Presentation Transcript

  1. AP Biology Lecture #28 Sex-Linked Genetics

  2. The Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance • Genes have specific loci on chromosomes and chromosomes undergo segregation and independent assortment

  3. Chromosomal Linkage • Morgan • Drosophiliamelanogaster • 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

  4. Classes of chromosomes autosomalchromosomes sexchromosomes

  5. Discovery of sex linkage true-breeding red-eye female true-breeding white-eye male X P Huh!Sex matters?! 100% red eye offspring F1 generation (hybrids) 100% red-eye female 50% red-eye male 50% white eye male F2 generation

  6. What’s up with Morgan’s flies? x x RR rr Rr Rr r r R r R Rr Rr R RR Rr Doesn’t workthat way! R r Rr Rr Rr rr 100% red eyes 3 red : 1 white

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

  8. Let’s reconsider Morgan’s flies… x x XRXR XrY XRXr XRY Xr Y XR Y  XR XR XRXr XRY XRXR XRY BINGO! XR Xr XRXr XRY XRXr XrY 100% red females 50% red males; 50% white males 100% red eyes

  9. Genetic recombination • Crossing over Genes that DO NOT assort independently of each other • 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 • Linkage maps Genetic map based on recombination frequencies

  10. 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: • hemophilia • Duchenne muscular dystrophy • color-blindness

  11. Human sex-linkage • SRY gene: gene on Y chromosome that triggers the development of testes • Fathers= pass X-linked alleles to all daughters only (but not to sons) • Mothers= pass X-linked alleles to both sons & daughters • Sex-Linked Disorders: Color-blindness; Duchenne muscular dystropy (MD); hemophilia

  14. XH XHXh Xh 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 • patchwork trait = “mosaic” patches of black tricolor catscan only befemale patches of orange

  15. Human sex-linkage • X-inactivation: 2nd X chromosome in females condenses into a Barr body (e.g., tortoiseshell gene gene in cats)
