Genetics Pedigree Analysis PowerPoint

This document provides information about pedigree analysis: - Pedigree analysis uses family trees to determine traits by representing individuals as squares (males) and circles (females) and their genotypes. - It shows generations with Roman numerals and individuals numbered within each generation. Lines represent matings and offspring. - Examples analyze pedigrees to determine affected individuals, carriers, and predicted offspring from hypothetical matings.

Genetics: Pedigree

Analysis
Pedigree Analysis 1

 Another way you can determine traits is by a Pedigree Analysis


 In a Pedigree Analysis instead of seeing just the parents alleles
you can see the entire known family tree.
Pedigree Analysis 2

 Males are represented as squares


 Females are represented as circles
 Homozygous Dominant are blank
 Homozygous Recessive are colored
 Heterozygous (carriers) are half blank
Pedigree Analysis 3

 This line represents a mating


 This line shows the offspring
from the mating
 Each generation is shown by
a Roman Numeral
 Each individual within a
generation is designated by a
number
Pedigree Analysis: Example 1

 Look at the following Pedigree Analysis for a recessive trait in the Shackleford
Banks horses. How many males have the trait? Females? Are there any
carriers?
Pedigree Analysis: Example 1 Answers

 Males- I1, II1, III1


 Females- None are Homozygous for the trait
 Carriers- II2, II3, II4, III2
Upper Grades

Pedigree Analysis: Example 2


 Looking at the Pedigree Analysis, answer the following questions.
 What is the relation between II3 and II4?
 What is the relation between III3 and III5?
 What is the relation between III2 and III7?
 What is the relation between III2 and II5?
 How many cousins does III4 have?
Upper Grades

Pedigree Analysis: Example 2 Answers

 What is the relation between II3 and II4?


 Married/Mated

 What is the relation between III3 and III5?


 Siblings

 What is the relation between III2 and III7?


 Cousins

 What is the relation between III2 and II5?


 Nephew/Aunt

 How many cousins does III4 have?


 5
Upper Grades

Pedigree Analysis: Example 3

 The following Pedigree Analysis is for the recessive trait blue eyes in horses.
 List all the male horses that will have blue eyes.
 List all the female horses that will be carriers for blue eyes.
 If you were to breed III1 with a male heterozygote what percent of the offspring
will have blue eyes? What percent will be carriers?
Upper Grades

Pedigree Analysis: Example 3 Answers

 Males with blue eyes- III3


 Female carriers- I2, II4, II8, III5,
III7
 50% will have blue eyes, and 50%
will be carriers
