Exam 2 (25/30)

Question 1

T/F: The Prairie vole is monogamous whereas the Montane vole is polygamous. Dr. Young discovers that Prairie voles have greater numbers of vasopressin receptors in the ventral Pallidus than Montane voles. These results demonstrate that increased vasopressin receptors in the ventral Pallidus is associated with monogamy in Prairie voles.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

When placed in cages with access to running wheels, the inbred mouse strain, A/J, runs approximately 15km/day whereas BALB/c inbred mice run about 5km/day. You discover that the promoter region of the D1 receptor differs between these two strains in the form of a SNP. This result provides evidence that the D1 receptor influences wheel running?

Answer 2

False

Question 3

If the chart for behavior:#alleles show a rising trend, that means…

Answer 3

A gene or genetic variant at or near the promoter of the (target SNP) influences (behavior)
