A plant with red fruits produces gametes that carry dominant alleles AB, and the plant yellow fruits produces gametes that carry recessive alleles av. The combination of these gametes leads to the formation of a diheterozygote AaVv because the genes BUT and AT dominant, then all hybrids of the first generation will have red and smooth fruits.

We will cross plants with red and smooth fruits from the generation F1 with a plant with yellow and pubescent fruits (Fig. 2). Determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring.

Rice. 2. Crossover scheme ()

One of the parents is a heterozygote, its genotype AaVv, the second parent is homozygous for recessive alleles, its genotype is aavv. A diheterozygous organism produces the following types of gametes: AB, Av, aB, av; homozygous organism - gametes of the same type: av. The result is four genotypic classes: AaVv, aww, aawww, aavv and four phenotypic classes: red smooth, red hairy, yellow smooth, yellow hairy.

Cleavage for each of the signs: by the color of the fruit 1:1, by the skin of the fruit 1:1.

This is a typical analyzing cross, which allows you to determine the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype. A dihybrid cross is two independently running monohybrid crosses, the results of which are superimposed on each other. The described mechanism of inheritance in dihybrid crossing refers to traits whose genes are located in different pairs of non-homologous chromosomes, that is, in one pair of chromosomes there are genes responsible for the color of tomato fruits, and in the other pair of chromosomes there are genes responsible for the smoothness or pubescence of the skin of the fruit.

By crossing two pea plants grown from yellow and smooth seeds, 264 yellow smooth, 61 yellow wrinkled, 78 green smooth, 29 green wrinkled seeds were obtained. Determine to which cross the observed ratio of phenotypic classes belongs.

In the condition given splitting from crossing, four phenotypic classes were obtained with the following splitting 9:3:3:1, and this indicates that two diheterozygous plants were crossed having the following genotype: AaVv and AaVv(Fig. 3).

Rice. 3 Crossing scheme for task 2 ()

If we build a Punnett lattice, in which we write gametes horizontally and vertically, in squares - zygotes obtained by merging gametes, we will get four phenotypic classes with the splitting indicated in the task (Fig. 4).

Rice. 4. Punnett lattice for problem 2 ()

Incomplete dominance in one of the signs. In the snapdragon plant, the red color of the flowers does not completely suppress the white color, the combination of the dominant and recessive alleles causes the pink color of the flowers. The normal flower shape dominates the elongated and pyloric flower shape (Fig. 5).

Rice. 5. Snapdragon Crossing ()

We crossed homozygous plants with normal white flowers and a homozygous plant with elongated red flowers. It is necessary to determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring.

The task:

BUT- red color - dominant trait

a- white color - recessive trait

AT- normal form - dominant trait

in- pyloric form - recessive trait

aaBB- genotype of white color and normal flower shape

AAvv- genotype of red pyloric flowers

They produce gametes of the same type, in the first case, gametes that carry alleles aB, in the second case - Av. The combination of these gametes leads to the emergence of a diheterozygote with the genotype AaVv- all hybrids of the first generation will have a pink color and a normal flower shape (Fig. 6).

Rice. 6. Crossing scheme for task 3 ()

We cross the hybrids of the first generation to determine the color and shape of the flower in the generation F2 with incomplete color dominance.

The genotypes of the parent organisms - AaVv and Awww,

hybrids form four types of gametes: AB, Av, aB, av(Fig. 7).

Rice. 7. Scheme of crossing hybrids of the first generation, task 3 ()

When analyzing the resulting offspring, we can say that we did not get the traditional splitting according to the 9:3 and 3:1 phenotype, since the plants show incomplete dominance in flower color (Fig. 8).

Rice. 8. Punnett table for task 3 ()

Out of 16 plants: three red normal, six pink normal, one red pyloric, two pink pyloric, three white normal and one white pyloric.

We considered examples of solving problems for dihybrid crossing.

In humans, brown eyes dominate over blue, and the ability to own better right hand dominates left-handedness.

