Genetics & Heredity Sections VIII - end
2
Human Genome Project In 2003, the mapping of the human genome was considered completed at 99% given the current technology of the times Increased processes continue to develop easier sequencing and identification methods Example: 23 and me - Your personal genetic report
3
See Information in notes and the following Examples and Problems
Human Inheritance See Information in notes and the following Examples and Problems
4
Dominant/Recessive Polydactyly: Dominant PKU: Recessive
Cystic Fibrosis: Recessive
5
Some Examples of human traits on link & following slides
10 Human traits exhibiting complete dominance Some Examples of human traits on link & following slides
6
Attached Lobe Unattached Lobe
Unattached Earlobe—dominant—chromosome 21
7
Cheek Dimples Cheek Dimples Dominant---Chromosome 5
8
Widow's Peak Widow’s peak --- dominant---chromosome 4
9
Straight Thumb is dominant---chromosome 17
Hitchhiker's Thumb Regular Thumb Straight Thumb is dominant---chromosome 17
10
Mid-digital Hair is dominant. Carried on chromosome 10
11
Freckles –dominant Carried on chromosome 9
12
Long Second Toe Dominant---Chromosome 20 TT or Tt
Short Second Toe Long Second Toe Long Second Toe Dominant---Chromosome TT or Tt
13
Tongue Rolling Dominant---on chromosome RR, Rr
14
Cleft Chin Dominant—on chromosome 16 CC, Cc
15
Incomplete Dominance Blending: Red and White flowers R=Red W=White
RW=Pink
16
Codominance Sickle Cell Anemia AA=Normal SS=Sickle Cell disease
SA= Sickle Cell Trait (Resist Malaria)
17
Multiple Alleles Blood Type: Type A=AA, AO Type B=BB, BO Type O=OO
Type AB=AB
18
Polygenic Produced by interaction of several genes
Show wide ranges of phenotypes Example: human skin and hair color and other complex traits
19
SKIN COLOR
21
Sex linked inheritance
22
Sex Linked Sex Chromosomes X & Y Female=XX Male=XY
Colorblindness: X linked recessive Hemophilia: Duchenne M.D. Male Baldness
23
Barr Body Barr body – inactivated X chromosome in females
Prevents cell from being “overloaded” on proteins made by X chromosome
24
Genes Genes alone do not determine phenotype. They only determine our maximum genetic potential. Environmental factors also affect appearance: nutrition, exercise, healthy practices
25
Pedigrees Notes information in your booklet
26
Karyotypes
27
Normal Karyotypes arrangement of chromosomes in pairs by size starting with the longest pair and ending with the sex chromosomes Can be used to detect genetic disorders caused by non-disjunction of chromosomes during meiosis
28
Non-disjunction
29
Normal Karyotypes
30
Karyotypes - Anomalies
