Human chromosomes
1. Most of our cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
a. These cells are called somatic cells or body cells.
b. Two exceptions are the gametes (sex cells), sperm and eggs, which have one copy of each chromosome. Sperm and egg cells each have 23 chromosomes.

Human chromosomes
2. There are two types of chromosomes.a. Autosomes: Of the 46 chromosomes, 44 of them
(22 pairs of chromosomes) are called autosomes (non-sex chromosomes).
b. Sex chromosomes: The last two chromosomes are called the sex chromosomes because they determine the sex of the person. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
![Page 4: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
3. Gametesa. All gametes are haploid. In humans, that
means each egg cell and each sperm cell has 1 copy of each chromosome for a total of 23 chromosomes.
i. Egg cells: All human egg cells carry 23 chromosomes, one of which is a single X chromosome. This is written as 23, X.
ii. Sperm cells: In males, there are two types of sperm cells- one carries an X chromosome (23, X) and one carries a Y chromosome (23, Y).

iii. When a sperm and egg cell combine, half of the time the fertilized eggs (also called zygotes) are female (46, XX) and half of the time they are male (46, XY).

4. Scientists can analyze chromosomes by taking a picture of cells during mitosis. It is easiest to view chromosomes during mitosis because they are condensed. From a picture of chromosomes, scientists can cut and paste to arrange the chromosomes in pairs to form a karyotype. They are arranged from largest (pair #1) to smallest (pair #22). The last pair (#23) is the sex chromosomes.

Human Traits1. A pedigree is similar to a family tree- both are
used to show relationships in a family.2. Pedigrees can be used to demonstrate how traits
are passed from one generation to another. 3. Genetic counselors use pedigrees to follow how
genetic disorders are inherited.4. People who are heterozygous for a recessive
genetic disorder (they are unaffected) are called carriers.

Add to your notes:
Sometimes, but not always, carriers of traits (heterozygotes) may be represented as a half-shaded shape or a shape with a dot in the middle.

Human Genes: Blood typing
In humans, blood type is determined by the Rh blood group and the ABO blood group.
1. The Rh blood group determines if your blood is positive or negative.
a. There are two Rh alleles: the Rh+ allele is dominant to the Rh- allele.
b. Your blood is positive if you are Rh+ /Rh+ or Rh+/Rh-. Your blood is negative if you are Rh-/Rh-
![Page 13: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. The ABO group is more complicated. There are three alleles: IA, IB, and i.
a. The IA and IB alleles are codominant. The IA and IB alleles cause expression of carbohydrate chains called antigens on surface of red blood cells. They help your body identify the cells.
b. The i allele is recessive to the other two alleles. The i allele O does not produce antigens.
![Page 14: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

c. The ABO blood group is important in blood transfusions.
i. If the blood recipient has never been exposed to an antigen (A or B) and that antigen enters the body it will cause an immune reaction. This can cause death.

ii. In emergency rooms when there isn’t time to figure out the blood type of the patient, which type of blood will the patient receive? Type O because these blood cells have no A or B antigens. People with Type O blood are called universal donors.
iii. Who is the universal recipient that can receive blood from any donor? Type AB.

Chapter 14-2:Human Chromosomes
![Page 19: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Most genetic disorders are caused by mutations on autosomes, or non-sex chromosomes.
Examples include: 1. Autosomal recessive disorders: albinism, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease
2. Autosomal dominant disorders: most common form of dwarfism (achondroplasia) and Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol)
3. Codominant disorders: sickle-cell disease

Some genetic disorders are caused be genes on the sex chromosomes.
1. Most of these genes are on the X chromosome because the Y chromosome is very small and has few genes. The genes on X chromosome are different from the genes on the Y chromosome.
![Page 23: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. Because females are XX they have two copies of the genes on the X chromosome. For sex-linked traits, females can be homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive.
![Page 24: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3. Because males are XY they have only one copy of the genes on the X chromosome; this is called hemizygous. In males, only one recessive allele on the X chromosome is necessary for the recessive phenotype to be expressed because there is not another allele for this gene on the Y chromosome. Some sex-linked (also known as X-linked) genetic conditions include:
a. Color blindness- the inability to distinguish certain colors
b. Hemophilia- missing protein important for blood clotting
c. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy- progressive weakening of skeletal muscles

Everyone should be able to see a circle, star, and square in the demonstration picture.

Colorblindness- Test BColorblind individuals should see the yellow square.
Color normal individuals should see the yellow square and a "faint" brown circle.

Colorblindness- Test CColorblind individuals should see nothing.
Color normal individuals should see a "faint" brown boat.

Chromosomal Disorders
Remember that meiosis is the reductional cell division that divides one diploid cell to produce four haploid gametes (sex cells, sperm or egg). Normally gametes have one copy of each chromosome.
1. Sometimes chromosomes might not separate properly during meiosis; this is called nondisjunction.
2. If nondisjunction occurs, abnormal numbers of chromosomes (usually one is missing or there is an extra copy of one) are found in gametes and disorders of chromosomal numbers may result.

3. Trisomy: Some chromosomal disorders are caused by having three copies of one chromosome. This is called trisomy. In trisomies, the gamete of one parent donated two of one type of chromosome to the child and the gamete of the other parent donated one chromosome (like normal).
4. Monosomy: Chromosomal disorders characterized by missing one chromosome are called monosomies. In monosomies, the gamete of one parent donated one chromosome and the other did not donate any.
![Page 32: Chapter 14-1: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56812d14550346895d91f4af/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Some examples of chromosomal disorders resulting from nondisjunction:
1. Down syndrome- Trisomy 212. Klinefelter’s syndrome- XXY (male)3. Turner’s syndrome- XO (female)
Add to your notes: As long there is at least one Y chromsome, the karyotype is male.

Human Genome Project
• The human genome project sequenced the human genome. Now the code is being analyzed and scientists are finding genes for many traits and genetic disorders. In gene therapy, a gene that has been mutated and does not work properly is replaced by a normal, working copy of the gene. Gene therapy is a work in progress.