Task 4

A brown-eyed right-hander married a blue-eyed left-hander, they had two children - a blue-eyed right-hander and a blue-eyed left-hander. Determine the genotype of the mother.

Let's write down the condition of the problem:

BUT- Brown eyes

a- Blue eyes

AT- right-handedness

in- left-handedness

aavv- father's genotype, he is homozygous for recessive alleles of two genes

BUT - ? AT- ? - the mother's genotype has two dominant genes and can theoretically have

genotypes: AABB, AaBB, AAVv, AaVv.

F1 - aavv, aaB - ?

If there is a genotype AABB the mother would not have any splitting in the offspring: all children would be brown-eyed right-handed and would have the genotype AaVv because the father produces the same type of gametes av(Fig. 9).

Rice. 9. Crossing scheme for task 4 ()

Two children have blue eyes, which means that the mother is heterozygous for eye color Ah, in addition, one of the children is left-handed - this indicates that the mother has a recessive gene in, responsible for left-handedness, that is, the mother is a typical diheterozygote. The crossbreeding scheme and possible children from this marriage are shown in Fig. ten.

Rice. 10. Crossing scheme and possible children from marriage ()

Trihybrid is such a cross in which the parent organisms differ from each other in three pairs of alternative traits.

Example: crossing peas with smooth yellow seeds and purple flowers with green wrinkled seeds and white flowers.

Tri-hybrid plants will show dominant traits: yellow color and smooth seed shape with purple flowers (Fig. 11).

Rice. 11. Scheme of trihybrid crossing ()

Trihybrid plants as a result of independent splitting of genes produce

eight types of gametes - female and male, combined, they will give in F2 64 combinations, 27 genotypes and 8 phenotypes.

Genetics, its tasks

The successes of natural science and cell biology in the 18th-19th centuries allowed a number of scientists to speculate about the existence of certain hereditary factors that determine, for example, the development of hereditary diseases, but these assumptions were not supported by appropriate evidence. Even the theory of intracellular pangenesis formulated by H. de Vries in 1889, which assumed the existence of certain “pangens” in the cell nucleus that determine the hereditary inclinations of the organism, and the release into the protoplasm of only those of them that determine the cell type, could not change the situation, as well as the theory of "germ plasm" by A. Weisman, according to which the traits acquired in the process of ontogenesis are not inherited.

Only the works of the Czech researcher G. Mendel (1822-1884) became the foundation stone of modern genetics. However, despite the fact that his works were cited in scientific publications, contemporaries did not pay attention to them. And only the rediscovery of the patterns of independent inheritance by three scientists at once - E. Chermak, K. Correns and H. de Vries - forced the scientific community to turn to the origins of genetics.

Genetics is a science that studies the laws of heredity and variability and methods of managing them.

The tasks of genetics on the present stage are the study of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of hereditary material, analysis of the structure and functioning of the genotype, deciphering the fine structure of the gene and methods for regulating gene activity, the search for genes that cause the development of human hereditary diseases and methods for their “correction”, the creation of a new generation of drugs similar to DNA vaccines , designing with the help of genetic and cell engineering organisms with new properties that could produce the necessary for a person medications and food, as well as a complete decoding of the human genome.

Heredity and variability - properties of organisms

Heredity- is the ability of organisms to transmit their characteristics and properties in a number of generations.

Variability- the property of organisms to acquire new characteristics during life.

signs- these are any morphological, physiological, biochemical and other features of organisms in which some of them differ from others, for example, eye color. properties They also call any functional features of organisms, which are based on a certain structural feature or a group of elementary features.

Organisms can be divided into quality and quantitative. Qualitative signs have two or three contrasting manifestations, which are called alternative features, for example, blue and brown eyes, while quantitative ones (milk yield of cows, wheat yield) do not have clearly defined differences.

The material carrier of heredity is DNA. There are two types of heredity in eukaryotes: genotypic and cytoplasmic. Carriers of genotypic inheritance are localized in the nucleus and further we will talk it is about her, and the carriers of cytoplasmic heredity are circular DNA molecules located in mitochondria and plastids. Cytoplasmic inheritance is transmitted mainly with the egg, therefore it is also called maternal.

