1 Section Objectives: Distinguish between alleles for incomplete dominance and codominance. Explain the patterns of multiple allelic and polygenic inheritance. Analyze the pattern of sex-linked inheritance. Summarize how internal and external environments affect gene expression.

2 What You’ll Learn You will compare the inheritance of recessive and dominant traits in humans. You will analyze the inheritance patterns of traits with incomplete dominance and codominance. You will determine the inheritance of sex-linked traits.

3 Telemeres Telomeres have been compared with the plastic tips on shoelaces because they prevent chromosome ends from fraying and sticking to each other, which would scramble an organism's genetic information to cause cancer, other diseases or death. Yet, each time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter. When they get too short, the cell no longer can divide and becomes inactive or "senescent" or dies. This process is associated with aging, cancer and a higher risk of death. So telomeres also have been compared with a bomb fuse.

4 Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Patterns of inheritance that are explained by Mendel’s experiments are often referred to as simple. However, many inheritance patterns are more complex than those studied by Mendel.

5 Exceptions to Simple Mendelian Genetics
incomplete dominance- neither gene is dominant results in a new trait- Heterozygous- mix -ex. red X white = pink co-dominance- sickle-cell disease. Both alleles expressed equally Heterozygous- both traits are seen ex. black X white = checkered or spotted. Test to determine possible phenotypes

6 Sickle-cell disease- codominance
Abnormally shaped blood cells, slow blood flow, block small vessels, and result in tissue damage and pain. Individuals who are heterozygous for the allele produce both normal and sickled hemoglobin, an example of. Cause- the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin differs by one amino acid from normal hemoglobin. Cross RR’ X RR’ and Predict offspring probability Sickle-cell disease- codominance The change in shape occurs in the body’s narrow capillaries after the hemoglobin delivers oxygen to the cells. Normal red blood cell Sickle cell Individuals who are heterozygous are said to have the sickle-cell trait because they can show some signs of sickle-cell-related disorders if the availability of oxygen is reduced.

7 Polygenic Inheritance
Because of embryonic development- even identical twins have different fingerprints A group of alleles act together for one trait Height, & eye color Fingerprints! Controlled by multiple genes All are different!

8 Skin color: A polygenic trait
Although many of your traits were inherited through simple Mendelian patterns or through multiple alleles, many other human traits are determined by polygenic inheritance. In the early 1900s, the idea that polygenic inheritance occurs in humans was first tested using data collected on skin color. Scientists found that when light-skinned people mate with dark-skinned people, their offspring have intermediate skin colors.

9 Skin color: A polygenic trait
This graph shows the expected distribution of human skin color if controlled by one, three, or four genes. Number of Genes Involved in Skin Color Expected distribution- 4 genes Observed distribution of skin color Expected distribution- 1 gene Number of individuals Expected distribution- 3 genes Light Right Range of skin color

10 Polygenic inheritance
Polygenic inheritance is the inheritance pattern of a trait that is controlled by two or more genes. The genes may be on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes, and each gene may have two or more alleles. Uppercase and lowercase letters are used to represent the alleles.

11 Polygenic inheritance
However, the allele represented by an uppercase letter is not dominant. All heterozygotes are intermediate in phenotype. In polygenic inheritance, each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes a small, but equal, portion to the trait being expressed.

12 Polygenic inheritance
The result is that the phenotypes usually show a continuous range of variability from the minimum value of the trait to the maximum value.

13 Multiple phenotypes from multiple alleles
Traits controlled by more than two alleles (a single pair of genes) have multiple alleles. These alleles may exhibit classic dominance, they may mask each other, they may add to or subtract from each other, or some combination of these effects. Adding one or more alleles to the equation exponentially increases the number of possible expressions for a gene. Example 1: Human Blood Type Example 2: Human Hair Color

