Organisms that have two different alleles for a trait are called …..
ANSWER: Heterozygous
ANSWER: Genotypes of parents Possible results of the cross Possible genotypes of the children
ANSWER: When the dominant allele is present the recessive allele is masked
Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is caused by a dominant gene. A woman and a man both withdwarfism marry. If homozygous achondroplasia results in death of embryos, list thegenotypes and phenotypes of all potential live-birth offspring.
ANSWER: 2 Aa Dwarfism 1aa Normal
What type of dominance allows all alleles present to be fully expressed?
ANSWER: Codominance
In a family of four, 1 child has curly hair, 1 child has straight hair, and 2 children have wavy hair. Show what the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents would have to be.What kind of dominance is this?
ANSWER: Parent 1 – genotype Cc Phenotype – wavy hair Incomplete dominance
Two newborn babies were accidentally mixed up at the hospital. Determine the parents of the babies by blood type.
ANSWER: Baby 1 Brown Baby 2 Smith
What type of inheritance is shown by human skin color, height, eye color, etc.?
ANSWER: Polygenic
What is the difference between multiple alleles and polygenic inheritance
ANSWER: Multiple alleles – one gene has more than 2 variants or alleles for a trait Polygenic – multiple genes ( can be on multiple chromosomes) all interact to produce a phenotype
ANSWER: Men, they have one X chromosome, thus they only need one recessive and it is expressed
What are genetic test performed on? (What are valid samples?)
ANSWER: Blood Skin Hair Amniotic fluid
If you mutate a sequence of DNA which do you alter?GenomeEpigenomeProteome
ANSWER: Genome
Why can an organism produce more proteins than they have genes(Ex 20,000 genes and 120,000 proteins)
ANSWER: Proteins are made up of various combinations of polypetides Genes code for primary structure Also modification after transcriptions allows RNA to be “modular” in function
If two people who are both carriers for a genetically inherited fatal recessive disease decide to become parents, what will be the odds that their children will also be carriers?
ANSWER: 50% or 2 out of 4
What attaches to the strand of DNA to inhibit transcription of the gene
ANSWER: A methyl group or acetyl group
ANSWER: During the first days after an egg is fertilized
How are histones manipulated to loosen them up and allow the DNA to be transcripted?
ANSWER: Acetyl or methyl groups attach to them and the negative charges repel or attract the histones away from each other
If the human genome is like a computer, what is the epigenome like?
ANSWER: Computer Software
The alleles for eye color and for body color are on the X chromosome of Drosophila, but not on the Y. Red eye color (w+) is dominant to white eye color (w), and tan body color (y+ ) is dominant to yellow body color (y). What is the genotype of a tan-bodied, white-eyed male?
In horses, coat color is often codominant. The chestnut horse carries two chestnut alleles (Cc)The palomino horse carries on chestnut allele (Cc)and one crème allele (Ccr). A horse with two crème alleles is called a cremello.A. If you were to breed a chestnut horse with a palomino what would the offspring be like?B. What are the possible combinations of parents to get a cremello horse?
ANSWER: Chestnut (CcCc)Xpalomino(CcCcr) 50% Chestnut 50% Palomino Cremello X Cremello 100% Cremello Palomino X Cremello 50% Cremello Palomino X Palomino 25% Cremello
In a dihybrid cross, the expected ratio in the F2 generation is..
ANSWER: 9:3:3:1
Epigenetics is critical to what process that occurs during very early development of the fetus?
ANSWER: Cell differentiation
ANSWER: A cross between an dominant phenotype and a recessive phenotype to determine the genotype of the dominant phenotype
If two parents are heterozygous for a genetically inherited dominant trait, what is the probability that they will have a child together who has this trait in his or her phenotype?
ANSWER: 75%
