    1. The Human Genome Chapter 14

    2. Human Heredity Human chromosomes Karyotype a picture of chromosomes arranged in pairs

    3. Human Heredity

    4. Human Heredity Human body 46 chromosomes Haploid sperm cell with 23 chromosomes Haploid egg cell with 23 chromosomes They form a diploid zygote or fertilized egg cell with 46 chromosomes

    5. Human Heredity Sex chromosomes 2 of the 46 chromosomes Determine the sex of that person Females have X and X or XX chromosomes Males have X and Y or XY chromosomes

    6. Human Heredity Autosomes (Autosomal Chromosomes) The other 44 chromosomes found in all body cells These are the chromosomes separate from the sex cells Typically numbered on a karyotype

    7. Human Heredity Human traits Pedigree chart Shows the relationship within a family Shows how traits may be passed through generations

    9. Human Heredity Human genes Blood group genes Rh blood groups Positive and negative Rh+ is dominant ABO blood groups IA, I B, and i IA and I B are codominant

    10. Human Heredity Recessive alleles Genetic disorders usually are not discovered until seen in the environment Dominant alleles Anyone having carrying an allele will have the disorder Codominant alleles

    11. Human Heredity From gene to molecule Cystic fibrosis Common in people from northern Europe Serious digestive and breathing problems Caused by the deletion of just one amino acid

    12. Human Heredity Sickle cell disease Blood cells doughnut or comma shaped Heterozygous people dont contract malaria Humans with all sickle celled blood can die Why do so many African Americans have sickle celled blood?

    13. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Human genes and chromosomes One cell has 6 billion base pairs or A,C,T,& G 46 Chromosomes are found in every diploid human cell

    14. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Only 2% of all DNA is used for genes or transcribed into RNA Average genes are 3,000 base pairs Largest gene is 2 million base pairs

    15. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Chromosomes 21 and 22 are the smallest 22 has 545 genes (43 million base pairs) 21 has 225 genes (21 million base pairs) Lou Gehrigs Disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS)

    16. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Sex-linked genes genes located on the sex chromosomes Colorblindness Red-green colorblindness 1 in 10 males 1 in 100 females Why do more males have colorblindness?

    18. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Hemophilia Blood does not clot properly Is determined by two genes on the X-chromosome 1 in 10,000 males Ryan White

    19. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Progressive weakening and loss of skeletal muscle 1 in 3,000 males Caused by a defective gene that codes for a protein in muscles

    20. 14-2 Human Chromosomes X-chromosome inactivation Barr body dense area in a nucleus where the inactivated X chromosome is located Each cell controls which X chromosome is turned off Calico cat

    21. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Chromosomal Disorders Nondisjunction error in which homologous chromosomes fail to separate

    22. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Down syndrome Caused by trisomy or three copies of chromosome 21(Trisomy 21) 1 in 800 babies This is a nondisjunction condition

    23. 14-2 Human Chromosomes Sex chromosome disorders Turners syndrome Females (45,X) Sterile No sex organs Klinefelters syndrome Males (47, XXY) Sterile

    24. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics Human DNA analysis Search the human genome using sequences of DNA bases

    25. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics Testing for alleles Use labeled DNA probes Search for changes in restriction enzymes Test lengths of DNA strands

    26. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics DNA fingerprinting No two humans are exactly alike Analyze and compare low function DNA segments

    27. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics The Human Genome Project An ongoing effort to analyze the human sequence Finished in 2000

    28. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics Rapid sequencing Identify separated regions of DNA Use these areas as markers Shotgun sequencing

    29. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics Searching for genes Find DNA sequences known to be promoters This is the start of a gene

    30. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics A breakthrough for everyone Public access to Human genome project

    31. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics Gene therapy Changing the gene that causes a genetic disorder Use viruses to infect cells with good gene 1999 - First person cured of genetic disorder

    32. 14-3 Human Molecular Genetics Ethical issues in human genetics Should we use genetics to make people better?