A small number of genes are localized in the mitochondria of human cells, but their change can have a significant impact on the development of the organism, for example, lead to the development of blindness or a gradual decrease in mobility. Plastids play an equally important role in plant life. So, in some parts of the leaf, chlorophyll-free cells may be present, which, on the one hand, leads to a decrease in plant productivity, and on the other hand, such variegated organisms are valued in decorative gardening. Such specimens are reproduced mainly asexually, since ordinary green plants are more often obtained during sexual reproduction.

Genetic methods

1. The hybridological method, or the method of crosses, consists in the selection of parent individuals and the analysis of offspring. At the same time, the genotype of an organism is judged by the phenotypic manifestations of genes in offspring obtained by a certain crossing scheme. This is the oldest informative method of genetics, which was most fully applied for the first time by G. Mendel in combination with the statistical method. This method is not applicable in human genetics for ethical reasons.

2. The cytogenetic method is based on the study of the karyotype: the number, shape and size of the body's chromosomes. The study of these features makes it possible to identify various developmental pathologies.

3. The biochemical method makes it possible to determine the content of various substances in the body, in particular their excess or deficiency, as well as the activity of a number of enzymes.

4. Molecular genetic methods are aimed at identifying variations in the structure and deciphering the primary nucleotide sequence of the studied DNA sections. They allow you to identify genes for hereditary diseases even in embryos, establish paternity, etc.

5. The population-statistical method makes it possible to determine the genetic composition of a population, the frequency of certain genes and genotypes, the genetic load, and also to outline the prospects for the development of a population.

6. The method of hybridization of somatic cells in culture allows you to determine the localization of certain genes in chromosomes when cells of various organisms merge, for example, mice and hamsters, mice and humans, etc.

Basic genetic concepts and symbolism

Gene- This is a section of a DNA molecule, or chromosome, that carries information about a certain trait or property of an organism.

Some genes can influence the manifestation of several traits at once. Such a phenomenon is called pleiotropy. For example, the gene that causes the development of the hereditary disease arachnodactyly (spider fingers) also causes the curvature of the lens, the pathology of many internal organs.

Each gene occupies a strictly defined place in the chromosome - locus. Since in the somatic cells of most eukaryotic organisms the chromosomes are paired (homologous), each of the paired chromosomes contains one copy of the gene responsible for a particular trait. Such genes are called allelic.

Allelic genes most often exist in two variants - dominant and recessive. Dominant called an allele that manifests itself regardless of which gene is on the other chromosome, and suppresses the development of a trait encoded by a recessive gene. Dominant alleles are usually labeled capital letters Latin alphabet (A, B, C, etc.), and recessive - lowercase (a, b, c, etc.). recessive alleles can only be expressed if they occupy loci on both paired chromosomes.

An organism that has the same allele on both homologous chromosomes is called homozygous for that gene, or homozygous(AA, aa, AABB, aabb, etc.), and an organism that has different gene variants on both homologous chromosomes - dominant and recessive - is called heterozygous for that gene, or heterozygote(Aa, AaBb, etc.).

A number of genes can have three or more structural variants, for example, blood groups according to the AB0 system are encoded by three alleles - I A, I B, i. Such a phenomenon is called multiple allelism. However, even in this case, each chromosome from a pair carries only one allele, that is, all three gene variants in one organism cannot be represented.

Genome- a set of genes characteristic of a haploid set of chromosomes.

Genotype- a set of genes characteristic of a diploid set of chromosomes.

Phenotype- a set of signs and properties of an organism, which is the result of the interaction of the genotype and the environment.

Since organisms differ from each other in many traits, it is possible to establish the patterns of their inheritance only by analyzing two or more traits in the offspring. Crossing, in which inheritance is considered and an accurate quantitative account of offspring is carried out for one pair of alternative traits, is called monohybrid m, in two pairs - dihybrid, according to more signs - polyhybrid.

