● A condition when during the heterozygous
condition (Bb) the dominant allele does not
completely overpower the recessive allele.
● Therefore, there is a “blending” of the traits.
incomplete/partial dominance
A condition when during the heterozygous
condition (Bb) the dominant allele does not
completely overpower the recessive allele so
both traits are seen at the same time.
- No recessive allele at all
codominance
This occurs when both alleles are
expressed equally in the phenotype of the
heterozygote.
Codominance
● Inheritance pattern for traits that are controlled
by more than one gene.
● An example would be: height, skin complexion,
eye color, hair color, etc.
polygenic inheritance
● Genes capable of causing death of organism
carrying them
- Typically the consequence of mutation
lethal genes
Manx cats are heterozygous for a dominant mutation that
results in no tails (or very short tails), large hindlegs, and a distinctive gait. The mating of two Manx cats yields two Manx kittens for each normal, long-tailed kitten, rather than 3:1 as would be predicted from Mendelian genetics. Therefore, the mutation causing the Manx cat phenotype is likely a(n)
_____ allele.
a. Codominant
b. Epistatic
c. Lethal
d. Sex-linked
lethal
● When one gene affects multiple characteristics.
● It refers to the expression of multiple
traits by a single gene.
Pleiotropy
- The transmission of traits through cytoplasmic genetic factors such as mitochondria or chloroplasts.
■ These cytoplasmic organelles are usually inherited with the egg’s cytoplasm from the mother
● Maternal inheritance (also called cytoplasmic
inheritance)
- An individual’s phenotype is controlled
by gene products in the genome (e.g.
proteins) of the mother (oocyte).
Maternal effects (also called maternal
influence)
A cell with a mutant and normal
mitochondria
heteroplasmy
A cell has a uniform set of
mitochondria: all completely
normal mtDNA or completely
mutant mtDNA
homoplasmy
Only the mother pass on the
mitochondrial DNA
true or false
true!
- a complementary cross
between the phenotypes of the female and the
male
Reciprocal cross
● Refers to the inheritance of an agent
(microorganisms, parasites, viruses, bacterias,
etc.) that can be inherited with cytoplasm.
INFECTIOUS INHERITANCE
_______ are formed due to the differential
methylation of paternal and maternal alleles.
Imprints
- low levels of gene
expression - Genes are imprinted
- Not expressed at all
Methylated DNA
- higher level of gene
expression - Genes are not imprinted
- Will be expressed
Unmethylated DNA
Presence of two or more populations of cells
with different genotypes in one individual who
has developed from a single fertilized egg.
mosaicism
This can be a result of X-inactivation or
mutation
- Both could lead to the development of
multiple cell populations
mosaicism
It develops during early
stage of embryonic development
(development of multiple cell
populations)
Mosaicism
it can be seen usually on the
later stage of life or when the individual
was already born
Vitiligo
refers to the
marking process in which an offspring
expresses a gene that is inherited from
one parent but not both.
Genomic Imprinting
used to analyze the patterns of
inheritance of a particular trait that runs in the
family.
Pedigrees
Use a__________ if the gender is not yet known, a
circle or a square if the gender is known.
diamond
○ If the trait is ________, one of the
parents must have the trait.
dominant
__________ traits skips the generation of
the affected family.
Recessive
✔ Only males are affected
Sex linked
✔ Parents doesnt have to be affected
✔ Skips generation (meron sa anak, sa parent
wala)
Sex linked recessive
✔ Does not skip a generation
Autosomal dominant
- One mutated copy of the gene in each cell is
sufficient for a person to be affected - Each affected person usually has one affected
parent
Autosomal dominant
- Two mutated copies (homozygous) of the gene
are present in each cell - Affected person usually has unaffected parents
who each carry a single copy of the mutated
gene (and are referred to as carriers)
Autosomal recessive
● Associated diseases are located in the X
chromosomes
X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE
- Always expressed in the males
- Expressed in a female homozygote but very
rarely in a heterozygote
X-linked Recessive trait
● Only males are affected
● It is based from father to all sons
- Because it is y-linked
● It does not skip generations
Y-linked Dominant
● Appears in both sexes with equal frequency
● Trait tend to skip generations
● Affected offspring are usually born to unaffected
parents
Autosomal Recessive
If most of the males in the pedigree are
affected, then the disorder is ?
X-linked
If it is a 50/50 ratio between men and women
the disorder is?
autosomal
● Both males and females are affected; often more
females than males are affected
● Does not skip generations.
● Affected sons must have an affected mother
X-linked Dominant
● Affected daughters must have either an affected
mother or an affected father
● Affected fathers will pass the trait on to all their
daughters
● Affected mothers if heterozygous will pass the
trait on to 1/2 of their sons and 1/2 of their
daughters
X LINKED DOMINANT
● It is NEVER PASSED FROM FATHER TO SON
● All daughters of affected fathers are carriers
X LINKED RECESSIVE
occurs when a homologous
pair of chromosomes fails to disjoin or separate
during cell division.
Nondisjunction
________ NONDISJUNCTION
● Failure of the chromosomes to disjoin and pass
to opposite poles
● Major cause of chromosomal abnormalities
MEIOTIC
● 75% occurs in oogenesis, where the
probability of nondisjunction increases with
maternal age
● Almost 80% occur in the first meiotic division
meiotic nondisjunction
During this stage, sister copies of DNA are
supposed to break apart and chromosomes are pulled
by the spindle
Anaphase
describes the chromosomal
complement of an individual.
