Chapter 20
The Principles of Inheritance
![Page 2: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Humans have about 22,000 genes; most code for
a protein.
Proteins have specific functions leading to specific
traits (i.e., phenotypes)
Protein functions include: hormones, enzymes,
receptors, structural, neurotransmitters, etc.
Mutation: change in nucleotide sequence of DNA
change in AA sequence of protein.
Genes Code for Proteins

Each human cell has 46 (23 pairs) of
chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes: one
maternal, one paternal

Principles of Inheritance
• The actions of one or more proteins
results in a trait, or inherited
characteristic
![Page 7: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Principles of Inheritance
• Each copy of the pair is often slightly
different and are called alleles
![Page 8: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Principles of Inheritance
• Individuals who inherited the same
allele from each parent are
homozygous
• Those with different alleles of the same
gene are heterozygous
![Page 9: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dominant Alleles
• When the effects of an allele are
expressed to the exclusion of the
alternative allele, then that allele is
described as dominant
![Page 10: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Recessive Alleles
• If the effects of an allele are masked in
the heterozygous condition, then the
allele is described as recessive
![Page 11: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Genotype: complete set of genes and
alleles
Phenotype: observed physical and
functional traits
Examples: eye color, hair color, height,
blood group, etc.

Alleles Segregate During
Meiosis
• The law of segregation says that during
gamete formation:
– any two alleles on homologous
chromosomes separate as the
chromosomes move toward opposite ends
of the cell during meiosis
![Page 14: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alleles Assort Independently
• Each chromosome is inherited
independent of the other chromosomes
following the law of independent
assortment
![Page 15: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The law of independent assortment
states that chromosomes:
A. Cross over
B. Are inherited independently
C. Stick together when they assort
D. Condense
![Page 16: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Punnett Square
• A Punnett square is a matrix where the
rows represent the possible gametes of
one parent, the columns the possible
gametes of another parent, and the
boxes the possible combinations of
gametes
![Page 21: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Principles of Inheritance
• A pedigree is a chart showing the
genetic connections among individuals
in a family

Principles of Inheritance
• Genetic disorders are often caused by
recessive alleles
• Someone who displays the dominant
phenotype but is heterozygous for a
trait is a carrier of the recessive allele
![Page 30: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Principles of Inheritance
• A dominant allele often produces a
protein that the recessive allele does
not
• This is the case in albinism where the
ability to produce the brown pigment
melanin is lacking
![Page 31: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Complete Dominance
• In the previous examples, complete
dominance was the situation where
the heterozygote exhibited the trait
associated with the dominant allele but
not that of the recessive allele
![Page 33: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Codominance
• Codominance is the case when the
effects of both alleles are apparent to
their fullest extent in a heterozygote
![Page 34: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Codominance
• This is the case in the blood type AB
where the protein products of both the
A and B alleles are expressed on the
surface of the red blood cell
![Page 35: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
?
![Page 36: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Incomplete Dominance
• Incomplete dominance is the
expression of the trait in a
heterozygous individual that is in
between the way the trait is expressed
in the homozygous dominant or
homozygous recessive person
![Page 38: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Incomplete Dominance
• The sickle-cell allele shows incomplete
dominance. The heterozygote is
described as having sickle-cell trait
(HbAHbS)
![Page 39: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sickle Cells
![Page 40: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
![Page 41: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Principles of Inheritance
• Sometimes one gene can have many
effects
• The effect of the sickle hemoglobin
affects many areas of the body
![Page 42: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Codominance
A. Only one allele is expressed
B. Neither allele is expressed
C. Both alleles are fully expressed
D. One allele is dominant and the other
is recessive
![Page 44: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Multiple Alleles
• When three or more forms of a given
gene exist across many people in the
population, they are referred to as
multiple alleles
![Page 45: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Multiple Alleles
• The ABO blood group has three alleles,
IA, IB, and IO. However, any one person
can only have two of these alleles
![Page 46: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
![Page 47: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Polygenic Inheritance
• Variation among a trait such as height,
independent of environmental
influences, results from polygenic
inheritance or the involvement of two
or more genes in the determination of
the trait
![Page 48: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
![Page 49: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Sex-Linked Genes
• Sex-linked genes are located on the X
chromosome
– X chromosome: larger
• contains many genes
– Y chromosome: smaller
• contains very few genes
![Page 50: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
X-Linked Genes
• Thus most genes on the X
chromosome have no corresponding
alleles on the Y chromosome and are
known as X-linked genes
![Page 51: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
![Page 52: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Y determines male sex
SRY gene
Sex-linked (or X-linked) inheritance
Characteristics: mostly males affected.
Passed to sons by mother
Father cannot pass the gene to son
Common disorders include: Color blindness, hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Androgen insensitivity syndrome
Sex-Linked Inheritance: X and Y Chromosomes
![Page 53: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

color-blind gene and the man has normal color vision?
A. 100%
B. 75%
C. 50%
D. 25%
E. 0%
![Page 55: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Suppose that the normal diploid content of a cell (before meiosis
begins) is 20 chromosomes (10 pairs). How many chromosomes
will be present in each gamete at the end of meiosis?
A. 40 chromosomes
B. 20 chromosome
C. 10 chromosomes
D. 5 chromosomes
E. 0 chromosomes
![Page 56: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Sex Influenced Genes
• Sex-influenced genes are autosomal
genes whose expression is influenced
by sex hormones (e.g., testosterone or
estrogen)
![Page 57: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Sex Influenced Genes
• Male pattern baldness is more common
in men than in women because its
expression depends on both the
presence of the allele for baldness and
the presence of testosterone
![Page 58: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Breaks in Chromosomes
Change Structure and Function
• Chromosome breakage results in
changes in the structure and function of
the chromosome
![Page 59: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Chromosome Deletion
• The loss of a piece of chromosome is
called a deletion
• The most common deletion is when the
tip of a chromosome breaks off
![Page 60: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
![Page 61: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Chromosome Duplication
• An added piece of chromosome is
called a duplication
• The effects of a duplication depend on
its size and position
![Page 62: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Breaks in Chromosomes
Change Structure and Function
• Genetic disorders also occur when
certain sequences of DNA nucleotides
are duplicated multiple times as in
fragile X syndrome
![Page 63: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
![Page 64: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Certain Genetic Disorders Can Be
Detected Before Birth by
Amniocentesis or Chorionic Villi
Sampling
![Page 65: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Amniocentesis
• Performed at 12-20 weeks of
pregnancy
• In amniocentesis 10-20 ml of amniotic
fluid are withdrawn which contain
epithelial cells of the fetus
![Page 66: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Amniocentesis
![Page 67: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Amniocentesis
• These cells are cultured and then
examined for abnormalities in the
number of chromosomes and the
presence of certain alleles that are likely
to cause specific diseases
![Page 68: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

Chorionic Villi Sampling
• Chorionic villi sampling (CVS)
involves taking a small piece of
chorionic villi, fingerlike projections of
the chorion
– The tissue sample is then examined for
abnormalities
– Can be performed several weeks earlier
than amniocentesis
![Page 70: Principles of Inheritance - Histologistics](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012015/615a8bcbfbb9e7746c702cdc/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

Certain Genetic Disorders Can
Be Detected by Laboratory
Tests
• Many predictive genetic tests are now
available or are being developed
• Some of these tests identify people
who are at risk or predisposed for a
specific disease before symptoms
appear