According to the phenotype of an individual, it is far from always possible to establish its genotype, since both an organism homozygous for the dominant gene (AA) and heterozygous (Aa) will have a manifestation of the dominant allele in the phenotype. Therefore, to check the genotype of an organism with cross-fertilization, analyzing cross A cross in which an organism with a dominant trait is crossed with a homozygous for a recessive gene. In this case, an organism homozygous for the dominant gene will not produce splitting in the offspring, while in the offspring of heterozygous individuals an equal number of individuals with dominant and recessive traits is observed.

The following conventions are most often used to write crossover schemes:

R (from lat. parent- parents) - parent organisms;

$♀$ (alchemical sign of Venus - a mirror with a handle) - maternal individual;

$♂$ (alchemical sign of Mars - shield and spear) - paternal individual;

$×$ is the cross sign;

F 1, F 2, F 3, etc. - hybrids of the first, second, third and subsequent generations;

F a - offspring from analyzing crosses.

Chromosomal theory of heredity

The founder of genetics G. Mendel, as well as his closest followers, had no idea about the material basis of hereditary inclinations, or genes. However, already in 1902-1903, the German biologist T. Boveri and the American student W. Setton independently suggested that the behavior of chromosomes during cell maturation and fertilization makes it possible to explain the splitting of hereditary factors according to Mendel, i.e., in their opinion, genes must be located on the chromosomes. These assumptions have become the cornerstone of the chromosome theory of heredity.

In 1906, the English geneticists W. Batson and R. Pennet discovered a violation of Mendelian splitting when crossing sweet peas, and their compatriot L. Doncaster, in experiments with the gooseberry moth butterfly, discovered sex-linked inheritance. The results of these experiments clearly contradicted Mendelian ones, but given that by that time it was already known that the number of known features for experimental objects far exceeded the number of chromosomes, and this suggested that each chromosome carries more than one gene, and the genes of one chromosomes are inherited together.

In 1910, the experiments of the T. Morgan group began on a new experimental object - the Drosophila fruit fly. The results of these experiments made it possible by the mid-20s of the 20th century to formulate the main provisions of the chromosome theory of heredity, to determine the order of arrangement of genes in chromosomes and the distance between them, i.e., to compile the first maps of chromosomes.

The main provisions of the chromosome theory of heredity:

  1. Genes are located on chromosomes. Genes on the same chromosome are inherited together, or linked, and are called clutch group. The number of linkage groups is numerically equal to the haploid set of chromosomes.
  2. Each gene occupies a strictly defined place in the chromosome - a locus.
  3. Genes are arranged linearly on chromosomes.
  4. Disruption of gene linkage occurs only as a result of crossing over.
  5. The distance between genes on a chromosome is proportional to the percentage of crossing over between them.
  6. Independent inheritance is characteristic only for genes of non-homologous chromosomes.

Modern ideas about the gene and genome

In the early 40s of the twentieth century, J. Beadle and E. Tatum, analyzing the results of genetic studies conducted on the neurospore fungus, came to the conclusion that each gene controls the synthesis of an enzyme, and formulated the principle "one gene - one enzyme" .

However, already in 1961, F. Jacob, J. L. Monod and A. Lvov managed to decipher the structure of the Escherichia coli gene and study the regulation of its activity. For this discovery, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1965.

In the course of the study, in addition to structural genes that control the development of certain traits, they were able to identify regulatory ones, the main function of which is the manifestation of traits encoded by other genes.

The structure of the prokaryotic gene. The structural gene of prokaryotes has a complex structure, since it includes regulatory regions and coding sequences. Regulatory regions include promoter, operator, and terminator. promoter called the region of the gene to which the RNA polymerase enzyme is attached, which ensures the synthesis of mRNA during transcription. FROM operator, located between the promoter and the structural sequence, can bind repressor protein, which does not allow RNA polymerase to start reading hereditary information from the coding sequence, and only its removal allows transcription to begin. The structure of the repressor is usually encoded in a regulatory gene located in another part of the chromosome. The reading of information ends at a section of the gene called terminator.

coding sequence structural gene contains information about the sequence of amino acids in the corresponding protein. The coding sequence in prokaryotes is called cistronome, and the set of coding and regulatory regions of the prokaryotic gene - operon. In general, prokaryotes, which include E. coli, have a relatively small number of genes located on a single ring chromosome.

