  1. Human GeneticsCh. 13.1-13.4

  2. Why Study Our DNA? • Learn the effects of mutations • Understand how genetic diseases are generated • Propose possible treatments for genetic diseases • Identify causes of genetic diseases • Unfortunately, inheritance is mostly NON-Mendelian • The alleles for traits are passed on and expressed in complex ways

  3. Genetic Linkages • What is Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment? • Genes are separated independently into gametes and thus offspring • We have only 23 chromosomes, why is complete independent assortment impossible? • 100,000 of genes and only 23 chromosomes to be condensed into; some genes have to share the same chromosome • Genes on the same chromosome are linked genes • In order to study inheritance of multiple genes, we are going to have to map out what genes are on what chromosomes

  4. Mapping A Chromosome • Morgan and Sturtevant; 1900’s • Cross-breeding fruit flies; Drosophilamelanogaster (model genetic studies organism) • pr+pr+vg+vg+ red eyes; long wings • “+” = wild type (normal/dominate) • prprvgvg purple eyes; vestigial wings • Expected 1:1:1:1 ratio (all combinations of eye color and wing type) • Got almost 1:1 of parental phenotypes (Red/Long: Purple/Vestigial • Small percent were Red/Vestigial or Purple/Long (recombinant phenotype)

  5. Mapping A Chromosome • Why a near 1:1 of the parental phenotypes? • Genes are linked; eye color and wing type are on the same chromosome • Why the small percent of recombinant phenotype? • Crossing Over during meiosis; Genes must have been switched on homologous chromatids • If two sections of a chromosome are switching places, than what can you conclude about the percent of genes you would see switched in an organism? • The further away the genes are from each other on the chromosome the more likely they will get switched

  6. Recombinant Frequencies • Of the F1 generation; 305 had recombinant phenotypes of the 2,839 total progeny (offspring). What is the recombinant frequency? • 10.7% (305/2,839 *100) • Sturtevant brilliantly deduced that recombinant frequencies between multiple linked genes could be use to map out the locations of genes on their chromosome • <1% - 50%; Why is 50% the max? • Progeny get either parental chromosomes or recombinant chromosomes (50%) • Linkage map

  7. Linkage Map • Written in mu (map units) or cM (centimorgan); map shows relative location based on other known alleles • Map of alleles a, b, and c: • a-b 9.6% = 9.6 mu • b-c 2% = 2 mu • a-c 8% = 8 mu • a must be far from b and c must be between them, but much closer to b • 9.6 mu (a-b)– 2 mu (c-b)= 7.6 mu(a-c) • Why the inconsistency? • a is pretty far from c and b so there may be a double cross over sometimes • What can we conclude about genes more the 50 mu apart? • They follow independent assortment (no linkage) because 50% is highest possible recombinant frequency

  8. Example Map Problem • A kidney-bean-shaped eye is produced by a recessive gene k on the third chromosome of Drosophilia. Orange eye color, called "cardinal," is produced by the recessive gene cd on the same chromosome. Between these two loci is a third locus with a recessive allele e that produces ebony body color. Homozygous "kidney," cardinal females are mated to homozygous ebony males. The trihybrid F1 females are then testcrossed to produce the F2. Among 4000 F2 progeny are the following: 1761 Kidney, Cardinal 97 Kidney 1773 Ebony 89 Ebony, Cardinal 128 Kidney, Ebony 6 Kidney, Ebony, Cardinal 138 Cardinal 8 Wild type (+) • (a)   Determine the linkage relationships in the parents and F1trihybrids. • (b)   Estimate the map distances. a) Female(kke+e+ cdcd) X Male (k+k+eecd+cd+)F1= kk+ee+cdcd+(wild type) b) ke crosses: k e (128) and cd (138) double crosses: k e cd (6) and wild type (8) 128+138+6+8= 280/4000 x 100= 7% = 7mu ecd crosses: e cd (89) and k (97) double crosses: k e cd (6) and wild type (8) 89+97+6+8= 200/4000 x 100 = 5% = 5mu

