[Understanding Key Terms, p.419] EXTENDED LECTURE OUTLINE 20.1 Genotype and Phenotype The genotype represents the actual genes of an individual. Alleles are alternate forms of a gene at the same gene locus. Individuals can be homozygous dominant (EE) for a trait, heterozygous (Ee), or homozygous recessive (ee). The phenotype refers to the outward expression of the genotype (e.g., red hair).

Figuring the Odds A parent who is homozygous dominant or homo zygous recessive for a trait can pass on only one type of gamete in each case. Heterozygous parents can pass on either the dominant or the recessive gene for a given trait. A Punnett square is useful for determining the possible outcomes of a genetic cross. A cross of two individuals who are both homozygous for a trait results in a 100% chance of having an offspring who is homozygous for the trait. A cross of two heterozygotes results in a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous recessive, a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous, and a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous dominant. Each offspring has a 25% chance of being homozygous recessive or of being homozygous dominant. 109
2 Recessive Disorders Tay-Sachs Disease Tay-Sachs disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive. Between four and six months of age, an affected infant shows neurological impairment. The child gradually becomes blind, helpless, and paralyzed, and usually dies by age four. Tay-Sachs results from a lack of hexosaminidase A and the storage of its substrate, glycosphingolipid in lysosomes. This disease is most prevalent in Jewish people from central and eastern European descent. Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal genetic disease among U.S. Caucasians. The thick mucus in bronchial passageways and pancreatic ducts interferes with the functioning of these organs. The defect lies in a chloride ion transport protein within plasma membranes. When chloride passes through, water normally follows. In cystic fibrosis patients, a lack of water following through results in the thick mucus. The gene for the defect is on chromosome 7. Phenylketonuria (PKU) Individuals with phenylketonuria lack an enzyme needed for the normal metabolism of phenylalanine. Phenylketone thus accumulates in the urine. If the infant is not put on a phenylalanine-restrictive diet in infancy until age seven, brain damage and severe mental retardation result. Dominant Disorders Neurofibromatosis Neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen disease) is inherited as an autosomal dominant. People with this condition develop benign neurofibromas under the skin and in various organs. The effects can range from mild to severe, and some neurological impairment if possible. The gene for this trait is a nested gene on chromosome 17. Huntington Disease Huntington disease is also inherited as an autosomal dominant and is characterized by progressive neurological degeneration of brain cells, resulting in personality disorders and muscle spasms. No treatment exists, and death occurs a decade or so after the symptoms appear. Individuals are more likely to be affected if the disorder is inherited from their fathers, a characteristic of genomic imprinting. Pedigree Charts Pedigree charts are a means of constructing a family tree and indicate which individuals are affected by a trait. Since recessive and dominant traits exhibit different patterns of inheritance, pattern of inheritance can be partially determined by examining a pedigree chart. Carriers are normal individuals capable of producing affected children.

Several pairs of genes may be involved in determining phenotype. Skin Color The inheritance of skin color, determined by an unknown number of gene pairs, is a classic example of polygenic inheritance. Polygenic Disorders Many human traits, like allergies, schizophrenia, cleft lip, and hypertension, among others, appear to be inherited as polygenic traits. The expression of some genes is subject to environmental influences (e.g., a child allergic to ragweed will never express that trait while living in the Arctic). Multiple Allelic Traits In multiple alleles, more than two alternative types exist for a gene pair. ABO blood grouping is an example. ABO Blood Types The ABO blood grouping represents surface marker proteins on red blood cells. A person can have a gene for an A marker or a B marker, which are codominant, or lack an A or B marker, designated type O, which is recessive. Human ABO blood types can then be type A (which can be AA or AO), type B (BB or BO), type AB (AB), or type O (OO). Incompletely Dominant Traits Patterns of dominance often go beyond simple dominant or recessive traits. Codominance means that both alleles are expressed (type AB blood). Incomplete dominance is exhibited when the heterozygote shows not the dominant trait but an intermediate phenotype, representing a sort of blending of traits (e.g., skin color or hair type). Sickle-Cell Disease Sickle -cell disease is an example of incomplete dominance. An individual with two genes for normal hemoglobin has normal hemoglobin. A heterozygote has a normal gene and a gene for sickled hemoglobin. An individual with two sickling genes has sickle -cell disease. What may have maintained this apparently detrimental gene in equatorial Africa is that heterozygotes for this trait have a marked resistance to the malarial parasite prevalent in the region.

