Y chromosome
Y chromosome
The Y chromosome is smaller and only found in males, meaning it only passes down paternally (from father to son). It also does not undergo homologous recombination with chromosomes, and therefore, it does not mix its genetic material with the homologous X chromosome during meiosis.
Consanguineous relationships
Consanguineous relationships
Consanguineous relationships are unions between two individuals who are related as second cousins or closer. These relationships often involve a decreased genetic diversity. Since they share a common ancestor, they can share more alleles in common, increasing the risk of recessive diseases in offspring.
Inbreeding coefficient (F)
Inbreeding coefficient (F)
This coefficient refers to the frequency of autosomal genes that are homozygous. This means that the individual inherited the same version of the gene from both parents. Due to shared ancestry in consanguineous relationships, the inbreeding coefficient is typically higher.

Study Notes
Y Chromosome
- Smaller than other chromosomes
- Found only in males
- Tracks paternal inheritance
- Does not undergo homologous recombination
Consanguineous Relationships
- Union between closely related individuals (second cousins or closer)
- Keeps gene pool small, reducing genetic diversity
- Increases risk of recessive conditions in offspring
- Relatedness quantifies shared alleles at all loci
X-linked Recessive Disorders
- Males more frequently affected; only one mutated allele needed on the X chromosome
- If mother is a carrier of a recessive X-linked disorder, son will always be affected
- For a female to be affected, both parents must carry the affected allele
Haemophilia
- Blood lacks ability to clot due to missing or reduced plasma protein
- Untreatable until the 20th century
- F8 and F9 genes are responsible for haemophilia A and B, respectively.
- F8 (Haemophilia A): Located at Xq28, has 26 exons, encodes coagulation factor VIII
- F9 (Haemophilia B): Located at Xq21.1, has 8 exons, encodes coagulation factor IX
Queen Victoria's Haemophilia
- 1995 book "Queen Victoria's Gene" questioned her legitimacy
- Suggests mother could have been a carrier or variant appeared de novo, or she actually wasn't the daughter of the Duke of Kent
Inbreeding Coefficient (F)
- Frequency of autosomal genome expected to be homozygous
- Higher coefficient indicates more inbreeding
- Decreases lifespan of children by up to 10 years
Habsburg Jaw
- Mandible protrusion, affecting speech and eating
- Correlation between inbreeding coefficient and mandibular prognathism score
- Suggests Habsburg jaw caused by a recessive gene
Charles II
- Examples of phenotypic impacts of inbreeding: delayed speech and walking, short stature, weakness, epilepsy, and reproductive impotence
Relevance to Population Genomics
- Inbreeding and restricted gene flow reduce genetic diversity
- Genetic diversity supports population resilience and persistence
- Reduced diversity lowers reproductive fitness, increasing risk of extinction
- Small gene pool & inbreeding increase occurrence of rare recessive diseases, leading to early death and infertility
