Genetics Flashcards
1
Q
testis-determining gene
A
SRY
2
Q
hormone produced by the Sertoli cells to suppress formation of the paramesonephric ducts
A
mullerian inhibitory substance
3
Q
region on the X and Y chromosomes that is essentially identical and undergoes homologous recombination in meiosis I like autosomes
A
pseudoautosomal region
SRY gene is located close to the pseudoautosomal region
4
