in Punnett Squares.
T = Talll

A. Single Trait = If you cross a heterozygous tall
plant with a short plant, what percent of the
offspring do you expect to be tall?

Exceptions to Mendel’s Laws
The elegance of Mendel’s experiments
was partly due to the complete
consistency between his observations
and hypotheses he developed.
However, after Mendel’s work was
rediscovered, it became clear that the
simple Mendelian model did not
adequately predict experimental
observations in all situations.

A) Identify the genotypes of males compared
to females.
Human males are the
heterogametic sex with two
different sex chromosomes,
(XY).
Human females are the
homogametic sex (XX).
During fertilization, what is
the probability that a female
will result?
50%
5
Obj. B) Define sex-linked traits
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are located on
autosomes and sex chromosomes.
Genes on
Autosomes – body traits
Sex chromsomes- sex traits
However, certain genes present in the sex
chromosomes control the body traits.
The characters which are controlled by such genes
are called sex-linked traits and transmission of
such traits from one generation to next is called
sex-linked inheritance
6
Obj. B) Define sex-linked traits
Discovery and types of Sex linked inheritance
Was first discovered by Thomas H. Morgan in
1910 on Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies).
It can be classified into three types depending
upon the chromosomes (X or Y) having sex linked
genes.
1. X – Linked inheritance
2. Y - Linked inheritance
3. XY - Linked inheritance
7
Obj. B) Define sex-linked traits
1. X- Linked inheritance
Certain sex-linked genes are located only on X
chromosomes and their alleles are absent in Y
chromosomes.
These genes are called X–linked genes;
Their mode of inheritance is called X-linked
inheritance
This pertains to the inheritance of traits which are
controlled by genes located in the non-homologous
part of X-chromosomes
Examples: Colorblindness, Hemophilia,
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Obj. B) Define sex-linked traits
See page
X – Linked Recessive:
345 for a list
1. Affects males more than females
2. No female offspring of an affected male are
affected, the trait skips generations in
pedigrees. When is there an exception?
Exception to this pattern occurs in the rare
instance when the affected male mates with a
female carrier, producing an affected female
offspring.
X – Linked Dominant:
1. Affected male produce all affected female
offspring and no affected male offspring
2. Approximately half the offspring of affected
females are affected, regardless of their sex.
12
Multiple Alleles
It is generally accepted that a gene has two alternative
forms called Alleles.
Usually, one of the two alleles of a gene is dominant
over the other, which is recessive e.g, Tall (TT)
But in many cases, several alleles of a single gene govern
the concerned trait and is known as Multiple alleles.
Both prokaryotes and Eukaryotes show multiple alleles.
Examples:
1. Human Blood Type
2. Fur color in rabbits and other mammals.

Hemophilia
Hemophilia is another sex-linked trait.
Hemophilia is characterized by delayed blood
clotting. People with hemophilia can easily bleed
to death from very minor wounds.
Otherwise called “Bleeders disease”.
Hemophilia is sex-linked recessive trait (hh) and
the genes are located on X chromosomes.
It is more common in men and rare in women.

This disease appeared as a mutant in
Queen Victoria and from her it was
