Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance
Pedigrees
A diagram that traces the inheritance of a
particular trait through several generations
A Family Tree
•
To understand how traits are passed on from generation to generation, a pedigree, or a
diagram that shows the relationships within a family, is used. In a pedigree, a circle
represents a female, and a square represents a male. A filled-in circle or square shows that
the individual has the trait being studied. The horizontal line that connects a circle and a
square represents a marriage. The vertical line(s) and brackets below that line show the
child(ren) of that couple.

Human genetics
Recessive Genetic Disorders
A recessive trait
is expressed
when the
individual is
homozygous
recessive for the
trait.
Protein is not
made if you are
recessive!
Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity
Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance
Cystic Fibrosis
Affects the mucus-producing glands,
digestive enzymes, and sweat glands
Chloride ions are not absorbed into the
cells of a person with cystic fibrosis but
are excreted in the sweat.
Without sufficient chloride ions in the cells,
a thick mucus is secreted.
The Cause of Cystic Fibrosis
Chromosome
#7
CFTR
gene
The most common allele
that causes cystic fibrosis
is missing 3 DNA bases.
As a result, the amino acid
phenylalanine is missing
from the CFTR protein.
Normal CFTR is a chloride
ion channel in cell
membranes. Abnormal
CFTR cannot be transported
to the cell membrane.
The cells in the person’s
airways are unable to transport
chloride ions. As a result, the
airways become clogged with a
thick mucus.
Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity
Basic Patterns of Human Inheritance
Albinism
Caused by altered genes (epistasis),
resulting in the absence of the skin
pigment melanin in hair and eyes.
White hair
Very pale skin
Pink pupils

Codominance
Both alleles are expressed in the
heterozygous condition.

N=normal S=sickle
Sickle-cell Disease –Codominant
3 genotypes: NN=normal
SS=sickle NS = heterozygous
Normal red blood cell
Changes in hemoglobin
cause red blood cells to
change to a sickle shape.
People who are
heterozygous (NS) for
the trait have both
normal and sickleshaped cells

Multiple Alleles
ABO blood groups have three forms of
alleles. IA IB i
Rh blood groups - Rh factor contains the Rh antigen and
can cause problems when given Rh- people were given
Rh+ blood. This trait is also controlled by multiple alleles
(8).

Coat Color of Rabbits
Multiple alleles can demonstrate a
hierarchy of dominance.
In rabbits, four alleles code for coat color:
C, cch, ch, and c.

intermediate phenotype between the two
homozygous phenotypes.

Polygenic Traits
Polygenic traits arise from the interaction of
multiple pairs of genes.
On a sheet of paper, construct a Punnett
square for the following cross: XX x XY. Fill in
the Punnett square. What does the Punnett
square represent? According to the Punnett
square, what percentage of the offspring
from this genetic cross will be males? What
percentage will be females?

Sex Determination
Sex chromosomes
determine an
individual’s gender.
Males XY
Females XX
Complex Inheritance and Human Heredity
Complex Patterns of Inheritance
The X chromosome carries a variety of genes that
are necessary for the development of both
females and males.
The Y chromosome mainly has genes that relate
to the development of male characteristics.
(Testes Determining Factor)
Chromosome inactivation –one X in every female
cell is turned off
Barr bodies –turned off X chromosome
FYI calico cats-only females
Sex- influenced traits - Baldness occurs more often in males
than in females. It could be due to the differences in male and
female hormones.

Sex-Linked Traits
Genes located on the X chromosome (recessive)
Red-green color blindness -limited color vision;
mostly in males Color blind test
Hemophilia – no AHF (anti-hemophilic factor)
Also called bleeders disease.
Muscular Dystrophy- incorrect protein (dystrophin) Mutant
gene causes the wasting away of skeletal muscles. Many
types of MD. Duchenne’s is usually fatal by age 20 due to
cardiac failure. 1 in 4,000 males effected

in decreasing size. Used to identify
chromosome disorders.

Chromosomes and Human Heredity
Nondisjunction
Cell division during which sister
chromatids fail to separate properly
Down syndrome- Chromosome disorder where individuals
have an extra 21st chromosome. Also called trisomy 21. 1out
of 800 babies are born with this. Caused by non-disjunction
during meiosis.

Nondisjunction
• On a sheet of paper, construct a Punnett
square for the following cross: XXX x XY. Fill in
the Punnett square. How is this Punnett
square different from the first one you
constructed? How is this different from a
normal punnett square?
Disjunction disorders - Sex chromosomes do not separate properly
during meiosis.
1. Turner syndrome - XO genotype. Female is sterile.
2. Klinefelter syndrome - XXY genotype. Males are sterile with
immature sex organs and some female characteristics.
3. Metafemale - XXX genotype . Females tend to have learning
disabilities and may enter menopause early or have cycle irregularities.
Most have no affects from this.
What union of gametes would have produced the above disorders?
4. XYY - Normal male, but may be taller than average. Controversy
about these males being antisocial and aggressive and a link to some
crimes.

Twin Studies
Helps scientists separate genetic contributions
from environmental contributions
Traits that appear frequently in identical twins
are at least partially controlled by heredity.
Traits expressed differently in identical twins
are strongly influenced by environment.
