code breaker
Bees learn landmarks between their nest and the nectar/food source. When is it that they learn those landmarks?
a) as they leave the hive
b) while they are at the flower
c) they learn it from the queen
d) only in the mornings
e) as they leave the flower to head back to hive
e) as they leave the flower to head back to hive
When a segment of DNA is expressed (translated), resulting in a behavior you could see, what would you call that behavior?
Phenotype
What is it called when the allele at a particular gene locus affects multiple different products (e.g., behaviors)?
Pleiotropy
In the inbreeding of the fruit flies in the study, when the homozygous sitters were crossed with the homozygous rovers, and then the F1 generation male was crossed with a F1 generation female. The F1 x F1 cross showed a ____ ratio of rovers to sitters?
3:1
True/False? The rovering vs sitting trait in fruit flies is multigenic.
False
True/False? John and Marsha have a baby girl (epitope). Genetically, the degree of relatedness of Epitope to John or Marsh is 0.25.
False
A study shows MZ twins to have a coorelation of r = 0.80 for Traid “A”, but for DZ twins r = 0.70. In this case, for trait “A”, the h (heritibility) estimate, according to Falconer’s formula, would be
h=0.20
True or False? One of the critisims of the IQ system of measuring intelligence is that intelligence is too complicated to determined by a single measurement.
False
True or False? Specific cognitive abilities, with a heritibility estimate of 30-50%, is higher than IQ.
False
True or False? When comparing the correlations MZ twins to DZ twins on academic performance, the heritibility estimate was over 85%.
False
Which of the following has been genetically linked with mental retardation?
PKU
True or False? According to the interactive theory of development, the “interactive” part refers to the interaction between that person’s genetic information and their environment.
True
True or False? In lecture 5, Microarray technology was discussed as a way to parts of the gnome that can be transcribed or copied to make identical chromosomes.
False
According to the lecture, worker bees go through the certain behaviors at different ages. Which of the choices below most accurately list the sequence?
Cleaning cells > Feeding > Packing Pollen > Foraging
True/False? Looking at the bee, microarray studies showed a difference of 5,500 genes being actively transcribed between bees that were feeding and bees that were foraging.
False
True/False? When Juvinile Hormone was given to young bees, they would switch from feeding to foraging.
True
True or False? When the Corpora allata is removed from young bees, it delays their switching to foraging by no more than 4 days.
False
Exposure to what material produced by foragers controlls the corpora allata’s production of Juvenile hormone?
Ethyl Oleate
The presence of what hormone, when present in the brain at the critical time will cause female rats to exhibit male copulatory behavior?
Testosterone
True/false? If one were to have 5 cages, each with male rats of different ages (newborn to elderly), one could take any of those male rats, remove the testes, and it will develope a feminized brain and exhibit female copulatory behavior.
false
True/False? Injecting testosteron into an adult female zebra finch will induce it to sing.
False
