  6. Sex Linked Traits • Genes are found only on the X chromosomes • Disorders (that we will discuss) • Color blind • Hemophilia • XY = Male • XX = Female

  7. Color Blind • Gene represented by a superscript C • Only found on the X chromosome • Can not distinguish reds and greens. The colors appear brown. • 1:12 males 8% of U.S. population • 1:200 females .5% of U.S. population www.ikm.jmu.edu/.../ hemophiliaeurope.html

  11. Colorblind Eye Charts

  12. The color blindness test consists of a set of five charts. Each chart shows a number in one color on a different background color. People with normal color vision will have no problem seeing the numbers on the charts, but people with color blindness will see only random colored dots. Seventy-five percent of color blind people have poor green perception. Of the remaining, 24% have poor redperception, and one percent are affected by a rare tritan type. Statistics for Colorblindness

  13. Hemophilia • Blood does not clot • Represented by a H superscript on the chromosome www.ikm.jmu.edu/.../ hemophiliaeurope.html

  14. Male XY normal blood XHY Hemophilia Female XX normal blood XHX or XXH trait carrier XHXH Hemophilia Possibilities
