Human Chromosomes
Human Chromosomes
Cell biologists analyze chromosomes by looking at
karyotypes.
Cells are photographed during mitosis. Scientists
then cut out the chromosomes from the
photographs and group them together in pairs.
A picture of chromosomes arranged in this way is
known as a karyotype.

Human Chromosomes
Two of the 46 human chromosomes are known as
sex chromosomes, because they determine an
individual's sex.
• Females have two copies of an X chromosome.
• Males have one X chromosome and one Y
chromosome.
The remaining 44 chromosomes are known as
autosomal chromosomes, or autosomes.

Human Chromosomes
Males and females are
born in a roughly 50 : 50
ratio because of the
way in which sex
chromosomes
segregate during
meiosis.

Human Traits
Human Traits
In order to apply Mendelian genetics to humans,
biologists must identify an inherited trait controlled
by a single gene.
They must establish that the trait is inherited and
not the result of environmental influences.
They have to study how the trait is passed from
one generation to the next.

Pedigree Charts
A pedigree chart shows the relationships within a
family.
Genetic counselors analyze pedigree charts to
infer the genotypes of family members.

Human Traits
Genes and the Environment
Some obvious human traits are almost impossible
to associate with single genes.
Traits, such as the shape of your eyes or ears, are
polygenic, meaning they are controlled by many
genes.
Many of your personal traits are only partly
governed by genetics.

Human Genes
Human Genes
The human genome includes tens of thousands of
genes.
In 2003, the DNA sequence of the human genome
was published.
In a few cases, biologists were able to identify
genes that directly control a single human trait
such as blood type.

Blood Group Genes
Human blood comes in a variety of genetically
determined blood groups.
A number of genes are responsible for human
blood groups.
The best known are the ABO blood groups and the
Rh blood groups.

Human Genes
The Rh blood group is determined by a single gene
with two alleles—positive and negative.
The positive (Rh+) allele is dominant, so individuals
who are Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh are said to be Rhpositive.
Individuals with two Rh- alleles are said to be Rhnegative.

• There are three alleles for this gene, IA, IB, and i.
• Alleles IA and IB are codominant.

Recessive Alleles
The presence of a normal, functioning gene is
revealed only when an abnormal or nonfunctioning
allele affects the phenotype.
Many disorders are caused by autosomal
recessive alleles.

Dominant Alleles
The effects of a dominant allele are expressed
even when the recessive allele is present.
Two examples of genetic disorders caused by
autosomal dominant alleles are achondroplasia
and Huntington disease.

Codominant Alleles
Sickle cell disease is a serious disorder caused by
a codominant allele.
Sickle cell is found in about 1 out of 500 African
Americans.

In both cystic fibrosis and sickle cell
disease, a small change in the DNA of a
single gene affects the structure of a
protein, causing a serious genetic
disorder.

Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele.
Sufferers of cystic fibrosis produce a thick, heavy
mucus that clogs their lungs and breathing
passageways.

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.

From Gene to Molecule
Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that
carries oxygen.
In the sickle cell allele, just one DNA base is
changed.
As a result, the abnormal hemoglobin is less soluble
than normal hemoglobin.
Low oxygen levels cause some red blood cells to
become sickle shaped.

There are three phenotypes associated with the
sickle cell gene.
An individual with both normal and sickle cell alleles
has a different phenotype—resistance to malaria—
from someone with only normal alleles.
Sickle cell alleles are thought to be codominant.
