DOMINANCE
GENETICS PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION TO
GENETICS
“Genetics is the study of genes, genetc
variations and heridity in organisms.”
Genetics has following main preiods:
Pre Mendelian period
Mendelian period
Post Mendelian period
Modern Genetics
PRE MENDELIAN GENETICS
APPROVED THEORIES

THEORY OF EPIGENISIS GERMOPLASM THEORY

Sperms and eggs are Germoplasm or Germ
undifferentiated. cells take part in
After fertilizaton cells sexual reproduction.
are differentiated into Somatoplasm or
organs and body parts vegetative cells donot
take part in sexual
reproduction.
MENDEL LAWS
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent
Assortment
Mendel was lucky
Studied pea plant for 11
years.
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

Carl Correns discovered incomplete dominance

Both alleles are partially expressed

VS
THE LIGHT VIOLET
COLOR OF
EGGPLANTS
FEATHERS IN
ANDALUSIAN
FOWL
WAVY HAIR IN
HUMANS
MOLECULAR MECHANISM

1. Gene expression levels

Different levels of mRNA

2. Protien function and activity
Different structure or function.
3. Dominance-Recessiveness
Relationship
Neither allele fully masks other
IMPORTANCE
Phenotypic variations
Gentic diversity
Evolutionary significance
Functional relevance
APPLICATIONS

Leaf shape in cotton

Fruit size in tomatoes
Wool color in sheep
Aquaculture
