2. Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance: simply states that chromosomes are carriers of genetic information (Walter Sutton)

3. Human Chromosomes (Karyotype) Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes, 1 pair of sex chromosomes Fruit flies have 3 pairs of autosomes, 1 pair of sex chromosomes

4. Female eggs = XX Male sperm = XY Possible offspring are shown in square: 50% male 50% female What happens when an allele is located on the X chromosome? Males only get ONE !

5. These are a few of the known alleles located on the X chromosome Disorders that are recessive are masked in females by the other X chromosome.

6. Sex Linked Genes Genes located on the X chromosome are inherited with that X. When doing crosses you must include the sex chromosomes in your cross. Use superscript letters for the allele. Example: In fruit flies, eye color is a sex linked trait. Red is dominant to whit e. Females Males X R X R X R Y X R X r X r Y X r FRUIT FLY CHROMOSOMES Drosophila melanogaster

15. Hemophilia also known as "bleeder's disease", blood does not clot properly disease was present in the royal family, starting with Queen Victoria Show the cross between a female with hemophilia and a normal man:

19. Fragile X Syndrome caused by triplet repeats in a gene on the X chromosome causes mental retardation named because the X chromosome had an odd appearance - the tip of the chromosome seemed to be attached only by a small thread the number of repeats of the gene determines the severity of the disease
