#Mode of inheritance full#

You inherit one chromosome in each pair-a full complement of 23-from each parent. The characteristics that the genes express, whether they are physical, behavioral, or biochemical, are a person’s phenotype. An individual’s complete genetic makeup is referred to as his or her genotype. Each of these chromosomes carries hundreds or even thousands of genes, each of which codes for the assembly of a particular protein-that is, genes are “expressed” as proteins. The remaining 22 chromosome pairs are called autosomal chromosomes. Among these is one pair of chromosomes, called the sex chromosomes, that determines the sex of the individual (XX in females, XY in males). Figure 1 shows the pairs in a systematic arrangement called a karyotype. From Genotype to PhenotypeĮach human body cell has a full complement of DNA stored in 23 pairs of chromosomes. But what makes each newborn unique? The answer lies, of course, in the DNA in the sperm and oocyte that combined to produce that first diploid cell, the human zygote. We have discussed the events that lead to the development of a newborn.
