CHROMOSOMES
• Chromosomes are thread-like structures in which DNA is tightly packaged
within the nucleus. DNA is coiled around proteins called histones, which
provide the structural support.
• In humans, 46 chromosomes are arranged in 23 pairs, including 22 pairs of
chromosomes called autosomes.
• The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females.
• Females have two copies of the X chromosome (one inherited from the
mother and one from the father.
• Males have one copy of the X chromosome (inherited from the mother)
and one copy of the Y chromosome (inherited from the father).
GENES
• Genes are the blueprints for building the chemical machinery that
keeps cells alive. That’s true for humans and all other forms of life.
• Genes are present on the chromosomes.
• Genes contains information in code that allows the cell to make a
specific protein, so-called as gene product.
• There are 25000-30000 human genome.
DNA
•What is DNA?
DNA stands for –’ deoxyribonucleic acid’, is the hereditary material in humans and
almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.
DNA is a group of molecules that is responsible for carrying and transmitting the
hereditary materials or the genetic instructions from parents to offspring.
The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine
(A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion
GENETIC PATTERN OF INHERITANCE
iv ) X-linked recessive
X-linked recessive inheritance refers to genetic conditions associated with mutations in
genes on the X chromosome. A male carrying such a mutation will be affected, because
he carries only one X chromosome.
A female carrying a mutation in one gene, with a normal gene on the other X
chromosome, is generally unaffected.
THANK YOU !
