Multiple Alleles

Blood Type- codominance • Blood A is codominant to blood B So it appears like this A X B AB blood type

Figure 10. 12 Inheritance of Coat Color in Rabbits

Multiple Alleles Remember : an allele is one form of a gene. A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein. When more than 2 different alleles control the trait. • Coat color in rabbits is determined by a single gene that has at least 4 different alleles. • Different combination of alleles result in four different colors you see here

What makes up our blood? • RED BLOOD CELLS (erythrocytes) – The most abundant cells in our blood; they are produced in the bone marrow and contain a protein called hemoglobin that carries oxygen to our cells. • WHITE BLOOD CELLS (leukocytes) – They are part of the immune system and destroy infectious agents called pathogens. • PLASMA – The yellowish liquid portion of blood that contains electrolytes, nutrients and vitamins, hormones, clotting factors, and proteins such as antibodies to fight infection. • PLATELETS (thrombocytes) – The clotting factors that are carried in the plasma; they clot together in a process called coagulation to seal a wound and prevent a loss of blood.

Blood Facts The average adult has about FIVE liters of blood inside of their body, which makes up 7 -8% of their body weight. This red liquid is living tissue that carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, and carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for disposal. It fights against infection and helps heal wounds, so we can stay healthy. There about one billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. For every 600 red blood cells, there about 40 platelets and one white cell. http: //www. bloodbankofalaska. org/about_blood/index. html

How is our blood type determined? • Your blood type is established before you are BORN, by specific GENES inherited from your parents. • You receive one gene from your MOTHER and one from your FATHER. • These two genes determine your blood type by causing proteins called AGGLUTINOGENS to exist on the surface of all of your red blood cells.

What are blood types? How common are the 4 There are 3 alleles or genes for blood type: A, B, & O. Since we have 2 genes, there are 6 possible combinations. 11% blood types? Blood Types 4% AA or AO = Type A BB or BO = Type B OO = Type O AB = Type AB 45% 40% http: //www. lanecountyblood. org/images/other/bloodfacts. jpg http: //learn. genetics. utah. edu/units/basics/blood/types. cfm

Rh Factors • Scientists sometimes study Rhesus monkeys • • to learn more about the human anatomy because there are certain similarities between the two species. While studying Rhesus monkeys, a certain blood protein was discovered. This protein is also present in the blood of some people. Other people, however, do not have the protein. The presence of the protein, or lack of it, is referred to as the Rh (for Rhesus) factor. If your blood does contain the protein, your blood is said to be Rh positive (Rh+). If your blood does not contain the protein, your blood is said to be Rh negative (Rh-). http: //www. fi. edu/biosci/blood/rh. html A+ AB+ BAB+ ABO+ O-

How can blood be used as evidence? • Blood samples – Can be analyzed to determine BLOOD TYPE and DNA, which can be matched to possible suspects. • Blood droplets – Can be analyzed to give clues to the location of a WOUND, movement of a VICTIM, and type of INJURY. • Blood spatter – Can be analyzed to determine PATTERNS that give investigators clues to how a crime might have happened.

Blood Typing To determine a person’s blood type, we add three different serums to blood samples and see if clumps form. Clumps = Positive (+) No Clumps = Negative (-) 14. Use the results shown to determine the blood type for each sample. + = Clump - = No Clumps A Rh What would the blood type be for this sample? #13 B Blood Type: ___

A Blood Typing Rh Use the results shown to determine the blood type for each sample. + = present A - = absent 3. Blood Type: ___ Rh B B 1. Blood Type: ___ 2. Blood Type: ___ A A Rh B A Rh Rh B B 4. Blood Type: ___ 5. Blood Type: ___

A blood type (agglutination in A only) Clumps in A only

Polygenic Poly means MANY So polygenic means many genes determine the trait

Some Traits Don’t Follow Simple Mendelian Rules: • Some traits are determined by more than one pair of genes. These are referred to as polygenic, or continuous, traits. (poly = many) • Example: Human height. The combined size of all of the body parts from head to foot determines the height of an individual.

Polygenic = many genes Gene 1 Gene 2 Gene 3 Trait (height)

Polygenic Traits • Traits controlled by 2 or more genes • Means having many genes • Example: wide range of skin color in humans occur partly because more than four different genes probably control this trait AABBCC darkest skin color Aabbcc lightest skin color • Three genes are also involved in making the reddish- brown pigment in the eyes of fruit flies.

