Lactose Intolerance Worksheet
Learning Objectives:
Following the workshop, participants will be able to:
Define genotype and phenotype of a trait using lactose intolerance as an example.
Explain how most traits, including lactose tolerance, can be influenced by both genetic and
non-genetic factors.
Describe one class activity utilizing the lactose intolerance report to teach multifactorial
inheritance.
Introduction
:
In addition to the ancestry reports, 23andMe provides reports for three other categories: Carrier
Status,* Traits, and Wellness. For this workshop, we will be focusing on the wellness report for
lactose intolerance.
Lactose Intolerance
Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese contain the sugar lactose. An enzyme called
lactase breaks down this sugar. If a person doesn’t produce enough lactase, gut bacteria can
convert lactose into gas, causing indigestion, known as lactose intolerance. Some people
can digest dairy products without a problem, while others experience indigestion after
consuming dairy products. These differences are largely due to a person’s lactase enzyme
levels.
Lactose Intolerance Workshop Part I: Comparing Profiles
Complete the table comparing each of the example profiles for their percent predominant ethnicities, in
addition to their likely phenotypes, and genotypes for lactose intolerance. Then answer the questions
analyzing the data.

The role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms
(LS1-4)
Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions
for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring. (LS3-1)
Objective:
1. Identify the types of chromosomes in a human karyotype.
2. Interpret data in a human karyotype and diagnose an individual, based on the data
and research of chromosomal disorders.
Introduction:
This exercise is a simulation of human karyotyping using images of chromosomes
created by your teacher from actual human genetic studies. Cell biologists analyze chromosomes
by looking at karyotypes. A karyotype is a picture of chromosomes arranged in homologous
pairs. A karyotype shows all 44 autosomes, (#'s 1-22 in the karyotype) and the 2 sex
chromosomes, (XX or XY). All 46 human chromosomes.

Q6. Many different mutations (>1500 to date) in the CFTR gene can cause Cystic Fibrosis
(CF). The disease shows allelic heterogeneity and many CF sufferers are compound
heterozygotes i.e. they have two different mutations, one in each of their copies of the CFTR
gene. ~1 in 25 people in Australia are carriers for CF (an autosomal recessive disease). DNA
tests are used to detect CF mutations in carriers but it is too expensive to test, or screen for
all mutations so only the most common mutations are tested for. A typical CF carrier screen
is 90% accurate, i.e. 10% of mutations are missed by the screen.
a. Use Bayesian Analysis to calculate the probability that a woman who: a) has no family
history of CF; and b) tests negative (negative means no mutation is found) on a mutation
screen, is a carrier. Provide answers to 3 decimal places.

Trait: Neurofibromatosis
Forms of the trait:
A The dominant form is neurofibmmatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein
neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous
tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness Some tumors can convert to a
cancerous form
A The recessive form is a pormal protein-in other words, no neurofibromatosis
A typical pedigree for a famity that caries neurofibromatosis is shown below Note that carriers are not
indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis
allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.

Procedure:
1. Read the given problem
A Color-blindness is a recessive, sex-linked disorder in humans. A color-
blind man has a child with a woman who is a carrier of the disorder.
KEY X normal vision X color blindness
2. Illustrate using a Punnett square the probability of having children who will
have normal vision and children who will be color-blind.
Guide Questions:
Q 18. What is the genotype of the male?
Q 19. What is the genotype of the female?
Q 20. What is the chance that the child will be color-blind?
Q 21. What is the chance that a daughter will be color-blind?
Q 22. What is the chance that a son will be color-blind?
Key Concepts
•
Sex-linked traits are inherited through the X chromosomes.
Males have only one X chromosome. Thus, if they inherit the affected
X, they will have the disorder
Females have two X chromosomes. Therefore, they can inherit/carry
the trait…

This exercise primarily addresses
o MLO 1: Correctly assign and interpret allele symbols according to the conventions of the fruit fly research community.
o
MLO 2: Correctly assign genotypes and phenotypes to parents and offspring in genetic crosses given a mode of inheritance.
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance
We learned in the Linkage Mapping lab module the conventions for representing alleles in fruit flies. Recall that we use one to three letters,
and the case (upper or lower) is determined by whether the mutant allele is recessive or dominant. Additionally, we add a "+" as a
superscript to indicate the wild-type ("normal") allele.
For example, if a new mutant phenotype is recessive, we can represent the recessive allele as m. Then the wild-type allele is mt, and m+ >
m. Based on the rule of dominance, we can predict phenotypes based on genotypes:
mm Wild type

Background Reminders:
Dominant allele will express itself in the phenotype even when in combination with a different allele (recessive).
Example: PP and Pp (purple flowers)
Recessive allele does not express itself in the phenotype when combined with another allele (dominant)
Example: pp (white flower) -> expressed only when recessive is by itself
