Question
Answer
Two parents have the genotype Gg for a genetic disorder caused by a dominant allele. What is the chance that any of their children will inherit the disorder?   75%  
🗑
The gene linkage map shown in Figure 7.2 shows the order of genes A. B. and C. Which of the following statements about the genes is true?   The distance between A and B is 14.5 map units  
🗑
Thomas Morgan's research with fruit flies determined that   traits sometimes are inherited as a group  
🗑
Two genes cross over 6% of the time. This percentage means that the genes are   not inherited together in 6 out of 100 offspring  
🗑
A female is born with attached earlobes which is a recessive phenotype. Which of the following genotypes could her parents have?   Rr and rr  
🗑
Suppose a person is a carrier for a genetic disorder. Which of the following phrases about this person is true?   does not have the disorder but can pass it on  
🗑
Some members of a family have a recessive sex-linked disorder. Which of the following statements about the family would be true?   only females would be carriers  
🗑
The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called   heredity  
🗑
The "father" of genetics was   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
If an individual possesses two recessive alleles for the same trait, the individual is said to be   homozygous for the trait  
🗑
What is the expected phenotypic ratio resulting from a homozygous dominant x heterozygous monohybrid cross?   1:0  
🗑
A diagram in which several generations of a family and the occurrence of certain genetic characteristics are shown is called a   pedigree  
🗑
In humans, eye color and height are controlled by   polygenic inheritance  
🗑
Which of the following traits is controlled by multiple alleles in humans?   blood type  
🗑
A trait that is determined by a gene that is only found on the X chromosome is said to be   sex linked  
🗑
A person who is heterozygous for a recessive genetic disorder is called a(n)   carrier  
🗑
Identifying patterns of inheritance within a family over several generations is possible by studying a diagram called a(n)   pedigree  
🗑
Inheritance in which two dominant alleles are expressed at the same time is called   codominance  
🗑
A person who has a disorder caused by a recessive allele is   homozygous with a recessive allele  
🗑
Gene expression is influenced in many factors ~   environment  
🗑
*PUNNENT SQUARE* which of the following has the disorder?   homozygous recessive  
🗑
For an XX female to express a recessive sex-linked trait, she must have   2 recessive alleles  
🗑
Human height occurs in a continuous range because it is effected by several genes making it   polygenic  
🗑
Suppose a mouse with black fur & no coloration   the mouse is all white  
🗑
What is the main reason that sex linked disorders are most often observed in males?   the Y can not mask alleles on the X  
🗑
Which of the following tools is used to match up chromosome using chemical stains?   karyotype  
🗑
Probability is calculated by dividing of 1 possible outcome   the total number of possible outcomes  
🗑
A phenomenon in which a heterozygous individual- intermediate   incomplete dominance  
🗑
A change is an organisms _______ can cause a change in an organisms gene   environment  
🗑
A character for which there are 3 or more alleles is called   multiple alleles  
🗑


   

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.
