• Sex Chromosomes and Autosomes
– Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine
an organism’s sex (gender).
– The remaining chromosomes that are not directly
involved in determining the sex of an individual are
called autosomes.

• Sex Determination
– In mammals, an individual carrying two X
chromosomes is female.
– An individual carrying an X and a Y chromosome
is male.

Section 1 Chromosomes
and Inheritance
Effects of Gene Location
• Sex-Linked Genes and Traits
– Genes found on the X chromosome are X-linked
genes.
– A sex-linked trait is a trait whose allele is located
on a sex chromosome.
– Because males have only one X chromosome, a
male who carries a recessive allele on the X
chromosome will exhibit the sex-linked trait.

Effects of Gene Location, continued
• Chromosome Mapping
– The farther apart two genes are located on a
chromosome, the more likely a cross-over will
occur.
– Researchers use recombinant percentages to
construct chromosome maps showing relative
gene positions.

Extended Response
Colorblindness is a recessive, sex-linked trait. A
woman and a man, both with normal vision, have
three daughters with normal vision. One of the
daughters marries a man with normal vision, and
they have a son who is colorblind.
Part A Which parent of the son is the carrier of the
trait? Explain your answer.
Part B What is the likelihood that the children of a
woman heterozygous for colorblindness and
colorblind man will express the trait? Explain
your answer.

Answer:
Part A The son’s mother carries the trait. The gene for
colorblindness is carried on the X chromosome.
Part B Given: X-linked recessive: heterozygous female = XB
(normal)Xb (colorblind); colorblind male = Xb (colorblind)Y.
This Punnett square predicts that 50 percent of the
children will be male and 50 percent of the children will be
female. 50 percent will be colorblind and 50 percent will
have normal vision. 25 percent will be males with normal
vision and will not be carriers. 25 percent will be female
carriers with normal vision. 25 percent will be colorblind
females. 25 percent will be colorblind males.
