  1. Chapter 27 Human Genetics

  2. The Role of Chromosomes Chromosome Numbers in Living Things • Each human sperm or egg has 23 chromosomes. • Each human body cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes. • Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes.

  3. Human Cells 23 Chromosomes Sex Cells Chromosomes not paired 46 Chromosomes Body Cells Chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs

  4. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 Detecting Genetic Disease • Genetic screening examines a person’s genetic makeup and potential risks of passing disorders to offspring. • Amniocentesis is a way of looking at the chromosomes of a fetus.

  5. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 • Doctors can also take a small piece of the placenta to obtain a sample of chromosomes. • The chromosomes are counted and studied to see whether parts are missing. • Karyotypes are charts where chromosomes are organized in pairs.

  6. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 Sex – A Genetic Trait • Sex Chromosomes and Autosomes • Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine an organism’s sex (gender). • The remaining chromosomes that are not directly involved in determining the sex of an individual are called autosomes.

  7. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 Sex – A Genetic Trait, continued • Sex Determination • In mammals, an individual carrying two X chromosomes is female. • An individual carrying an X and a Y chromosome is male.

  8. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 Karyotypes: Male and Female

  9. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 What are your chances of having male or female offspring? X X X XX X X Body Cell Eggs X XY Y Y Sperm Body Cell 1female:1male

  10. Section 1 The Role of Chromosomes Chapter 27 Male or Female? Who determines the sex of the offspring? • The Father, because he donates the Y chromosome.

  11. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Survey on Human Traits Attached earlobes is a Recessive trait. Detached earlobes is a Dominant trait.

  12. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Survey on Human traits Being able to roll your Tongue is a dominant Trait. Not being able to roll your Tongue is a recessive trait.

  13. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Survey on Human traits

  14. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Survey on Human traits

  15. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Incomplete Dominance Some traits are neither totally dominant nor totally recessive. Incomplete dominance is when neither gene is totally dominant to the other.

  16. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Incomplete Dominance Snapdragons

  17. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Incomplete Dominance • Sickle Cell Anemia • R = Round blood cells • R’ = Sickle Cells R R’ R R’

  18. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Blood Types in Humans • There are four blood types in humans – A, B, AB and O. • A and B are dominant to O.

  19. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Genes on the X Chromosome • Sex-Linked Genes and Traits • Genes found on the X chromosome are X-linked genes. • A sex-linked trait is a trait whose gene is located on a sex chromosome. • Because males have only one X chromosome, a male who carries a recessive gene on the X chromosome will exhibit the sex-linked trait.

  20. Section 2 Human Traits Chapter 27 Genes on the X Chromosome • Color blindness is a problem in which red or green look like shades of gray or other colors. • The gene is carried on the X chromosome and is a recessive trait. XC Xc XC Y
