Tracing the Inheritance of the Human Y Chromosome Women have sex chromosomes of XX, and men have sex chromosomes of XY. Which of a man's grandparents could not be the source of any of the genes on his Ychromosome? – – – – Father's Mother. Mother's Father. Father's Father. Mother's Mother, Mother's Father, and Father's Mother. – Mother's Mother. Tracing the Inheritance of the Human X Chromosome Women have sex chromosomes of XX, and men have sex chromosomes of XY. Which of a women's grandparents could not be the source of any of the genes on either of her X-chromosomes? – – – – – Mother's Father. Father's Mother. Mother's Mother. Father's Father. Mother's Mother and Mother's Father Is there a special pattern of inheritance for genes located on the X or Y chromosome? Yes, they are called sex-linked genes. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have been mapped on the X chromosome. Y chromosomes are smaller than X chromosomes and appear to only contain a few genes. Red-Green Colorblindness The most common type of red-green color perception defect is due to a mutation on the Xchromosome (i.e. a red-green color blind allele). X-linked red-color blindness is a recessive trait. Females heterozygous for this trait have normal vision. The color perception defect manifests itself in females only when it is inherited from both parents. By contrast, males inherit their single Xchromosome from their mothers and become red green color blind if this X-chromosome has the color perception defect. Hemophilia Hemophilia in humans is due to an Xchromosome mutation. What will be the results of mating between a normal (non-carrier) female and a hemophilac male? – half of daughters are normal and half of sons are hemophilic. – all sons are normal and all daughters are carriers. Chromosomal Disorders In some disorders, entire chromosomes, or large segments of them, are missing, duplicated, or otherwise altered. The most common error is nondisjunction, when homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis. If nondisjunction occurs, the number of chromosomes in the gametes can be abnormal, and a disorder may result.

Individuals are sterile, and lack expected secondary sexual characteristics. Mental retardation typically not evident. Sex Chromosome Disorders Klinefelter’s Syndrome (XXY) – Nondisjunction in males – Some development of breast tissue, little body hair is present; typically tall, with or without evidence of mental retardation. Males with XXXY, XXXXY, and XXXXXY karyotypes have a more severe presentation, and mental retardation is expected. Some Autosomal Disorders in Humans Type of Disorder Disorder Major Symptoms Disorders caused by recessive alleles Albinism Lack of pigment in hair, skin, and eyes Cystic Fibrosis Excess mucus in lungs, digestive tract, liver; increased susceptibility to infections; death in childhood unless treated Phenylketonuria Accumulation in brain cells; lack of normal pigment; mental retardation Tay-Sachs Disease Lipid accumulation in brain cells; mental deficiency; blindness; death in early childhood Disorders Caused by dominant alleles Achondroplasia Dwarfism (one form) Huntington’s Disease Mental deterioration and uncontrolled movements; appears in middle age Disorders caused by Sickle Cell Anemia Sickled red blood cells; damage to many tissues codominant alleles Albinism Phenylketonuria Achondroplasia Sickle Cell Anemia Causes of Genetic Disorders Dominant Alleles Recessive Alleles Sex-linked genes Autosomal genes Nondisjunction Gene mutations Chromosomal mutations Gene Mutations Changes in the DNA sequence that affect genetic information. Result from changes in one gene. Types: – Point mutations – Frameshift mutations Chromosomal Mutations Mutations involving changes in whole chromosomes. Changes in the number of copies or structure of a chromosome. Types: – – – – Deletions Duplications Inversions Translocation Deletion Duplication Inversion Translocation
