Heredity, Genetics, &
Evolution
Knowledge of genetic
mechanisms came as a result of
careful laboratory experiments
over the last century and a half
Hybrids Through Breeding
For thousands of years farmers
and herders have been
selectively breeding their plants
and animals in order to produce
more productive hybrids.
It was somewhat of a hit or miss
process since the actual
mechanisms governing
inheritance were unknown.

Genetic Principles
Discovered by Mendel
Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) laid down
the basic principles of heredity.
Crossed different strains of purebred plants and studied
their progeny.
Worked with common garden peas and considered only
one trait at a time.
His work illustrates the basic rules of inheritance.
Heredity
Mendel's research was with plants,
but the basic underlying principles of
heredity also apply to people and
other animals.
The mechanisms of heredity are
essentially the same for all complex
life forms.
Mendel’s Experiments
Mendel picked common garden
pea plants for the focus of his
research because they can be
grown easily in large numbers
and their reproduction can be
manipulated.
Today, bacterium and fruit flies
are generally used for lab testing
because they reproduce multiple
generations very rapidly.
Generational Changes
In cross-pollinating plants that either produce yellow or
green peas exclusively, Mendel found that the first
offspring generation (f1) always has yellow peas.
\
However, the following generation (f2) consistently has a
3:1 ratio of yellow to green.
This ratio is the key to understanding
the basic mechanisms of inheritance.
Three important conclusions:
That the inheritance of each trait is determined by "units"
or "factors" (now called genes) that are passed on to
descendents unchanged.
That an individual inherits one such unit from each
parent for each trait.
That a trait may not show up in an individual but can still
be passed on to the next generation.
Homozygous and Heterozygous
The parent plants were homozygous for pea color - they
each had two identical forms (or alleles) of the gene: 2
yellows or 2 greens.
The plants in the f1 generation were all heterozygous for
pea color - they each had inherited two different alleles
(one from each parent plant).
Genotype and Phenotype
It becomes clearer when we
look at the actual genetic
makeup (genotype)…
…of the pea plants instead
of only the observable
physical characteristics
(phenotype).
Classical Genetics
Animations 1-5:
Children Resemble Their Parents 1.
Genes Come in Pairs 2.
Genes Don’t Blend 3.
Some Genes are Dominant 4.
Genetic Inheritance Follows Rules 5.
Mendel's observations can be
summarized in two principles:
1. The principle of segregation:
For any particular trait, the pair of alleles of each parent separate and
only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring.
2. The principle of independent assortment.
Different pairs of alleles are passed to offspring independently of each
other with the result that new combinations of genes present in neither
parent are possible.
The Principle of Segregation
Genes occur in pairs because
chromosomes occur in pairs.
During gamete production,
members of each gene pair
separate so each gamete
contains one member of a pair.
During fertilization, the full
number of chromosomes is
restored and members of a gene
or allele pair are reunited.
Segregation of cells
The Principle of
Independent Assortment
The distribution of one
pair of alleles into
gametes does not
influence the distribution
of another pair.
The genes controlling
different traits are
inherited independently
of one another.
The genes for
independently assorted
traits are located on
different chromosomes

Finding Disease Genes
Mendelian Inheritance in
Humans
Over 4,500 human trains are known to be inherited
according to Mendelian principles.
The human ABO blood system is an example of a simple
Mendelian inheritance.
The A and B alleles are dominant to the O allele.
Neither the A or B allele are dominant to one another; They are
codominant and both traits are expressed.
Inherited Genetic Disorders
Genetic disorders can be inherited as dominant or
recessive traits.
Dominant disorders are inherited when one copy of a
dominant allele is present.
Recessive disorders require the presence of two copies
of the recessive allele.
Recessive conditions that affect humans: cystic fibrosis,
Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell anemia, and albinism.

A Family Disease
Polygenic Inheritance
Polygenic traits are continuous
traits governed by alleles at more
than one genetic locus.
Continuous traits show gradations,
there is a series of measurable
intermediate forms between two
extremes.
Skin color is a common example of
a polygenic trait it is governed by 6
loci and at least 12 alleles.

Mendelian Laws Apply to Human Beings
Heredity and Evolution
Evolution works at four levels:
Molecular
Cellular
Individual
Population
The levels reflect different aspects of evolution and are
integrated in a way that produces evolutionary change.
Mutation and Evolution
Mutation is a molecular alteration in
genetic material:
For a mutation to have evolutionary
significance it must occur in a gamete
(sex cell).
Such mutations will be carried on one
of the individual's chromosomes.
During meiosis the chromosome
carrying the mutation will assort giving
a 50% chance of passing the allele to
an offspring.
Mutation is a failure
in gene repair.
A Mutation Story
A genetic mutation affecting the
population of Africa
The Modern Synthesis
Evolution is a two-stage process:
1.
2.
The production and redistribution of variation (inherited differences
between individuals).
Natural selection acting on this variation (whereby inherited
differences, or variation, among individuals differentially affect their
ability to reproduce successfully).
New Technologies
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) makes it possible to
analyze and identify DNA as small as one molecule and
produce multiple copies of the original DNA.
Recombinant DNA techniques allow scientists to transfer
genes from the cells of one species into the cells of
another.
Genetic manipulation is controversial due to safety and
environmental concerns.

Research QuestionWhat are the factors contributing to the rising levels of antibiotic resistance in the U.S
and how can this health issue be mitigated?This week, you will submit a draft poster presentation of your theoretical research study.Your final project is based upon the work you've done all semester. This project is the culmination of your research question, your literature reviews, your sampling methods and study design, as well as your questions from your questionnaire. Each weekly assignment adds to your final project. All of that information should be included on the poster.Restate your research question.List and include your sampling/methods, questionnaire and other relevant elements from previous weeks' assignments.Choose a professional association with an upcoming conference and determine the requirements for a poster presentation. Here are some examples of associations for which you can review their conference poster presentation requirements:APIC http://www.apic.org/IDSA https://www.idsociety.org/SHEA http://www.shea-online.org/ID Week http://www.idweek.org/APHA https://www.apha.org/AACN http://www.aacn.org/AORN http://www.aorn.org/If you have other healthcare associations that you prefer to use, that is fine, too.For the selected association, determine how well your poster presentation meets their requirements, and discuss this in your Week 8 video presentation.Create a draft submission for the conference you choose using one of these poster templates:Poster Template 1Poster Template 2Poster Template 3Be sure that your poster is easily readable and visually appealing with engaging graphical elements such as graphs or figures. It is easiest to create the poster in Powerpoint - as one slide; use one of the templates provided, but feel free to arrange the content as you see fit. The more content you include from your assignments, your text readings, and even the NIH online training course, the better.Your poster presentation must follow APA formatting and citation.This week’s assignment is a draft submission of your final signature assignment.Sample Poster 1Sample Poster 2
