Study Notes
Genotype and Phenotype
- Genotype predicts phenotype in offspring (pp x pp = pp offspring)
- Homozygous recessive offspring have a homozygous recessive genotype.
Mendel's Discoveries
- Discovered the principle of dominance
- Discovered the principle of segregation
- Discovered the principle of independent assortment
- Birds and mammals have different sex chromosomes (false)
- Animal genotypes can be manipulated by breeding (true)
Karyotype and Chromosome Number
- A complete set of chromosomes is a karyotype.
- All body cells (except gametes) have a diploid chromosome number.
- Down syndrome (trisomy 21) results from homologous chromosomes failing to separate during meiosis.
- Genotypes of parents can predict offspring phenotypes.
Predicting Offspring Genotypes
- Offspring genotypes can be predicted by crossing heterozygous parents (Yy x Yy = YY, Yy, yY, yy)
Codominance Example
- Heterozygous chickens with black and white speckled feathers exemplify codominance.
Phenotype Factors
- Many factors (genes, environment) influence phenotype (true).
Gametogenesis
- Gametogenesis is the term for the production of sex cells (true).
Genetic Disorders
- Only changes in chromosome structure can cause genetic disorders (false).
- Embryos have a haploid number of chromosomes (false).
Mutations and Survival
- Mutations can make organisms less likely to survive (harmful).
Chromosomal Characteristics
- Cells contain half the chromosome number (1N) in gametes (e.g., spermatozoa).
- Genotype is the actual genetic makeup and phenotype is physical appearance.
- Examples of phenotypes: eye color, hair color, height, tail length.
- Examples of genotypes: genes responsible for hair, height, diseases.
- Genome is called diploid, total number of chromosomes is called diploid number.
- Karyotype provides information about chromosome number, sex, and structural abnormalities.
- Autosomes control somatic characters, sex chromosomes control sexual characters.
- Phenotype is a result of genotype and environment
Polyploidy and Aneuploidy
- Polyploidy has a chromosome number that's a multiple of the normal haploid number (3n or 4n).
- Aneuploidy involves gaining or losing a single chromosome (monosomy or trisomy).
Chromosome Structure Variations
- Chromosome structure variations include deletions, duplications, translocations, and inversions.
Mating Systems
- Inbreeding increases homozygosity.
- Outbreeding increases heterozygosity (e.g., species cross; crossbreeding).
Crossbreeding Reasons
- Crossing breeds brings good genes and increases productivity.
Domestication Prerequisites
- Domesticated animals adapt to various feed types and can survive and reproduce with humans.
Breeding Effects - Broilers and Laying Hens
- Broiler chickens have metabolic health problems due to rapid growth.
- Laying hens have increased bone fractures and reduced fertility due to lower calcium intake.
- Dairy cows may have reduced fertility and difficult births.
