Mystery of evolution - why some people like Brussels sprouts but others hate them.

Substances similar to PTC give a bitter taste to green vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cabbage
They have found that a gene in modern humans that makes some people dislike a bitter chemical called phenylthiocarbamide, or PTC,
But they are also present in some poisonous plants, so having a dislike for it makes evolutionary sense."The sense of bitter taste protects us from ingesting toxic substances," the report said.
a recessive variant of the TAS2R38 gene which made some of them unable to taste PTC - an inability they share with around one third of modern humans.
"This feature ... is a mystery of evolution," said the report."These (bitter) compounds can be toxic if ingested in large quantities and it is therefore difficult to understand the evolutionary existence of individuals who cannot detect them."

1. Complete Dominance
![Page 12: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dominant/Recessive
• One allele is dominant over the other (capable of masking the recessive allele)
PP = purple pp = white Pp = purple
![Page 13: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

3. Codominance
![Page 17: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Codominance
• The heterozygous condition, both alleles are expressed equally
• Sickle Cell Anemia in Humans
CN CN = normal cells
CS CS = sickle cells
CNCS = some of each
![Page 19: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Problem: Codominance• Show the cross between an individual with
sickle-cell anemia and another who is a carrier but not sick.

4. Incomplete Dominance
![Page 21: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Incomplete Dominance
![Page 22: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Incomplete Dominance• A third (new) phenotype appears in the
heterozygous condition.
RR = red rr = white Rr = pink

So is PTC taster gene Incomplete Dominance?
![Page 26: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Since all people have two copies of every gene, combinations of the bitter taste gene variants determine whether someone finds PTC intensely bitter, somewhat bitter, or without taste at all.
![Page 27: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• To people who are tasters, the paper tastes very bitter, but to non-tasters, it just tastes like paper
![Page 28: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• More precise analysis of the phenotype indicated that the "taster" gene is incompletely dominant to the "nontaster" gene, so that people with two copies of the taster gene have a lower threshold of sensitivity to PTC than people with only one copy.
![Page 29: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• When there is a T allele present, this usually predicts the ability of PTC tasting
• The heterozygotes tend to be weak tasters compared to the homozygous dominant genotype.
![Page 30: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• other studies have indicated that another gene may determine taste sensitivity.
• The frequency of PTC taster and non-taster allele vary in different human populations
![Page 31: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

5. Multiple Alleles
• There are more than two alleles for a trait
• Blood type in humans
• Blood Types?– Type A, Type B, Type AB, Type O
• Blood Alleles?– A, B, O (in book – IA, IB, I)
![Page 37: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rules for Blood Type
• A and B are codominant– AA = Type A– BB = Type B– AB = Type AB
• A and B are dominant over O– AO = type A– BO = type B– OO = type O
![Page 38: Ptc gene background information](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052620/557974b5d8b42a3a5c8b540b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
