Why is it impossible to have a “carrier” of an autosomal dominant disorder?
KEY CONCEPT The chromosomes on which genes are located can affect the expression of traits.

2. KEY CONCEPT The chromosomes on which genes are located can affect the expression of traits.

3. Many human genetic disorders are caused by autosomal genes, and can be predicted the same as flower color, or Pea shape
Autosomal genetic disorders: disorders that have no relation to the sex of an individual
Can be male or female in equal porportions
Ex: Albinism

4. Autosomal recessive disorder: Any offspring with two recessive genes (cc) will have the disease/disorder
C c CC Cc
Ex: Cystic Fibrosis C c Cc cc
Disorder

5. A carrier is heterozygous (Cc) for a recessive disorder and does not show any signs or symptoms, but can pass on the disorder to their offspring
C c CC Cc
Ex: Cystic Fibrosis C
*carrier c Cc cc
*carrier

It can lead to the person having no cheekbones (so the eyes droop), and they may also have a cleft palate and under developed ears.

19. 7.1 Chromosomes and Phenotype: Sex-linked Genes

Topic: 7.1 Chromosomes and Phenotype: Sex-linked Genes
Essential Questions:
1. Describe how Sex-linked genes are expressed differently in men than women.

1. Describe how Sex-linked genes are expressed differently in men than women.

20. Genes on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes.
Y chromosome genes in mammals are responsible for male characteristics.
X chromosome genes in mammals affect many traits.

21. Sex chromosomes: determine gender
Gene expression is often related to whether a gene is located on an autosome or a sex chromosome
Sex chromosomes: determine gender
Autosomes: all other chromosomes- no relation to gender
All genes that Mendel studied were autosomes
Most traits are the result of autosomal genes

22. Because the X and Y chromosomes have different genes, sex-linked genes have a pattern of expression that is different from autosomal genes

23. Only 1 Y, and 1 X
because Males have no second copies of sex-linked genes ALL of a male’s sex-linked genes are expressed
So even if all the sex-linked genes of a male are recessive, they will be expressed

24. Female mammals have an XX genotype.
Expression of sex-linked genes is similar to autosomal genes in females.
X chromosome inactivation randomly “turns off” one X chromosome
ensures that females, like males, have one functional copy of the X chromosome in each body cell

25. X Chromosome inactivation example:
Tortoiseshell and Calico Cats (always female)
The female cats have white fur; and black (b) or orange fur (B) alleles on their X Chromosomes- these will be expressed randomly
Males have white fur; and one sex-linked gene for either black (b) or orange (B) fur X

26. X b X b B b
X X
X-chromosome inactivation X B
Black Y

27. X b X b B b
X X
X-chromosome inactivation X B
Orange Y

28. X b X b B b B
X X
X X b X B b
X Y b
X Y Y

29. Males only have one X chromosome so one color will be present (recessive OR dominant)
Female cats have two X chromosomes.
Each patch of fur can be different depending on which X chromosome “turns off”
