Date: January 28, 2010 Period: 3 While viewing the following presentation please be respectful Thank you Is an inherited disease that makes the host unable to metabolize galactose. Galactose is a simple sugar found in ½ of milk. People with Galactosemia either don’t have, or lack the enzyme (GALT) that helps break down galactose. Infants that inherit Galactosemia who are feed dairy/milk products, jaundice, vomiting, lethargy, and also mental retardation, cirrhosis, and kidney failure can occur. Children with Galactosemia have lower (IQ) levels then their siblings Ovarian failure may occur in girls, and that most girls with it can’t conceive naturally. Though boys have normal testicular function. .Galactosemia gene is located on the chromosome 9. 1. How do you get this disorder? Autosomal recessive pattern To get this disorder, a child must get one defective gene from each parent If the child inherits one normal & one bad gene, they are okay. But can still pass the bad one to their kids. This gives their child another possibility of having Galactosemia. 2. What’s an Autosomal Recessive? 3. Is when a child has to get a copy of a gene from each parent to have that trait What’s an Autosomal Dominant? Is when a child has to only get one defected gene from one parent to inherit a disease 4. What’s Sex linked/X-linked? Is when a gene gets carried on a sex chromosome, especially an x-chromosome XX- Female XY-Male Determines sex & sex characteristics Alleles are represented by a small letter on the punnett square. -Capital letters are dominant, and lower case letters are recessive. • Alleles are a way to identify in a gene pair, which gene produces what phenotypes. You get them from your parents • Depending on the disease a small letter (Alleles) can be good or bad genes. In our disease it is bad. • Example: In order to have Galactosemia you need two bad genes, or two small Alleles, or recessive(aa) genes. Having two of the same genes (aa) is called a homozygous pair. To be a carrier you need a dominant and a recessive gene (Aa), having a bad and a good genes is called a Heterozygous pairs.

All white: Person may be a carrier of disorder, but is fine. X-Linked Student Practice I. Circle: Female Square: Male All White: Person is a carrier II. III All Orange: Person has the disease, has two bad genes 1. In generation I, when the parents have children, which is not possible. For the children to have the Galactosemia or not to have Galactosemia? Explain. 2. In generation II to the right, what is the percentage of their child not carrying any Galactosemia gene? 3. In generation 3 to the left, if one of the males mated with an homozygous recessive person what all of the possibilities of the offspring of what their children might be?
