Genetic Disorders There are several thousand genetic disorders, which can be classified into one of several groups: autosomal dominantautosomal dominant disorders, which are transmitted by genes inherited from only one parent; autosomal recessiveautosomal recessive disorders, which are transmitted by genes inherited from both parents; sex-linked disorders, or ones associated with the X (female) and Y (male) chromosome; multifactorialmultifactorial genetic disorders

Slide 11

Pedigree Chart Shows how a trait is transmitted from one generation to the next within a family. Many traits such as the shape of eyes or ears are polygenic, means they are controlled by many genes and phenotypes of an organism is only partly determined by its genotype. Many traits are strongly influenced by environmental, or nongenetic, factors, including nutrition and exercise.

Sex Linked Genes genes located on sex chromosomes. A.Sex-Linked Disorders or Traits disorders or traits caused by genes on the sex chromosomes. A sex linked trait has alleles on only one of the sex chromosomes usually the X because it is much larger than the Y chromosome Sex Linked Genes genes located on sex chromosomes. A.Sex-Linked Disorders or Traits disorders or traits caused by genes on the sex chromosomes. A sex linked trait has alleles on only one of the sex chromosomes usually the X because it is much larger than the Y chromosome Females have two X chromosomes XX, and males have one X and one Y chromosome XY (X-linked alleles are ALWAYS expressed in males, because males have only one X chromosome)

Slide 25

1.Colorblindness a.the inability to distinguish between certain colors caused by an X linked recessive allele b.Caused by defective version of any one of three genes associated with color vision located on the X chromosome c.Colorblindness is rare in females Males have just one X chromosome. Thus, all X-linked alleles are expressed in males, even if they are recessive. In order for a recessive allele to be expressed in females, there must be two copies of the allele, one on each of the two X chromosomes. This explains how some traits seem to be inherited by one sex more than the other. If a male inherits a sex-linked trait from his mother, he is much more likely to show the disorder than a female because he has only one X chromosome. A woman, who has two X chromosomes is more likely to be a carrier. 1.Colorblindness a.the inability to distinguish between certain colors caused by an X linked recessive allele b.Caused by defective version of any one of three genes associated with color vision located on the X chromosome c.Colorblindness is rare in females Males have just one X chromosome.

Slide 26

Example Colorblindness is a recessive sex-linked trait. Cross a woman who is a carrier (she does not have it) with a color blind man. Key C = see color c = color blind Cross X C X c x X c Y Genotypes possible: X C X c, X C Y, X c X c, X c Y Phenotypes: Normal femaleNormal male C-blind femaleC-blind male

A circle represents a female. A square represents a male. A horizontal line connecting a male and female represents a marriage. A vertical line and a bracket connect the parents to their children. A half-shaded circle or square indicates that a person is a carrier of the trait. A completely shaded circle or square indicates that a person expresses the trait. A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a person neither expresses the trait nor is a carrier of the trait.

X-inactivation - one X chromosome is switched off The turned-off chromosome forms a dense region in the nucleus known as a Barr body. Not found in males. WHY? Barr body

Slide 32

X-inactivation IN CATS one X = orange spots another X = black spots calico tortoise shell In some cells/parts of the body one X is switched off. In other cells/parts of the body the other X is switched off. As a result, the fur will be a mixture of colors. (males can only have one color of spots WHY?) In some cells/parts of the body one X is switched off. In other cells/parts of the body the other X is switched off. As a result, the fur will be a mixture of colors. (males can only have one color of spots WHY?)

Homologous chromosomes fail to separate Meiosis I: Nondisjunction Meiosis II Non-Disjunction homologous chromosomes do not separate (ex. Down Syndrome- Trisomy 21) - Can involve autosomes or sex chromosomes Non-Disjunction homologous chromosomes do not separate (ex. Down Syndrome- Trisomy 21) - Can involve autosomes or sex chromosomes Chromosomal Disorders:

Restriction enzyme Chromosomes contain large amounts of DNA called repeats that do not code for proteins. This DNA varies from person to person. Here, one sample has 12 repeats between genes A and B, while the second sample has 9 repeats. Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA into fragments containing genes and repeats. Note that the repeat fragments from these two samples are of different lengths. DNA Fingerprinting -
