As you read the 14.1 lesson, look for the main ideas. Within each idea, look for details. Add details to the spider map. Some have been added for you. HUMAN CHROMOSOMES KARYOTYPES sex chromosomes HUMAN PEDIGREES dominant and TRANSMISSION recessive alleles Mendel’s Principles of Genetics OF HUMAN TRAITS sex-linked inheritance 9 . Colorblindness is a sex-linked trait. Let C represent an allele for normal color vision. Let c represent an allele for colorblindness. The genotype for a male with normal color vision is XCY. The genotype for a female heterozygous for normal color vision is XCXc. Complete the Punnett square to show the genotypes and phenotypes of their possible offspring.

For Questions 15–20, match the labels to the parts of the pedigree chart shown below. Some of the labels may be used more than once. ! 15. A person who expresses the trait ! 16. A male ! 17. A person who does not express the trait ! 18. A marriage ! ! 19. A female 20. A connection between parents and offspring 4 Biology Honors I! ! Name ___________________ Period ___ The ABO blood group gene codes for different antigens on the surface of a person’s red blood cells. There are three alleles for this gene: IA, IB, and i. Depending on a person’s alleles, they can have A antigens, B antigens, both, or none. Label the antigens on the red blood cells. Use these labels: B only, A only, both, or none. The first one has been done for you. Blood Groups Blood Type Genotype Antigen on Red Blood Cell A IAIA or IAi A only B IBIB or IBi AB IAIB O ii Answer the questions. 21. Which blood-group alleles are codominant?! 22. Which allele is recessive?! 23. A patient gives a blood sample in which the red blood cells have A antigens. ! What are three possible genotypes for that blood sample?! 24. The blood type O can be safely given in a transfusion to all blood types. ! Why?! ! 25. Dimples in the cheeks are inherited as a dominant trait on an autosome. Using the proper form and symbols, draw a pedigree chart, beginning with a heterozygous, dimpled father (Dd), and a nondimpled mother (dd). Show four children of the expected types: boys, girls, dimples, and no dimples. Label your pedigree with phenotypes and genotypes. 5
