Chromosomes, Genes & Proteins

  • Inheritance is the transmission of genetic information from generation to generation.
  • Chromosomes are thread-like structures of DNA in the nucleus, carrying genes.
  • A gene is a short length of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific protein.
  • Alleles are different versions of the same gene; individuals inherit two alleles (one from each parent).
  • The sequence of bases in a gene determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

The Inheritance of Sex

  • Sex is determined by the sex chromosomes: XX = female, XY = male.
  • The father determines the sex of offspring because he can pass on either an X or a Y chromosome.
  • Half of sperm carry X, half carry Y; if an X sperm fertilises the egg, the baby is female (XX); if a Y sperm, male (XY).
  • A Punnett square with X and Y chromosomes shows a 1:1 ratio of male:female offspring.

Protein Synthesis (Extended)

  • Transcription: DNA base code is copied onto mRNA in the nucleus.
  • Translation: mRNA attaches to a ribosome; the ribosome reads codons (triplets) and assembles amino acids.
  • tRNA brings specific amino acids to the ribosome, matching anticodons to mRNA codons.
  • The amino acid chain folds to form a functional protein (e.g., enzyme, antibody).

Protein synthesis

Protein synthesis

Which Proteins are Synthesised? (Extended)

  • Gene expression controls whether a gene is transcribed/translated in a cell.
  • Most genes are 'switched off' to save energy; only essential genes are expressed.
  • All body cells contain the same genes, but different cells express different genes.
  • DNA controls cell function by directing protein production.

Mitosis

  • Mitosis is nuclear division producing two genetically identical daughter cells.
  • Chromosomes duplicate before division, then line up and are pulled apart.
  • Used for growth, repair, replacement of cells, and asexual reproduction.
  • Daughter cells are diploid (same chromosome number as parent).

Mitosis

Meiosis (Extended)

  • Meiosis is a reduction division producing four haploid gametes (genetically different).
  • Chromosomes duplicate, then the cell divides twice; homologous chromosomes separate in the first division.
  • Produces genetic variation via recombination and independent assortment.
  • Gametes (sperm, egg) have half the chromosome number of body cells.

Meiosis

Monohybrid Inheritance

  • Monohybrid inheritance involves a single gene with two alleles (dominant/recessive).
  • Genotype = allele combination; phenotype = observable characteristic.
  • Homozygous = two identical alleles; heterozygous = two different alleles.
  • A Punnett square predicts offspring genotypes and phenotypes; e.g., Tt × tt gives 1:1 tall:short.
  • Test cross (cross with recessive homozygote) reveals if a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous.

Homozygous and heterozygous chromosome pairs

Codominance & Sex-Linked Characteristics (Extended)

  • Codominance: both alleles contribute to phenotype (e.g., ABO blood groups: IA and IB are codominant).
  • Sex-linked genes are on the X chromosome; males (XY) are more likely to show recessive conditions (e.g., colour blindness).
  • Females can be carriers (heterozygous) and pass the allele to sons.
  • Punnett squares for sex-linked traits use X and Y chromosomes with alleles as superscripts.
