2. Human Chromosomes Karyotype- diagram showing the complete set of chromosomes.Karyotype- diagram showing the complete set of chromosomes. A karyotype shows us 46 human chromosomes.A karyotype shows us 46 human chromosomes. 22 pairs are autosomes (main body parts)22 pairs are autosomes (main body parts) 1 pair are sex chromosomes1 pair are sex chromosomes

3. Normal Human Karyotype

4. Determining Sex Females are XX, producing only X gametes. Males are XY, producing both X & Y gametes.

5. Determining Sex Chances of having a boy or girl are always 50%

6. Pedigrees Method of tracking traits within a family. Squares = Males Circles = Females Circles = Females Colored = Trait

7. 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. Pedigree Example

10. It’s in the blood Your blood cells have protein coats that make them unique to other people’s blood cells. The alleles for blood types are both multiple allelic and codominant.

11. Phenotype (Blood Type) Genotype Antigen on Red Blood Cell Safe Transfusions ToFrom Human Blood Groups

13. Genetic Disorders Recessive Disorders Albinism- no pigment Cystic Fibrosis- mucus in lungs PKU – inability to break down phenylalanine Tay-Sachs- breakdown of nervous system

14. Genetic Disorders Dominant Allele Disorders Huntington’s Disease- lose muscle control & mental function Achondroplasia- dwarfism

15. Genetic Disorders Codominant Disorders Sickle Cell Disease- abnormal shaped blood cells causing blood clots

16. Sickle Cell Anemia Found mainly among African-Americans.Found mainly among African-Americans. The Hemoglobin that traps oxygen is deformed so it can’t catch oxygen.The Hemoglobin that traps oxygen is deformed so it can’t catch oxygen. Deformed cells can also clog small blood vessels.Deformed cells can also clog small blood vessels. Caused by a point mutation.Caused by a point mutation.

17. Cystic Fibrosis This is caused when 3-bases of your DNA are deleted.This is caused when 3-bases of your DNA are deleted. RESULTS:RESULTS: Wrong protein is made.Wrong protein is made. Heavy mucus forms in the lungs making it difficult to breathe.Heavy mucus forms in the lungs making it difficult to breathe.

18. Chromosome # 7 CFTR gene The most common allele that causes cystic fibrosis is missing 3 DNA bases. As a result, the amino acid phenylalanine is missing from the CFTR protein. Normal CFTR is a chloride ion channel in cell membranes. Abnormal CFTR cannot be transported to the cell membrane. The cells in the person’s airways are unable to transport chloride ions. As a result, the airways become clogged with a thick mucus. Cause of Cystic Fibrosis

19. Sex linked traits A trait controlled by an allele on the sex chromosomes. - most found on the X-chromosome - males more likely to express these traits

20. Color Blindness Located on the X-chromosome (sex-linked).Located on the X-chromosome (sex-linked).

23. Hemophilia Located on the X-chromosome (sex-linked). Protein for normal blood clotting is missing. Causes an inability of blood to clot.

24. Sex linked traits examples If a male cardinal is red and female is brown, which chromosome is the allele for red feathers found?
