THE CHROMOSOMAL BASIS OF INHERITANCE CHAPTER 15
2
Warm up 1.What is the probability of the following? a.) Aabb X AaBb -> Aabb b.) AaBB X AaBb -> aaBB c.) AABbcc X aabbCC -> AaBbCc d.) AaBbCc X AaBbcc -> aabbcc 2. Explain what a linkage map is and a map unit. 3. Map the following gene. (pg 281 7 th ed.) J-k 12% k-L 6% J-m 9% L-m 15%
3
1.What is the pattern of inheritance of the trait (shaded square/circle) shown in the pedigree? 1.How many chromosomes are in a human cell that is: a) Diploid?b) Triploid? c) Monosomic?d) Trisomic? Warm-Up
4
What you must know: How the chromosome theory of inheritance connects the physical movement of chromosomes in meiosis to Mendel’s laws of inheritance. The unique pattern of inheritance in sex- linked genes. How alteration of chromosome number or structurally altered chromosomes (deletions, duplications, etc.) can cause genetic disorders. How genetic imprinting and inheritance of mitochondrial DNA are exceptions to standard Mendelian inheritance.
5
Chromosome theory of inheritance: Genes have specific locations (loci) on chromosomes Chromosomes segregate and assort independently Chromosomes tagged to reveal a specific gene (yellow).
6
Thomas Hunt Morgan Drosophila melanogaster – fruit fly – Fast breeding, 4 prs. chromosomes (XX/XY) Sex-linked gene: located on X or Y chromosome – Red-eyes = wild-type; white-eyes = mutant – Specific gene carried on specific chromosome
7
Sex determination varies between animals
8
Sex-linked genes Sex-linked gene on X or Y Females (XX), male (XY) – Eggs = X, sperm = X or Y Fathers pass X-linked genes to daughters, but not sons Males express recessive trait on the only X (hemizygous) Females can be affected or carrier
9
Transmission of sex-linked recessive traits Sperm Ova Sperm Ova Sperm Ova
10
Sex-linked disorders Colorblindness Duchenne muscular dystrophy Hemophilia
11
X-Inactivation Barr body = inactive X chromosome; regulate gene dosage in females during embryonic development Because of this only female cats can be tortoiseshell or calico.
12
Human development Y chromosome required for development of testes Embryo gonads indifferent at 2 months SRY gene: sex-determining region of Y Codes for protein that regulates other genes
13
Linked genes: located on same chromosome and tend to be inherited together during cell division
14
Genetic Recombination: production of offspring with new combo of genes from parents Unlinked genes: follow law of independent assortment – 50% frequency of recombination observed for any 2 genes on different chromosomes
15
Crossing over: explains why some linked genes get separated during meiosis further higher higher the further apart 2 genes on same chromosome, the higher the probability of crossing over and the higher the recombination frequency
16
Geneticists can use recombination data to map a chromosome's genetic loci
17
Linkage Map: genetic map that is based on % of cross-over events 1 map unit = 1% recombination frequency Express relative distances along chromosome 50% = far apart on same chromosome or on different chromosomes
18
Nondisjunction Nondisjunction: chromosomes fail to separate properly in Meiosis I or Meiosis II Aneuploidy: incorrect # chromosomes –Monosomy (1x) or Trisomy (3x) Polyploidy: 2+ complete sets of chromosomes; 3n or 4n –Rare in animals, frequent in plants A tetraploid mammal. Scientists think this species may have arisen when an ancestor doubled its chromosome # by errors in mitosis or meiosis.
19
Nondisjunction
20
The structure of an individual chromosome can be altered during DNA replication
21
Karyotyping can detect nondisjunctions. Down Syndrome = Trisomy 21
22
Karyotyping can detect nondisjunctions. Klinefelters Syndrome: 47XYY, 47XXY
23
Karyotyping can detect nondisjunctions. Turners Syndrome = 45XO
24
Extranuclear Genes Some genes located in organelles – Mitochondria, chloroplasts, plastids – Contain small circular DNA – Do not display Mendelian inheritance Mitochondria = maternal inheritance (eggs) Variegated (striped or spotted) leaves result from mutations in pigment genes in plastids, which generally are inherited from the maternal parent.
