• There are 44 chromosomes that we call autosomal chromosomes.
• However, there are 2 chromosomes that determine our sex and we call them sex chromosomes.
• These 46 chromosomes all carry genes on them that determine our traits.

• Out of our 23 pairs of chromosomes, 1 pair is the sex chromosomes (X and Y).
• Female = XX
• Male = XY

Sex-linked gene:• Some traits are carried on the sex
chromosomes. Genes on the X or Y chromosomes are sex-linked genes.
• These traits are passed on from parent to child. Sex- linked genes can be recessive or dominant.
• MALES are more likely to have a sex-linked trait because they only have ONE X and Y. The allele is USUALLY on the X chromosome.
• Ex. colorblindness, hemophilia, hairy ears, muscular dystrophy

Carrier – person who has one recessive allele and one dominant allele for a trait or heterozygous for that trait (only women can be carriers).
Example
Hemophiliac carrier XHXh
Colorblind carrier XBXb

Genetics Disorders and Mutations
![Page 12: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815315550346895dc139b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mutations …
• are changes in the genetic material
• can be good or bad• can be on a single
gene or the whole chromosome
![Page 13: Human Heredity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815315550346895dc139b0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Genetic Disorder – abnormal condition that a person inherits
through genes or chromosomes.
They are caused by mutations or changes in a person’s DNA.
Write down 3 disorders that have affected someone you know.

Cystic Fibrosis• Genetic disorder where the body produces abnormally thick mucus
in the lungs and intestines making respiration and digestion difficult• caused by a mutation in a gene. The product of this gene is a
chloride ion channel important in creating sweat, digestive juices and mucus.
• One in four babies are born with cystic fibrosis• Most common among Northern European descent

Sickle Cell Anemia• Sickle cell is a genetic disorder that affects the
blood’s hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in your blood that carries oxygen.
• Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in protein chain of hemoglobin, replacing the amino acid glutamic acid with the amino acid valine
• The ‘sickle shape’ of the cell doesn’t allow the red blood cell to carry very much oxygen.
• Most common among African American descent
Famous People with Sickle Cell DiseaseMiles Davis, jazz musician.
Paul Williams, singer (The Temptations) Georgeanna Tillman, singer (The Marvelettes)
Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, singer (TLC)

Hemophilia• Hemophilia is a genetic disorder in which a person’s
blood clots VERY slowly or not at all. • A person with hemophilia can bleed to death from a
paper cut or scrape. • This is sex-linked disorder on the X chromosome.
– Queen Elizabeth suffered from this disorder.
This man received a vaccine. This is what having hemophilia did to is body.

Down Syndrome• Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that
occurs when an individual receives an extra copy of a chromosome.
• A mistake occurs during Meiosis I: the chromosomes failed to separate correctly (non-disjunction) therefore leaving an extra copy of chromosome #21.

• Doctor’s use tools like amniocentesis and karyotypes to help detect most diseases.

What is a karyotype?
• Picture of your chromosomes
• Arranged from largest to smallest
• quickly identify chromosomal changes

Sex-linked-Practice on your own:
• What is the probability of a female carrier of hemophilia and a normal male having a boy with hemophilia?
• What is the probability of a man with hairy ears and a normal female (not a carrier) having a child with hairy ears?
• What is the probability of a carrier woman and a male with muscular dystrophy having a girl with muscular dystrophy?
