OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to :
• Explain dominant and recessive lethal allele.• Calculate genotypic and phenotypic ratios for
recessive lethal alleles (2:1) • Explain linked genes.• Show the effect of linked genes on the dihybrid test
cross (3:1) in the absence of crossing over.
• Show the effect of linked genes with crossing over on the dihybrid test cross ratio.
• Explain sex-linked genes.

Lethal Genes• lethal genes - genes that leads to the death.• Types of lethal genes.
- Dominant lethal allele - recessive lethal allele
Example for recessive lethal allele• E.g: gene for coat color of rodents (mice). • Wild mice have grey-colored fur (agouti) while mutants,
yellow. • A self cross between mice with yellow fur produces
offspring in the ratio of 2 yellow to 1 agouti.• These results suggest that the allele for yellow (Y) is
dominant to the allele for agouti (y). • So, although the Y allele is dominant for fur color, it is
recessive for the lethal characteristic .• Genotypic and phenotypic ratio is 2:1

If we cross two heterozygotes, expect a 3:1 ratio in progeny
But, in yellow x yellow cross, get:2 yellow : 1 nonyellow

Example of dominant lethal allele- Hungtinton’s disease- A degenerative disease of the nervous system- Has no obvious phenotypic effect until certain
age.- If Hh x hh , with H is dominant allele for
Hungtinton’s disease, 50% of child born inheriting the allele & the disorder.

Linked Genes
Genes that are on the same
chromosome are linked. Such genes do not obey Mendel’s
laws because they do not undergo
independent assortment. They are inherited together unless
separated by crossing over during
prophase 1 of meiosis.

SEX DETERMINATION IN HUMANS
• Human sex is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes called X and Y.
• Because these chromosomes do not look alike, they are called heterosomes.
• All other chromosomes are called autosomes.
• Every human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
![Page 13: Hour 5new](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55903eed1a28aba96a8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Females have two large X chromosomes (XX), males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY).
• During meiosis, the sex chromosomes pair up and segregate into the daughter cells.
• Males are heterogametic sex because they produce different sperm: approximately 50% contain an X chromosome and 50% have a Y chromosome.
• Females produce homogametic sex because all of their egg contain an X chromosome.

Sex Linked Genes
• Human have 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosome.
• Genes carried on the sex chromosomes are said to be sex-linked.
• Human females have two X chromosomes , meaning they have two sex-linked alleles.
![Page 17: Hour 5new](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55903eed1a28aba96a8b46c0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• In males, the Y chromosome is smaller and cannot mirror all the genes found on the X chromosome, so males have only one sex-linked allele.
• This is why males suffer from the effects of X-linked genetic diseases more often than females.
• There are no known Y-linked traits, probably because the Y chromosome carries so few genes.
