  1. Human Chromosomes and Genes SanjayaAdikari Department of Anatomy

  2. DNA • DNA is the genetic material • DNA is organized into chromosomes

  3. Chromosomes DNA histone proteins non-histone proteins chromatin chromosome

  4. chromatids short arm (p) cell division centromere long arm (q) telomere Chromosomes….

  5. Autosomes and sex chromosomes • Total of 46 chromosomes • 23 pairs of chromosomes • 22 pairs of autosomes • 1 pair of sex chromosomes, XX or XY

  6. Karyotype • Chromosome constitution of a cell • Normal male 46,XY • Normal female 46,XX

  7. Karyograph Karyotyping

  8. Homologous pair Karyograph

  9. 1 2 3 4 5 6 diploid haploid Haploid and diploid

  10. in meiosis, gametes Somatic cell diploid haploid

  11. Genes • Gene is a sequence of DNA coding for a polypeptide

  12. Exon 1 Intron 1 genes Exon 2 non coding regions Intron 2 Exon 3 Intron 3 Exon 4 Gene chromosome

  13. Homologous pair Genes residing at the same level of the homologous pair of chromosomes are called alleles Alleles are in the same locus Locus A A Locus and alleles

  14. Homozygous and heterozygous AA aa Homozygous Aa AB Heterozygous

  15. Recessive and dominant characters Dominant characters are expressed in the heterozygote* Recessive characters are expressed only in the homozygote# T t * heterozygote=person with heterozygous genotype #homozygote=person with homozygous genotype

  16. TT => tall Tt => tall tt => short ‘Tall’ is the dominant character ‘Short’ is the recessive character

  17. Blood groups ABO group-A group- B group-AB group-O AA AO BB BO AB OO Locus A A Genetic polymorphism
