HPsych-Chapter2:Gene

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
number of chromosomes in humans   23  
🗑
percent related to either parent or any sibling   50%  
🗑
homozygote dominant/recessive cross results   all heterozygotes  
🗑
heterozygote and homozygote recessive cross results   1/2 homozygote recessive, 1/2 heterozygote  
🗑
two heterozygotes cross   1/2 heterozygotes, 1/4 homozygous recessive, 1/4 homozygous dominant  
🗑
components of gene transmission   dominant and recessive and any complications to simple dominance  
🗑
complications to simple dominance   multiple gene effects, sex linkage, codominance, parental coding, crossing over, and x-deactivation  
🗑
example of multiple gene effects   partial albino gene at a different chromosome affects hamster coat color (if recessive, they get a normal color. if not, albino trumps the color coded on the other chromosome)  
🗑
examples of sex linkage   hemophilia (skips a generation when manifesting), color blindness-- usually affects males more frequently  
🗑
codominance   two dominant genes can produce their effects together (Ex. the ABO blood typing system-- A and B are both dominant)  
🗑
parental coding   gene expression is affected by which parent you got it from  
🗑
crossing over   homologous pairs exchange parts of chromosomes to create new genetic combinations  
🗑
x-deactivation   one X chromosome turns off in different cells during development of females to rectify the unbalance between males (XY) and females (XX) (Ex. calico cats)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