The cytoplasm of prokaryotes may also contain additional small circular or open DNA molecules called plasmids. Plasmids are able to integrate into chromosomes and be transferred from one cell to another. They can carry information about sexual characteristics, pathogenicity, and antibiotic resistance.

The structure of the eukaryotic gene. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic genes do not have an operon structure, since they do not contain an operator, and each structural gene is accompanied only by a promoter and a terminator. In addition, significant regions in eukaryotic genes ( exons) alternate with insignificant ( introns), which are completely transcribed into mRNAs and then excised during their maturation. Biological role introns is to reduce the likelihood of mutations in significant areas. Eukaryotic gene regulation is much more complex than that described for prokaryotes.

The human genome. In each human cell, there are about 2 m of DNA in 46 chromosomes, densely packed into a double helix, which consists of about 3.2 $ × $ 10 9 nucleotide pairs, which provides about 10 1900000000 possible unique combinations. By the end of the 1980s, the location of about 1,500 human genes was known, but their total number was estimated at about 100,000, since only hereditary diseases in humans have about 10,000, not to mention the number of various proteins contained in cells .

In 1988, the international project "Human Genome" was launched, which ended by the beginning of the 21st century. full transcript nucleotide sequences. He made it clear that two different person 99.9% have similar nucleotide sequences, and only the remaining 0.1% define our individuality. In total, approximately 30-40 thousand structural genes were discovered, but then their number was reduced to 25-30 thousand. Among these genes there are not only unique ones, but also repeated hundreds and thousands of times. However, these genes encode a much larger number of proteins, such as tens of thousands of protective proteins - immunoglobulins.

97% of our genome is genetic "garbage" that exists only because it can reproduce well (the RNA that is transcribed in these regions never leaves the nucleus). For example, among our genes there are not only "human" genes, but also 60% of genes similar to those of the fruit fly, and up to 99% of our genes are related to chimpanzees.

In parallel with the decoding of the genome, chromosome mapping also took place, as a result of which it was possible not only to detect, but also to determine the location of some genes responsible for the development of hereditary diseases, as well as drug target genes.

The deciphering of the human genome does not yet have a direct effect, since we have received a kind of instruction for assembling such a complex organism as a person, but have not learned how to make it or at least correct errors in it. Nevertheless, the era of molecular medicine is already on the threshold, all over the world there is a development of so-called gene preparations that can block, remove or even replace pathological genes in living people, and not just in a fertilized egg.

We should not forget that in eukaryotic cells DNA is contained not only in the nucleus, but also in mitochondria and plastids. Unlike the nuclear genome, the organization of mitochondrial and plastid genes has much in common with the organization of the prokaryotic genome. Despite the fact that these organelles carry less than 1% of the cell's hereditary information and do not even encode the complete set of proteins necessary for their own functioning, they can significantly affect some features of the body. Thus, variegation in plants of chlorophytum, ivy and others is inherited by an insignificant number of descendants, even when two variegated plants are crossed. This is due to the fact that plastids and mitochondria are transmitted mostly with the cytoplasm of the egg, so this heredity is called maternal, or cytoplasmic, in contrast to the genotypic, which is localized in the nucleus.

    The father has IV blood type, the mother has I. Can a child inherit the blood type of his mother?

    Two children were mixed up in the maternity hospital. The first pair of parents has I and II blood groups, the second pair - II and IV. One child has the II group, and the second - the I group. Identify the parents of both children.

    Is it possible to transfuse blood to a child from a mother if her blood type is AB, and her father has 00? Explain the answer.

