  1. KARYOTYPE AND GENETIC DISORDERS H. Biology

  2. Chromosomes Determine Your Gender • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes • 22 pairs are autosomes(chromosomes that are NOT involved in making gender) • Also called homologous chromosome pairs • 1 pair are sex chromosomes (NOT HOMOLOGOUS; different genes) • The sex chromosomes are “X” and “Y” • “XX” is a girl • “XY” is a boy X Egg cells ALWAYS have “X” chromosome Y X Y

  3. Pair of homologous chromosomes 5 µm Centromere Sister chromatids A karyotype • an ordered, visual representation of ALL chromosomes in a human cell • Arranged according to homologous pairs

  4. a REAL view…wow!!!

  5. What is a genetic disorder? What causes a genetic disorder? • Caused by an abnormality in an individual’s DNA How do these abnormalities occur? • Non-disjunction • Addition or subtraction of chromosome or set of chromosomes • Mutations • Change to DNA sequence (gene)

  6. Abnormal Chromosome Number • When nondisjunctionoccurs • Pairs of homologous chromosomes do NOT separate normally during meiosis • Gametes contain 2 copies or NO copies of a particular chromosome • What are some disorders caused by non-disjunction? • Downs Syndrome • Trisomy 21 • Klinefelter’s Syndrome • XXY • Turner Syndrome • Monosomy X

  7. What happens when meiosis goes wrong? NONDISJUNCTION!!!

  8. Meiosis I Nondisjunction Meiosis II Nondisjunction Gametes n 1 n + 1 n + 1 n –1 n + 1 n – 1 n n Number of chromosomes (a) (b) Nondisjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I Nondisjunction of sister chromatids in meiosis II Figure 15.12a, b

  9. Aneuploidy • Results from the fertilization of gametes in which nondisjunction occurred • Offspring have an abnormal number of a particular chromosome

  10. What are some disorders caused by non-disjunction? • Downs Syndrome • Trisomy 21 • Kleinfelter’s Syndrome • XXY • Edwards Syndrome • Trisomy 18 • Patau Syndrome • Trisomy 13 • Turner Syndrome • Monosomy X

  11. 1.) Trisomy 18-Edwards Syndrome

  12. 2.) Trisomy-13: Usually Fatal

  13. 3.) Klinefelter - XXY

  14. Klinefelter syndrome • a result of an extra chromosome in a male, producing XXY individuals • 1/2000 live births

  15. XYY individuals

  16. Triple X Syndrome XXX individuals • Females • Healthy • Same phenotype as XX individuals • 1/1000 live births

  17. 4.) Turner Syndrome

  18. Turner syndrome • Is the result of monosomy X, producing an X0 karyotype • 1/5000 live births • Only known monosomy in humans • Normal intelligence • Sterile

  19. 5.)Trisomy 21

  20. Human Disorders Due to Chromosomal Alterations • Down syndrome • Is usually the result of an extra chromosome 21 • trisomy 21

  21. What are some disorders caused by mutations? • Sickle cell anemia (recessive) • Cystic fibrosis (recessive) • Maple syrup urine disorder (recessive) • Congenital hypothyroidism (recessive) • Huntington’s Disease (dominant)

  22. Cystic Fibrosis • Example of recessive disorder • Affect mostly people of European descent • Symptoms • Mucus buildup in the some internal organs • Abnormal absorption of nutrients in the small intestine

  23. Sickle Cell Anemia • Another recessive disorder • Affects one out of 400 African-Americans • Hemoglobin is the O2 carrying protein in red blood cells • SCA is an inherited blood disease where hemoglobin clumps together  • causes red blood cells to stiffen and curl into a sickle/crescent shape • Because of this, the RBC cannot transport O2 effectively • Symptoms • Physical weakness, pain, organ damage, and even paralysis

  24. Human Chromosomal Disorders Recessive Disorders • Cystic Fibrosis • Excess mucus in lungs, digestive tract, liver • More susceptible to pneumonia, infection • Early death ~ average age of 37 • Tay-Sachs • Lipid accumulation in brain cells, mental retardation • Blindness, death in childhood Dominant Disorder • Huntington’s disease • Deterioration of nervous system, uncontrollable movements • Develops in middle age, death soon after

  25. Dominantly Inherited Disorders • Some human disorders • Are due to dominant alleles  only need 1 dominant allele • Example is achondroplasia • Form of dwarfismlethal when homozygous for the dominant allele

  26. Another Dominant Disorder • Huntington’s disease (HD) • degenerative disease of nervous system • No obvious phenotypic effects until about 35 to 40 years of age HD Normal
