3. Color blindness is a sex-linked trait in humans In humans, the X chromosome has about 5,000 genes while the Y chromosome has only 30 genes –Females are XX, males are XY –There is no locus on the Y chromosome for the color vision/color blindness trait –Color blindness is far more prevalent in males because there is not a second allele to mask the recessive allele that causes color blindness

10. Sex determination in Drosophila Although males have an X and a Y chromosome, the Y chromosome does not determine the sex of a fruit fly Rather, the number of X chromosomes determines the sex –Fruitflies with two X chromosomes become female –Fruitflies with one X chromosome become male –Through nondisjunction, a fruitfly with only an X chromosome but no Y will become male; a fruitfly with two X chromosomes and a Y chromosome will become female

11. Sex Determination in Birds Female is heterogametic sex

12. Sex determination in honeybees Diploid individuals are females Haploid individuals are males

13. In some reptiles, sex determination is environmental Some species of turtles –Above 32 o C, females produced –Below 28 o C, males produced –Between 28 and 32 o C, mixture of males and females However, snapping turtle eggs incubated either below 20 o C or above 30 o C are female; males produced predominantly in between temperatures Note that although environmental factors trigger the sexual developmental pathway, the pathways themselves are under genetic control

Results: There are four kinds of gametes rather than two due to occurrence of two recombinant genotypes.

Crossing over almost always occurs between distant loci, so recombinations are frequent. 0 : Yellow body 1.4 : White eyes Map units 0 : Yellow body 1.4 : White eyes 20 : Cut wings Figure 10.16 Chromosomes are composed of genes The physical distance between loci determines the frequency of crossing over. Frequency of crossing can be used to map physical between loci. Linkage map