14 What is the difference between the polygenic inheritance pattern and multiple alleles?
Polygenic inheritance pattern refers to many--poly--genes. It describes a trait that is the result of a combination of proteins from genes on different locations within a chromosome or on chromosomes that are not homologous, meaning not paired. The gene on one chromosome pair contributes part of the trait, and the genes on other pairs contribute other components. Eye color is a good example of the polygenic inheritance pattern. The appearance of the eye results from flecks of colors, each resulting from the action of a different gene pair. The polygenic inheritance pattern is also responsible for height, skin color, and hair color, among others. Keep in mind that each of these genes still has the possibility of having two recessive alleles, two dominant, or one of each, or the alleles can be incompletely dominant. Because of the numerous combinations, there is a range of phenotypes, not just two or three, as in a single gene. With a single gene pair, there is an either/or situation; the characteristics are discontinuous, or distinct from each other. There are many heights to which humans grow; There is a range of skin colors, not just chocolate or vanilla; the same applies to weight, hair color and texture, foot size, and some genetic disorders. When two individuals at opposite ends of the continuum mate, the probability is greatest that the offspring's characteristic will be intermediate. If the different phenotype frequencies are graphed, their distribution resembles a bell curve

15 Alleles refer to different versions of the same gene.
A single gene can have multiple alleles. Contrast difference is multiple alleles refers to different versions of one gene and polygenic traits refers to a single trait which is controlled by multiple genes (each with multiple alleles). Polygenic traits don't follow patterns of mendelian inheritance

16 Multiple Alleles Govern Blood Type
Human Blood Types Genotypes Surface Molecules Phenotypes A A lA lA or lAli lB lB or lBi B B lA lB A and B AB ii None O Determining blood type is necessary before a person can receive a blood transfusion because the red blood cells of incompatible blood types could clump together, causing death. Your immune system recognizes the red blood cells as belonging to you. If cells with a different surface molecule enter your body, your immune system will attack them.

17 Blood type Blood factors- A & B- both are dominant
O is the absence of either A or B Genotypes possible AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, OO Phenotypes A, B, AB & O A person has two alleles. May be: - two A antigen (blood type A) - two B antigen (blood type B) - one each of A and B antigens (blood type AB) - or the O antigen (blood type O) Human blood types can be type A (IAIA or IA i) type B (IBIB or IBi) type AB (IAIB) or type 0 (ii).

18 Phenotype A Surface molecule A The lA allele is dominant to i, so inheriting either the lAi alleles or the lA lA alleles from both parents will give you type A blood. Surface molecule A is produced.

19 Phenotype B The lB allele is also dominant to i.
Surface molecule B The lB allele is also dominant to i. To have type B blood, you must inherit the lB allele from one parent and either another lB allele or the i allele from the other. Surface molecule B is produced.

20 Phenotype AB The lA and lB alleles are codominant.
Surface molecule B The lA and lB alleles are codominant. This means that if you inherit the lA allele from one parent and the lB allele from the other, your red blood cells will produce both surface molecules and you will have type AB blood. Surface molecule A

21 Phenotype O The i allele is recessive and produces no surface molecules. Therefore, if you are homozygous ii, your blood cells have no surface molecules and you have blood type O.

22 Blood Types Can AB X O have a type O child? Explain

24 Rh negative-problem Mother Rh -, Father Rh+, Fetus Rh+
mother may build up antibodies that may cross the placenta to destroy the babies RBC. The more pregnancies- the more antibodies mother given a rhogram shot to stop the antibody build up

25 Environmental Influences
The genetic makeup of an organism at fertilization determines only the organism’s potential to develop and function. As the organism develops, many factors can influence how the gene is expressed, or even whether the gene is expressed at all. Two such influences are the organism’s external and internal environments.

26 Influence of external environment
Temperature, nutrition, light, chemicals, and infectious agents all can influence gene expression.

27 Influence of external environment
In arctic foxes temperature has an effect on the expression of coat color.

28 Influence of external environment
External influences can also be seen in leaves. Leaves can have different sizes, thicknesses, and shapes depending on the amount of light they receive.

29 Influence of internal environment
The internal environments of males and females are different because of hormones and structural differences. An organism’s age can also affect gene function.

30 Sex-Linked Traits in Humans
Many human traits are determined by genes that are carried on the sex chromosomes; most of these genes are located on the X chromosome. The pattern of sex-linked inheritance is explained by the fact that males, who are XY, pass an X chromosome to each daughter and a Y chromosome to each son.

