Sex Linkage
Or
Why are men more likely to be defective than women?
![Page 2: Sex Linkage Or Why are men more likely to be defective than women?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfb51a28abf838c9d959/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
LinkageThe observation that two genes are not transmitted independently.
Why?
Two genes physically near each other on a chromosome will not assort randomly in meiosis.

RecombinationThe frequency of recombination (crossing over)
between two genes is proportional to the distance between the genes.

How to Show Sex Linkage
X = X chromosome
Y = Y chromosome
XH = X chromosome with H allele linked to it
Homozygous dominant female: XH XH
Heterozygous female: XH Xh
Homozygous recessive female: Xh Xh

Sex-linked inheritance Two sex chromosomes are very different in sizeY about ¼ the size of the X
They are not genetically equivalent
Traits associated with genes on the X chromosome - X-linked
Traits associated with genes on Y chromosome- Y-linked

Color Blindness8% males have red-green color blindness
red color blindness – can’t see red
green color blindness – can’t see greens both are X-linked recessive traits
(map to the X chromosome)
Blue color blindness autosomal recessive
(maps to chromosome 7)

Y-linked traits
- genes unique to the Y chromosome- present only in males- from fathers to sons- always expressed

Marge and Homer have decided to give Bart and Lisa a baby brother/sister. They know that “single hair syndrome” is a recessive sex linked trait. Normal hair is shaped like cotton candy. Homer has the recessive condition and Marge is a carrier. What is the chance of having a normal cotton candy type hair baby boy? Girl? What are the chances of a “single hair” boy? Girl?

Problem
Diagram a cross between a normal woman whose father was red green colorblind and a colorblind man.
What is the probability that their children will be affected?
What is the probability that the boys will be affected?
