Gene Segregation and Interaction Hand Out Beb

This document summarizes Mendel's laws of inheritance: 1) The Law of Segregation states that alleles for a gene segregate from each other during gamete formation such that each gamete carries only one allele. 2) The Law of Independent Assortment states that genes for different traits assort independently of each other during gamete formation. 3) Segregation and assortment also occur in haploid organisms, contributing to genetic diversity through random assortment of alleles during gamete formation.

Genetics
Different forms of Genes
- study of how genes and traits are
passed down from one
generation to the next

Gregor Johann Mendel


- Father of Genetics
- He was an Austrian monk in the During gamete formation the
19th century who worked out the alleles for each gene segregate
basic law of inheritance through from each other such that each
experiments with pea plants gamete formed carries only one
- His experiments explained the allele for each gene
transfer of genetic traits from one
generation to the next. First part
- These laws have significantly During gamete formation
expanded the understanding of Process of Meiosis - type
genetic inheritance and resulted of cell division which gives us
in new experimental methods four cells with half the number of
becoming developed. chromosomes

Second part
Three Different Mendel Inheritance The alleles of each gene
Laws C and c is what we are
A. Law of Segregation referring to. That means one
allele from the gene set
B. Law of Independent Assortment
Third part
Segregate from each other Genes assort independently
This means the alleles will
separate. They will not remain together
in the process.

Last part
One gamete carries only one allele
for each gene
At the end of the meiosis
process, we will get four cells, such that
each cell will have only one allele in it LAW OF INDEPENDENT
Two cells will have two “C“ and ASSORTMENT
the other two cells will have the “c“ Genes for the different traits assort
allele independent of each other during
Thus, each gamete gets only gamete formation
one allele

2. LAW OF INDEPENDENT Genes for the different traits
ASSORTMENT
Addressing the genes which

RANDOMNESS

Last Part
Randomness inside us Assort independent of each other
- alignment of chromosomes on Genes will not have a fixed

Segregation in Haploid Organisms
 Haploid organisms have one set

 CO-DOMINANCE

Assortment in Haploid Organisms


COMPLETE DOMINANCE
 Haploid organisms exhibit
assortment at the gene level. Dominant allele will mask the
 Assortment in haploid organisms effect of the recessive allele
promotes genetic diversity. completely
 The assortment process is
random, leading to various allele
combinations in offspring. INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
Dominant allele will mask the
effect of the recessive one, but
4. DOMINANCE RELATIONSHIPS
not completely

OVER DOMINANCE
One of the alleles produces
slightly different protein than
other which lead to superior trait
that eventually beneficial to the
organism

CO-DOMINANCE
Both the alleles are dominant