31 Sex-Linked Traits in Humans
Females, who are XX, pass one of their X chromosomes to each child. Male Female Female Male Sperm Eggs Eggs Sperm Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Male

32 Sex-Linked Traits in Humans
If a son receives an X chromosome with a recessive allele, the recessive phenotype will be expressed because he does not inherit on the Y chromosome from his father a dominant allele that would mask the expression of the recessive allele. Two traits that are governed by X-linked recessive inheritance in humans are red-green color blindness and hemophilia.

33 Red-green color blindness
People who have red-green color blindness can’t differentiate these two colors. Color blindness is caused by the inheritance of a recessive allele at either of two gene sites on the X chromosome.

34 Hemophilia: An X-linked disorder
Hemophilia A is an X-linked disorder that causes a problem with blood clotting. About one male in every has hemophilia, but only about one in 100 million females inherits the same disorder. Males inherit the allele for hemophilia on the X chromosome from their carrier mothers. One recessive allele for hemophilia will cause the disorder in males. Females would need two recessive alleles to inherit hemophilia.

35 Changes in Chromosome Numbers
What would happen if an entire chromosome or part of a chromosome were missing from the complete set? As you have learned, abnormal numbers of chromosomes in offspring usually, but not always, result from accidents of meiosis. Many abnormal phenotypic effects result from such mistakes.

36 Abnormal numbers of autosomes
Humans who have an extra whole or partial autosome are trisomic—that is, they have three of a particular autosomal chromosome instead of just two. In other words, they have 47 chromosomes. To identify an abnormal number of chromosomes, a sample of cells is obtained from an individual or from a fetus.

44 Genetically Inherited Human Disorders: Autosomal recessive disorders:
Parents can be carriers & not have disease Show up only in the homozygous recessive person (aa) who inherits a recessive allele from both parents, who were carriers (Aa xAa). (25% chance of this happening)

45 Simple Recessive Heredity
Most genetic disorders are caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fairly common genetic disorder among white Americans.

46 Cystic fibrosis Approximately one in 28 white Americans carries the recessive allele, and one in 2500 children born to white Americans inherits the disorder. Due to a defective protein in the plasma membrane, cystic fibrosis results in the formation and accumulation of thick mucus in the lungs and digestive tract.

47 Autosomal recessive disorders: Cystic fibrosis:
body cannot make needed chloride channel, high concentrations of extra-cellular chloride causes mucous to build up, infections, pneumonia. Homozygous recessives (cc) carriers- 1/20 white Diet, antibiotics and treatment can extend life to 25 years or more.

48 Tay-Sachs disease Tay-Sachs (tay saks) disease is a recessive disorder of the central nervous system. In this disorder, a recessive allele results in the absence of an enzyme that normally breaks down a lipid produced and stored in tissues of the central nervous system. Because this lipid fails to break down properly, it accumulates in the cells.

49 Typical Pedigree for Tay-Sachs
1 2 Tay-Sachs II 4 1 2 3 III 1 2 3 1 IV

50 Autosomal recessive disorders:
Sickle-cell disease The most common inherited disease of African-Americans (1:400 affected). Homozygous recessives (ss) make abnormal form of hemoglobin that deforms red blood cells and causes a cascade of symptoms (clogging of blood vessels, organ damage, kidney failure).

51 Phenylketonuria Phenylketonuria (fen ul kee tun YOO ree uh), also called (PKU), is a recessive disorder that results from the absence of an enzyme that converts one amino acid, phenylalanine, to a different amino acid, tyrosine. Because phenylalanine cannot be broken down, it and its by-products accumulate in the body and result in severe damage to the central nervous system.

52 Phenylketonuria A PKU test is normally performed on all infants a few days after birth. Infants affected by PKU are given a diet that is low in phenylalanine until their brains are fully developed. Ironically, the success of treating phenylketonuria infants has resulted in a new problem.

53 Phenylketonuria If a female who is homozygous recessive for PKU becomes pregnant, the high phenylalanine levels in her blood can damage her fetus—the developing baby. This problem occurs even if the fetus is heterozygous and would be phenotypically normal.

54 Phenylketonuria Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine

55 Simple Dominant Heredity
Many traits are inherited just as the rule of dominance predicts. Remember that in Mendelian inheritance, a single dominant allele inherited from one parent is all that is needed for a person to show the dominant trait.

56 Simple dominant traits
A cleft chin, widow’s peak hairline, hitchhiker’s thumb, almond shaped eyes, thick lips, and the presence of hair on the middle section of your fingers all are examples of dominant traits.

