Chapter 16. Genetics
Mutations
Mutations
Any change in DNA
Point mutation
smallest mutation
Deletion
Piece of DNA is lost
Insertion
Addition of extra DNA
Inversion
Backwards
Put in this way due to repair
Causes of Mutations
Mutagen
causes mutations
Insertion sequences
few thousand base pairs long
cutting insertion sequence
splicing DNA somewhere else
Transposon
Carries genes that code for proteins
Longer than Insertion
Effects of Mutations
Somatic Mutations
Cells that never lead to sex cells
Not passed to offspring
Monohybrid Crosses
Monohybrid Crosses with Incomplete Dominance
Monohybrid cross
Only a single character
Parental generation
Parents
First Filial generation
F
Offspring of crossbreeding
F2
If interbreed
Homozygous
Two identical alleles
Each parent
Heterozygous
The offspring
Two different alleles
Incomplete Dominance
Neither parental trait dominates
Crossing Heterozygotes with Themselves
Selfing
Plant uses own pollen to fertilize eggs
Punnett square
Understand results of a cross
Complete Dominance
Dominant
#
to the recessive
Recessive
to the dominant
Test Crosses
Complete dominance
Difficult to know genotype
unless recessive trait is shown
Test cross
Plant in question
Plant thats homozygous recessive to the trait
Pure bred lines
Selfed
kept pure
Homozygous recessive
Dihybrid Crosses
Genes on Seperate Chromosomes
Independent Assortment
Two genes on seperate chromosome
move independently of other
Crossing Over
Genes on the same Chromosome
Linkage
#
Two genes
Close together on chromosome
do not undergo independent assortment
Dihybrid cross
Two genes are studied
Other Aspects of Inheritance
Maternal Inheritance
Biparental inheritance
Alleles from both parents
transmitted equally
Uniparental inheritance
All plastid and mitochondrion genomes
from maternal parent
zygote obtains
Maternal inheritance
Pollen Parent
Ovule Parent
Variegation
Plastid inheritance
Lethal Alleles
Lethal
Presence can kill the plant
Lethal alleles
Difficult to detect early
Multiple Sets of Chromosomes and Gene Families
Polyploid
All plants with
More than two sets of chromosomes
Nondisjunction
change in chromosome number
Paralogs
duplicates
wild type
gene family
multuple copies
