The
Chromosomal Basis of
Inheritance
The Chromosomal Theory
Inheritance

Genes have specific
loci on chromosomes
and chromosomes
undergo segregation
and independent
assortment
of
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
Classes of chromosomes

chromosomes

Genetics of Sex

In humans & other mammals, there are 2 sex
chromosomes: X & Y
–
2 X chromosomes


–
develop as a female: XX
gene redundancy,
like autosomal chromosomes
an X & Y chromosome


develop as a male: XY
no redundancy
50% female : 50% male

Genetic Recombination

Results in offspring with
new combinations of
traits inherited from
their parents

Unlinked Genes:
–
–
Parental (phenotype like
one of parents)
Recombinant (phenotype
unlike either parent)

Linked Genes:
–
–
–
Do not assort
independently
Too close on
chromosome
Tend to be inherited
together
Genetic recombination



Crossing over:
Exchange of genetic
material (Prophase 1)
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. 1
map unit = 1%
recombination
Linkage maps: Genetic
map based on
recombination frequencies
Helps you determine
location of genes on
chromosomes
Create a Linkage Map

Genes on sex chromosomes
 Y chromosome

few genes other than SRY
 sex-determining region
 master regulator for maleness
 turns on genes for production of male hormones
 many effects = pleiotropy!
 X chromosome


other genes/traits beyond sex determination
 mutations:
more common in males
 Color-blindness – lack of photopigments in eye
 Duchenne muscular dystropy (MD) – lack of muscle protein
 Hemophilia – lack of blood clotting protein
 Fathers= pass X-linked alleles to all daughters only

(but not to sons)
Mothers= pass X-linked alleles to both sons &
daughters

X-inactivation
 Female mammals inherit 2 X chromosomes

one X becomes inactivated during
embryonic development
 condenses into compact object = Barr body
 which X becomes Barr body is random

Errors of Meiosis
Chromosomal Abnormalities
2006-2007
Chromosomal abnormalities

Incorrect number of chromosomes
–
nondisjunction

–
chromosomes don’t separate properly during meiosis
breakage of chromosomes




deletion
duplication
inversion
translocation
Nondisjunction
 Problems with meiotic spindle cause errors in
daughter cells




homologous chromosomes do not separate
properly during Meiosis 1
sister chromatids fail to separate during Meiosis 2
too many or too few chromosomes

 Baby has wrong chromosome number~

 cells have 3 copies of a chromosome

 cells have only 1 copy of a chromosome

Polyploidy
 Chromosomal alteration in which an
organism has more than 2 complete
chromosome sets
Triploid (3n)
 Tetraploid (4n)
 Common in plants

AP Biology
Down syndrome
 Trisomy 21
3 copies of chromosome 21
 1 in 700 children born in U.S.

 Chromosome 21 is the
smallest human chromosome

but still severe effects
 Frequency of Down
syndrome correlates
with the age of the mother
AP Biology
Sex chromosomes abnormalities
 Human development more tolerant of
wrong numbers in sex chromosome
 But produces a variety of distinct
syndromes in humans

XXY = Klinefelter’s syndrome male
XXX = Trisomy X female
XYY = Jacob’s syndrome male
XO = Turner syndrome female
Klinefelter’s syndrome
 XXY male
one in every 2000 live births
 have male sex organs, but
are sterile
 feminine characteristics

 some breast development
 lack of facial hair
tall
 normal intelligence

Klinefelter’s syndrome
AP Biology
Jacob’s syndrome male
 XYY Males
1 in 1000 live male
births
 extra Y chromosome
 slightly taller than
average
 more active
 normal intelligence, slight learning disabilities
 delayed emotional maturity
 normal sexual development

AP Biology
Trisomy X
 XXX
1 in every 2000 live births
 produces healthy females

 Why?
 Barr bodies
 all but one X chromosome is inactivated
AP Biology
Turner syndrome
 Monosomy X or X0
1 in every 5000 births
 varied degree of effects
 webbed neck
 short stature
 sterile

Changes in chromosome structure
 deletion

 duplication
crossing over


loss of a chromosomal segment
repeat a segment
 inversion

reverses a segment
 translocation

Cri du Chat
 Deletion in chromosome 5
 Infant’s cry sounds like high pitched
cat meow
AP Biology
Genomic imprinting
 Def: a process in which
certain genes are imprinted
differently depending on
individual’s sex

Ex: Deletion in Chromosome 15
 Prader-Willi syndrome if from Dad
 Angelman syndrome if from Mom
 Identical alleles may have

different effects on
offspring, depending on
whether they arrive via egg
or sperm
Fragile X syndrome: higher
prevalence of disorder and
retardation in males (more
linked from mother)