57 Huntington’s disease Huntington’s disease is a lethal genetic disorder caused by a rare dominant allele. It results in a breakdown of certain areas of the brain.

58 Huntington’s disease Ordinarily, a dominant allele with such severe effects would result in death before the affected individual could have children and pass the allele on to the next generation. But because the onset of Huntington’s disease usually occurs between the ages of 30 and 50, an individual may already have had children before knowing whether he or she is affected.

59 Section Objectives: Interpret a pedigree.
Identify human genetic disorders caused by inherited recessive alleles. Predict how a human trait can be determined by a simple dominant allele.

64 Question 2 What must happen for a person to show a recessive phenotype? Answer The person must inherit a recessive allele for the trait from both parents.

65 Autosomal dominant disorders
Polydactyl (extra fingers or toes): PP or Pp = extra digits, aa = 5 digits. 98% of all people in the world are homozygous recessive (pp).

66 Sex- A genetic trait The 23rd pair of chromosomes determine sex
Male= XY & Female = XX each time fertilization occurs, there is a 50/50 chance the offspring will be maleThe MALE determines a baby’s sex Autosomes- all chromosomes except for the sex chromosomes Autosomes for males & females are the same Sex- A genetic trait

67 Sex chromosomes Weird Info A platypus has 10 sex chromosomes
Sex can be chosen Ex. X is larger- use filter

68 Twins Fraternal vs. Identical

69 Sex-linked Certain genes on the X chromosome are missing from the Y chromosome

70 Sex determination In humans the diploid number of chromosomes is 46, or 23 pairs. There are 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes called autosomes. Homologous autosomes look alike. The 23rd pair of chromosomes differs in males and females.

71 Sex determination These two chromosomes, which determine the sex of an individual, are called sex chromosomes and are indicated by the letters X and Y.

72 Sex determination If you are female, your 23rd pair of chromosomes are homologous, XX. X X Female If you are male, your 23rd pair of chromosomes XY, look different. X Y Male

73 Sex determination Males usually have one X and one Y chromosome and produce two kinds of gametes, X and Y. Females usually have two X chromosomes and produce only X gametes. It is the male gamete that determines the sex of the offspring.

74 Sex determination XY Male X Y X XX Female XY Male XX Female X

75 Sex-linked inheritance
Traits controlled by genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked traits. The alleles for sex-linked traits are written as superscripts of the X or Y chromosomes. Because the X and Y chromosomes are not homologous, the Y chromosome has no corresponding allele to one on the X chromosome and no superscript is used.

76 Sex-linked inheritance
Also remember that any recessive allele on the X chromosome of a male will not be masked by a corresponding dominant allele on the Y chromosome.

77 Sex-linked inheritance
White-eyed male (XrY) F2 Females: Red-eyed female (XRXR) all red eyed Males: 1/2 red eyed 1/2 white eyed F1 All red eyed

78 Sex-linked inheritance
The genes that govern sex-linked traits follow the inheritance pattern of the sex chromosome on which they are found. Click here to view movie.

79 sex-linked traits The mother has a 50/50 chance of passing it on to each child If the son receives a recessive X from the mom, he will express the recessive phenotype b/c no dominant allele is available from the father. If the father- the dominant characteristic would hide it traits are determined by genes carried on sex chromosomes If a trait is X linked, males pass it to all their daughters and none of their sons.

80 sex-linked traits Determined by alleles carried only on the x chromosome- Ex. Colorblindness & Hemophilia (bleeding disease) color blindness - on X chromosomes- can’t distinguish between some colors; red and green has no allele on the Y chromosome

81 sex-linked traits Female- Xx- 1 recessive with the trait is dominated by the normal and no disease shows up female xx- 2 recessive w. disease shows up If the recessive X-linked trait is inherited it shows up- XY-shows up

84 Genetic Disorders & sex chromosomes
Hemophilia Free bleeders disease A recessive trait Males get it more frequently Females must get the gene from both parents Dyslexia - a genetic disorder that is also called word blindness Caused by dominant gene See & write words backwards

85 CYU 27.2 What is incomplete dominance?
Neither gene is totally dominant over the other What 2 gene combinations can a person with type A blood have? AO or AA Why are there more color blind males than females? Recessive traits on X always show up

86 Abnormal numbers of autosomes
Metaphase chromosomes are photographed; the chromosome pictures are then enlarged and arranged in pairs by a computer according to length and location of the centromere.

