Genetics of sex
• Women & men are very different, but just a few genes create that difference
• In mammals = 2 sex chromosomes
– X & Y
– 2 X chromosomes = female: XX
– X & Y chromosome = male: XY
X Y
X X

Sex-Linked Traits
X chromosome
Y chromosome
Boy or Girl? The Y Chromosome “determines”
The Y chromosome of human males is only about one-third the size The Y chromosome of human males is only about one-third the size of the X chromosomeof the X chromosome

Sex-linked traits
• Sex chromosomes have other genes on them, too– especially the X chromosome
– hemophilia in humans• blood doesn’t clot
– Duchenne muscular dystrophy in humans• loss of muscle control
– red-green color blindness• see green & red as shades of grey

• Sex-linked characteristics are found only on the X chromosome and not on the Y because Y is too small to carry these genes
XB XB – Normal Female
XB Xb – Carrier Female (do NOT show disorder)
Xb Xb – Diseased Female
XB Y - Normal Male
Xb Y - Diseased Male
Males only get 1 copy of the gene
• Sex-linked disorders are more common in males than females. Females must get both recessives genes to have the disorder while it only takes 1 for males

Sex-Linked Traits
• Carriers can pass the gene, but do not exhibit the symptoms of disorders

Sex-Linked Traits
• Fathers= pass X-linked alleles to all daughters only (but not to sons)
• Mothers= pass X-linked alleles to both sons & daughters

Multiple Alleles in Human Blood
• There are 3 types of alleles (genes) in
human blood
IA
IB
IO or i
• A & B alleles are codominant• both A & B alleles are dominant over i allele
• We only have 2 of these three genes at a time, one from
each parent

• IA and IB are equally dominant and IO is recessive

Many genes: one trait
• Polygenic inheritance– additive effects of many genes– humans
• skin color• height• weight• eye color• intelligence• behaviors

Albinism

melanin = universal brown color

Dominant ≠ most common allele
Polydactylydominant allele
• Because an allele is dominant does NOT mean…– it is better, or– it is more common
recessive allele far more common than dominant only 1 individual out of 500
has more than 5 fingers/toes so 499 out of 500 people are
homozygous recessive (aa)

Genetic Disorder
• Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited disorder caused by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain.
• HD causes involuntary movements and loss of intellectual abilities (dementia).

Chromosomal Errors
• NONDISJUNCTION: the failure of chromosomes
to separate properly in meiosis. Gametes with
extra or too few chromosomes result.

Genetic Disorder
• Fragile X Syndrome: A disorder caused by a defective gene on the X-chromosome.
![Page 18: Human Genetics Genetics of sex Women & men are very different, but just a few genes create that difference In mammals = 2 sex chromosomes –X & Y –2 X](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051417/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5de0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Genetic Disorder
• Symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome: – mental retardation, – Enlarged testes, – facial abnormalities in males – mild or no effects in females. It is the most common inherited cause of mental
retardation.

Genetic Disorder
• Cri-du-chat Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder due to a missing portion of chromosome # 5.
• Its name, meaning cat cry in French, is from the distinctive mewing sound made by infants with the disorder.

Genetic Disorders
• Cri-du-chat Syndrome is characterized by:– distinctive facial
features, – small head size,– low birth weight, – weak muscle tone, – a round face, – low set ears, – facial asymmetry– severe mental
retardation is typical

• Phenotype is controlled by both environment & genes
Color of Hydrangea flowers is influenced by soil pH
Human skin color is influenced by both genetics & environmental conditions
Environment effect on genes
Coat color in arctic fox influenced by heat sensitive alleles

Pedigree
• Pedigree charts are used to study the transmission of a hereditary condition.
