Allele – a different form of a gene that controls a certain trait.
 Codominance – two dominant alleles of a contrasting pair fully expressed at the same
time in the heterozygous individual.
 Incomplete dominance - occurs when the phenotype of the offspring is somewhere in
between the phenotypes of both parents; a completely dominant allele does not occur.
 Multiple Alleles – when more than two alleles control the inheritance of a character.
 Sex-influenced traits – are expressed in both sexes but more frequently in one sex
than in the other.
 Sex-limited traits that are expressed exclusively in one sex of the species.
