• What is polygenic inheritance?

• What is a multifactorial trait?

• What is sex-linked inheritance?

• Name three X-linked recessive disorders.

These traits are genetically inherited

Answer these questions about your inheritance.

• Do you have a widow’s peak or a straight

hairline?

• Are your earlobes attached or unattached?

• Do you have short or long fingers?

• Do you have freckles?

21.1 Genotype and Phenotype

Page 5: Chapter 21 Lecture Outline - Napa Valley College 105/Mader Huma… · •What is the genotype and the phenotype of an individual? •What are the genotypes for homozygous recessive

Genotype

Genotype – specific genes for a particular trait

written with symbols

– Alleles are alternate forms of a specific gene

at the same position (locus) on a gene (e.g.,

allele for unattached earlobes and attached

lobes); alleles occur in pairs.

– A dominant gene will be expressed and will

mask a recessive gene (Tt or TT).

– A recessive allele is only expressed when a

gene has two of this type of allele.

21.1 Genotype and Phenotype

Page 6: Chapter 21 Lecture Outline - Napa Valley College 105/Mader Huma… · •What is the genotype and the phenotype of an individual? •What are the genotypes for homozygous recessive

6

Genotype

– A homozygous dominant genotype consists

of two dominant alleles (TT or AA).

– A homozygous recessive genotype consists

of two recessive alleles (tt or aa).

– A heterozygous genotype consists of one

dominant allele and one recessive allele (Tt

or Aa).

in humans.

Crosses

• One-trait cross – considers the inheritance of one characteristic

e.g. WW x Ww

• Two-trait cross – considers the inheritance of two characteristics

e.g. WWTT x WwTT

• Gametes only carry one allele, so if an individual has the genotype Ww, what are the possible gametes that this individual can pass on?

Answer: either a W or a w, but not both

Punnett squares

• Punnett squares are the use of a grid to

diagram crosses between individuals by using

the possible parental gametes.

• These allow one to determine the probability

that an offspring will have a particular

genotype and phenotype.

Autosomal recessive disorders

of interest

• Tay-Sachs disease – lack of the enzyme that breaks down fatty acid proteins in lysosomes results in accumulation

• Cystic fibrosis – Cl- ions do not pass normally through a cell membrane, resulting in thick mucus in lungs and other places, often causing infections

• Phenylketonuria (PKU) – lack of an enzyme needed to make a certain amino acid; affects nervous system development

• Sickle-cell disease – red blood cells are sickle-shaped rather than biconcave, resulting in clogged blood vessels

of interest

• Marfan syndrome – defect in the production of the elastic connective tissue protein fibrillin; results in dislocated lens, long limbs and fingers, caved-in chest, and weak wall of aorta

• Osteogenesis imperfecta – defect in collagen synthesis; results in weakened, brittle bones

• Huntington disease – huntington protein has too many glutamine amino acids, leading to the progressive degeneration of brain cells

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis

• If prospective parents carry an allele for a genetic

disorder, they may seek assurance that their offspring

will be free of the disorder.

• Following in vitro fertilization (IVF), the zygote divides.

• When the embryo has eight cells, one may be

removed for genetic testing.

• Only embryos that will not have the genetic disorders

of interest are placed in the uterus to continue

developing.

33

Polygenic inheritance

• Polygenic traits – two or more sets of alleles

govern one trait

– Each dominant allele codes for a product, so

these effects are additive.

– This results in a continuous variation of

phenotypes.

– Environmental effects cause intervening

phenotypes.

– e.g. skin color ranges from very dark to very light

– e.g. height varies among individual humans

Polygenic inheritance

• Multifactorial trait – a polygenic trait that is

particularly influenced by the environment

– e.g. skin color is influenced by sun exposure

– e.g. height can be affected by nutrition

Demonstrating environmental

influences on phenotype • Himalayan rabbit’s coat

color is influenced by temperature.

• There is an allele responsible for melanin production that appears to be active only at lower temperatures.

• The extremities have a lower temperature and thus the ears, nose, paws, and tail are dark in color.

coat color.

37

Incomplete dominance

• Occurs when the heterozygote phenotype

is intermediate between phenotypes of the

two homozygotes

• Example:

(curly hair) CC x SS (straight hair)

CS (wavy hair)

38

Familial hypercholesterolemia

• Two mutated alleles lack LDL-cholesterol receptors.

• One mutated allele has half the normal number of

receptors.

• Two normal alleles have the usual number of

receptors.

• When receptors are completely absent, excessive

cholesterol is deposited in various places in the body,

including under the skin.

Codominance

• Occurs when the alleles are equally

expressed in a heterozygote

• Example:

(Type A blood) AA x BB (Type B blood)

AB (Type AB blood that has characteristics

of both blood types)

41

Multiple allele inheritance

• The gene exists in several allelic forms.

• A person only has two of the possible alleles.

• A good example is the ABO blood system.

• A and B are codominant alleles.

• The O allele is recessive to both A and B; therefore, to have this blood type, you must have two recessive alleles.

Sex-linked inheritance

• Traits are controlled by genes on the sex

chromosomes.

• X-linked inheritance – the allele is carried on

the X chromosome

• Y-linked inheritance – the allele is carried on

the Y chromosome

• Most sex-linked traits are X-linked.

Disorders

• More males than females are affected.

• An affected son can have parents who have the

normal phenotype.

• For a female to have the characteristic, her father

must also have it. Her mother must have it or be a

carrier.

• The characteristic often skips a generation from the

grandfather to the grandson.

• If a woman has the characteristic, all of her sons will

have it.

X-linked disorders

• These are more often found in males than females because recessive alleles are always expressed.

• Most X-linked disorders are recessive. – Color blindness is most often characterized by red-

green color blindness.

– Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterized by wasting of muscles and death by age 20.

– Fragile X syndrome is the most common cause of inherited mental impairment .

– Hemophilia is characterized by the absence of particular clotting factors; blood clots very slowly or not at all.
