The stuff you Need to know!
• Sex-linked inheritance and the effects of the
presence of genes on the X-chromosome
and not on the Y-chromosome.
• Polygenic inheritance leading to
characteristics

Normal Body Cells
• In the nucleus of every
body cell there are 46
chromosomes
• 22 homologous pair
(AUTOSOMES) and
one pair of sex
chromosomes

Female and Male Sex Chromosomes
13/04/2015
• In the female, the sex
chromosomes make up a
fully homologous pair,
the X chromosomes.
• In the male, the sex
chromosomes make up a
pair consisting of an X
and a much smaller Y,
which is homologous to
only part of the X
chromosome.

and

Polygenic Inheritance
Sex-linked genes.
• The X and Y
chromosomes
behave as a
homologous pair
at meiosis.
13/04/2015
However, the X
chromosome differs from
the Y chromosome in that
the larger X carries many
genes not present on the
smaller Y. These genes
are said to be sex-linked.

Polygenic Inheritance
At fertilisation
• When an X chromosome meets
a Y chromosome at
fertilisation, each sex-linked
gene on the X chromosome
becomes expressed in the
phenotype of the human male
produced.
• This is because his Y
chromosome does not possess
alleles of any of these sexlinked genes and cannot offer

dominance to them. Polygenic Inheritance

Symbols
• In crosses and family
trees involving sexlinked gees, the sex
chromosomes are
represented by the
symbols X and Y and the
alleles of the sex-linked
gene by appropriate
superscripts.

X-linked recessive disorder Red Green Colour Blindness
• Inability to distinguish between red and green
• A red green colour blind person does not see the
number 29 on the right
• In humans normal vision (C) is
completely
dominant to red-green colour
blindness (c)

Genetics of Colour Blindness
•
•
•
•
Normal vision C
Red-green colour blindness c
These are the alleles are sex-linked because...
Heterozygous females are called carriers (Cc)
Although they are unaffected themselves there
is a 1 in 2 chance (50%) chance that they will
pass the allele on to each of the offspring.

Why is colour blindness more
common in males?
• Red green colour blindness is rare in
females since 2 recessive alleles must be
inherited.
• It is more common in males where only one
is needed.

Haemophilia: mutated form of factor
VIII in platelets
• Haemophiliacs cannot make the blood clotting
protein Factor VIII.
• This is a problem with blood clotting. So, if a
tissue is damaged and blood vessels are broken,
bleeding continues for longer than normal.
• Some bleeding is obvious such as when the skin is
cut or broken. Others are less easy to spot like
bleeding into or around the joints.

Mrs Smith: Ch12 Sex Linkage and
Polygenic Inheritance
39
X-linked recessive disorder Haemophilia
• It caused by a recessive allele carried
on the X (e.g. The gene is located on
the non-homologous region of the xchromosome) but not the Y
chromosome.
• The haemophiliac allele (Xh)is
recessive to the normal allele (XH).
• Hence is sex-linked.
13/04/2015
Mrs Smith: Ch12 Sex Linkage and
Polygenic Inheritance
40
More common in males than females
• Haemophilia is more common in men than women.
• Fequency in britian is 1:5000
• Males inherit the allele from their mother and develop
the disease.
• Since (until recently) the prognosis for survival was
poor and haemophiliac males did not survive to pass on
the allele to their daughters (its on the X-chromosome).
Therefore females with haemophilia where rare.

There is now treatment -FYI
• ‘Clotting factor
concentrates’
revolutionised haemophilia
care allowing patients to
travel, have jobs, and live
full and independent lives.
• Transfusion with whole
blood and plasma.

Muscular Dystrophy
13/04/2015
• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is
the most common form of this
disease.
• Sufferers are severely disabled
from an early age.
• The normally die without passing
allele onto the next generation.
• Afects 1:3000 male infants.
• Skeletal muscles loose their normal
structure and fibrous tissue
develops in their place.
• Caused by a recessive allele carried
on the X chromosome and is sexlinked.

Polygenic Inheritance
• Polygenic inheritance is a characteristic showing
continuous variation and is controlled by the
alleles of more than one gene
• The more genes involved the more intermediate
phenotypes that can be produced
• The effects of the genes are additive (each
dominant allele of each gene adds a contribution
towards the characteristic controlled by the gene)

Polygenic Inheritance Discontinuous Variation.
• A characteristic shows
DISCONTINUOUS
VARIATION if it can be
used to divide up the
members of a species into
two distinct groups.
• e.g. Can roll tongue vs
Cannot roll tongue.
• Such information is often
presented in a bar chart.

51
Polygenic Inheritance Continuous Variation.
• A characteristic shows
CONTINUOUS VARIATION when
it varies amongst the members of a
species in a smooth continuous way
from one extreme to another, and does
not fall into distinct groups.
• e.g. Height – varies from very small to
very tall. Also, skin colour, weight
• Such information is often presented in

The additive effect of polygenic genes
• The genes involved in polygenic
inheritance are transmitted from
generation to generation via
meiosis in the normal way.
• What makes them different from
other genes is that their effects
are ADDITIVE. That is each
dominant allele of each gene
adds a contribution towards the
characteristic controlled by the
13/04/2015
Mrs Smith: Ch12 Sex Linkage and
genes.
Polygenic Inheritance
55
Effect of Environment
• Many of these characteristics are influenced by
the environment.
• Polygenic inheritance + environmental factors
= phenotypic characteristic which shows a wide
range of continuous variation and a normal
pattern of distribution.
13/04/2015
Mrs Smith: Ch12 Sex Linkage and
Polygenic Inheritance
56
Many characteristics which show continuous
variation (e.g. Height, foot size, etc.) are
influenced by the environment
• They are dependant on favourable environmental
conditions for their full phenotypic expression.
• For example, regardless of how many dominant
alleles for height that a person inherits, he or she
will not reach their full potential for height
without consuming an adequate diet during
childhood and adulthood.