87 Abnormal numbers of autosomes
This chart of chromosome pairs is called a karyotype, and it is valuable in identifying unusual chromosome numbers in cells.

88 Down syndrome: Trisomy 21
Down syndrome is the only autosomal trisomy in which affected individuals survive to adulthood. It occurs in about one in 700 live births.

89 Down syndrome: Trisomy 21
Down syndrome is a group of symptoms that results from trisomy of chromosome 21. Individuals who have Down syndrome have at least some degree of mental retardation. The incidence of Down syndrome births is higher in older mothers, especially those over 40.

90 Abnormal numbers of sex chromosomes
Many abnormalities in the number of sex chromosomes are known to exist. An X chromosome may be missing (designated as XO) or there may be an extra one (XXX or XXY). There may also be an extra Y chromosome (XYY).

91 Abnormal numbers of sex chromosomes
Any individual with at least one Y chromosome is a male, and any individual without a Y chromosome is a female. Most of these individuals lead normal lives, but they cannot have children and some have varying degrees of mental retardation.

92 27.3 Genetic Disorders Nondisjunction
About 200 genetic disorders controlled by X chromosome produces 1 cell with an extra chromosome & one cell lacking a chromosome Use an O for the missing Ex. XO Some Disorders can be prevented if couple has only girls Would you choose the sex? Nondisjunction

93 PKU Genetic disorder in which some chemicals in the body do not break down as thy should Chemicals can damage brain cells Today- children tested at birth Can be controlled with diet & can grow normally

94 nondisjunction The frequency of nondisjunction is quite high in humans, but the results are usually so devastating to the growing zygote that miscarriage occurs very early in the pregnancy. If the individual survives, he or she usually has a set of symptoms – a syndrome - caused by the abnormal dose of each gene product from that chromosome.

95 Syndromes Extra chromosome Chromosomes missing XXY- male XO – female
YO- fetus dies An XO female & XXY male cannot make sex cells but they can live Extra chromosome XXY- male 3 of the 21st chromosome causes Down’s Syndrome (Trisomy 21)

96 Human disorders due to chromosome alterations in autosomes
Down syndrome characteristic facial features, short stature; heart defects susceptibility to respiratory disease, shorter lifespan prone to developing early Alzheimer's and leukemia often sexually underdeveloped and sterile, mental retardation

97 Optical Illusions

98 Question 1 Which of the following inherited diseases would a black American be most likely to inherit? A. cystic fibrosis B. Tay-Sachs disease C. phenylketonuria D. sickle-cell disease The answer is D.

99 Question 2 Trisomy usually results from _______.
A. polygenic inheritance B. incomplete dominance C. nondisjunction D. twenty-two pairs of chromosomes The answer is C.

100 Question 3 How do red blood cells of phenotype O differ from the cells of the other phenotypes? Answer Red blood cells of phenotype O display no surface molecules.

101 Mendelian Inheritance of Human Traits
A pedigree is a family tree of inheritance. Most human genetic disorders are inherited as rare recessive alleles, but a few are inherited as dominant alleles.

102 When Heredity Follows Different Rules
Some alleles can be expressed as incomplete dominance or codominance. There may be many alleles for one trait or many genes that interact to produce a trait. Cells have matching pairs of homologous chromosomes called autosomes. Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine the sex of an individual.

103 When Heredity Follows Different Rules
Inheritance patterns of genes located on sex chromosomes are due to differences in the number and kind of sex chromosomes in males and in females. The expression of some traits is affected by the internal and external environments of the organism.

104 Complex Inheritance of Human Traits
The majority of human traits are controlled by multiple alleles or by polygenic inheritance. The inheritance patterns of these traits are highly variable. Sex-linked traits are determined by inheritance of sex chromosomes. X-linked traits are usually passed from carrier females to their male offspring. Y-linked traits are passed only from male to male.

105 Complex Inheritance of Human Traits
Nondisjunction may result in an abnormal number of chromosomes. Abnormal numbers of autosomes usually are lethal. A karyotype can identify unusual numbers of chromosomes in an individual.

