S3: HEREDITY E1: SEX-LINKED TRAITS
Objective: Explain how autosomal and sex chromosomes genes affect phenotypes differently. GRAB YOUR NOTEBOOK. ANNOTATE AND WRITE YOUR CER PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE ARTICLE IN YOUR NOTEBOOK.
2
I. CHROMOSOMES AND PHENOTYPES
3
I. CHROMOSOMES AND PHENOTYPES
Two copies of each autosomal gene affect phenotype
4
I. CHROMOSOMES AND PHENOTYPES
Two copies of each autosomal gene affect phenotype Autosomes are chromosomes 1-22
5
I. CHROMOSOMES AND PHENOTYPES
Two copies of each autosomal gene affect phenotype Autosomes are chromosomes 1-22 A human has 22 pairs of autosomes
6
I. CHROMOSOMES AND PHENOTYPES
Two copies of each autosomal gene affect phenotype Autosomes are chromosomes 1-22 A human has 22 pairs of autosomes Autosomes DO NOT affect gender

2. People can be carriers for a disease
8
2. People can be carriers for a disease
A heterozygote for a recessive disorder is a carrier
9
2. People can be carriers for a disease
A heterozygote for a recessive disorder is a carrier
10
2. People can be carriers for a disease
A heterozygote for a recessive disorder is a carrier Dominant allele disorders are uncommon

B. Males and females differ in sex-linked traits
12
B. Males and females differ in sex-linked traits
1. Genes on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes
13
B. Males and females differ in sex-linked traits
1. Genes on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes Y chromosome genes in mammals are responsible for male characteristics
14
B. Males and females differ in sex-linked traits
1. Genes on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes Y chromosome genes in mammals are responsible for male characteristics X chromosome genes are important in mammals
15
B. Males and females differ in sex-linked traits
1. Genes on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes Y chromosome genes in mammals are responsible for male characteristics X chromosome genes are important in mammals
16
2. Male mammals have an XY genotype
17
2. Male mammals have an XY genotype
All of a male’s sex linked genes are expressed
18
3. Female mammals have an XX genotype
19
3. Female mammals have an XX genotype
Expression of sex-linked genes is similar to autosomal genes in females since they have two copies
