X Y Several methods help map human chromosomes. • A karyotype is a picture of all chromosomes in a cell.
Human Karyotype • To analyze chromosomes, cells arephotographed during mitosis when chromosomes are fully condensed and easy to see. • Chromosomes are cut out of photographs and lined up with homologous chromosome and in order of largest to smallest. • Used to diagnose chromosomal disorders and determine gender.
Karyotype : chromosomes are paired 1 from mom & 1 from dad 23 pairs 46 chromosomes 22 pairs – autosomes 1 pair sex chromosomes 46,XY Normal male
Down syndrome: (Trisomy 21) 47, XX, 21+
Human chromosomes • Let’s look at this again • There are 46 chromosomes (23 homologous pairs) in each somatic cell • 22pairsof autosomes • 1 pairofsex chromosomes • XX = Female, XY = Male • Karyotype- chromosomes are arranged according to shape and size Normal human karyotype
Pedigrees Biology I
Pedigrees analysis • Shows the analysis of inheritance in human families
Inheritance patterns shown by a pedigree. • Basic patterns of inheritance • autosomal, recessive • autosomal, dominant • X-linked, recessive
Autosomal recessive • e.g., PKU, Tay-Sachs, albinism • Autosomal dominant • e.g., Huntington’s Disease • X-linked recessive • e.g., color-blindness, hemophilia
Autosomal disorders Autosomal disorders are more prevalent in certain geographic regions or cultures Recessive disorders • Cause: recessive alleles • Albinism, Cystic fibrosis, Sickle-cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease • More common than dominant disorders Dominant disorders • Cause: dominant alleles • Dwarfism (Achondroplasia), Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease • Less common than recessive disorders
X- linked Recessive What is the inheritance pattern? What is the genotype of III-1, III-2, and II-3? What are the odds that IV-5 would have an affected son?
III-1 has 12 kids with an unaffected wife 8 sons - 1 affected 4 daughters - 2 affected Does he have reason to be concerned about paternity?
Sample pedigree - cystic fibrosis What can we say about I-1 and I-2? What can we say about II-4 and II-5? What are the odds that III-5 is a carrier? What can we say about gene frequency?
