INTRODUCTION TO GENETICS TRAITS • Traits are the different forms of a characteristic that you may exhibit • Ex: Blue or Brown Eyes • Traits are inherited from our parents – mother and father • Therefore, when we talk about genetics, we are talking about sexual reproduction Chromosomes • Every cell in a human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes – half from our mother, half from our father • Genes are found on chromosomes • We have about 20,000-25,000 genes • Each gene holds a code that tells our body to make a certain protein • The protein that is made determines a Specific trait. Ex: Blue eye pigment or Brown eye pigment • Alleles • The different forms of a gene that can exist • Ex: Curly hair gene or straight hair gene • Dominant – ‘Strongest Allele’ – If it is present, you will have that trait. We use upper case letters for dominant alleles • Recessive – ‘Weakest Allele’ – This won’t show up unless there are two of them. We use lower case letters for recessive alleles Human cells contain ____ chromosomes 1. 2. 3. 4. 23 46 12 2 25% 1 25% 25% 2 3 25% 4 DNA contains a code that tells your body to make _____________ 1. fat 2. carbohydrate 3. protein 33% 1 33% 2 33% 3 ______________ traits won’t show up unless you have two copies of the gene. 25% 1. 2. 3. 4. 25% 25% 25% Recessive Dominant Generic Terrific 1 2 3 4 Genotype • The actual alleles you have for a trait • Ex: For eye color, you inherit B from dad and b from Mom • Your genotype is Bb • If there is a dominant allele, the genotype is written with the upper case first. (Never write bB) • Always use the same letter for both alleles • Your genotype is the genes you have Genotype (cont’d) • If you have two copies of the same allele for a trait (BB or bb), then you are HOMOZYGOUS for that trait. • If you have two different alleles for a trait (Bb), then you are HETEROZYGOUS for that trait Phenotype •How the genes actually show up, or how they are expressed •So, if your genotype is Bb, • Where B is brown • And b is blue •The phenotype would be Brown eyes •Phenotype is the physical appearance BB 1.

Karyotype – Abnormal/Female There are three copies of chromosome 21 – there should only be two copies. This is a karyotpe of a female with Down’s Syndrome.
