How are dominant and recessive sex-linked traits passed onto offspring?. Sex-linked traits are determined by genes on sex-chromosomes.. Most. sex-linked alleles (genes) are carried on the X chromosome. . Complex Inheritance Patterns:. Autosomal v. X-Linked. Pedigree. Family Tree. Genealogy. Inheritance . Diagram. Relates . parents and offspring for numerous generations. Shows relationships between parents, children, grandchildren…. Humans have approximately . 20,000 – 30,000. genes that code for traits. . However, only have . 46 chromosomes. . Thus each chromosome must have . many genes. on them. . Often seen in . Sex-Linked Traits. Chapter . 7 Extending . Mendelian. Genetics . Section 7-1 Chromosomes and Phenotype. KEY CONCEPT . The chromosomes on which genes are located can affect the expression of traits.. MAIN IDEAS . • Two copies of each . Kyle . Stutts. . Sam . houston. state . university. Sex-Linked Characteristics. Objectives. Students will be able to:. Comprehend how inheritance plays a role in sex-linked genes. Explain the difference between sex- linked, limited, and influenced inheritance.  . Studying genetics . can be accomplished in part by . investigating the history of discoveries. that have lead to our . understanding of DNA and its role in gene expression and biological inheritance. 12.1 Chromosomal Inheritance . 1. Genes are located on chromosomes; this is called the . chromosome theory of inheritance. .. 12.1 Chromosomal Inheritance. Chromosomes can be categorized as two types:. Sex determined by . genes. found on the . X. and . Y. chromosome. Females: . egg. produced with an . X. chromosome. Males: . ½. sperm cells contain . X. ; and the other . ½. contain . Y. There is a . Definition . Allelle. is . an alternative form of a . gene . (one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific . chromosome. . These DNA coding . determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring. . Sex-Linked Traits. Traits controlled by a gene found on the sex chromosome. The Y chromosome is shorter than X; therefore, some genes on the X chromosome may be missing from Y. Sex-linked disease is less likely to affect females because they have 2 X chromosomes. Inheritance can be defined as the process where one class acquires the properties (methods and fields) of another. . With the use of inheritance the information is made manageable in a hierarchical order.. For Premedical Student. 1438-1439H. Zoology Department. Lecture 24 : . Genetics. (. The Chromosomal Basis. of Inheritance). Objectives. Section B: Sex Chromosomes.. Some chromosomal systems of sex determination.. Karyotype. Karyotype. – a . picture of . chromosomes. Autosomes. : the first 22 homologous pairs of chromosomes. . Autosomes . are the same for both males and females..  Sex chromosomes. : determines the sex of the individual. . Important. Notes. For revision only. Objectives: . Asses Mendel’s laws of inheritance. Understand the . bases. of Mendelian inheritance. Define various patterns of single gene inheritance using family pedigree and Punnett’s squares.