4 Transparencies 294 (Fig b) 295 (Fig ) 296 (Fig ) 20.4 Sex-Linked Traits Sex-linked traits are genes (traits) carried most frequently on the X chromosome. (The Y chromosome is too small.) X-Linked Alleles In X-linked traits, the gene is carried on the X chromosome. Since males have only one copy of the X chromosome, they show the phenotype for the allele they possess and are thus much more likely than females to show a recessive trait. A female must have two copies of a recessive trait (one on each X chromosome) to display it. If a female has only one copy of a recessive gene, she is said to be a carrier and will pass the trait on to 50% of her sons, on average. X-Linked Disorders Color Blindness Three types of cones are in the retina: those that detect red, those that detect green, and those that detect blue. Genes for blue cones are autosomal; those for red and green cones are on the X chromosome. Males are much more likely to have red/green colorblindness than are females. Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy is X-linked and is characterized by progressive muscle deterioration during childhood. The absence of the protein dystrophin causes the disorder. Hemophilia Hemophilia (bleeder s disease) can be traced to Queen Victoria of England and is characterized by the absence or minimal presence of one of two different clotting factors. Again, males are much more prone to this trait than females and often require blood transfusions. Sex-Influenced Traits Some traits carried on autosomes such as male-pattern baldness, can be influenced by gender. In this instance, the male hormone testosterone is the culprit.

5 SEVENTH EDITION CHANGES New/Revised Text: This was chapter 19 in the previous edition. This chapter has been fewer A heads. The new section 20.3 Beyond Simple Inheritance Patterns includes polygenic inheritance, multiple allelic traits, and incompletely dominant traits. Four sets of Practice Problems have been added Dominant/Recessive Traits. Recessive Disorders are now discussed before dominant disorders. Pedigree Charts makes it clear that with recessive genetic disorders, when both parents are affected, all children are affected (and why); and with dominant genetic disorders, two affected parents can have an unaffected child (and why). This information will help the student be able to understand and successfully answer the related practice problems Beyond Simple Inheritance Patterns includes polygenic inheritance, multiple allelic traits, and incompletely dominant traits.

Ask students to read Introduction: The Biotech Century (Time, January 11, 1999, page 42). Then have them read Michael Lemonick s Designer Babies (pp.64-66). [Ask the library to hold this issue on reserve or make copies of these articles for your students to use.] Use these articles to generate a discussion of which are appropriate uses of this new technology and which are not. Bioethics of Genetic Profiling 2. Read the Bioethical Focus for this chapter (p. 417) aloud to your students. According to this reading, genetic profiling can be used in two ways: to benefit patients, and to discriminate against them. Initiate a discussion with your students. Health insurance companies are already beginning to deny or cancel insurance for women carrying the breast cancer gene. Is this ethical? Should other people insured through the same company pay higher rates to help cover the claims of women who have breast cancer treatment? Would it be better to have the insurance company pay for or require prophylactic removal of both breasts prior to cancer development? Should women carrying this or another deleterious gene be sterilized? Address some of the other questions raised in the Bioethical Focus. Genetics of Your Students 3. Certain obvious human traits can demonstrate the idea of dominant and recessive traits, and can even be discussed in the greater context of population genetics. Canvas your class to see how many fall into each of the following categories: Expression of Dominant Trait Expression of Recessive Trait Dark hair color Light or red hair color Farsightedness Normal vision Freckles No freckles Dark eyes Blue eyes Free earlobes Attached earlobes Six fingers or toes Five fingers or toes Cheek dimples Lack of dimples Full lips Thin lips Widow s peak Straight hair line Tongue roller Cannot roll tongue 113
