Human Heredity
Bell: What is the genotype of the possible children if
a heterozygote for Widow’s peak marries a
homozygous recessive (straight
hairline)?
Ww and ww
What is/are the possible phenotype(s)?
Widows peak and Straight hairline
AGENDA
1. Independent
Projects
2. Blood Typing
3. Pedigrees
4. Sex-linked traits
Human Heredity Review:
Just a reminder
Human cell =
How many chromosomes?
46 (23 pairs)
1 set from Mom (egg) : 1 set from Dad (sperm)
1 chromosome from each are known as sex
chromosome
Female = XX
Male = XY
Remaining 44 chromosomes = autosome
Pedigree
Def.- Chart that shows the relationships within a
family
Used to predict or determine the mode of inheritance
of a trait
Pedigree (cont.)

rr
Draw each pedigree and do the following for each one:
1. Assume that the affected trait is dominant. Write the
genotypes beside each recessive individual (you
choose the letters)
2. Is it possible for this trait to be autosomal dominant
inheritance?
Circle pedigree if possible or X pedigree if not
possible
Can two affected individuals have
Yes - if both are heterozygous
unaffected children?

Assume the trait is recessive.
Draw the pedigree and write the genotype beside
each person.
Is it possible for the trait to be recessive?
- Circle if possible or X if not possible
They are
also
If the trait is autosomal recessive, what can you
conclude the children will be of two affected parents?
affected
Pedigree Practice
Carrier Heterozygote that
“carries” the
affected allele, but
does not express
the allele (Allele
remains hidden.)
** Who are the
carriers?
Is the affected trait autosomal dominant or
recessive?
Why?
Recessive - Trait disappears for generations
Sex-Linked Genes
Pattern of inheritance is located on the Xchromosome or the Y- chromosome
Y is much smaller
Therefore, there are more X-linked disorders/traits
What numbers to you
See?
Ex. Red-Green
X-linked disorder
Colorblindness
Most common in ?
Males (1/10)
Females ( only 1/100)
Allele Definition XN= Normal vision/dominant allele on X chromosome
Xn = Colorblind/recessive allele on the X chromosome
Y = male chromosome contains no allele for color vision
Colorblind Problem
Marian’s father is colorblind. Marian herself has normal color
vision. Marian and her husband, Martin, who is also
colorblind, have just had their first child; a son they have
named Mickey.
Write the genotypes of Marian and Martin.
•Marian has normal vision = XN
•Marian’s father is colorblind (XnY) and gave her the
colorblind X chromosome = Xn
•Therefore, Marian has genotype - XN Xn
•Martin is colorblind - he has recessive X allele (Xn)
• Martin is Male, so he has Y gene
• Therefore Martin’s genotype is XnY
Marian’s father is colorblind. Marian herself has normal
color vision. Marian and her husband, Martin, who is also
colorblind, have just had their first child; a son they have
named Mickey.
COMPLETE A PUNNET SQUARE
a. What is the probability that their son is colorblind?
50%
b. If Martin were not colorblind, how would this affect
the prediction about Mickey?
No Affect - Martin gives a Y to his son
c. If Marian and Martin were to have a girl (who they
would name Minnie) what is the probability that she
would be colorblind?
1 out of 2 or 50% - Depends on Marian; Martin will
give a colorblind X (Xn)