5. Blood group and Rh factor - autosomal unlinked traits. The blood group is controlled by three alleles of one gene - i 0, I A, I B. Alleles I A and I B are dominant with respect to the allele i 0. The first group (0) is determined by recessive genes i 0, the second group (A) is determined by the dominant allele I A, the third group (B) is determined by the dominant allele I B, and the fourth (AB) is determined by two dominant allele I A I B . The positive Rh factor R dominates the negative r. The father has the third blood type and positive Rh (diheterozygote), the mother has the second group and positive Rh (dihomozygous). Determine the genotypes of the parents. What blood type and Rh factor can children in this family have, what are their possible genotypes and phenotype ratio? Make a scheme for solving the problem. What law of heredity is manifested in this case?

1. In canaries, the presence of a crest is a dominant autosomal trait (A); the sex-linked gene X B determines the green color of the plumage, and X b - brown. Birds are homogametic male and heterogametic female. A crested green female was crossed with a male without a crest and green plumage (heterozygote). The offspring included chicks crested green, without crest green, crested brown and without crest brown. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Determine the genotypes of parents and offspring, their gender. What laws of heredity are manifested in this case?

2. The body color of Drosophila is determined by an autosomal gene. The eye color gene is located on the X chromosome. Drosophila is heterogametic in males. A female with a gray body and red eyes was crossed with a male with a black body and white eyes. All offspring had a gray body and red eyes. The males obtained in F1 were crossed with the parent female. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Determine the genotypes of the parents and females F 1, the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in F 2 . What proportion of females from the total number of offspring in the second crossing is phenotypically similar to the parental female? Specify their genotypes.

3. In humans, the gene for brown eyes dominates blue eyes (A), and the gene for color blindness is recessive (color blindness - d) and is linked to the X chromosome. A brown-eyed woman with normal vision, whose father had blue eyes and suffered from color blindness, marries a blue-eyed man with normal vision. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Determine the genotypes of parents and possible offspring, the probability of birth in this family of color blind children with brown eyes and their gender. Explain the answer.

4. In humans, the inheritance of albinism is not sex-linked (A is the presence of melanin in skin cells, a is albinism), and hemophilia is sex-linked (X n is normal blood clotting, X h is hemophilia). Determine the genotypes of the parents, as well as the possible genotypes, sex and phenotypes of children from the marriage of a diheterozygous woman for both alleles and an albino man with normal blood clotting. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Explain the answer.

1. When corn plants with smooth colored grains were crossed with a plant producing wrinkled uncolored seeds, in the first generation all plants produced smooth colored grains. When analyzing the crossing of hybrids from F 1, there were four phenotypic groups in the offspring: 1200 smooth colored, 1215 wrinkled uncolored, 309 smooth uncolored, 315 wrinkled colored. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring in two crosses. Explain the formation of four phenotypic groups in the second cross.

2. When crossing a diheterozygous corn plant with a colored seed and a starchy endosperm and a plant with an uncolored seed and a waxy endosperm, the offspring obtained splitting by phenotype: 9 plants with a colored seed and a starchy endosperm; 42 - with colored seed and waxy endosperm; 44 - with uncolored seed and starchy endosperm; 10 - with uncolored seed and waxy endosperm. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Determine the genotypes of the original individuals, the genotypes of the offspring. Explain the formation of four phenotypic groups.

3. A diheterozygous pea plant with smooth seeds and tendrils was crossed with a plant with wrinkled seeds without tendrils. It is known that both dominant genes (smooth seeds and the presence of antennae) are localized on the same chromosome; crossing over does not occur. Make a scheme for solving the problem. Determine the genotypes of the parents, the phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring, the ratio of individuals with different genotypes and phenotypes. What law is manifested in this case?

VI. Pedigree tasks

1. Based on the pedigree shown in the figure, determine and explain the nature of the inheritance of the trait highlighted in black (dominant or recessive, sex-linked or not. Determine the genotypes of the offspring 1,3,4,5,6,7. Determine the probability of birth from parents 1 .2 next child with a trait highlighted in black on the pedigree.

