LECTURE NOTES
 Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
 A trait or a character is a feature of an organism.
 Genes are sections of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein.
 Genes on each chromosome are arranged in a particular sequence, and each gene has a specific location on the chromosome called locus
(plural, loci).
 Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person’s genes.
 Histones provide support to a chromosome to be packed in the nucleus of the cell.
 Each chromosome has constriction point which is called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into 2 sections or “arms”. The
short arm of chromosome is labelled the “p arm”. The long arm of chromosome is labelled the “q arm”.
 Boveri and Sutton’s chromosome theory of inheritance states that genes are found at specific locations on chromosomes, and that the
behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can explain Gregor Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
 Observations that support the chromosome theory of inheritance are the following:
 Chromosomes come in homologous or matched pairs in an organism. One member of the pair of genes and chromosomes comes from the
mother and one from the father. 
 The members of a homologous pair separate in meiosis. This process is just like the segregation of alleles into gametes in Mendel's law of
segregation. 
 The chromosomes and their related genes are sorted into gametes independently just like the alleles of different genes in Mendel's  law of
independent assortment.
 DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the genetic material that carries the hereditary information.
 Each nucleotide is made up of three parts: a nitrogen-containing ring structure called a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and at least
one phosphate group.
 Each nucleotide in DNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

NON-MENDELIAN GENETICS
The inheritance of some characteristics are not as simple as those that were studied by Mendel in his garden pea plants. That’s why
geneticists usually call them those that violate Mendel’s principles. They are associated with phenomena such as codominance, incomplete
dominance, multiple alleles, and sex-linked traits (to be discussed on the next module). 
Incomplete Dominance is the expression of blended (or intermediate) traits in a heterozygous individual or offspring. The blended traits are
coded for by two alleles inherited from both parents. Each of the two homozygous genotypes (refers to the parents) shows a different
phenotype since they are still distinct and separated from each other.
Points to Remember in Incomplete Dominance:
 Only the phenotype of the heterozygote is blended (or intermediate).
 The alleles of the parents (which, in this case, are red and white-flowered plants) are still distinct and separate from each other.
 The genotypic ratio also becomes the phenotypic ratio since half of the gametes of the offspring carry half of both the parents.

Codominance is another form of inheritance in which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote offspring are fully expressed or exhibited. As
a result, the offspring’s phenotype is the combination of the parent’s phenotypes. Therefore, the trait is neither dominant nor recessive.
Points to Remember in Codominance:
 The phenotype of the heterozygote is a combination of the phenotypes of the homozygous parents.
 The trait is neither dominant nor recessive.
 Just like in incomplete dominance, the genotypic ratio becomes the phenotypic ratio.

Multiple Alleles, a specific gene pair is controlled by more than two alleles. Thus, there are more than two phenotypes that are exhibited or
expressed in the offspring. The ABO Blood Group system is the most common example of the character governed by this inheritance.

Points to Remember in Multiple Alleles:

 There are more than two alleles controlling a gene pair.
 More than two phenotypes are exhibited or expressed in the offsprings.
 In the ABO Blood Group system:
 Alleles IA and IB are codominant of each other
 Alleles IA and IB are dominant over the i allele
 Allele i i is always recessive.

 Human blood types are determined by genes that follow the CODOMINACE pattern of inheritance. There are two dominant alleles A & B (IA & IB) and one recessive
allele O (i)
