Transcript
Lecture #6 Date ________ Chapter 15~ The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance The Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance Genes have specific loci on chromosomes and chromosomes undergo segregation and independent assortment Chromosomal Linkage Morgan Drosophilia melanogaster XX (female) vs. XY (male) Sex-linkage: genes located on a sex chromosome Linked genes: genes located on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together Genetic recombination Crossing over Genes that DO NOT assort independently of each other Genetic maps The further apart 2 genes are, the higher the probability that a crossover will occur between them and therefore the higher the recombination frequency Linkage maps Genetic map based on recombination frequencies Human sex-linkage SRY gene: gene on Y chromosome that triggers the development of testes Fathers= pass X-linked alleles to all daughters only (but not to sons) Mothers= pass X-linked alleles to both sons & daughters Sex-Linked Disorders: Color-blindness; Duchenne muscular dystropy (MD); hemophilia X-inactivation: 2nd X chromosome in females condenses into a Barr body (e.g., tortoiseshell gene gene in cats) Chromosomal errors, I Nondisjunction: members of a pair of homologous chromosomes do not separate properly during meiosis I or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II Aneuploidy: chromosome number is abnormal • Monosomy~ missing chromosome • Trisomy~ extra chromosome (Down syndrome) • Polyploidy~ extra sets of chromosomes Chromosomal errors, II Alterations of chromosomal structure: Deletion: removal of a chromosomal segment Duplication: repeats a chromosomal segment Inversion: segment reversal in a chromosome Translocation: movement of a chromosomal segment to another Genomic imprinting Def: a parental effect on gene expression Identical alleles may have different effects on offspring, depending on whether they arrive in the zygote via the ovum or via the sperm. Fragile X syndrome: higher prevalence of disorder and retardation in males
