    The document discusses different types of pedigrees used to track genetic traits, including: 1) An autosomal recessive pedigree tracking the inability to taste PTC. The pedigree shows a family where the daughter is a non-taster who married a non-taster man and had two non-tasting sons. 2) Sex-linked pedigrees track traits on the X chromosome, such as colorblindness. Females require two X chromosomes with the recessive allele to show the trait while males need only one. 3) Autosomal dominant pedigrees track traits that appear when an individual has at least one dominant allele, such as a widow's

    Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: Pedigrees


    Autosomal Recessive Pedigree
    Directions: Consider a pedigree that is tracking an autosomal recessive trait, where two recessive alleles (tt) result
    in the inability to taste a chemical known as PTC. The ability to taste PTC is determined by the presence of a
    dominant allele (T). Complete the missing boxes in the chart. The first row has been done for you as an example!

    *Note: The ability to taste PTC may be more complex than a simple gene trait.

    Individual Phenotype Shape (in Pedigree) Shaded?


    Male with genotype TT PTC taster Square No
    Male with genotype Tt 1. 2. 3.
    Male with genotype tt 4. 5. 6.
    Female with genotype TT 7. 8. 9.
    Female with genotype Tt 10. 11. 12.
    Female with genotype tt 13. 14. 15.

    Design an Autosomal Recessive Pedigree!

    A couple with the ability to taste PTC have two grown sons and one grown daughter. The sons have the ability to
    taste PTC. Their daughter is a PTC non-taster. She married a PTC non-taster man, and they have two sons.

    Draw a pedigree in the box on the right that fully 16.


    represents the above scenario and tracks the inability to
    taste PTC (non-taster), which is caused by two recessive t
    alleles. In your illustrated pedigree, please make sure that:

    (A) generations are listed as Roman numerals and


    the individuals are numbered.
    (B) the correct shapes for males and females are
    used.
    (C) the shapes that require shading are shaded.
    (D) the genotypes are listed next to each pedigree
    shape.

    17. What is the phenotype of the sons in generation III? How do you know? ___________________________

    Sex-Linked Pedigrees

    Sex-linked traits that are tracked in pedigrees are typically on the X chromosome. Assume the following questions
    refer to colorblindness, which is a sex-linked recessive trait on the X chromosome.

    18. Circle the genotype(s) that represent(s) a female with the sex-linked recessive trait.
    XBXB XBXb XbXb XBY XbY

    19. Circle the genotype(s) that represent(s) a male with the sex-linked recessive trait.
    XBXB XBXb XbXb XBY XbY

    20. View the above sex-linked recessive pedigree. Can you be certain of generation I, individual #1s
    genotype? Why or why not? _______________________________________________________________

    21. All males receive their X chromosome from their ______________________________________________.

    22. How are sex-linked pedigrees different from autosomal pedigrees? _______________________________

    Autosomal Dominant Pedigree

    What about tracking an autosomal dominant trait, such as having a widows peak? The presence of one dominant
    allele for this widows peak hairline (H) will result in an individual having a widows peak. Since this pedigree is
    tracking an autosomal dominant trait, shaded shapes have a widows peak hairline. *Note: In reality, this trait may
    be more complex than just a simple gene.

    23. How many dominant alleles does an individual need in order to have the autosomal dominant trait? ____

    24. Is it possible to know the genotypes of the three children in generation III? _________________________
    Should their shapes be shaded? ____________________________ Explain your answer to both questions.
