What can be INHERITED? TRAITS
3
Why LOOK at inheritance?
Can predict DISORDERS Pedigree analysis Inheritance patterns Phenotypes Genotypes
4
Information about INHERITANCE
Inheritance may be studied by looking at: Karyotypes Pedigrees Physical traits to determine genotypes Patterns: sex-influenced, X-chromosome inactivation Heterozygous advantage Mistakes in meiosis (nondisjunction) Prenatal genetic screening
5
LOOKING BACK… HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES = Chromosomes that are the same size and have the same gene sequence PAIRS of homologous chromosomes have 2 different alleles of the same gene, located at the gene locus
6
Karyotypes Looking at chromosomes
KARYOTYPE = Display of condensed chromosomes arranged in pairs
7
Karyotypes REMEMBER ~ Each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids joined at the centromere; karyotype shows chromosome pairs MAKING A KARYOTYPE: Pictures are taken during meiosis Pictures are cut and arranged to show all pairs of chromosomes in one view
8
Sex Determination 22 pairs are autosomes (the same for everyone!)
1 pair determines sex (male or female) XX pair = female XY pair = male SEX-DETERMINING CHROMOSOMES NOTE: This shows both X and Y as single types, but they are present as a PAIR! (XX or XY)

10
MISTAKES during meiosis
NONDISJUNCTION = Paired chromosomes do not properly separate during cell division
11
NONDISJUNCTION can occur during Meiosis I OR Meiosis II, causing different effects:
12
VIDEO: Chromosomal Disorders
13
Down Syndrome Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. This is called trisomy
14
Downs Syndrome Affects 1 in every 800-1000 babies
Caused by NONDISJUNCTION Caused by TRISOMY in chromosome 21
15
Turner Syndrome Turner Syndrome = chromosomal disorder in which female is born with only ONE ‘X’ chromosome
16
Turner Syndrome What happens when a female has only ONE X chromosome?
SYMPTOMS: Short stature Webbed neck Swollen hands and feet Spots on skin Underdeveloped ovaries; no menstruation; infertility
17
Klinefelter Syndrome Klinefelter Syndrome = Chromosomal disorder in which individuals have TWO ‘X’ chromosomes and ONE ‘Y’ chromosome
18
Klinefelter Syndrome What happens when an individual has XXY sex chromosomes? SYMPTOMS: Tall; long lets Poor muscle tone Female breasts Small testicular size Poor or no male hair growth
19
Williams Syndrome Williams Syndrome = autosomal dominant disorder in which several of specific genes) are DELETED from chromosome 7 NOT inherited Caused by mistake in formation of gametes Only needs 1 chromosome with deletion(s) to cause disease Occurs every 1/10,000 births
20
Williams Syndrome SYMPTOMS: Low birth weight
Characteristic facial features Cardiovascular disease Excessively social personality Developmental delays; learning disorders
21
SEX DETERMINATION During segregation, egg and sperm cells get one sex chromosome, X or Y OFFSPRING: 50% MALE 50% FEMALE
22
SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS
Some inherited traits are located on the sex chromosomes = sex-influenced traits (also called sex-linked) Traits located on the X chromosome Are usually recessive FEMALES can have 3 phenotypes, including carrier (heterozygous genotype) MALES have only ONE X chromosome if the X chromosome has the recessive allele, the male WILL express the trait!
23
SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS EXAMPLE: Colorblindness
A recessive trait carried on the X chromosome KEY: XB = Dominant, Normal Xb = Recessive, Colorblind Males have only one X chromosome, so if the X has the recessive gene, then they are colorblind!
24
SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS EXAMPLE: Colorblindness
A recessive trait carried on the X chromosome KEY: XB = Dominant, Normal Xb = Recessive, Colorblind Males have only one X chromosome, so if the X has the recessive gene, then they are colorblind!
25
SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS EXAMPLE: Male pattern Baldness
A recessive trait carried on the X chromosome
26
SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS EXAMPLE: Male pattern Baldness
A recessive trait carried on the X chromosome KEY: XB = Dominant, Normal Xb = Recessive, Baldness
27
Hemophilia ~ Sex-linked disorder
28
SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS YOU TRY IT!
Hemophilia = bleeding disorder where blood does not clot normally XH Xh KEY: XH = Dominant, Normal Xh = Recessive, hemophilia X * What is the ratio for the offspring (phenotype/genotype)? * What are the phenotypes of the parents? Y
