The science of genetics has its beginnings in the observations and experiments of Gregor Mendel. Mendel, a ninteenth century Austrian monk, observed the charactereistics of different strains of the common garden pea. His observations of the peas in his garden led him to hypothsize that living organisms possessed pieces of information that controlled their functions and visible characteristics. These pieces of information, which we now term genes , are passed from generation to generation ensuring the continuity of function and characteristics. The visible apperarace for a given characteristic or trait we call the

Extractions: When rediscovered at the turn of the century, Mendel's laws were found to be applicable to humans, but from the beginning they were fraught with problems. Sex-linked traits and linked genes defied Mendel's rules. Later, other exceptions were found, including sporadic cases, non-penetrance, variable expressivity, and preferential parental transmission. In this book, Harry Ostrer observes that some of these problems can be explained by incomplete ascertainment, typing errors and modifying genes. He then goes on to systematically explore the evidence for a number of newer genetic processes that were not foreseen by Mendel and his intellectual heirs, examining the molecular basis for these processes and their effects on transmission and phenotype. He shows that these non-Mendelian processesgonadal and somatic mosaicism, sex-linked inheritance, mitochondrial transmission, genomic imprinting, accelerated rates of mutation, and viral infectionresolve many of the exceptions to Mendelian inheritance. He also provides a complete review of Mendelian genetics, as well as an overview of the structure and functions of genes, chromosomes, and their products. Thus the book presents a holistic view of human genetics. In the last chapter, Ostrer grapples with the possibilities for identifying new genetic processes, and with genetic determinismthe view that a person's phenotype is fully subject to his or her genetic constitution. He contends that despite the large number of genetic combinations, phenotypes cannot be predicted precisely, even with sufficient computing power. Genetic processes are frequently modified by environmental exposure or they may be random or stochastic in their occurrence. Hence, there are innate limits to genetic determinism. Although prediction of phenotype based on genotype will improve in the future as all of the human genes are identified, such predictions will always remain imprecise.

Extractions: Of The English Language Mendel in his elegant genetic experiments with peas clearly demonstrated the digital nature of inheritance by showing that the so called recessive traits of the first generation, while not overt in the second generation, re-emerged on crossing the second generation as overt traits in the third generation. Standard charts of the Indo-European language family tree shows a Eurocentric bias by showing Greek, Italic, Germanic, Slavic, Celtic, Baltic and even Armenian and Albanian as direct daughter languages of Indo-European, while Sanskrit is a grand-daughter or sub-branch of Indo-Iranian. No plausible explanation is given why Lithuanian, which is spoken in a land farthest from India is closer to Sanskrit than languages spoken in the in between countries. It is painfully obvious that Greek has significant ancestral relationship to German and English and to the Slavic tongues. Latin has major contributions to English, which may be attributed to later Roman and Norman conquests, but the Greek connection has to be via German and thus it is arbitrary to assign Germanic languages a direct descent from Indo-European and equally improbable that the Celtic languages would have the same privileged position. This would imply

Extractions: I like to begin any discussion of genetics with a vocabulary list of terms which are essential to an understanding of the subject. You can refer back to this list any time to refresh your memory. TERMS IN GENETICS gene the unit of heredity. the sequence of DNA coding for a single protein (polypeptide sequence). locus the site on a chromosome occupied by a particular gene. alleles alternate forms of a gene. They will be genes for the same trait (e.g. eye color), but different forms of the gene (e.g. blue, brown or green color). homologous chromosomes chromosomes that carry genes for the same traits. In any individual one of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from the male parent and one from the female parent. homozygous When both genes at a particular locus on homologous chromosomes are identical, the individual is homozygous for the trait. heterozygous both genes at a particular locus on homologous chromosomes are different, i.e. alleles. This is known as the carrier state. dominant a gene which is expressed in the heterozygous condition. By convention, dominant alleles are designated by capital letters.

