    Study Notes

    Genotype of Sexes

    • XX for females
    • XY for males

    Sex Determination

    • Humans have 46 chromosomes
    • 2 of these chromosomes determine sex
    • The father determines the sex of an offspring

    Sex-Linked Traits

    • The gene that determines a character is located on the sex chromosomes
    • X-linked trait: The gene for the trait is found on the X chromosome
    • Y-linked trait: The gene for the trait is found on the Y chromosome

    Eye Color in Fruit Flies

    • Eye color is a sex-linked trait
    • Red eyes are dominant to white eyes

    Codominance

    • Both alleles of a gene pair are expressed in the heterozygote
    • Phenotypes of both parents are combined in the offspring

    Codominance Notation

    • Choose a letter to represent the gene
    • Use different letters to represent each allele
    • Turn the letters into superscripts
    • Combine the two letters, using capital letters

    Codominance Examples

    • Shorthorn cows
    • Blue roosters
    • Human blood typing
    • Tabby cats

    Lethal Genes

    • Some genes are lethal when present in a homozygous condition
    • Achondroplasia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia are examples of recessive lethal conditions
    • Huntington's disease is an example of a dominant lethal condition

    Creeper Allele in Chickens

    • An embryo with two copies of the creeper gene will not survive

    Manx Cat

    • Manx cats are heterozygous for a dominant lethal allele
    • The dominant lethal allele causes the cat to lack a tail
    • A cross between a manx cat and a normal cat will result in a 50% chance of the offspring being manx

    Mouse Coat Color

    • Yellow fur is dominant to grey fur
    • The genotype "YY" is a lethal gene, which causes a 2: 1 ratio of yellow to grey offspring

    Sex-Linked Traits

    • Genes are located on the sex chromosomes
    • The color vision gene is located on the X chromosome, not the Y chromosome
    • Sex-linked traits are usually recessive

    Red-Green Colorblindness

    • Recessive sex-linked trait
    • The gene is found on the X chromosome, not the Y chromosome
    • Males are more likely to have red-green colorblindness
    • Females must be homozygous recessive to have red-green colorblindness

    Calico Cats

    • Calico cats are female
    • Their fur color is determined by the random inactivation of one of their X chromosomes
    • They have a combination of black and orange fur

    Human X-Linked Traits

    • Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked trait
    • The gene for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome
    • Females are carriers of hemophilia

    Writing Sex-Linked Genotypes

    • Use X to represent the X chromosome
    • Use Y to represent the Y chromosome
    • Use superscripts to represent the alleles
    • Write the X chromosome first, followed by the Y chromosome

    Hemophilia Genotypes

    • Normal female: XHXH
    • Carrier female: XHXh
    • Hemophiliac female: XhXh
    • Normal male: XHY
    • Hemophiliac male: XhY
