Gene Linkage Inheritance Patterns for ---Two Genes on the Same Chromosome ---Genes on the Sex Chromosomes
Sex Determination Sex Chromosomes: homologous chromosomes that differ in size and genetic composition between males and females
Sex Determination Autosome: any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome Humans have 22 autosome pairs and 1 pair of sex chromosomes
Sex Determination Female Male XX x XY X X XX XX X Y XY XY Phenotypic Ratio of Offspring ½ Female + ½ Male
Xh Females can be homozygous or heterozygous for traits on the X chromosome Males are hemizygous for traits on the X chromosome Dad XhY Sex Linked Genes Hemophilic Male Non-hemophilic Female (father is hemophilic) XhY x XHXh XH Xh XHXh XhXh Xh Y XHY XhY Phenotypic Ratio of Offspring ¼ hemophilic males + ¼ non-hemophilic males ¼ hemophilic females + ¼ non-hemophilic females

Genetic Map Units 1% recombination = 1 map unit 108 + 112 x 100 = 22% 1000 These genes are located 22 map units apart on the same chromosome. Map is drawn as: R B I 22 map units I

Gene Linkage Summary • Linked genes tend to be inherited together in their original, parental arrangement. B. Alleles of linked genes can be separated by crossing over (recombination) during meiosis. • Distance between genes is calculated as 1% recombination = 1 map unit. • Gene distances can be calculated for genes that are less than 50 map units apart. At 50 map units and beyond, we cannot distinguish between genes far apart on the same chromosome and genes on separate chromosomes.
