Early Ideas of Heredity
• Species maintained without significant change since time of creation (immutable)
• Traits are transmitted directly and independently. (Blended)
– Paradox - all members of same species should eventually have the same appearance
• Hybrids differ in appearance!
![Page 4: Chapter 14 Mendel and The Gene Idea. Genetics developed from curiosity about inheritance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebf5503460f94bc9ee5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Early Ideas of Heredity
• Early geneticists demonstrated some forms of an inherited character can:– disappear in one generation and reappear,
unchanged, in future generations.– segregate among offspring of a cross.– be more likely to be represented than
alternative forms.

Josef Koelreuter - 1760
• Beginnings of modern genetics
• Crossed different strains of tobacco
• Traits masked in one generation to reappear in next.
• Contradicted theory of direct transmission

T. A. Knight - 1760
• Bred peas to further substantiate Koelreuter’s work.
• Like Koelreuter, failed to keep data of results!

A mendelian trait is one that segregates in accordance with the laws of genetics set forth by Gregor Mendel. As such, it is controlled by a singlesingle gene locus.

Mendel’s Four HypothesesMendel’s Four Hypotheses(Using modern terms)(Using modern terms)
1. There are alternative forms of genes called allelesalleles.
2. An organism has two alleles for the gene, one from each parent.
3. The allele that affects a trait is called the dominantdominant allele. The other allele that does not appear to affect the trait is called the recessiverecessive allele.
4. The two alleles for a character segregate (separate) during the formation of gametes (sex cells), so that each gamete carries only one allele for each character.

Sickle-Cell Disease
• 1 in 400 African-Americans• Defective hemoglobin (single aa substitution)
– Homozygotes have sickle-cell. (Example of pleiotropy)
– Heterozygotes: sickle cell trait; appear normal, but are resistant to malaria.

Genetic Counseling
• Identifies parents at risk of producing children with genetic defects.
– couples with recessive alleles– mothers older than 35
• Based on Mendelian Genetics and Probability Rules
![Page 78: Chapter 14 Mendel and The Gene Idea. Genetics developed from curiosity about inheritance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebf5503460f94bc9ee5/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Genetic Testing
• Assesses the state of early embryos.– ultrasound– amniocentesis– chorionic villi sampling
• Genomic analysis– Couples with recessive alleles– Huntington’s– BRCA1 & BRCA2 gene identification
![Page 79: Chapter 14 Mendel and The Gene Idea. Genetics developed from curiosity about inheritance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649ebf5503460f94bc9ee5/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Genetic Counseling
• Counselors can look for three things in cell cultures in search of genetic disorders:
– aneuploidy or gross alterations– proper enzyme functioning– association with known genetic markers
