Human Chromosomes
Human Chromosomes
Cell biologists analyze chromosomes by looking at karyotypes.
Cells are photographed during mitosis. Scientists then cut out the chromosomes from the photographs and group them together in pairs.
A picture of chromosomes arranged in this way is known as a karyotype.

Human Chromosomes
Two of the 46 human chromosomes are known as sex chromosomes, because they determine an individual's sex.
• Females have two copies of an X chromosome.
• Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.
The remaining 44 chromosomes are known as autosomal chromosomes, or autosomes.

Human Chromosomes
All human egg cells carry a single X chromosome (23,X).
Half of all sperm cells carry an X chromosome (23,X) and half carry a Y chromosome (23,Y).
About half of the zygotes will be 46,XX (female) and half will be 46,XY (male).

Human Chromosomes
Males and females are born in a roughly 50 : 50 ratio because of the way in which sex chromosomes segregate during meiosis.

Human Traits
Human Traits
In order to apply Mendelian genetics to humans, biologists must identify an inherited trait controlled by a single gene.
They must establish that the trait is inherited and not the result of environmental influences.
They have to study how the trait is passed from one generation to the next.

Pedigree Charts
A pedigree chart shows the relationships within a family.
Genetic counselors analyze pedigree charts to infer the genotypes of family members.

Human Traits
A circle representsa female.
A horizontal line connecting a male and a female represents a marriage.
A shaded circle or square indicates that a person expresses the trait.
A square representsa male.
A vertical line and a bracket connect the parents to their children.
A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a person does not express the trait.

Human Traits
Genes and the Environment
Some obvious human traits are almost impossible to associate with single genes.
Traits, such as the shape of your eyes or ears, are polygenic, meaning they are controlled by many genes.
Many of your personal traits are only partly governed by genetics.

Human Genes
Human Genes
The human genome includes tens of thousands of genes.
In 2003, the DNA sequence of the human genome was published.
In a few cases, biologists were able to identify genes that directly control a single human trait such as blood type.

Human Genes
Blood Group Genes
Human blood comes in a variety of genetically determined blood groups.
A number of genes are responsible for human blood groups.
The best known are the ABO blood groups and the Rh blood groups.

14–1 Human Heredity
Slide 15 of 43
Human Genes
The Rh blood group is determined by a single gene with two alleles—positive and negative.
The positive (Rh+) allele is dominant, so individuals who are Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh are said to be Rh-positive.
Individuals with two Rh- alleles are said to be Rh-negative.

ABO blood group
• There are three alleles for this gene, IA, IB, and i.
• Alleles IA and IB are codominant.

Recessive Alleles
The presence of a normal, functioning gene is revealed only when an abnormal or nonfunctioning allele affects the phenotype.
Many disorders are caused by autosomal recessive alleles.

Dominant Alleles
The effects of a dominant allele are expressed even when the recessive allele is present.
Two examples of genetic disorders caused by autosomal dominant alleles are achondroplasia and Huntington disease.

Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele.
Sufferers of cystic fibrosis produce a thick, heavy mucus that clogs their lungs and breathing passageways.

Slide 30 of 43
From Gene to Molecule
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.

From Gene to Molecule
Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
In the sickle cell allele, just one DNA base is changed.
As a result, the abnormal hemoglobin is less soluble than normal hemoglobin.
Low oxygen levels cause some red blood cells to become sickle shaped.

There are three phenotypes associated with the sickle cell gene.
An individual with both normal and sickle cell alleles has a different phenotype—resistance to malaria—from someone with only normal alleles.
Sickle cell alleles are thought to be codominant.
