Pattern of Inheritance

Question 1

Autosomal

Answer 1

Autosomal chromosomes are numbered 1-22
non sex chromosome

Question 2

Recessive

Answer 2

passed to offspring, where both alleles

Question 3

Dominant

Question 4

Sex-Linked inheritable

Question 5

X linked Recessive

Answer 5

Males with recessive gene will always express the phenotype
For females to be affected mother must be a carrier and father must be affected

Question 6

X linked Dominant

Answer 6

Heterozygous females will always show the trait any individual with the trait must have a parent with the trait
Males cannot pass it to their son (as they pass on their Y)

Question 7

Finding pattern of inheritance - Dominant - Affected parent produce affected offspring???

Answer 7

Affected parent produce affected offspring ?? > [Yes] Dominant
Male to Male Transition ??
> [Yes] Autosomal Dominant OR [No] maybe X linked
Daughter male be affected ??
> [Yes] X Linked&raquo_space; Autosomal Dominant

Question 8

Finding pattern of inheritance - Recessive - Affected parent produce affected offspring???

Answer 8

Affected parent produce affected offspring ?? > [No] Recessive
All males affected ?? (almost all) m-f-m
> [Yes] X linked recessive OR [No] No Autosomal Recessive

Question 9

Homozygous

Answer 9

Having two identical alleles for a particular gene

Question 10

Heterozygous

Answer 10

Having two different alleles for a particular gene

Question 11

Phenotype

Answer 11

The physical characteristics of an organism (ex: tall)

Question 12

Genotype

Answer 12

The genetic makeup of an organism (ex: TT)
