Study Notes
Meiosis and Mendelian Inheritance
- Meiosis: a type of cell division that results in four non-identical daughter cells, each with a unique combination of chromosomes
- Nondisjunction: the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis, leading to abnormal numbers of chromosomes in gametes
Consequences of Nondisjunction
- Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome): caused by nondisjunction or a translocation chromosome
- Klinefelter and Turner Syndromes: result from nondisjunction in sex-determining chromosomes
Modern Transmission Genetics
- Mendel's work: examined patterns in progeny to predict outcomes of other crosses
- Pea plant traits: studied seven contrasting traits, including seed color, shape, and plant height
- Pea plant crossing: involved true-breeding plants and self-fertilization
Mendel's Principles
- The Principle of Segregation: alleles separate during gamete formation, resulting in a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes in offspring
- Punnett square: used to predict outcomes and probabilities of cross-breeding
- Testcrossing: determines the genotype of a parent with a dominant phenotype
Meiosis and Allele Segregation
- Segregation of alleles corresponds to the separation of chromosomes in meiosis I
- Mendel's principle of segregation corresponds to the separation of homologs in anaphase I
