    1) The document discusses multiple alleles, where there are more than two alleles for a single gene, resulting in more than three phenotypes. It provides blood type as an example, with alleles IA, IB, and i determining types A, B, and O. 2) It then presents a problem where the chance of a child having type O is calculated if the parents are heterozygous for types A and B. 3) Sex-linked traits are discussed next, noting traits carried on the X chromosome, with examples like red-green colorblindness.

    Multiple Alleles

    More than 2 alleles for a gene (more than 3 phenotypes) Individuals still only have a combination of two alleles Often times this inheritance also displays co-dominance Blood type has 3 alleles IA ; IB ; i (A, B, o) TYPES: A IAIA, IAi (AA, Ao) B IBIB , IBi (BB, Bo) AB IAIB (AB) O ii (oo)

    Multiple Allele Problem


    A man heterozygous for blood type B marries a woman heterozygous for blood type A. What is the chance that their first offspring will have type O? i Two babies IB Given and Alleles: ID tags were lost, determine which baby belongs to which parents: Bi B=I Baby 1 = Blood type A Baby 2A B Blood Type BA = IO I I I i Ai A= I Mr. & Mrs. Doe have blood types A Mr. & Mrs. Jones have blood types A & B i Cross: Hetero B x hetero A IBi ii Bi x Ai I I

    Sex-Linked (X-linked traits)


    Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes Pairs 1-22 are autosomal Pair 23 determines sex XX = female XY = male ***Certain traits are carried only on the X chromosome The Y chromosome is blank

    X-Linked Traits
    Ex:Red & white eyes Female=XX Add eye trait= XRXR or XRXr XrXr Male= XY Add eye trait= XRY or XrY Y is empty

    Examples of Sex-Linked Traits


    Red-green colorblindness Male Pattern Baldness Hemophilia Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

    Ishihara test

    Demo Problems
    If a female that has hemophilia mates with a normal blood clotting male what is the likelihood that their son is a hemophiliac? Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked disorder.

    In humans, red-green colorblindness is a recessive sex-linked trait. What would the phenotypes of offspring be if the father was colorblind and the mother was a carrier?
