• Genes code for a trait. • A version of a gene is called an allele• You have two copies of each gene, one from

each parent.

The sry gene controls testicular development and is only found in males. Which chromosome is it most likely found on?

A) On any autosomal chromosome (1-22) B) On Chromosome #8 C) On the X Sex Chromosome D) On the Y Sex Chromosome

Two words to know:

• Genotype: The genes or combination of alleles shown by two letters. (Tt, TT, tt, Rr, RR, rr, CC, Cc, cc)

• Phenotype: How an organism looks like (Tall, short, Round, Squared, Colorblind, Not Colorblind)

– Phenotype: Physical Features!!! – Genotype: Genes!!

• If a boy inherits an allele for brown eyes and another for blue eyes, what will his eye color be?

• Some alleles are dominant, meaning they block the expression of the other allele. Dominant alleles are CAPITALIZED! The allele that is not dominant is called recessive (lower case letter)

Homozygous: genotype with two same alleles for a trait

(Example: TT, tt)

Heterozygous: genotype with two different alleles for a trait (Example: Tt)

The Famous Punnett Square• Used to predict the traits of an offspring. EX: What is the probability or what is the chance that my child will have brown eyes? • You need mom and dad’s genotypes to figure

this out.

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder. It is a sex-linked recessive trait. Hemophiliacs tend to bleed inside their body, especially in the knees, ankles, and elbows. This bleeding can damage organs and tissues and may be life threatening. A wife is a carrier, the male has hemophilia.

What is the probability that a baby girl will have hemophilia? ___/____ or _______% What is the probability that a baby boy will have hemophilia? ___/____ or _______% What is the probability that the next child will NOT have hemophilia? ___/____ or _______%