Quick Lab Line up according to skin tone Discussion: What can you infer about your skin tone compared to the 1. student next to you 2. 4 th student to you 3. Ms. Chaney’s and yours Skin color is determined by many genes- therefore polygenic

Below is the spectrum of human hair color. How is this trait controlled genetically?

Multifactorial • Means many factors • Both genetic and environmental collectively influence the phenotype • Example: height and weight in humans Genetics determine how tall you can be but diet and exercise can influence change Example 2: color of hydrangea depends on PH

Some Traits Don’t Follow Simple Mendelian Rules: • Some genes are not • expressed unless the right environmental factor is present. For example, you may inherit the genes that are responsible for type 2 diabetes but never get the disease unless you become greatly overweight, persistently stressed psychologically, or do not get enough sleep on a regular basis.

Some Traits Don’t Follow Simple Mendelian Rules: • Similarly, the genes that cause the • chronic autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis, may be triggered by the Epstein-Barr virus and possibly other specific environmental stresses. New research suggests that exposure to the sun in childhood can provide some protection from developing MS. So, people who grow up in tropical and subtropical regions of the world have significantly lower rates of MS as adults.

How do you get this? Duh! You mate a great white with a seagull! Haha!!!

Humans have 46 chromosomes 44 are autosomal cells 2 are sex cells Sex- linked inheritance means the trait is located on the X chromosome

Female needs 2 copies of recessive allele to have the trait • If only one trait, she will be a carrier • Mothers pass traits to sons and daughters Male- need only 1 copy of recessive allele to express recessive trait (XY) Fathers can pass only to daughter (one x chromosome from dad)

Sex-linked Inheritance The allele for the trait is located on the X-chromosome and therefore the inheritance Pattern is slightly different in males and females XX female (2 X chromosomes) XY male (1 X and 1 Y chromosome)

1. Colorblindness to distinguish certain colors. 3 Examples. Inability of sex-linked disorders genes associated with colorblindness are located on X chromosomes Males have just one X chromosome. Thus all X-linked alleles are expressed in males, even if they are recessive For this to be expressed in female, there must be two copies of the allele, one on each X chromosome. Color blindness is more common in males Because fathers pass X to daughters. It may not show in daughter but can show later in grandsons

Colorblindness – in humans, colorblindness is a sex-linked trait and is recessive to normal vision. C = normal c = colorblind a. What is the sex of each of these people? Write either Male or Female on the blank below each b. which are colorblind? _______ c. which have normal vision? _____ d. Which has normal color vision even though she has the colorblind gene (is a carrier)? _____

2. Examples of sex-linked disorders contd: Hemophilia is a genetic disorder passed from one generation to the next through the X (female) chromosome. blood does not clot normally. Although women transmit the disease, only men can exhibit it. Women who carry hemophilia (carriers) have the gene on one of their X chromosome Since the gene is recessive, they do not have the disorder. But if a male has the bad gene, then he will be a hemophiliac because there is no matching gene on his Y chromosome to be dominant to it. Females must have the gene on both X chromosomes to have hemophilia • Queen Victoria of England was a carrier of hemophilia and passed the disease to many of her descendants

Hemophilia is another example of a sex-linked disorder. People with hemophilia have blood that does not clot normally. Therefore, when they get a cut, they cannot stop bleeding. The gene for hemophilia is recessive. H = normal h = hemophilia Draw a punnett square for this cross: A homozygous normal female mates with a male with hemophilia.

Muscular Dystrophy • Progressive weakening and loss of skeletal muscles • The disease, which almost exclusively affects males, begins in early childhood and usually causes death before adulthood.

Question Why do males exhibit (show) traits passed on to them by their mothers?

Answer • Males have one X chromosome. So all X-linked alleles are expressed in males even if they are recessive.

In fruit flies, eye color is a sex linked trait. R = red r = white Draw a punnett square for this cross: A red-eyed male mates with a carrier female. 1. What is the probability of having a white-eyed male? ______ 2. What is the probability of having a white-eyed female? _______ 3. If this cross produced 200 flies, about how many would be white-eyed males? ________