106 Why is genetics important?
Genes govern the traits of all animals and plants Identify genetic disorders to help control them by diet or take preventive measures Help identify couples that may pass on hereditary disease Also- may be used in repairing damaged areas in the body in the future.

107 Genetic Counseling Traits run in families
Counselor can help answer questions How did their baby get the disorder? If the baby is health, does it have a problem gene? Is the trait dominant or recessive? What will happen to the baby’s health as it gets older? What are the chances that future children will have the trait?

108 Genetic counselors can ID disease risk
What problems would you have if your culture valued boys over girls and only boys were born for 10 years? Should insurance companies pay medical costs of couples who cannot afford to pay for determining the sex?

119 F1 is the first filial generation, offspring of the parental cross
F1 is the first filial generation, offspring of the parental cross. F2, or second filial generation, is the offspring of the cross of two F1 individuals. Since each F1 parent can form four possible types of gametes, four different phenotypes occur among the offspring in the proportions shown. The expected F2 phenotypic ratio is: 9 widow’s peak and short fingers 3 window’s peak and long fingers 3 straight hairline and short fingers 1 straight hairline and long fingers

120 Genetic Disorders Patterns of Inheritance
When studying human disorders, biologists often construct pedigree charts to show the pattern of inheritance of a characteristic within a family. The particular pattern indicates the manner in which a characteristic is inherited. Genetic counselors construct pedigree charts to determine the mode of inheritance of a condition.

121 Autosomal recessive disorders have these characteristics:
Affected children can have unaffected parents. Heterozygotes (Aa) have a normal phenotype. Two affected parents will always have affected children. Affected individuals with homozygous dominant mates will have unaffected children. Close unaffected relatives who reproduce are more likely to have affected children if they have joint affected relatives. Both males ad females are affected with equal frequency. How would you know the individual at the asterisk is heterozygous?

122 Autosomal dominant disorders have these characteristics:
Affected children will have at least one affected parent. Heterozygotes (Aa) are affected. Two affected parents can produce an unaffected child. Two unaffected parents will not have affected children. Both males and females are affected with equal frequency. How would you know the individual at the asterisk is heterozygous?

123 Height is a multifactorial trait.
When you record the heights of a large group of young men, the values follow a bell-shaped curve. Such a continuous distribution is due to control of a trait by several sets of alleles. Environmental effects (i.e., differences in nutrition) are also involved.

124 CYU How can an error in meiosis cause a sex cell to have the wrong number of chromosomes? Name 3 genetic disorders and tell how each one of them is controlled by genes. How can a genetic counselor use a pedigree to help families with genetic disorders? Why do you think an XO female can survive but a YO male will die before birth?

125 EOC 27.1 The role of chromosomes
Each human sex cell has 23 chromosomes. Each human body cell has 46 chromosomes arranged in pairs Amniocentesis is a way to look at the chromosomes of a fetus The sex of a person is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes. Human females have XX and males have XY

126 27.2 Human Traits If a person has a dominant trait, one or both of the parents will also have the trait. If a person has a recessive trait, both of the parents will also carry the gene for the trait. Traits in which neither gene is totally dominant over the other show incomplete dominance Three genes control blood types in humans but each person has only 2 genes for this trait Males show recessive traits located on the X chromosomes more often than females do.

127 27.3 Genetic disorders Nondisjunction
If chromosome pairs do not pull apart during meiosis, errors in chromosome number result. Hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and dyslexia are genetic disorders. A genetic counselor uses knowledge of genetics to predict & explain disorders in children

128 Why doesn’t it always come up with the perfect %?
What sex chromosome does the mother pass on? Is there any option? What sex chromosome does the father pass on? Who determines if a boy is born? What are the chances of having a boy? If you Flip a coin, how often would you expect to get heads? Do you?

139 Question 6 What is the difference between simple Mendelian inheritance and inheritance by incomplete dominance?

140 In Mendelian inheritance, heterozygous individuals will display the inherited dominant trait of the homozygotes. However, when traits are inherited in an incomplete dominance pattern, the phenotype of heterozygous individuals is intermediate between those of the two homozygotes.

141 Question 7 If a trait is Y-linked, males pass the Y-linked allele to _______ of their daughters. A. a quarter B. half C. all D. none
