Document Summary

Most sex linked disorders are seen in males in humans because males only inherit one. X chromosome and sex-linked human disorders are often recessive alleles attached to the x chromosome. Male recessive x alleles are dominate because there is as absence of a second allele. Characterized by a progressice weakness of the muscles and loss of coordination. Queen vitoria carrier of hemophilia x normal x hemophilia. Queen victoria passes this on to her daughter alice who was then a carrier as well. Alice then passed the x hemophilia allele on to her daughter alexandra who married the. Czar of russia and produced a hemophilic son alexis and phenotypically expressed the gene. Dominant diseases are given to every daughter it the father displays the phenol type of the disease because all daughters must inherit one x chromosome from their father. Cytoplasmic inheritance follows the pattern of the mitochondria or chloroplast.

Related Questions

Why are recessive X-linked traits seen more often in human malesthan in human females? (Select all that apply.)

Males have an X chromosome, but females do not.

Actually, X-linked traits are seen more often in females than inmales, because they have two X chromosomes.

Males donât have a second X chromosome to mask the effects ofthe first one.

This phenomenon is due to X-inactivation.

While females would need two of these alleles to express therecessive phenotype, males only need one.

Sperm are more likely to carry an X chromosome than a Ychromosome.

Sex-Linked Traits (traits located on the sex chromosomesâusually the X chromosome)

Follow the directions for the lab. Enter data you obtain for the following crosses and answer questions on this answer sheet. (NOTE: The traits used in this Module 3 Lab are sex-linked. Therefore, you CANNOT click the âignore sexâ button for these crosses. You need to see separate results for males and females to analyze data for sex-linked traits.)

Question: In this lab exercise, should you click the "ignore sex" button for the crosses?

1. a. Perform a monohybrid cross between a female fly with a tan body and a wild-type male fly. Show results for the F₁ offspring. (NOTE: You will use these F₁ flies in the next cross.)
ENTER DATA HERE:

Question: Are the phenotypes of the F₁ offspring what you would have predicted for this cross: why or why not?

Question: Each F₁ female received a tan allele from her mother and a wild allele from her father. Why do all of the F₁ females show the wild-type phenotype?

Question: Compare the number and type (X or Y) of sex chromosomes found in female and male flies.

Question: Compare the number of alleles present on the X and Y chromosomes.

Question: How can you tell that tan body is a sex-linked trait?

Question: How can you tell whether tan body is located on the X chromosome or the Y chromosome?

Question: If tan body was located on the Y-chromosome, what would be the phenotype of all the male F₁ offspring? Is this what you obtained for the cross above?

Question: If tan body was located on the Y-chromosome, could females even show the trait? (HINT: When analyzing the cross results, remember that Y-linked traits are passed down only from affected males to their sons. Females cannot display Y-linked traits since they do not have Y chromosomes. On the other hand, both males and females can inherit X-linked traits since they both have X chromosomes.)

PUNNETT SQUARE:

List the genotypes of the parent flies in this cross (HINT: You must use X and Y symbols):

List the gametes produced by each parent fly in this cross:

Show the Punnett Square for the above cross.

Answer the following Linked to sex genetics problems:

1.) In Drosophila the recessive mutation linked to the X chromosome, scalloped ( sd ), causes the edge of the wings to be irregular. Present the results (you must prepare the crossing scheme) phenotypic for F1 and F2 for a cross between:

A) female scallop and a normal male (regular edges)

B) A normal (homozygous) female and a scallop male .

C) Compare these results with those that would be obtained if scallop were an autosomal recessive mutation.

2.) In Drosophila the autosomal recessive ebony mutation (e) is located on chromosome 3 and produces a dark body in the fly that expresses it. What will be the phenotypic proportions for F1 and F2 that will be obtained from a cross between a scallop female and homozygous for a normal body, with an ebony male with normal wings? Solve by the bifurcated lines method.

3.) In Drosophila the recessive mutation linked to the vermilion X chromosome (v) produces bright red colored eyes in contrast to the wild phenotype that has brick red eyes. An autosomal recessive mutation, suppressor vermilion (su-v) causes homozygous or hemizygous males to females present vermilion red brick eyes. In the absence of the vermilion allele su-v has no effect on the phenotype of the eye. Determine the genotype and phenotype of F1 and F2 at a cross between a homozygous female for vermilion and su-v, with a vermilion male and wild homozygous for su-v (su-v + su-v + ) . Present the diagram of bifurcated lines for these crosses.

4.) At a crossroads with Drosophila involving recessive mutations white (linked to the X chromosome) and sepia (autosomal recessive) that produces dark eyes, predict the results of F1 and F2 when crossing pure parents with the following phenotypes.

A.) White females with sepia males.

B.) Sepia females with white males

5.) Two mothers have given birth to their children at the same time in an urban hospital with an excess of patients. The child of couple 1 has hemophilia, a condition caused by a recessive allele linked to the X chromosome. Neither parent has the condition. Couple 2 has a normal child even though the father is a hemophiliac. Several years later, couple 1 filed a lawsuit alleging that the babies were changed after birth and you are called to testify as a genetic counselor. What information would you give the jury in relation to the allegation of the couple 1?
