A Family Tree
To understand how traits are passed on from generation to generation, a pedigree, or a diagram that shows the relationships within a family, is used. In a pedigree, a circle represents a female, and a square represents a male. A filled-in circle or square shows that the individual has the trait being studied. The horizontal line that connects a circle and a square represents a marriage. The vertical line(s) and brackets below that line show the child(ren) of that couple.

A half-shaded circle or square indicates that a person is a carrier of the trait.
A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a person neither expresses the trait nor is a carrier of the trait.
A completely shaded circle or square indicates that a person expresses the trait.

7. Figure 14-8 The Cause of Cystic Fibrosis
Section 14-1
Chromosome # 7
CFTR gene
The most common allele that causes cystic fibrosis is missing 3 DNA bases. As a result, the amino acid phenylalanine is missing from the CFTR protein.
Normal CFTR is a chloride ion channel in cell membranes. Abnormal CFTR cannot be transported to the cell membrane.
The cells in the person’s airways are unable to transport chloride ions. As a result, the airways become clogged with a thick mucus.

Section 14-2
Gender Benders
You may remember that in humans, the sperm cells may carry an X chromosome or a Y chromosome, while egg cells have only X chromosomes. Sometimes, errors during meiosis in one of the parents produce offspring with an abnormal number of sex chromosomes.

Section 14-3
Bioethics and You
As you become more aware of scientific advances in genetics, you might realize that with the ability to manipulate genes, there comes responsibility. This ability provides an opportunity to improve the lives of many people. But there is also a potential for errors or intentional misuse of the technology.

Working with a partner, answer the following questions.
1. In what type of situation do you think genetic engineering—changing the genes of organisms—is warranted? Explain your reasoning about your position. If you do not think that genetic engineering is ever warranted, explain your reasons for your position.
2. In what type of situation do you think genetic engineering might be misused? Suggest limits that might be placed on the manipulation of genes to avoid its misuse.

Section 14-3
Restriction enzyme
Chromosomes contain large amounts of DNA called repeats that do not code for proteins. This DNA varies from person to person. Here, one sample has 12 repeats between genes A and B, while the second sample has 9 repeats.
Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA into fragments containing genes and repeats. Note that the repeat fragments from these two samples are of different lengths.
The DNA fragments are separated according to size using gel electrophoresis. The fragments containing repeats are then labeled using radioactive probes. This produces a series of bands—the DNA fingerprint.

1. On a sheet of paper, construct a Punnett square for the following cross: XX x XY. Fill in the Punnett square. What does the Punnett square represent? According to the Punnett square, what percentage of the offspring from this genetic cross will be males? What percentage will be females?
One half of the offspring will be males; the other half, females.
2. On a sheet of paper, construct a Punnett square for the following cross: XXX x XY. Fill in the Punnett square. How is this Punnett square different from the first one you constructed? What might have caused this difference?
One of the gametes has two X chromosomes instead of just one. This might have resulted from a mistake in meiosis: Instead of separating, the pair of X chromosomes stayed together.
3. How do the offspring in the two Punnett squares differ?
Instead of two XX and two XY offspring, there are one XX and one XY (which are normal), plus one XXX and one XXY (which are abnormal).

Students’ answers likely will include medicinal uses of genetic engineering, such as gene therapy for genetic diseases and production of needed substances such as insulin. Some students may object to all genetic manipulations.
2. In what type of situation do you think genetic engineering might be misused? Suggest limits that might be placed on the manipulation of genes to avoid its misuse.
Students’ answers may include the “designing” of human babies with desirable traits and the cloning of humans. Some students may object to genetically altered foods.
