  2. Human Genetics:Patterns of Inheritance for Human Traits

  3. We will be discussing 5 Patterns of Inheritance for Human Traits 1. Autosomal Dominant 2. Autosomal Recessive 3. Sex Linked (X-Linked) 4. Multiple Alleles 5. Polygenic Traits

  4. Autosomal Traits Traits that are determined by a dominant or recessive allele on an autosome (any chromosome other than the sex chromosomes) • Autosomal Dominant examples: a. Huntington’s Disease b. Achondroplasia (dwarfisim) c. Polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) 2. Autosomal Recessive examples: a. Albinism b. Cystic Fibrosis c. Sickle Cell Anemia

  5. Huntington’s Disease (HD) Results in loss of muscle control and mental deterioration No signs are shown until 30’s Brain degeneration Treatment: No cure, but drug treatments are available to help manage symptoms. 1. Dominant Allele Disorders

  6. Achondroplasia Dwarfism Person grows no taller than 4’4 1. Dominant Allele Disorders

  7. Polydactyly The presence of more than the normal number of fingers or toes. Can usually be corrected by surgery. 1. Dominant Allele Disorders

  8. Albinism Lack of pigment in skin, hair, and eyes Mutation in one of several genes which produce proteins in charge of making melanin (pigment in skin). 2. Recessive Allele Disorders

  9. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Caused by recessive allele on chromosome 7 Small genetic change (removes one Amino Acid)  changes protein Results in: Excess mucus in the lungs, liver and digestive tract, gets infection easily, and early death unless treated. 2. Recessive Allele Disorders

  10. Sickle Cell Disease Red blood cells are bent and twisted Get stuck in capillaries  damage tissues Results in weakness, damage to brain and heart 2. Recessive Allele Disorders

  11. 3. Sex Link Traits:Genes on the X and Y chromosomes

  12. How do we determine the sex of an individual?  through sex chromosomes Sex Chromosomes: X and Y Female: XX Male: XY Who is responsible for gender determination in the child? The father because he gives an X or Y to the gametes. The mother only gives an X to the gamete Which sex chromosome is bigger?  the X chromosome (y is much smaller) Lets recall how we determine gender…

  13. X-linked genes are genes found on the X chromosome, symbolized by Xr, XR, Y0. Y-linked genes are found on the Y chromosome, symbolized by X0, YR, Yr Thomas Morgan experimented with the eye color of fruit flies (Drosophilia) to determine X-linkage What are sex-linked genes? genes found on a sex chromosome

  14. X-linked Genes • X-linked recessive traits will show up more often in males because they have only 1 X chromosome • Let’s do a punnett square for a female carrier of an x-linked gene and a dominant male • What will the genotypes be? • XRXr and XRY

  15. Here’s the results • For girls: 0% have the trait • For boys 50% have it. • Probability is higher for boys because whatever X they get determines the trait, for girls they have to get 2 recessive X’s.

  16. Examples of X-linked traits: 1. Color Blindness 2. Hemophilia 3. Muscular Dystrophy 4. Icthyosis simplex (scaly skin)

  17. A person with normal color vision sees a number seven in the circle above. Those who are color blind usually do not see any number at all. Colorblindness

  18. RED-GREEN COLORBLINDNESS: People with red-green color blindness see either a three or nothing at all. Those with normal color vision see an 8. Colorblindness

  19. Hemophilia- Lacking in the ability to clot blood There is a gene on the “X” chromosome that controls blood clotting People who have hemophilia are missing the protein to clot blood They can bleed to death by minor cut. Hemophilia

  20. - Results in weakening/loss of muscles - Caused by defective version of gene that codes for muscle Muscular Dystrophy

  21. Sex-influenced Traits • Sex-Influenced traits are those that are on autosomes, but occur because of the sex hormones in male and female bodies. • Examples: Facial hair Baldness

  22. 4. Multiple Alleles Multiple Alleles – any gene that has 3 or more alleles (not just 1 dominant and 1 recessive) Example: Blood type has 3 alleles: IA= Type A blood (dominant) IB= Type B blood (dominant) i = Type O blood (recessive)

  23. Check out the possible genotypes and phenotypes of blood below:

  24. Blood has both Multiple Allelesand is CoDominant • If you have IAIB as you genes, you have both Type A and Type B blood, also known as Type AB • If you have IAi, i is recessive to IA, so you have type A blood • Q. When would you have Type O blood? • A. When you have ii as your genotype.

  25. 5. Polygenic Traits – traits controlled by 2 or more genes that interact, forming the trait • Usually show a wide range of phenotypes • Ex: Skin color, eye color, foot size, height • Wide range of skin colors because there are more than 4 genes that control this trait. • These may also be influenced by the environment, for example height. If not given the proper nutrition as a child, they might not be as tall as their genes dictate.
