Probability: normal(25%) and affected(25%) chance.Parents of affected individual are heterozygous or also have the trait(carriers).Affected males and females can transmit the trait, unless it causes death before reproductive age.Autosomal dominant inheritance: when a parent is affected and the other is not,each offspring has a 50% probability of inheriting the mutant allele and the condition.Ĭriteria for an autosomal recessive trait:.Transmission stops if a generation arises in which no one is affected.Male and female transmit the trait with equal frequency.Both males and females can be affected.Mendel’s second law which can predict the probability that a child will inherit a Mendelian trait,applies anew to each child.Ĭriteria (features) for an autosomal dominant:.Mendelian trait or single gene disorder can be in herited in five ways : autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X linked dominant, X linked recessive and Y linked.Mode of inheritance reveal whether a Mendelian trait is dominant or recessive and whether the gene that controls it is carried on an autosome or a sex chromosome.A Mendelian trait is caused by a single gene.A hereditary disease or trait transmitted by a single gene is called Mendelian trait.Rare exceptions to this rule can occur when two allelic genes fail to separate because of chromosome nondisjunction at the first meiotic division.Refers to the observation that each individual possesses two genes for a particular characteristic,only one of which can be transmitted at any one time.Pure bred tall(TT) X Pure bred short(tt) F1 Generation Tt Tt Tt Tt Mendal’s second law: Law of segregation The characteristics do not blend and reappear in the later generation.Įg. When two homozygotes with different alleles are crossed, all the offsprings of the F1 (first filial) generation are identical and heterogygous. Mosiac: an individual with two different cell lines derived from a single zygote.
