Heredity The passing of traits from parents to offspring. A puppy gets its traits from its parents just as we get ours from our parents, but just how are traits inherited?
KARYOTYPE- a picture of all the chromosomes in a nucleus Each human has 46 chromosomes located in their body cells nucleus of the cell (diploid cells) These are divided into 23 chromosomes - a baby inherits one chromosome from each parent from each pair of chromosomes
Of the 46 total chromosomes, two of them are sex chromosomes. XX- female Xy- male
A piece of DNA on a chromosome is called a gene. Genes also come in pairs. They determine many of the characteristics of a baby.
Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics He was born in Austria in 1822 He grew up on a farm and learned a lot about flowers and trees When he was 21 yrs old he joined a monastery and became a monk. As a monk he taught science and performed scientific experiments
• Mendel spent most of his time and energy performing experiments with pea plants • He was very curious as to how offspring inherited their traits • He used pea plants in his experiments because peas had many desirable traits that made them easy to work with
GREGOR MENDEL USED PEAS FOR HIS EXPERIMENTs- WHY? • Peas were a good choice because • They grow quickly • They come in many varieties with easy to observe traits: round, wrinkled, yellow, green, smooth bumpy, tall, short • Some cross pollinate, others self-pollinate • Self –pollination was important because Mendel was able to grow truebreeding plants for his
• Mendel noticed that one trait was always present in the first generation and the other one seemed to disappear • He called the trait that appeared the dominant trait and the trait that seemed to fade away the recessive trait • To find out what might have happened to the recessive trait, Mendel decided to perform another set of experiments
P stands for the parents of the first generation (purple flower crossed with white flower) F 1 stands for the offspring of the a self of the purebred cross above. F 2 stands for the offspring when an F 1 flower is self-fertilized were crossed.
• Brown eyes is a dominant trait, so we would write the genotype for brown eyes as BB, Bb • Blue eyes is a recessive trait. The only way to show a recessive trait is to have a genotype with two recessive alleles, such as bb
Alleles • An allele is a variation of a gene: BB, Bb, CC, Cc, cc, DD, EE, ee Some alleles are dominant and some alleles are recessive. Dominant alleles are represented by capital (A) letters in genetics, and recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters (a)
Alleles, are variations of a gene, and they usually come in pairs. Alleles determine the appearance of our characteristics There at least two alleles for every characteristic If the two alleles are the same then it is said to be homozygous for that gene If they are different then they are heterozygous
Homozygous means the same and heterozygous means different.
Genotype and Phenotype • Genotype is the combination of alleles that code for a specific trait DD for example could be the genotype for having dimples. • Phenotype is the physical appearance that the genotype codes for. • Dimples is a phenotype. What is a phenotype that you have?
PHENOTYPES Your adorable smile, the shape and color of your eyes, and your hair texture are just a few examples of phenotypes
We know that genes determine our smile, but what about personality? Yes, some of our personality is hereditary, but part of it is also a result of the environment we are exposed to as a child Nature vs. Nurture
Homozygous and Heterozygous Genotypes • Homozygous genotypes with either all dominant alleles or all recessive alleles (think: the same) • DD, dd, cc, CC, EE, ee, FF, gg, GG, dd, DD • Heterozygous genotypes have at least one dominant allele and one recessive allele • (think: different) • Dd, Ff, Gg, Ee, Cc, Gg, Rr. . .
Punnett Squares predict the possible genotypes of offspring in a particular cross using the genotypes of the parents
What color feathers will the offspring in the test cross below have?
PTC tasting is a dominant trait
A brown furred rabbit (Bb) mates with a white furred rabbit (bb). What is the probability that they will have dark-furred offspring?
Answer: • Approximately 50% of their offspring will be darkfurred, with a heterozygous (Bb) genotype. • What percent would likely have the recessive phenotype of white fur? • To show the recessive trait, the offspring must have inherited two recessive alleles (bb), one from each parent. They also have a 50% chance of having white furred bunnies…. .
Punnett Square Problem • Two brown furred rabbits with the genotypes Bb mate and produce ¼ offspring that are light furred with the genotype bb. How is this possible?
Answer • The ¼ offspring received one recessive allele from each parent giving them a recessive trait
• True or false A puppy receives half its genes from its mother and half from its father
Incomplete Dominance An inheritance pattern where neither allele is dominant, but instead the phenotype of the offspring is in between both homozygous genotypes In this case, the R allele codes for a red color, so the more of this protein, the more red the petal color
Codominance • An inheritance pattern where neither allele is dominant, but rather they share dominance, and thus, the offspring will have traits of both alleles if it inherits one of each
Human blood type is determined by codominance There are three alleles for blood type. We inherit two from our parents. IA and IB share dominance and i is recessive See chart to the side…. A person with alleles A and B is neither A or B blood type, but rather, blood type AB. A person must have two i alleles to have blood type O because O blood type is a recessive trait.
