  1. Glossary sex-linked trait traits carried by genes located on the X or Y sex chromosomes genetically normal females: XX genetically normal males: XY

  2. Glossary sex-linked trait • most X-linked characteristics are recessive in females • which means that unless they are present on both X chromosomes of a female, the trait is carried but not expressed

  3. Glossary sex-linked trait • males, with only one X chromosome, more commonly exhibit such traits phenotypically • e.g. hemophilia • e.g. red-green color blindness

  18. What each of the human chromosomes look like

  19. Karyotype: A photomicrograph of chromosomes arranged according to a standard classification

  20. In other words… • Chromosomes are digitally arranged so that they are matched with their homologue or “partner” chromosome. • Homologue chromosomes are the same size, shape, and carry the same genes, and one is inherited from each parent. • They are numbered according to size.

  21. Sex determination with karyotype • This karyotype has 23 exact pairs, which means the person is female. • Note that #23 chromosomes are both X.

  22. Normal human male • Note that #23 chromosomes are X and Y.

  23. Is this person female or male?

  24. Trisomy 21 • Abnormality shown in karyotype • Note that there are three copies of #21 chromosome. • This person has Down Syndrome.

  25. Photos of Down Syndrome patients from the National Down Syndrome Society

  26. Correlation between mother’s age and Trisomy 21 incidence

  27. Monosomy X • Abnormality shown in karyotype • Note this person only has 1 copy of the X chromosome. • This female has Turner’s syndrome.

  28. XXY Male (Extra X)

  29. How are DNA samples obtained for karyotypes?

  30. Amniocentesis: obtaining amniotic fluid which has cells from the fetus

  31. Chorionic villi sampling: removing cells from the chorion with fetal tissue

  32. If there are chromosomal number abnormalities, how do they form? • Meiosis: the process of creating sperm or egg from a diploid cell • If there is a mistake when chromosomes are separating, then the resulting sperm or egg will have too many or too few chromosomes.

  33. How can siblings look alike but not exactly the same if they come from the same parents?

  34. Crossing over • The chromosomes during prophase I undergo crossing over, where parts of the homologues randomly switch places.

  35. Importance of crossing over • The gene combinations that a person gets from his or her parents will be different, to varying degrees, than the combination a sibling may get.

  36. More sibling similarities

  37. What other chromosomal disorders can arise? • Deletion • Inversion • Translocation* • Duplication *Don’t worry about this one.

  38. Chromosomal mutations Deletion Duplication Inversion Translocation

  39. Problems with chromosomes • Duplication: copied parts of chromosome A B C D A B B B C D

  40. Problems with chromosomes • Deletion: missing parts of chromosome A B C D A D

  41. Problems with chromosomes • Inversion: parts of chromosome tched A B C D A C B D

  42. Human genetic disorders from deleterious genes • Sometimes the alleles inherited contribute to disorders and not from the number or shape of the chromosomes. • Sex-linked: genes found on X or Y chromosome • Recessive: requires 2 allele copies to express disorder • Dominant: requires only 1 allele copy to express disorder

  43. Recessive disorders

  44. Dominant disorder