  9. The Amazing Drosophila • Genes linked to sex chromosomes also discovered through fruit flies • Doing a F2 cross Morgan expect the normal 3:1 but instead he got all females with red eyes and 50% males with white or red eyes • What does this tell us? • Eye color is sex linked; X chromosome • Males have a 50% of getting Xw+ or Xw; females all get at least one Xw+ so they all have red eyes • X-linked recessive all males progeny of a XrXr x YXRget Xr

  10. Sex-Linked Genes • Any genes located on the sex determining chromosomes • X or Y in humans • Mapped through male/female dependent inheritance • All other 22 chromosomes are called autosomes (automatically inherited) • Y Chromosome • Sex-determining genes; SRY gene makes females into males while an embryo • Maybe fading from existence; may be getting smaller • XY heterogametic • X Chromosome • Mostly codes for non-sex related traits (ex. Color vision) • XX homogametic

  11. Too Many Xs! • Why do females need two Xs? • They Don’t! Two X chromosomes would mean double the genetic material necessary • What does the body do with the X chromosome? • It randomly shuts one X down • Creates a Barr body dense mass of inactive chromatin • They are copied and passed on in mitosis but are never used for proteins • How can this show us X-recessive traits? • Dominate X might be randomly deactivated so the X recessive is randomly present in cells • Female calico cats have a mix of orange and black fur but males are always black or orange

  12. Following Sex-linked Traits • Pedigree map of parents and offspring in a family over generations • ⃝ female •  males •  has trait •  carrier; has gene but not trait • Hemophilia platelets numbers so low person often bleeds to death from little body damage • X-linked recessive gene • Rare for XhXh why? • Most males with the disease do not reproduce • Lead to the Russian Revolution

  13. Chromosomal Mutations • Major change in a chromosome's structure or the number of chromosomes in a gamete • 4 Types: • Deletion • Duplication • Translocation • Inversion

  14. Deletions and Duplications • Deletion section of chromosome is lost • Cri-du-chat (cat’s cry) • Deletion from Chromosome 5 causes mental retardation and malformed larynx • Cry sounds like cat meow • Duplication section is inserted to a homolog that already has that section • Why can two copies allow the slow testing of mutations? • One mutated copy tests adaptation but organism basically functions normally • Hemoglobin in humans has evolved this way

  15. Translocation and Inversion • Translocation section attached to non-homolog • Typically reciprocal (two chromosomes each have translocation) • Philadelphia Chromosome translocation of 9 and 12; causes uncontrolled growth in white blood cells (leukemia) • Inversion section attached to original chromosome but in the reverse order • Genes lose function or produce harmful/beneficial new versions

  16. Non-Disjunction • Euploidy normal amount of chromosomes • Aneuploidy missing or extra amount of chromosomes • Monoploids, triploids, tetraploids, ….polyploids • Most miscarriages (baby deaths before birth) are aneuploidy • Trisomy 21 and 18 develop but live short and difficult lives • X and Y polyploidy survive… • XYY? • Extra Y’s just mean more male characteristics; no essential genes • XXY and XXX? • Barr bodies turn off extra Xs

  17. Human Inheritance Patterns • Autosomal Recessive • RR no trait • Rr carriers • rr show the trait • CF Cystic Fibrosis • 1:4,000 births in US • Lose Cl- channel transport efficiency • Build up of thick mucus blocks lungs and promotes disease • PKU Phenylketonuria • 1:15,000 births in US • Enzyme cannot break phenylalanine into tyrosine • Build up causes brain damage • Must be medicated and restrict diet

  18. Human Inheritance Patterns • Autosomal Dominate • RR have trait • Rr have trait • rr no trait • Dwarfism Achondroplasia • 1:25,000 births worldwide • Only heterozygous survive embryo development • Defective cartilage leads to short arms and legs; large heads; regular sized body

  19. Human Inheritance Patterns • X-Linked Recessive • XX no trait • XXr carries • XrXr have trait • DMD Duchenne muscular dystrophy • Muscle tissue degrades; most cannot walk or need crutches • Dystrophin is defective; protein anchor in muscle cells; results in tearing • X-Linked Dominate • XX have trait • XX have trait • XrXr no trait • Extremely rare in humans • Teeth discoloration
