These chromosomal abnormalities are the result of Nondisjunction

Sex-Linked Traits
Sex-linked diseases are X linked
The sex chrom. are the X and y
Consider Hemophilia (the inability for blood to clot properly) Also Colorblindness (the inability to distinguish certain colors) Gene that can cause it found on X chrom.

Sex-Linked Traits
Hemophilia (sex-linked recessive) Females/Males: XH XH Female, normal XH Xh Female, normal (carrier) Xh Xh Female, hemophilia
XH y Xh y Male, normal Male, hemophilia

Inheritance Patterns
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT
Only one gene on one chrom. is needed to display the disorder

AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE
Two copies of gene must be present to display the disorder

X-Linked DOMINANT
Genes on the X chrom. that are dominant

X-Linked RECESSIVE (like hemophilia)

Pedigrees
A pedigree chart is a tool used to show all the known phenotypes of an organism and its ancestors Used in human genealogy study
