Q

When pairs of homologous chromosomes
separate during anaphase I,

A

the sister chromatids remain linked to one another

20
Q

undergo the first meiotic division in the production of sperm

A

primary spermatocytes

21
Q

A cross between homozygous purple-flowered and homozygous white-flowered
pea plants results in offspring with purple
flowers. This demonstrates

A

dominance

22
Q

I know that black coat color in mice is
dominant to albino. Black mice get a higher
price at the pet store so I am disappointed
when I cross a black mouse with an albino
mouse and get 6 albino and 2 black mice in
the litter. I expected all black. What mistake
did I make?

A

I assumed that my black mouse
was true-breeding.

23
Q

If non-disjunction occurs during meiosis,
then

A

a gamete may obtain more than one
homologue

24
Q

If nondisjunction occurs in meiosis II
during gametogenesis, what will be the result at the completion of meiosis?

A

One gamete will be n + 1
one will be n – 1
and two will be n

25
Q

If a pair of homologous chromosomes
fails to separate during anaphase of meiosis I, what will be the chromosome number of the four resulting gametes with respect to the normal haploid number (n)?

A

n + 1; n + 1; n – 1; n - 1

26
Q

The terms trisomic, monosomic, and aneuploid all refer to chromosomal abnormalities involving an abnormal number of chromosomes.

Trisomic refers to the presence of an extra chromosome

monosomic refers to the absence of one chromosome,

aneuploid refers to any abnormal number of chromosomes.

BUT
triploid refers to a condition where an organism or cell line has three sets of haploid (single) chromosomes, which is not directly related to the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes.

A
27
Q

Of the ff. human trisomy, the one that
generally has the most severe impact on the health of the individual is

A

trisomy 21

28
Q

A human individual is phenotypically
female, but her interphase somatic nuclei do not show the presence of Barr bodies
(normally present in female). Which of the
following statements concerning her is true?

A

She has Turner syndrome

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder characterized by the complete or partial monosomy of the X chromosome in females (45, X)

In individuals with Turner syndrome, one of the X chromosomes is either missing

29
Q

Blue diaper syndrome is a rare inborn
error of human metabolism. Certain amino
acids are not absorbed in the small intestine
and are excreted, causing a blue color in the feces. A normal individual married an
affected person but all their children are
normal, what are the genotypes of the
couple?

A

AA x aa

30
Q

If a purple pea flower is test crossed and
produces at least 1 white flower (purple is
dominant than white), what is the genotype
of the purple pea flower?

A

Pp

31
Q

In cattle, the polled (hornless) condition
is due to a dominant gene, while its recessive
allele causes horns to appear. What is the
chance of getting polled calf from the cross
between two non-polled cattle?

A

0

32
Q

True or false. All of the cells within an
individual are genetically identical.

A

true

33
Q

t or f: Trisomy 21 is hereditary.

A

false

34
Q

. True or false. Sex limited inheritance
refers to traits that are located on the X or Y
chromosome.

A

false

Sex limited inheritance refers to traits that are visible only within one sex, but are determined by genes located on autosomes (non-sex chromosomes)

35
Q

A cell missing both copies of the
chromosome

A

nullisomic

36
Q

An individual made up several genetic
lineage

A

mosaics or chimeras

37
Q

organisms which receive a set or multiple
sets of chromosomes from other species

A

Allopolyploid

38
Q

A better option to detect fetal
chromosomal anomalies at an early stage of pregnancy

A

Chorionic villus sampling

39
Q

The principle which states that a diploid
individual organism possesses two alleles
encoding a trait and that these two alleles
separate in an equal proportion when
gametes are formed

A

Segregation

40
Q

Expresses the likelihood of the
occurrence of a particular event

A

probability

41
Q

The period between mitotic division
cycles

A

interphase

42
Q

The primordial egg cell

A

oogonium

43
Q

The cytological structure on paired
chromosomes with which genetic exchange
(crossing over) is correlated

A

chiasma

44
Q

Pairing of homologous chromosomes
begins in this phase

A

zygotene

45
Q

An organism has a diploid number of 8 in
a primary oocyte.

a. How many tetrads are present in prophase
I?
b. How many dyads are present in prophase
II?
c. How many monads migrate to each pole
during anaphase II?

A

4 TANAN

A tetrad is a group of four chromatids that forms during the prophase I stage of meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over

Dyads are pairs of sister chromatids that form after the separation of homologous chromosomes during the first meiotic division

A monad is a single chromatid that is produced when the sister chromatids of a dyad are separated during the second meiotic division
