7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
KEY CONCEPT
A combination of methods is used to study human
genetics.
7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
• The basic principles of genetics are the same in all sexually
reproducing organisms.
– Inheritance of many human
traits is complex
– Single-gene traits are
important in understanding
human genetics.
Ex: widow’s peak
Widow’s peak
7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
A pedigree is a chart for tracing genes in a family.
• Phenotypes are used to infer genotypes
Please copy on Pg. 80
Pedigree Key:
Boxes
= males
Circles = females
Shaded
= they show the trait
White
= does not show trait
Half shaded
= carrier
(Carrier= Only for recessive disorders)

questions:
Jamie and Joe married in 1912. Joe was homozygous dominant for a
Widow’s Peak, while Jamie did not have a Widow’s Peak. They had two
children: A son named Kyle and a daughter named Marie.
Kyle married a woman who had no Widow’s Peak.
Marie never married.
Kyle and his wife had three children: Two boys and a girl.
• Do Kyle and Marie have Widow’s Peaks?
• What percent of Kyle’s children can we expect to have Widow’s
Peaks?
• What percent of Kyle’s children can we expect to have NO Widow’s
Peaks?

7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
Autosomal Recessive Disorders will show up if carriers mate,
may skip a few generations before reappearing. Only a few, will
show the trait/disorder

Mary and Joe were married in 1950.
Both Mary and Joe were carriers for a fatal recessive disorder
called Cystic Fibrosis.
They had three children: A son named Pete who was a carrier,
a son named Charles who was not a carrier and did not have
the disease, and a girl named Isabel who died from Cystic
Fibrosis.
Pete married a woman who was homozygous dominant. Pete
and his wife are worried about having a child with Cystic
Fibrosis.
Should they worry? What are the chances of any of their
children having Cystic Fibrosis? Carriers?

7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
Females can carry sex-linked genetic disorders.
• Males (XY) express all of their sex linked genes.
• Expression of the disorder depends on which parent carries
the allele and the sex of the child.
Y
X
7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
• Sex-linked traits: More males will show their sex-linked
traits because they do not have another X to mask the
disorder Ex: Color blindness

7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
• A karyotype is a picture of all chromosomes in a cell.
XY
7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
• Karyotypes can show changes in chromosomes.
– deletion of part of a chromosome or loss of a
chromosome
– large changes in chromosomes
– extra chromosomes or duplication of part of a
chromosome
7.4 Human Genetics and Pedigrees
• In down syndrome a
person has an extra copy
of chromosome 21.
• In Klinefelter’s syndrome
a male has an extra X
(XXY).
