OBJECTIV Explain Sex related Inheritance

ES
2
Differentiate the three types of sex related
inheritance
 INCOMPLETE
DOMINANCE
a heterozygote shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the
two homozygous phenotypes. Neither allele is dominant over the
other.

CODOMINANCE
LET'S
This results when one allele is not
dominant over the other. RECALL
MULTIPLE
ALLELES
even if only two alleles control a trait, there may actually
be more than two types of alleles available. This will
also lead to more than two phenotypes
expressed.
WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
AUTOSOME
AND SEX-
CHROMOSOM
E
AUTOSOMES are the first 22
homologous pairs of human
chromosomes that do not
influence the sex of any
individual

SEX-CHROMOSOMES are the

23rd pair that determine the sex
of an individual

DECIDES?
The mother gives X and father gives Y

If the father gives X to the mother's X

then it would be XX (a girl)

If the father gives Y to the mother's X

then it would be XY (a boy)