Type A and B individuals can be either homozygous (IA, or IB, IB), or heterozygous (IA i, or IB i) A person must have two i alleles to have blood type O
• A woman with blood type A and a man with type B blood could potentially have offspring with which of the following blood types?
Multiple Genes • Some traits, such as hair, eye and skin color are determined by multiple genes, giving a wide variety in the colors produced
Environmen tal Influences • Some genes can remain unexpressed until something in the environment influences it • For example, some people have a gene for developing lung cancer that may not be expressed unless the person is exposed to the chemicals in tobacco • The Himalayan rabbit has a gene for fur color that produces dark fur, but it is only activated at cooler temperatures, which is why the cooler body parts, like ears and nose are black.
These Rabbits have a gene that causes fur color to be black if exposed to low temperatures
EYE COLOR • Different eye colors are produced because of the different amounts and patterns of pigments in the iris (colored part of the eye), which is determined by one’s genetic make up • The DNA inherited from one’s parents determines what color eyes they will have • Right now there are three known gene pairs that control eye color, and at least two are incompletely dominant
• The bey 2 gene on chromosome 15 has a brown and blue allele • On chromosome 15 the bey 1 gene contains the central brown gene • On chromosome pair 19, the gey gene contains a blue allele and a green allele
BB Xbb All children with Bb genotype Bb X Bb Possible genotypes: BB, Bb, bb
Can two brown-eyed parents have a blue-eyed child? Explain and show your work.
Yes, if both are heterozygous for brown eyes and the child inherits a recessive allele from each parent. There is 25% chance…
A green allele is dominant to a blue allele And brown allele is dominant to both a blue and a green allele For the bey 2 gene if a person has a brown allele then they will have brown eyes In the gey gene the green allele is dominant to the blue alleles but still recessive to brown A person will have green eyes if they have a green allele on chromosome 19 and all or some blue alleles Blue eyes is produced by having only recessive genes So for a blue eyed person all four alleles have to be blue
• If two parents have a blue and a brown gene, there eyes are brown, but they can have a blue eyed child if the child inherits a blue gene from each parent • If the child inherits one blue gene and one brown gene the child will have brown eyes, because brown is dominant to blue
Heterochromia- condition where a person has two different colored eyes
What are the causes of heterochromia? • Disease or injury to that affects the health of the melanocytes (cells in the eyes that produce eye colors) • Wardenburg Syndrome- A mutation in certain genes that causes melanocytes to get lost on their way to where they are supposed to go • Chimarism (very rare!)- when two fertilized eggs fuse to form one egg, each with a different set of DNA

Genetic Disorders A genetic disorder is one that is caused by abnormalities in the genes or chromosomes While some diseases, such as cancer, are caused by genetic abnormalities in some cells, a “genetic disease” is one that is present in all cells and has been present since conception When something goes wrong with the chromosomes in processing a new human being, the code cannot be read properly and the child’s brain and body may not develop properly. When a problem results from this genetic mistake, we call is a genetic disorder.
Karyotype A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell A normal human karyotype has 46 chromosomes, 22 are identical pairs The other two are the sex chromosomes. Is this the karyotype of a male or a female individual?
Turner’s Syndrome XO Occurs 1 in every 2000 These women have only 45 chromosomes; they are missing an x chromosome They are genetically female, but do not mature sexually during puberty and are infertile They have a short stature 98% of these fetuses die before birth
Trisomy X • A condition where a female has an extra copy of an X chromosome, typically inherited from the mother • It is a random event • Typically diagnosed later in life, if ever
Trisomy X (XXX) • Sometimes there are no symptoms and symptoms vary a lot between individuals • Possible symptoms: • Tall stature • Speech and language delays • Delayed motor skills • Below average intelligence • Occurs 1 in 1000 births • These women are fertile and capable of having normal (XX) and (XY) children
Super Male XYY These are males with an extra Y chromosome They tend to be taller than average More prone to acne Usually have a low mental IQ Used to be thought that these men were more likely to end up in prison, but no study was able to back this claim
Klinefelter’s Syndrome XXY • A chromosomal condition that affects a male’s sexual development • Most males with this have an extra copy of the X chromosome in each cell • Because the testicles of these males do not form normally, affected males may have low levels of the hormone, testosterone, beginning during puberty • A lack of this hormone can cause breast development, reduced facial and body hair, and the inability to father children (infertility)
Klinefelter’s Syndrome
Down Syndrome This individual has an extra # 21 chromosome, instead of two copies, they have three The extra chromosome causes physical differences in appearance as well as learning challenges About half of these individuals have heart defects These children did not used to live very long due to heart defects and other ailments, but today they are able to live in to adulthood, thanks to advances in medicine
