Karyotyping ... Biochemical testing

What is meant by the statement that "male bees are fatherless"?

Male bees develop from unfertilized eggs

Sex-linked conditions are more common in men then in women because

Men need to inherit only one copy of the recessive allele for the condition to be fully expressed.

Most human genetic diseases are treatable id caught early.

WHich of the following statements best explains why dominant alleles that cause lethal disorders are less common than recessive alleles that cause lethal disorders

Most individuals carrying a lethal dominant allele have the disorder and die before they reproduce, whereas individuals carrying a lethal recessive allele are more likely to be healthy and reproduce

Which of the following statements best represents the theory of pangenesis developed by hippocrates?

Partivces called pangenes, which originate in each part of an organism's body, collect in the sperm or eggs and a passed on to the next generation

Which of the following statements regarding sickle-cell disease is false?

Sickle-cell disease causes white blood cells to be sickle-shaped

A color blind woman marries a man who is not color blind. All of thier sons, nut none of their daughter, are color-blind. Which of the following statement correctly explains results?

The gene for color version is linked to the X chromosome

Which of the following statements regarding cross-breeding and hybridization is false?

The hybrid offspring of a cross are the P1 generation

The alleles of a gene are found at _____chromosomes

The same locus on homologous

Varieties of plants in which self-fertilization produces offspring that are identical to the parents are referred to as

Tru-breeding

The sex chromosome complement of a normal human male is

XY

A monohybrid cross is

a breeding experiment in which the parental varieties differ in only one character

A testcross is

a mating between an individual of unknown genotype and an individual heterozyous recessive for the trait of interest

Which of the following statements dogs is false?

all dogs are descended from wolves

How is sex determined in most ants and bees?

by the number of chromosomes

Sickle-cell disease is an example of

codominace and pleiotropy

A person with AB blood illustrates the principle of

codominance

the expression of both alleles for a trait in a heterozygous individual illustrates

codominance

The mechanism that "breaks" the linkage between linked genes is

crossing over

Linked genes generally

do not follow the laws of independent assortment

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that

each pair of alleles segregates independently of the other pairs of alleles during gamete formation

The individual features of all organisms are the result of

genetics and the environment.

Which of the following is an example of incomplete donminance in humans?

hypercholesterolemia

Imagine that beak color is a finch species is controlled by a single gene. You mate a finch homozygous for orange (pigmented) beak with a finch homozygous for ivory (unpigmented) beak and get numerous offspring, all of which have a pale, ivory-orange beak. This pattern of color expression is most likely to be an example of

incomplete dominance

all the offspring of a cross between a red-flowered plant and a white -flowered plant have pink flowers. This means that the alleles for red flowers is_______to be the alleles for white flowers

incomplete dominance

Which of the following statements is false?

incomplete dominance supports the blending hypothesis

Any gene located in a sex chromosome

is called a sex-linked gene.

Genes located close together on the same chromosomes are referred to as___genes and generally___

liked....do not sort independently during meiosis

The vast majority of people afflicted with recessive disorders are born to parents who were

not affected at all by the disease

How many sex chromosomes are in a human gamete?

one

What is the normal complement of sex chromosomes in a human male?

one X chromosome and one Y chromosome

Mendel conducted his most memorable experiments on

peas.

Which of the following terms refers to a situation where a single phenotypic character is determined by the a effects of two or more genes?

polygenic inheritance

Most genetic disorders of humans are caused by

recessive alleles

Crossing over___genes into assortments of __not found in the parents

recombines linked ...alleles

Female inheritance patterns cannot be analyzed by simply studying the X chromosome because

the X Chromosomes is obtained from both father and mother

Imagine that we mate two black Labrador dogs with normal vision and find that three of the puppies are like the parents, but one puppy is chocolate with normal vision and another is black with PRA (progressive retinal atrophy, a serious disease of vision). We can conclude that

the alleles for color and vision segregate independently during gamete formation

The chromosome theory of inheritance states that

the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for patterns of inheritance.

Which of the following statements regarding hypotheses about inheritance is false?

the blending hypothesis suggests that all of the offspring come either the mother or the father

Which of the following kinds of data could be used to map the relative position of three genes on a chromosome?

the frequencies with which the corresponding traits occur together in offspring?

Recessive X-linked traits are more likely to be expressed in a male fruit fly than a female fruit fly because

the male's phenotype results entirely from single Xlinked gene.
