INHERITANCE OVER GENERATIONS

Using a Punnett square, one may be able to be

able to find the probability that a trait might be
pass down from parents to offspring

Any observable feature produced by genes

Trait - ___________________________________
That were inherited from parents

Nevertheless, Punnett Squares will be unable to

Display any pattern of inheritance through generations

A pedigree can be use to do so

INHERITANCE OVER GENERATIONS

Using a pedigree, you be able to distinguish how different trait follow a certain pattern
when being inherited

Types of Traits
are characteristics that inherited due to genes found on the 22 autosomal chromosomes
Autosomal These
______________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________

These traits will follow the Mendelian inheritance

If
dominant gene is present, the dominant trait will be displayed
___________________________________________________________________

These are traits that controlled the X or Y chromosome

Sex-linked ______________________________________________________________________
Sometimes, these traits will follow Mendelian inheritance
Also, there are some traits or disorders that if the gene is present, the disorder will be present
Hunting tons disease

INHERITANCE OVER GENERATIONS

On occasion, there will be some disturbance
in gene inheritance that may lead to the
mutation of a gene

These genes lead to the inheritance of genetic

disorders
Mutation in one or a few genes
Genetic disorder __________________________
