Genetics is the study of theMapping Between
Phenotype and Genotype
Genotype: Genetic state of an individual.
Phenotype: Physical state of an individual, i.e.,size, shape, behavior, physiology.

Yy
yy
Our Goal: To understand the “population consequences”Of Mendel’s Laws.
Question 1: How do we describe a Mendelian populationin evolutionary terms?
Question 2: How is a population with Mendelian inheritancedifferent from a population with Blending Inheritance?
Question 3: What effect does reproduction have on the heritable variation in a Mendelian population?
Question 1: How do we describe a Mendelian population?
TWO Possibilities for the description:1. List all the different genetic kinds of individuals.2. List all the different kinds of genes.
Three kinds of Individuals:
YY individuals
Yy individuals
yy individuals
Two kinds of Genes:
Y and y
Genetic Terms
Allele: a type of gene. For example, for seed color, thereare two types of genes, Y and y. Y and y are alleles of the seed color gene.
Dominant Allele: Y is the dominant allele.Recessive Allele: y is the recessive allele.
Genotype: Genetic state of an individual.
Phenotype: Physical state of an individual.
YY Yy yy
YY Yy
Genetic Terms for Genes
Allele: a type of gene. For example, for seed color, thereare two types of genes, Y and y. Y and y are alleles of the seed color gene.
How Many Alleles can one gene have?
More than 285 alleles for cattle coat color gene!More than 480 alleles for human blood group gene!
Polymorphism: A polymorphic gene has > 1 allele.
Genetic Terms for Individuals
Genotype: the genetic state of an individual. YY, Yy, and yy are seed color genotypes.
Haploid individuals have one allele of each gene.
Diploid individuals have two alleles for each gene.

Genetic Terms for Individuals
Species with Haploid individuals (one allele of each gene):
1. Bacteria and viruses2. Males in the bees, ants, and wasps. 3. Male mammals are haploid for all genes on the
X-chromosome: Males Xy but Females XX
Species with Diploid individuals:1. Insects2. Mammals3. Birds4. Plants.
Genetic Terms for IndividualsHaplo-diploid female individuals have two alleles for each gene, but males have only one allele. These include Hymenoptera: the bees, ants, wasps.
Females Males
Triploid individuals have three alleles for each gene. These include some parthenogenic frogs, lizards, and weevils.
Tetraploid individuals have four alleles for each gene. These include many varieties of ornamental and agricultural plants, like sunflowers, mums.

More Genetic Terms for Individuals
Diploid Individuals: Mendel’s peas and humans for the autosomal genes!
Homozygous Genotype: YY and yy individuals. These individuals have two copies of the same allele.
Heterozygous Genotype: Yy individuals. These individuals have two different alleles, Y and y.
How many Genotypes are there?
Answer depends upon how many alleles there are at each gene and upon how many genes you are describing.
Genetic Terms for Diploid Individuals
How many one-gene diploid Genotypes are there?
Alleles Genotypes 1 allele, Y1 1 genotype: Y1Y1
2 alleles, Y1 and Y2 3 genotypes: Y1Y1, Y1Y2, Y2Y2
Question: If there were a gene with 3 alleles, Y1, Y2, Y3, How Many Diploid Genotypes could exist?
Genetic Terms for Diploid Individuals
How many one-gene diploid Genotypes are there?
Alleles Genotypes 3 alleles, Y1, Y2, Y3 6 genotypes: Y1Y1, Y1Y2, Y1Y3

How many one-gene diploid Genotypes are there?

How many Human Genotypes are there?
Estimated 26,000 genes in the human genome.
Each gene has a minimum of 10 alleles or (10)(10 + 1)/ 2 = 55 genotypes per gene.
5526,000 >>>>>>>>> 6 x 109 people now on Earth
Each human genotype is unique, never occurred beforeand will never occur again in human history.(Not even with cloning!)
Describing a Mendelian Population with N diploid individuals, where N = an integer number.
There are TWO Possible Descriptions:1. List all the different genetic kinds of individuals,
i.e., list all genotypes.
2. List all the different kinds of genes, i.e., list all the alleles at all the genes.
Population of Genes is described in terms of Gene Frequencies. If there are two seed color genes, Y and y, the frequency of the
Y allele is represented as
pY = (Number of Y genes)/(Total Size 2N)
py = (Number of y genes)/(Total Size 2N)
pY + py = 1.0
Question: Why is the denominator 2N?
Populations of Genotypes: Described in terms of Genotype Frequencies. If there are three seed color genotypes, YY, Yy, and yy, the genotype frequency
of YY is represented GYY = (Number of YY genotypes)/(Total Size, N)
GYy = (Number of Yy genotypes)/(Total Size, N)
Gyy = (Number of yy genotypes)/(Total Size, N)
GYY + GYy + Gyy = 1.0
Question: Why is the denominator N?
Populations of Genes from Populations of Genotypes pY = {(2)(Number of YY) + (1)(Number of Yy)}/(2N)
pY = (2)(Number of YY)/(2N) + (Number of Yy)/(2N)
pY = GYY + (1/2) GYy
py = {(2)(Number of yy) + (1)(Number of Yy)}/(2N)
pY = (2)(Number of yy)/(2N) + (Number of Yy)/(2N)
pY = Gyy + (1/2) GYy

The Mating System determines how frequent each of the different Mendelian families is relative to the other families. The Mating System describes howindividuals find their mates and provides a rule fordetermining the frequencies of the Mendelian Families.
Many different Mating Systems are possible: Monogamy = “one mate per individual”Polygyny = “several females per male”Polyandry = “several males per female”Positive Assortative Mating = “like mates with like”Negative Assortative Mating = “opposites attract”Random Mating
