Chapter 12 Inheritance Patterns and Human Genetics Walter Sutton - American Geneticist Developed the Chromosome Theory of Heredity The Chromosome Theory of Heredity Chromosomes are located in the nucleus Factors (genes) are found on chromosomes Sutton discovered that genes are on chromosomes in 1902 Chromosome Theory of Heredity States that genes are located on chromosomes and each gene occupies a specific place on a chromosome Only one allele is on a chromosome Finally explains what Mendel was talking about Thomas Hunt Morgan Studied fruit flies – Drosophila melanogaster Fruit Flies are excellent for genetic studies because: Reproduce quickly Easy to raise Many mutations Have 8 chromosomes (n=4) Morgan looked at TWO traits Gray bodies – G Normal Wings - W Black bodies – g Small wings – w P1 F1 GGWW x GgWw 100% ggww Morgan then mated the F1 back to the recessive parent GgWw x ggww Expected ratio – 1:1:1:1 25% GgWw 25% ggWw 25% Ggww 25% ggww Morgan’s Actual Results 41.5% 41.5% 8.5 % 8.5% gray normal black small black normal gray small Conclusion Gene for body size and wing color were somehow connected or linked Can’t undergo independent assortment Gene Linkage Genes on the same chromosome are linked together Inherited together – THEREFORE they do not undergo independent assortment Linkage Groups Package of genes that are always inherited together Genes on the same chromosome One linkage group for each homologous pair Fruit flies – 4 linkage groups Humans – 23 linkage groups Corn – 10 linkage groups So linkage groups explain the high percentages (41.5%) but What about the 8.5%?????? 17% had new combinations The combinations that were expected would be: Gray normal – GW or Black small - gw When they are lined up they can become twisted and switch genes Crossing Over The 17% that had new combinations are known as Recombinants – individuals with new combinations of genes Crossing Over – gives rise to new combinations – Prophase I Chromosome Maps The likelihood a crossover will occur that will result in the separation of two genes depends on the distance between the two genes Chromosome maps are diagrams that show the location of genes on a chromosome Two genes separated by crossingover 1% of the time = one map unit apart Alfred Sturtevant (Morgan’s student) constructed the 1st chromosome map of fruit flies NETTIE STEVENS WORKED WITH MEAL WORMS DISCOVERED THAT THEY HAD 20 CHROMOS. MALES HAD 19 REG. SIZE AND 1 SMALL SHE FOUND THE SAME THING IN FRUIT FLIES SHE SAID THE 19 THAT WERE THE SAME WERE AUTOSOMES, & THE MISMATCHED WERE SEX CHROMOS MALES HAVE 1 X AND 1 Y Sex Chromosomes Nettie Stevens – made observations of meal worm chromosomes Sex Chromosomes One pair Female – XX Male – XY Sex Determination 50/50 Genes on Sex Chromosomes Sex chromosomes determine a person’s sex Sex chromosomes also contain other genes Sex Linked A gene located on a sex chromosome Usually X Example – Fruit Fly Eye Color The gene for eye color is on the X chromosome - not the Y Fruit Fly Sex Chromosomes X X X Y Males Females XRXR XRY Red Eyed XRXr XrXr White Eyed XrY Sex-Linked Genetic Disorders Gene for the trait is on the X or Y X has many genes – Y has few Defects easy to spot – appear more in males Carrier A heterozygous female – has the gene but does not express it – can pass it on to her children Colorblindness Recessive X linked disorder Cannot distinguish colors C Dominant Gene – X c Recessive Gene - X Hemophilia Recessive X linked disorder Blood does not clot H X – good gene h X – hemophilia gene Muscular Dystrophy Results in the progressive wasting away of muscle Mutations -A change in the DNA of an organism -Can involve an entire chromosome or a single DNA nucleotide -May take place in any cell Mutations Germ Cell Mutations - Occur in an organism’s germ cells (gametes)- only affect offspring Somatic Mutations - Take place in an organisms body cells and only affect the organism Mutations Lethal Mutation: Can cause death Often before birth Good Mutations: organisms have a better chance to reproduce have an evolutionary advantage Provide the variation on which natural selection acts Chromosome Mutations Changes in the structure of a chromosome Loss or addition of an entire chromosome Four Types: duplication deletion inversion translocation Gene Mutations Point mutation-single nitrogen base is changed Substitutions may not be fatal - there is redundancy in the amino acid codons Frameshift Mutation When a nucleotide is lost or added so that the remaining codons are grouped incorrectly This can code