Sex Determination
• Female sex chromosomes: XX
• Male sex chromosomes: Xy
In humans, the X and
Y chromosomes
control the sex of
offspring.
Outcome is always 50% chance
of a male, and 50% chance of a
female

Pedigree Charts
The family tree of genetics
What is a Pedigree?
• A pedigree is a chart of the genetic history
of family over several generations.
• Scientists or a genetic counselor would find
out about your family history and make this
chart to analyze.
Constructing a Pedigree
 Female
 Male
Connecting Pedigree Symbols
Examples of connected symbols:
 Parents
 Siblings
Example

Symbols in a Pedigree Chart
 Affected
 “Normal”
 Deceased
Interpreting a Pedigree Chart
Determine whether the disorder is dominant or
recessive.
– If the disorder is dominant, one of the
parents must have the disorder.
– If the disorder is recessive, neither
parent has the disorder because they
can be heterozygous.

Summary
 Pedigrees are family trees that explain your
genetic history.
 Pedigrees are used to find out the
probability of a child having a disorder in a
particular family.
 To begin to interpret a pedigree, determine if
the disease or condition is autosomal or Xlinked and dominant or recessive.
