Honors Biology Guided Notes- Chapter 11 Section 1
RECESSIVE GENETIC DISORDERSMany human conditions are called complex characters because they are greatly influenced by both genetics and the environment. Recessive traits can only be expressed when the individual is ________________________ for that trait
– Individuals that are heterozygous for a trait are called ________________– Examples of Recessive Disorders
Disorder Occurrence In US Cause Effect TreatmentTay-Sachs Buildup of fatty
deposits in the brain, mental disabilities
Albinism Genes do not produce normal amounts of pigment melanin
1 in 3500 No cure, daily cleaning of mucus from lungs, mucus thinning drugs, pancreatic enzyme supplements
Absence of gene that codes for enzyme that breaks down galactose
DOMINANT GENETIC DISORDERSNot all disorders are caused by ________________ alleles, some disorders are cause by _____________
– those without a disorder are ____________________ recessive– Examples of Recessive Disorders
Disorder Occurrence in the US
Cause Effect Treatment
Achondroplasia Short arms and legs, large head
1 in 10,000 No cure or treatment
PEDIGREESA technique used to show _______________________________It is a diagram using symbols that traces the ________________ of a particular _______________though several generations
-Interpret the following diagrams:1)Example of Inheritance of a trait
Squares= malesCircles= ___________Colored in shape= has traitNot colored in shape= _______________________________________________________= parents of the offspring belowRoman Numeral= __________________Number= birth order
2) Tay-Sachs
Number of unaffected parents (carriers of recessive allele)= _________________________Affected child is in _________________________- child got both recessive alleles
3) Polydactyl
Polydactyl is a ______________________ disorder that causes ____________________________Offspring ______________ has polydactyl (either heterozygous or homozygous recessive-has to be heterozygous b/c of II)Offspring ______________ does not have polydactyl because neither parent has the trait* We can infer __________________ from the _________________ here in a pedigree from generation to generation
