TREE

OBJECTIVE:

Find the most and least common combination of three traits in our class!

PTC paper: In 1931, a chemist named Arthur Fox was pouring some powdered PTC into a bottle. When some of the powder accidentally blew into the air, a colleague standing nearby complained that the dust tasted bitter. Fox tasted nothing at all.

▪ Although PTC is not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other bitter substances that do occur naturally, many of which are toxins.

▪ Plants produce a variety of toxic compounds in order to protect themselves from being eaten. The ability to discern bitter tastes evolved as a mechanism to prevent early humans from eating poisonous plants. Humans have about 30 genes that code for bitter taste receptors. Each receptor can interact with several compounds, allowing people to taste a wide variety of bitter substances.

GREGOR MENDEL

Gregor Mendel as a Austrian monk who was born in 1822. He spent a great deal of time in the monastery garden where he was able to carry out experiments into inheritance. He chose to work with peas, which are small and easy to grow, and produce large number of offspring.

▪ Peas are a “model system.”

▪ •Started with “true breeding” plants

▪ •Trait: specific characteristic (e.g., seed color, plant height) of an individual

▪ •Hybrid: created from cross of true-breeding individuals

Mendel’s different groups of true-breeding plants would produce the same set of traits in each generation.

To figure out how traits were inherited from one generation to the next, Mendel crossed individuals from his true-breeding strains to produce hybrids.

▪ Mendel did not have our modern understanding of genes and alleles, he did understand that male parts of a flower produce male sex cells (sperm) and that female parts of a flower produce female sex cells (eggs), and that these cells join in the process fertilization.

▪ While offspring are produced from only one parent, each offspring forms from the fusion of male and female cells.

▪ Mendel removed reproductive structuresfrom pea flowers so that only one set remained.

▪ Mendel was looking at seven characteristics in pea plants. His goal was to look for patterns in the traits across generations.

PRINCIPLE OF DOMINANCE

▪ Some alleles are dominant, some recessive.

▪ An organism with at least one dominant allele will exhibit that trait.

▪ An organism with a recessive allele will exhibit the trait only in the absence of a dominant allele.

The most common form of trisomy,

involving three copies of chromosome

21, is Down syndrome.

- if two copies of an autosomal

chromosome fail to separate during

meiosis, an individual may be born with

three copies of that chromosome

FROM MOLECULE TO PHENOTYPE

Changes in the DNA sequence of a gene can change proteins:

▪ Altering amino acid sequences

▪ Affecting the phenotype

68

How do small changes in DNA molecules affect human traits?

One disorder caused by individual genes is sickle cell disease. sickle-shaped cells are more rigid than

normal red blood cells, and therefore they tend to get stuck in the capillaries

GENETIC ADVANTAGESWhy are these alleles still around if they can be fatal for those who

carry them?

▪ Some alleles that cause disease may also have benefits.▪ Carrying one copy of the sickle cell provides

protection from malaria.▪ Carrying one copy of the Cystic Fibrosis allele provides

protection from typhoid bacterium
