Honors Biology Chapter 7 Beyond Mendelian Genetics
Many Human Phenotypes Follow Mendelian Pattern One gene / two alleles = 1 trait
Genetic Disorders Rare heritable illnesses Most lethal disorders are recessive
Cystic Fibrosis
Huntington’s Disease – Dominant
Some Deleterious Genes Are Sex-Linked X-linked Recessive – Hemophilia (Bleeders Disease)
Hemophilia
X-linked Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa
Non-Mendelian Genetics Complex Patterns of Inheritence Traits do not segregate according to Mendel’s Laws – X inactivation – Incomplete Dominance – Codominance – Polygenic Traits Epistasis – Multiple Alleles – Environmental Influences – Others
X-Inactivation
Epistasis
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Multiple Alelles
Sex-linked Traits
Polygenic Traits
Gene Linkage
Karyotypes Prepared from blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, placenta
Karyotypes
Karyotypes Detect Abnormal #
Karyotypes Detect Structural Defects
