WHAT IS GENETICS?
From Wikipedia:
Genetics - the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, PEOPLE WERE DOING GENETICSWITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT,
THEY SELECTED THE TRAITS IN PLANTS AND ANIMALS THAT THEY WANTEDAND BRED FOR ONLY THOSE TRAITS

TERMS TO REMEMBER:
GENOTYPES: exactly what gene alleles are carried
PHENOTYPES: what shows on the surface
DOMINANT (TT) / RECESSIVE (tt)
HOMOZYGOUS/HETEROZYGOUS (TT/Tt)

GREGOR MENDEL, A EUROPEAN MONK IN THE 1800S, RESEARCHED PEA PLANTS
HE CAME UP WITH THIS:
1.The inheritance of each trait is determined by "units" or "factors” passed on to descendents unchanged (Alleles on our genes)
2. For each trait, an individual inherits one such unit OR ALLELE from each parent
3. That a trait may not show up in an individual but can still be passed on to the next generation.

Genetic Research isn’t new
• Genetic modification to corn has been going on for almost 9000 years.
• Even “modern” hybrid corn development started in 1908 with the discovery of Hybrid Vigor
14
12/11/12
Hybrid Vigor• Cross two corn plants with favorable
characteristics
• The “hybrid” seed produced from the mating would be superior to both parents when planted and grown.

LET’S TALK RATIOS AND PERCENTAGES
18
12/11/12
ALBINO: GREEN CORN RATIOS AND PERCENTS
GREEN PLANTS: ______ (YOURS) ________ (CLASS)
WHITE PLANTS: ______ (YOURS) ________ (CLASS)
TOTAL PLANTS: ______ (YOURS) _______ (CLASS)
RATIO GREEN/WHITE: ______ (YOURS) _____ (CLASS)

GREGOR MENDEL:
“EXPECTED RATIOS” FOR THEF1 AND F2 GENERATIONS:
F1 = ALL DOMINANT: 100%
F2 = 3 DOMINANT: 1 RECESSIVE 75% : 25%
20

BUT, JUST BECAUSE WE EXPECT SOMETHING,
DO WE ALWAYS GET IT???
21
12/11/12
YELLOW KERNELS: ______ (YOURS) ________ (CLASS)
PURPLE KERNELS: ______ (YOURS) ________ (CLASS)
TOTAL KERNELS: ______ (YOURS) ________ (CLASS)
RATIO YELLOW TO PURPLE: ________ (YOURS) ______ (CLASS)
YELLOW VS. PURPLE CORN KERNELS RATIOS AND PERCENTS
22
12/11/12
THE BIGGER THE SAMPLE SIZE,
THE MORE THAT “ACTUAL” = “EXPECTED”
23
12/11/12
ARE WE MISSINGSOMETHING?
LET’S TAKE A STEP BACK
24
12/11/12
Regular body cells (2 alleles/trait) reproduce
in a process called:
MITOSIS
25
12/11/12
AaAa
Aa SO A REGULAR CELL
Reproduces through Mitosis and
ends upWith two cells the
same As the parent
THESE ARE CALLED:DIPLOID CELLSBECAUSE THEY
HAVE 2 ALLELES FOR A
TRAIT
26

QuickTime™ and ampeg4 decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
27
12/11/12
BUT WAIT A MINUTE…
•IF EACH PARENT CELL HAS 2 ALLELES FOR A TRAIT
•AND THE TWO PARENT CELLS COMBINE,
•WOULDN’T YOU HAVE A SEED WITH 4 ALLELES?
28
12/11/12
PLANT SEEDS:
- POLLEN FROM THE “DAD”
- AN EGG FROM THE “MOM”
-A SEED WITH ALLELES FROM BOTH PARENTS
29
12/11/12
BUT POLLEN AND EGGS ARE NOT REGULAR CELLS.
THEY HAVE HALF THE CHROMOSOMES.
THAT MEANS HALF THE ALLELES
THEY ARE HAPLOID CELLS
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?
(Hint: Remember we mentioned Meiosis earlier???)
30
12/11/12
QuickTime™ and ampeg4 decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
31
12/11/12
SO IN MEIOSIS:
A DIPLOID CELL (WITH 2 ALLELES),DOUBLES TO 4 ALLELES
THEN
SPLITS INTO 4 HAPLOID CELLS (1 allele each)
32
12/11/12
AT FERTILIZATION, ONE ALLELE FROM EACH PARENT COMBINES TO FORM:
THE EMBRYO THAT BECOMESTHE CHILD….WITH TWOCHROMOSOMES

WITH ALL THAT MIXING AND SPREADING OF ALLELES,
HOW DO WE PREDICT WHO ENDS
UP WITH WHAT TRAIT???
36
12/11/12
Dr. Balint-Kurti’s research:• The genetic basis for:quantitative
disease resistance in maize. • It also known as partial disease
resistance, • Usually it is enough to protect the plants
