EXAM 3 Flashcards
whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on
A which chromosome it is on
B whether it is inherited from the mother or father
C whether or not it is linked to other genes
D ho common an alle is relative to other alleles
E whether it or another allele determines the phenotype in the heterozygote
E whether it or another allele determines the phenotype in the heterozygote
the phenotype of an individual
depends at least in part on the genotype
father has type O mother has type AB what blood types could their children have
Children could have blood types A or B
a test cross is used to
determine whether an organism expressing the dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous
in humans brown spotting of teeth is caused by a dominant X-linked gene id a man with brown teeth married a woman with normal teeth ……
all of their dughters would have brown teeth
ABO blood groups are an example of
COdominance
coat color in Labrador retievers is an example of
epistasis
all the offspring of a white fox and black fox are all greay the simplest expleanation for this pattern of inheritance is
incomplete dominance
a woman with hempopilia marries a normal man which of the following would best describe their children
A. their daughters will be hemophilic their sons will be normal
B their daughters will be normal their sons will be hempphelic
C all their daughters and sons will be carriers
D all daughters will be normal and 1/2 sons will be hemophilic
E all children will be hemophilic
B their daughters will be normal theirs sons will be hemophilic
which of the following human traits is caused by non-disjunction
A xxy( klinefelters syndrome) B downs sydrom C sickle cell disease D hemophilia E both A and B
E both xxy( klinefelters syndrome) and downs syndrome
which of the following human traits is caused by an autosomal dominant alle
huntingtons disease
CcDd is crossed with CcDd what fraction of the offdpring are expected to have the first gene and the ressve pheno type for the second gene
3/16
cystic fibrosis is an autosomal rescessive disease in one family bth parents are heterozygous and they have two children what is the probabloity that both children are normal
9/16
why are some phenotypes complex
the phenotype is affected by the environment and is determined by multiple genes

mRNA
which of the following enzymes can synthesize a strand of rna
DNA polymerase and rna polymerase
what is the function of the enzymes known as aminozcyl tRNA synthetase
they put amino acids on the tRNA
what contribution did rosalind franklin make to the discovery of the structure of DNA
she performed the X-ray crystaliography
where does transcription begin
at the promoter
ribosomes are composed of
a few proteins and four rRNA molecules
what is the name of the enzymes that unwinds the double helix of DNA
helicase
what cause sickle cell disease
a missense mutation
what is the result when hologous chromosomes break at differnt positions and swap segments
deletion and duplication
the PCR reaction
amplifies specific DNA sequences
in PCR double stranded fragments of DNA are seperated into single strands by
heating

theyre excision repair mechanism does not work properly
bacteriophage are bacteria that eat other bacteria
false
