Human Genetic Disorders and Pedigrees Christopherson
46 TOTAL 23 homologous pairs Human Genetics: Karyotypes 46 TOTAL 23 homologous pairs
Sex Chromosomes • 2 sex chromosomes • Typical Female = XX • Typical Male = XY
Autosomes • Autosomes:Any chromosome that’s not a sex chromosome • 44 Autosomes • 22 pairs of Autosomes
Recessive Disorder Caused by 2 recessive alleles
Albinism Defect of melanin production that results in little or no color in the skin, hair, and eyes
Cystic Fibrosis • Disease that causes the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that: • Clogs the lungs and leads to lung infections • Obstructs the pancreas • Stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food
Sickle Cell Anemia Caused by an abnormal hemoglobin shape which causes the red blood cells to have a crescent shape. Red blood cells carry oxygen.
Caused by a dominant allele Affected individuals are homozygous dominant or heterozygous Dominant Disorder
Huntington’s Disease Causes the break down of brain cells, (neurons) in certain areas of the brain. Causes uncontrolled movements, loss of intellectual faculties, and emotional disturbance.
Linked to sex chromosomes Recessive Disorders – caused by recessive alleles Sex-Linked Disorder
Color Blindness Inability to see colors in the normal way
Hemophilia Inability of the blood to clot properly
What is a Pedigree??? Diagram showing a family tree and patterns of inheritance.
Types of Pedigrees: Recessive Affected Genotypes: bb Unaffected Genotypes: BB or Bb HINT: Recessive Disorders skip generations
Types of Pedigrees: Sex-linked Affected Genotypes: XbXb or XbY Unaffected Genotypes: XBXB or XBXb and XBY HINT: Mainly males are affected
Types of Pedigrees: Dominant Affected Genotypes: BB or Bb Unaffected Genotypes: bb
