CHAPTER 11: Genes, Chromosomes, & Human Genetics

11.1 Genetic Linkage & Recombination

Genes consist of sequences of nucleotides in DNA & are arranged linearly in

chromosomes. Genes carried on same chromosome are linked in their

transmission from parent to offspring  linked genes are inherited in patterns

similar to those of single genes, except for changes in linkage due to

recombination.

Recombination result: order of particular collection of alleles on a given

chromosome is mixed up as a result of exchange with corresponding alleles on

homologous chromosome (during prophase I).

Likelihood of recombination between any 2 genes on same chromosome

reflects physical distance between them. More distance = more chance that

chromatids will exchange segments at points between genes = more frequency of

recombinant products of meiosis.

Testcrosses (AaBb x aabb) can detect linkage; if all progeny classes are

equally frequent, genes are not linked. Genes carried on same chromosome may

not show genetic linkage, like if they assort independently, may be cause they’re

quire far apart.

11.2 Sex-Linked Genes

Sex linkage: pattern of inheritance produced by genes carried on sex

chromosomes (that differ between females & males). Females XX, Males XY in

humans and fruit flies.

For males, any recessive allele on X chromosome is expressed b/c only

one, but females but have 2 to be expressed. In mammals, inactivation of one of

X in females makes dosage of X-linked genes same in both sexes.

11.3 Chromosomal Alterations that Affect Inheritance

Inheritance is influenced by processes that delete, duplicate, or invert

segments within chromosomes or translocate segments between chromosomes.

Chromosomes also change in # by addition or removal of individual

chromosomes/entire sets. Changes in single usually occur through

nondisjunction (homologous pairs fail to separate during meiosis II, so 1 meiotic

product receives extra copy of chromosome; other has 1 less).

*Note: if occurs in Meiosis I; all daughter cells affected; if in Meiosis II,

just 2 are.

Polyploids have 1 or more extra copies of entire chromosome set; usually

arise when spindle fails to function during meiosis in cell lines leading to gamete

Document Summary

Genes consist of sequences of nucleotides in dna & are arranged linearly in chromosomes. Genes carried on same chromosome are linked in their transmission from parent to offspring linked genes are inherited in patterns similar to those of single genes, except for changes in linkage due to recombination. Recombination result: order of particular collection of alleles on a given chromosome is mixed up as a result of exchange with corresponding alleles on homologous chromosome (during prophase i). Likelihood of recombination between any 2 genes on same chromosome reflects physical distance between them. More distance = more chance that chromatids will exchange segments at points between genes = more frequency of recombinant products of meiosis. Testcrosses (aabb x aabb) can detect linkage; if all progeny classes are equally frequent, genes are not linked. Genes carried on same chromosome may not show genetic linkage, like if they assort independently, may be cause they"re quire far apart.

Which of these statements is incorrect?

Syntenic genes are located on the same chromosome.

Independent assortment results in recombinant chromosomes.

You can reliably predict the relative genetic distance fromgenesâ physical distance on a chromosome.

Linked genes are always syntenic.

What is the relative genetic distance between two linked genesif the recombination frequency is 0.49?

0.49 cM

4.9 cM

49 cM

490 cM

What statement best explains the distortion in Mendelian ratiosobserved by Bateson & Punnett in 1905? (Reminder: they found anoverrepresentation of F2 offspring showing both dominant orrecessive phenotypes, and an underrepresentation of offspringdisplaying one dominant and one recessive phenotype)

Human error: they should have been more careful about theirexperimental setup.

Gene linkage: Genes for flower color and pollen shape arephysically close on the same chromosome, leading to a breakdown inthe independent assortment of the alleles for these traits.

Chromosome crossover: Homologous recombination of twochromatids during meiosis caused the alleles to shuffle, resultingin a breakdown of the independent assortment of the alleles forthose genes.

Random variation: No two situations are alike. In finitepopulations, you are going to get some variation across a mean.

When determining the relative genetic distance between twogenes, why is dihybrid back-cross preferable over traditionaldihybrid cross?

9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio is easier to work with than 1:1:1:1ratio.

Genotypes of the offspring can be determined based on theirphenotype.

If the genes are independently assorted, the dihybrid back-crosswould result in only 2 genotypes in the F1 generation.

Why do we map genes?

To understand how genes interact with each other

Comparative genomics analysis

To determine the genotype of an organism