for the wrong amino acid and create an incorrect protein Insertions and deletions are frameshift mutations THE FAT CAT ATE THE RAT Deletion causes a frameshift: If you delete the “E” in the THF ATC ATA TET HER AT Nondisjunction Some chromosome mutations alter the number of chromosomes found in a cell Nondisjunction – the failure of a chromosome to separate from its homologue during meiosis Nondisjunction Example: Trisomy 21 Nondisjunction also affects sex chromosomes Examples: Klinefelters and Turner’s syndrome Polyploidy Condition in which an organism has an extra set of chromosomes 3N, 4N Usually fatal in animals Plants – usually more robust Caused by - Nondisjunction Mutations http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/ begin/traits/predictdisorder/ Pedigree Chart A family record that shows how a trait is inherited over several generations. Circles are females, squares are males Blank = Normal Half = Carrier – not shown, pass on Filled = Displays trait Pedigree chart Female – circle Male – square Colored - recessive Empty - dominant Genetic Traits and Disorders Genetic disorders – diseases or debilitating condition that has a genetic basis Single Allele Traits Controlled by a signal allele Usually recessive Example: Hitchhiker’s thumb Multiple Allele Traits Controlled by 3 or more alleles Example: Blood types Polygenic Traits A trait that is controlled by two or more genes Example: Skin color Huntington’s Disease Caused by a single dominant allele Appears in 30’s or 40’s Progressive loss of muscle control and mental function death Gene on chromosome 4 Sickle Cell Anemia Caused by a change in one of the polypeptides found in hemoglobin (carries oxygen in RBC) One nucleotide difference Codominant inheritance A S pattern – H H A H - normal allele S H – Sickle Cell allele Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Anemia – common in people of African ancestry and from tropical regions Carriers (heterozygous) of Sickle Cell A S trait (H H ) resistant to malaria Human Blood Groups Multiple alleles – genes with more than two forms Example – ABO and Rh blood groups * Remember – an organism can have two alleles only! Blood Type Blood Type – determined by the presence or absence of certain things in the blood RBC (Red blood cell) – can carry two different antigens Antigens – molecules that can be recognized by the immune system Genotypes and Phenotypes ii Type O A A A I I or I i B B II A B I I or Type A B Ii Type B Type AB II. BLOOD GROUPS-TYPING DONORS A’S CAN GIVE TO A’S, AB’S B’S CAN GIVE TO B’S, AB’S AB’S CAN GIVE TO AB’S O’S CAN GIVE TO ANYONE! THEY ARE A UNIVERSAL DONOR RECEIVERS A’S CAN RECEIVE FROM A’S & O’S B’S CAN RECEIVE FROM B’S & O’S O’S CAN RECEIVE FROM O’S ONLY! AB’S CAN RECEIVE FROM AB’S, A’S, B’S, & O’S (UNIVERSAL RECIPIENTS) Rh Blood Groups Rh antigen also on RBC + Rh - have antigen (Dominant) _ Rh - no antigen (Recessive) IF A PREGNANT WOMAN HAS AN Rh+ BABY & SHE IS Rh- THEN THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IF THE CORD BLOOD MIXES W/THE MOM’S SHE COULD HAVE ANTIBODIES AGAINST THE BABIES BLOOD AND CAUSE DEATH TO THE BABY Blood Typing Activity http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/medicine/landstein er/ Polygenic Inheritance Traits controlled by two or more genes Examples – height, skin color, animal coat patterns Phenotypes are seen in a range POLYGENIC INHERITANCE INHERITANCE OF SEVERAL GENES TO EXPRESS A SINGLE TRAIT LIKE SKIN COLOR Sex Influenced Traits A trait that is caused by a gene whose expression differs in males and females Baldness: A sex influenced trait Single gene – two alleles Gene expression is influenced by male hormones Baldness Genotype Male Female BB Normal Normal bb Bald Bald Bb Bald Normal Diagnosis of Genetic Disorders Down’s Syndrome – Trisomy 21 Extra copy of the 21st chromosome Can be detected by microscopic examinations of chromosomes karyotype Prenatal Diagnosis Amniocentesis – removes fluid from the sac around the baby The fluid can be used to grow cells and make a karyotype Chorionic Villus Biopsy – cells are removed from the embryo Faster results than amnio Prenatal Diagnosis CVB and Amnio make it possible to detect chromosomal abnormalities Test for: biochemical abnormalities Presence of certain DNA sequences Ethics We can detect over 100 disorders Knowledge leads to choices and decisions Ethical Considerations: Do you consider a developing embryo a person? Are you pro-life or pro-choice? Should a person knowingly bring a baby with a deadly disease into the world?