2. According to the pedigree shown in the figure, determine and justify the genotypes of parents, offspring, indicated in the diagram by the numbers 1,6,7. Set the probability of giving birth to a child with an inherited trait in woman number 6, if this trait has never manifested itself in her husband's family.

    Based on the pedigree shown in the figure, determine and explain the nature of the inheritance of the trait highlighted in black. Determine the genotypes of parents, offspring1,6 and explain the formation of their genotypes.

    According to the pedigree shown in the figure, determine the nature of the inheritance of the trait (dominant or recessive, linked or not linked to sex), highlighted in black, the genotypes of parents and children in the first generation. Indicate which of them is a carrier of the gene, the trait of which is highlighted in black.

Tasks for the interaction of genes

1. complementarity

In parrots, feather color is determined by two pairs of genes. The combination of two dominant genes determines the green color. Individuals recessive for both pairs of genes are white. The combination of the dominant gene A and the recessive gene b determines the yellow color, and the combination of the recessive gene a with the dominant gene B determines the blue color.

When two green individuals were crossed, they received parrots of all colors. Determine the genotypes of parents and offspring.

2. epistasis

The coat color of rabbits (as opposed to albinism) is determined by the dominant gene. The color of the color is controlled by another gene located on a different chromosome, and the gray color dominates over black (in albino rabbits, color color genes do not show themselves).

What characteristics will the hybrid forms obtained from crossing a gray rabbit born from an albino rabbit with an albino carrying the black color gene have?

3. pleiotropy.

One of the breeds of chickens is distinguished by shortened legs. This feature is dominant. The gene controlling it simultaneously causes the shortening of the beak. At the same time, in homozygous chickens, the beak is so small that they are not able to break through the egg shell and die without hatching from the egg. 3,000 chicks have been produced in the incubator of a farm that breeds only short-legged hens. How many of them are short-legged?

1. Boy-j0j0. Sister - JAJB

P J A j 0 and J A J B

2. Father - J A J B

Mother-j 0 j 0.

No, because children can have either the 2nd or 3rd blood group.

3. first pair of parents:
P: j 0 j 0 x J A j 0 or j 0 j 0 x J A J A
G: j 0 J A , j 0 j0 J A

In the first pair of parents, the son has 1 gr. and he received gene 0 from both parents. The second couple are the parents of a boy with the 2nd blood group.
This problem can be solved orally, because a child with 1 gr. blood cannot be born to a couple in which there is a person with 4 blood group
4. It is impossible, because in children, blood types are possible: A0 (II) or B0 (III), therefore, the blood of the fourth group, which the mother has, cannot be transfused.

Splitting by eye color - 1:1 by blood clotting - all daughters are healthy, boys - 1:1.

V. Problems on linked inheritance

1 . A - smooth grains,

a - wrinkled grains.
B - colored grains,

b - uncolored grains.

R AABB x AABB

Since uniformity was obtained in the first generation (Mendel's first law), therefore, homozygotes were crossed, in F1 a diheterozygote was obtained, carrying dominant traits.

Since in the second generation an unequal number of phenotypic groups turned out, therefore, linked inheritance took place. Those phenotypic groups that are presented in large numbers are not crossovers, but groups that are presented in small numbers are crossovers formed from recombinant gametes in which linkage was broken due to crossing over in meiosis.

2. A- colored seed a- not colored seed B- starchy endosperm b- waxy endosperm seed, starch endosperm 42- Aavv- okr. seed, wax endosperm 44- aaBv- unstained seed, starchy endosperm 10- aavb- unstained seed waxy endosperm The presence in the offspring of two groups (42 - with colored waxy endosperm; 44 - with unstained waxy endosperm) in approximately equal proportions - the result of linked inheritance of alleles A and B , a and B among themselves. The other two phenotypic groups are formed as a result of crossing over.

    A - smooth seeds,

a - wrinkled seeds
B - the presence of antennae,

b - without antennae