Extractions: Mendelian Genetics problems Updated: 21 August 2000 Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, revealed through numerous experiments with pea plants that offspring are simply not "blends" of their parents. Rather, he clearly demonstrated that traits tend be passed to offspring in a "particulate" fashion. Indeed, if the blending theory were true, then everyone would eventually look about the same. Who knows; perhaps the most favorable phenotypes would be similar to Rodney Dangerfield and Phyllis Diller. Mendel decided to perform some crosses with his plants to test the blending theory. First, he crossed tall plants (i.e. long stemmed) which had parents and grandparents that had all been tall, with short plants (short stemmed) which had parents and grandparents that had all been short. The plants he crossed were termed the P (parental) generation. He found that the offspring, or F1 (filial) generation, were 100% tall. However, when he crossed these F1 plants together he found that the F2 generation represented a mixture: 3/4 were tall, and 1/4 were short. Whenever he performed such crosses, he always came out with these mathematical ratios. These mathematical ratios are very important because changes in ratios can sometimes be indicators that evolution is occurring. How can this "particulate" nature of heredity be explained? Well, Mendel had a background in mathematics and through years of crossing and eating peas he came up with the following hypothesis: that there must be 2 factors (now called alleles) for each trait (now called genes), and that these factors (alleles) behave as distinct "particles" when passed to the offspring. Some of these traits are dominant (i.e. when present they are expressed), whereas others are recessive and their expression can be "masked" by dominant alleles. Offspring receive one of the factors (an allele) from one parent, and receive the other factor from the other parent.

Extractions: If the brown male had been BB, then all offspring would have been Bb and all brown. However, if the male is Bb as above and you perform a testcross, 50% of all offspring should have the bb genotype and a white phenotype. A testcross to a heterozygous individual should always yield about a 1:1 ratio of the dominant to recessive phenotype . So, both the genotypic and phenotypic ratios here are 50:50. PROBLEM 2. What if you bred some snap dragons and crossed a homozygous red plant (RR) with a homozygous white plant (rr)? In botony, "true breeding" means homozygous. In this case, 100% of the F1 individuals would be pink! This is an example of "incomplete dominance," where both alleles contribute to the outcome. In some cases of incomplete dominance, both alleles might contribute equally so one allele would produce red pigment and the other white; thus, a pink plant appears. In another case, one allele may be non-functional. Although in many cases only a single allele is needed, perhaps in this case only one-half the amount of needed pigment is produced and so pink is due the low amount of red pigment in the petals. Who knows. Anyway, use a Punnett's square and set up a cross between a homozygous red plant and a homozygous white plant. Then, take the resulting offspring and cross these among themselves as well (i.e. F1 x F1). Then, determine the phenotypic and genotypic ratios.

http://akbar.marlboro.edu/~tolman/genetics.htm

Extractions: NS 101D Mendelian genetics is the study of the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. The information for a trait is carried on a piece of DNA called a gene . For many traits, there are two possible variations of the gene, for example, purple flowers or white flowers on pea plants. The different variations are called alleles . There are two alleles for flower color in pea plants, purple and white. Each individual has two alleles for each gene. Those alleles may both be the same (both alleles for white flowers, for example) or different (one allele for white, one for purple). Alleles can be dominant or recessive . The dominant allele hides the recessive allele in individuals which have one copy of each. For example, in a pea plant with one allele for white flowers and one allele for purple flowers, the plant will have all purple flowers. The purple flower allele is dominant and the white flower allele is recessive. In order to have white flowers a pea plant must have two recessive alleles for flower color. To study how alleles are passed from one generation to the next, geneticists perform crosses between individuals with different alleles and observe the traits of the offspring.

Extractions: MENDELIAN GENETICS WORKSHEET II This process results in multiple copies of one chromosome in a gamete. Failure of sister chromatids to separate leads to nondisjunction. In what stage(s) of meiosis does this failure to separate occur? This process occurs when genes for different traits are found on the same chromosomes. A group of genes found together is called a linkage group. In essence, a chromosome is one linkage group. A type of linkage is called sex-linkage because the genes in question are found on the sex chromosomes. and the sex chromosomes. In humans, there are autosomes and sex chromosomes. Human males are and human females are .] What are some human traits found on the sex chromosomes? For the sake of clarity, we use one locus, two-allele models often in genetics. However, some loci have multiple alleles. Recall the ABO blood groups. There are three alleles controlling blood type. However, in any diploid individual only alleles will be found. the loci act non-additively. Pleiotropy is_. What is one example of pleiotropy? What is probability?
