Homozygous Recessive Disorders
Must have two recessive genes to have the disorder
Examples:Tay-Sachs: the body can’t break down a certain lipid so it builds up in the brain; it is a fatal disorder
Cystic Fibrosis: excess mucus accumulates in the digestive tract and lungs

Dominant Allele Disorders
Rare because the offspring usually dies before sexual maturity is reached
If you have at least one dominant gene, you have the disorder
Huntington’s disease: disorder in which the brain deteriorates; doesn’t show symptoms until an individual is in his late 30’s or early 40’s

Genetic Counseling
If a disorder is present in past family members, genetic counselors can give parents the probability of passing the genetic disorder to their children
Genetic counselors construct pedigrees and use tests (i.e. alpha-fetoprotein, PKU) to determine probabilities

Mutations
Changes in the DNA that can involve one or more genes; Mutations can be:
Harmful: cause diseases or deformities
Helpful: organism is better able to survive
Neutral: organism is unaffected
If a mutation occurs in a sperm or egg cell, that mutation is passed onto offspring
If a mutation occurs in a body cell, that mutation affects only the organism and is not passed onto offspring

Gene Mutations
Random changes in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA
It’s a mistake that’s made during replication or transcription
There are 4 types:Base Substitution
Base Deletion
Base Insertion
Jumping Gene
![Page 8: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Base Substitution
One base is replaced by another base; this is also called a point mutation
ACGUCAGUA Threonine—Serine—Valine
ACGUUAGUA Threonine—Leucine—Valine
Depending on where the mutation occurs, it may have no affect on the protein
ACGUCAGUA Threonine—Serine—Valine
ACGUCGGUA Threonine—Serine—Valine
Wobble: Base pairing between codon and anticodon in which there is nonstandard pairing at the third position of the codon; allows more than one codon to pair with the same anticodon

Base Deletion
Deletion of a base that disrupts the codons; also called a frameshift mutation
ACGUCAGUA Threonine—Serine—Valine
ACGUAGUAC Threonine--STOP

Base Insertion
Insertion of a base that disrupts the codons; also called a frameshift mutation
ACGUCAGUAC Threonine—Serine—Valine
ACGUCGAGUAC Threonine—Serine– Serine

Jumping Genes
Occur when large stretches of DNA are inserted into the gene; this can disrupt the DNA sequence

Chromosomal Mutations
Involve the entire chromosomeDeletion: a chromosome breaks and a piece of the chromosome is lost
![Page 13: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chromosomal Mutations (cont.)
Duplication: part of a chromosome breaks off and is incorporated into its homologous chromosome; the homologous chromosome now has an extra copy of one of its parts
![Page 14: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chromosomal Mutations (cont.)
Translocation: a part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different, non-homologous chromosome
![Page 15: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chromosomal Mutations (cont.)
Inversion:
a part of a chromosome breaks off, turns around, and reattaches in the reverse order
![Page 16: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Genome & Karyotype
Genome: base sequence of all of the DNA in an organism
Karyotype: photograph of all of an organism’s chromosomes
![Page 17: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nondisjunction
Failure of the chromosomes to separate during cell division
If it occurs during mitosis, the individual cell is affected, but the organism is not usually harmed
If it occurs during meiosis, the entire organism is affected
![Page 18: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Monosomy & Trisomy
Monosomy: the zygote has only one copy of a particular chromosome
Trisomy: the zygote has three copies of a particular chromosome
In humans, monosomy and trisomy are so disruptive in most chromosomes that it kills the embryo
In some chromosomes, however, the embryo survives, but it has developmental difficulties
![Page 19: GENETICS Pedigrees, Mutations and Karyotypes. Pedigree Chart that shows how a trait and the genes that control it are inherited within a family Female](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6b34f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Polyploidy
Nondisjunction occurs in all chromosome pairs
Almost always lethal in animals
Usually has a positive effect in plants

Constructing a Pedigree
Construct a pedigree using the following information. Make sure to shade in the affected individuals and carriers. Number each generation with Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.) and each individual in a generation with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) Write each individual’s genotype under their symbol.
