genetics/1aih9s3qn
Correlative relationship vs. Causal relationship: discuss….

4. Success Criteria
Last Week’s Learning Goals are posted. What are some of the things we need to know about or how to do in order to be successful on a quiz or to know that we have had a full understanding of the material?

5. Friday’s Recap Types of Dominance:
Complete Dominance: Occurs when a dominant trait completely masks the recessive allele.
Incomplete Dominance: Occurs when neither gene is dominant or recessive; the gene effect is mixed; we use 2 different letters for the homologous pair since neither is dominant.
Co-Dominance: Occurs when neither gene is dominant or recessive; gene effects are NOT mixed; therefore, both genes are expressed at the same time!

8. Autosomal Traits We have been looking at autosomal traits so far:
Refers to a trait passed on through the autosomal (non-sex) chromosomes
Autosomal dominant: One or two copies of the trait was passed from one or both parents to cause the trait to appear
Autosomal recessive: Two copies of the recessive trait must be passed on from both the parents in order for it to appear

9. Predicting Gender Two sex chromosomes determine gender: X and Y
Female Genotype: XX
Male Genotype: XY
Predict the probability of a couple having a boy using a Punnett Square

10. Predicting Gender
50% chance of a boy
50% chance of a girl

11. X-Linked Traits All genes found on the ‘X’ chromosome are “linked”.
Many of the genes on the ‘X’ are not on the ‘Y’.
The ‘X’ is larger and has many genes that are not related to gender…
(i.e. colour vision, blood clotting etc.)

12. Are You Colour Blind?
Can you see something in the dots?

13. X-Linked Traits
Refers to a trait that is passed on through the X (female sex)chromosome
If a recessive gene is on the ‘X’:
- In males it will always be expressed since there is no homologous pair on the ‘Y’.
- Therefore (sorry guys) recessive, X-linked diseases are much more common in males!

14. An Example of an X-Linked Disorder Hemophilia: Inability to Stop Bleeding
Since gender and the gene are important, both must be noted. Dominant allele – H Recessive allele – h 𝑋 𝐻 – dominant gene on ‘X’ 𝑋 ℎ – recessive gene on ‘X’ Y – no gene on the ‘Y’

15. Hemophilia Female genotypes 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 𝐻 – Normal
𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 ℎ – Normal but a ‘Carrier’
𝑋 ℎ 𝑋 ℎ – Hemophiliac (very rare)
Male genotypes
𝑋 𝐻 Y– Normal
𝑋 ℎ Y- Hemophiliac
Predict the offspring using a Punnett Square for:
Mother carrier and a normal father

16. Hemophilia 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 ℎ Y 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 𝐻 Y Mom: 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 ℎ Dad: Y 𝑋 𝐻 𝑋 ℎ

17. Pedigrees
Presentation of family information that is easy to read; can show genetic patterns of disease
Circles = females; Squares = males; Diamond = unknown gender
Deceased = diagonal line through
Unaffected = Clear/white; Affected = filled in/black; Carrier = shaded
Marriage = Individuals attached side by side
Children = Vertical line down
Siblings = Individuals coming down off shared horizontal line

18. Seeing Genetic Patterns of Disease Using a Pedigree Chart
Autosomal Disorders are disorders that are passed through the non- sex chromosomes (autosomes)
Autosomal Dominant: If a disease is autosomal dominant, it means you only need to get the abnormal gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease. One of the parents may often have the disease
Autosomal Recessive: An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop
X/Y-Linked Disorders are disorders that are passed through sex chromosomes (X / Y chromosomes)

19. Pedigrees Autosomal Dominant Pedigree X-Linked Pedigree
Autosomal Recessive Pedigree

20. An Example of X-Linked Traits Using a Pedigrees
Muscular Dystrophy is a disease that causes weakening of the muscular- skeletal system, inhibiting those affected from locomotion. There are many forms of this disease.
The Duchenne form of this disease is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome. It is an X-linked recessive disorder. It is more severe than the Becker form of the disease.
This means that substantially more boys than girls are going to be affected by this disease

21. Muscular Dystrophy Pedigree

22. Try it…
Sally and Brian got married and had 3 daughters, Brianna, Roxanne and Racheal. Sally learned that she is a carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Brianna got married to Mike and had two sons, Will and Ryan. Mike appears to be healthy; however Will has muscular dystrophy but Ryan does not. Draw a pedigree.

24. A Case of Mistaken Maternity
We will read the first part together, then in groups work on it together. We will take it up.