Down Syndrome
A medical procedure used in prenatal diagnosis of genetic risk factors, in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is extracted from the amnion or the amniotic sac around the fetus, and the fetal DNA is examined for genetic abnormalities A commonly used test to detect Down Syndrome- has a 99% accuracy rate Amniocentesis
which can result in harm to the baby if it is not performed correctly and carefully
Chorionic Villus Sampling • Another diagnostic test to help detect genetic abnormalities, such as Down Syndrome • Done early in pregnancy (around tenth week) • 1 in 100 chance of miscarriage • Chorionic villi are tiny finger-shaped growths in the placenta • The DNA in the villus projections are the same as in the baby’s cells, so in this test, samples of the chorionic villus cells are taken for a biopsy for the chromosomes to be studied
Multiple Sclerosis • This is a chronic inflammatory disease of the immune system • Two genes have been found to increase a person’s risk for MS, and they are found in the immune system • The person’s immune system begins to attack the fatty covering around the axon of a nerve cell, called a myelin sheath, this interrupts the electrical signals necessary in the relaying of impulses from one nerve cell to another
In patients with multiple sclerosis, the axon’s myelin sheath is destroyed by the person’s own immune system
Albinism An albino is a person or animal who lacks the pigment, melanin, the protein that gives skin, eyes, and hair color. This is due to a recessive inheritance pattern. These people are prone to vision problems and sun burning because of the lack of melanin.
Albinos inherited a recessive allele one from each parent. This recessive gene causes the individual to have no melanin production, and so their skin, hair, and eyes lack pigmentation (color)
Sickle Cell Anemia-one bad copy of a gene for this disease and the person is carrier, two bad copies and the person is affected with the disease One out of 500 African Americans has sickle cell anemia This disease is caused by a mutation in the alleles for a gene that carries instructions for how the protein hemoglobin in red blood cells should look like The error causes the protein to come out with the wrong shape It causes red blood cells to collapse and into sickle shapes that are hard and sticky
Sickle Cell Can Cause Clots in Arteries and Veins Sickle cells do not carry oxygen as well as normal red blood cells and they sometimes get stuck in the blood vessels causing a clot It can cause chronic anemia and pain Anemia means the blood is low in oxygen Two cures: bone marrow transplant or hydroxyure drug
Cystic fibrosis is a fatal genetic lung disease caused by a defect in the CFTR gene This gene makes a protein that controls the movement of salt and water in and out of your cells This gene does not work right and results in a thick, sticky mucus in lungs and salty sweat With better treatment, people with CF are living longer-may live into their 30’s
A child must carry two abnormal copies of the CFTR gene, one from each parent to have the disease. If the child has one copy, he or she is a carrier
If the problem lies on a sex chromosome, we call it a sex-linked disease or disorder • Hemophilia and Color Blindness are two sexlinked recessive disorders we will discuss in this class. For both, the problem lies on the X chromosome with a recessive inheritance pattern.
Color blindness is a Sex -linked recessive disorder This condition is more common in males than in females because the problem lies on the X chromosome (we’ll do pedigree charts on this) Humans have three color receptors, if one or more are faulty or missing, a person will not see all the colors Red/green colorblindness is the most common
A color blind person could not see the numbers and letters inside the squares
Hemophilia • An X linked chromosomal disorder in which a person does not clot blood well • With hemophilia a person lacks the gene for proper blood clotting.
Pedigree Charts show the patterns of inheritance among families; it is a tool used by geneticists to help council patients who are worried that they might pass down a faulty gene to their children
Cri du Chat • A rare genetic disorder which results from the deletion of or loss of a significant portion of the genetic information of the arms of the chromosome #5 • Infants with this disorder have a distinctive high pitched cry which sounds like a cat • The disorder is also characterized by mental retardation, delayed development, small head size, distinctive facial features, low birth weight, and weak muscle tone
Gene Therapy Gene therapy is a technique for correcting defective genes responsible for disease development Several approaches are used: A normal gene can be inserted into a nonspecific location in the genome to replace a nonfunctional gene (using a carrier, vector, to deliver the gene) An abnormal gene can be repaired through selective reverse mutation The regulation of a gene (degree to where it is turned on or off) can be altered Gene therapy is still a new area in science and is considered to be in experimental stages
How Does Gene Therapy work? In most gene therapy cases, a normal gene is inserted into the genome to replace an abnormal gene A carrier molecule such as a vector is used to deliver therapeutic gene to the patient’s target cell Currently the most common vector is a virus that has been genetically altered to carry human DNA Viruses have evolved a way to encapsulate and deliver their genes in to human cells to cause disease, so scientists have tried to take advantage of this capability and manipulate the virus by removing disease causing genes and replacing it with therapeutic ones.
