Mutations
• Definition:
A change in the genetic
material (DNA or RNA) of a
cell
– Somatic: If it occurs in body
cells, it can’t be passed on
to next generation
– Germ-line: If it occurs in
gametes, it can be passed
on to next generation

Mutations in Genes
1.
Point Mutation: Affects one nucleotide
(One nucleotide is replaced by another)
- three types of point mutations
let’s look at one example…

Linked Genes
In flies, grey bodies (G) and normal-wing size (W) are
dominant to black bodies (g) and small wing size (w).
In this cross will the F1 grey flies always have normal
wings and will black flies always have small wings?

Linked Genes

wing size are “linked”,meaning
they are found on the same
chromosome.
They will most likely be

• Genes that are closer
together on the same
chromosome are less likely
to cross over, therefore
segregate.
• Genes that are farther
apart on the same
chromosome are more
likely to cross over and
segregate
• Genes that are on different
chromosomes will always
segregate independently

Sex-Linkage or (X-linked)
In fruit flies, (R) is the dominant gene for red eyes, and (r)
is the recessive gene for white eyes. The gene is found on
the “X” chromosome. This is considered X-linked.

Sex-Linkage or (X-linked)
Watch this video to clarify your
knowledge of sex-linked traits
• When genes are sex-linked, we include the X
and Y as part of their genotype. For example,
the allele for red eye is not “R” but is written as
XR. How would you write the allele for white
eye?
Xr

You work in a fruit fly lab and you cross a
heterozygote red-eye female with a redeye male. Predict the F1 offspring using a
punnett square. What is the phenotypic

more genes

chromosomes fail to separate during
Meiosis I – or – when sister chromatids fail
to separate during Meiosis II.

You will be assigned one of the following genetic disorders:
1) Color Blindness
3) Cystic Fibrosis
5) Down’s Syndrome
7) Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
9) Edward’s Syndrome
11)Fragile X Syndrome
13)Hemophilia

You will work alone on this project. If you have a disease that a
classmate has, you may collaborate during research, but you must
each create your own brochure and present it in a different way.
Be careful of plagiarism! Plagiarised projects will automatically a zero,
possibly even a double zero score!
A Pedigree is…
Generally: A genetic family tree
Specifically: It is a chart of the
genetic history of family over several
generations.

Back to Overview
Interpreting a Pedigree Chart
1. Determine if the pedigree chart shows an
autosomal or X-linked disease.
a. If most of the males in the pedigree are
affected the disorder is X-linked .
b. If it is a 50/50 ratio between men and
women the disorder is autosomal .
Example of Pedigree Charts
• Is it Autosomal or X-linked?
Answer
• Autosomal
Interpreting a Pedigree Chart
2. Determine whether the disorder is
dominant or recessive.
a. If the disorder is dominant, one of the
parents must have the disorder.
b. If the disorder is recessive, neither
parent has to have the disorder because
they can be heterozygous.
Example of Pedigree Charts
• Dominant or Recessive?
Answer
• Dominant
Example of Pedigree Charts

Answer
• Recessive
Summary
• Pedigrees are family trees that explain
your genetic history.
• Pedigrees are used to find out the
probability of a child having a disorder in a
particular family.
• To begin to interpret a pedigree, determine
if the disease or condition is autosomal or
X-linked and dominant or recessive.
