Pedigree diagram A pedigree is a diagram of the individuals and their relationships in a family group. People are represented by symbols. Lines show the connections between people. Purpose: To determine the mode inheritance of a genetic disease. To estimate the risk of passing on a genetic disease.TRANSCRIPT

Pedigree diagram A pedigree is a diagram of the
individuals and their relationships in a family group.
People are represented by symbols. Lines show the connections between
people. Purpose:
To determine the mode inheritance of a genetic disease.
To estimate the risk of passing on a genetic disease.

Symbols Males are square. Females are round. Affected individuals
are dark. Normal or unknown
are white. Horizontal lines are
matings. Parents Vertical lines are
between generations

Who is who? The oldest generation is
at the top of the diagram.
Newest generation is at the bottom.
Generations are counted from the oldest generation using Roman numerals. Count top to bottom
Individuals can be numbered. Left to right

Three Types of InheritanceEach type has a distinctive pattern
Autosomal DominantAutosomal RecessiveSex-Linked Recessive

Autosomal Dominant Present in each
generation. No skipping.
Males and Females are equally likely to be affected.
Each affected person has an affected parent.
Unaffected person has unaffected offspring. WHY?
![Page 7: Analyzing family relationships for genetic clues](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082510/5a4d1b0c7f8b9ab05998beb8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Autosomal Recessive Must be
homozygous to be expressed.
If child is rr, then the parents must be _____.
Recessive can skip generations.

Sex-Linked Recessive Recessive may skip
generations. Males have one X,
and males are more likely to be affected.
Never passes from father to son.
An affected male gets his X from his mom, II-2. What is her genotype?X Xc
or Xc Xc

Test the pedigree for a pattern Mark the genotypes. Try the three patterns.
What pattern is possible?Use these letters for Sex Linked only. XA = normalXa = the trait (a genetic disease or abnormality)Y = Y chromosome (males only)
Autosomal Dominant Autosomal Recessive Sex-Linked Recessive

Create a Pedigree Put the male parent to the left of the female. (I
generation) Draw a horizontal line between parents. Draw a line down from the parents to a horizontal line
connecting a group of brothers and sisters. (II generation)
Siblings are entered with the oldest to the left and youngest is to the right.
Draw a line across between a sibling and their spouse. Draw down from this line to their children (grandchildren of I generation). (III generation)
Darken all individuals who are affected. Mark carriers with a half dark/half light symbol.

Check your understandingWhat can you conclude about the parents of a person that has a dominant characteristic? (Check the correct answer below.) --If a person has a dominant trait, the parents will
not have the trait. --If a person has a dominant trait, the parents
might have the trait or they might not have it. --If a person has a dominant trait, at least one of
the parents will have the trait. --If a person has a dominant trait, both of the
parents will have the trait.

Test an Autosomal Dominant Can two individuals that have an
autosomal dominant trait have unaffected children? (Check the correct answer below.)
--If two individuals have a dominant trait, none of their offspring will have the trait.
--If two individuals have a dominant trait, their offspring might or might not have the trait.
--If two individuals have a dominant trait, their offspring will have the trait.

What is the pattern? Label the
generations. Number the
people. Mark the
genotypes. Dominant/
