Question 8 of 19

1

X-inactivation is...

Question 9 of 19

1

If extra X chromosomes are inactivated, why does XXY (Klinefelters) produce a clinical syndrome?

Select one of the following:

Up to 25% of some x-linked genes in humans escape inactivation. This includes the genes within the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the Y chromosomes.
Up to 75% of some x-linked genes in humans escape inactivation. This includes the genes within the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the X and Y chromosomes.
Up to 25% of some x-linked genes in humans escape inactivation. This includes the genes within the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation

1

Few genes are shared by both X and Y because...?

Select one of the following:

Genes that are unique to the X chromosome are X-linked genes.
Genes that are unique to the Y chromosome are Y-linked genes.
Genes found on the sex chromosomes are sex-linked genes.
All are correct.

Explanation

Explanation

Question 18 of 19

1

What is a unique aspect(s) of X-linked inheritance?

Select one of the following:

XY male parents normally cannot pass their X chromosome to male progeny
A male needs to receive only 1 recessive allele to display the recessive phenotype, but females need to receive 2 recessive alleles.
A heterozygous female for an X-linked trait can produce sons who display the recessive phenotype, regardless of her mate's X-chromosome genotype.
X-linked traits often deviate from Mendelian ratios
All are correct.
