1If two events are [blank_start]independent[blank_end] of each other, we use the product rule, and [blank_start]multiply[blank_end] their probabilities.
- Aindependent
- Bmultiply
2What is the probability of getting an AaBbcc offspring from the cross of Aa BB Cc x Aa Bb cc?
- A50%
- B25%
- C12.5%
3If you observed a 2:1 ratio for a gene in offspring, what could you assume?
- AOne allele combination is lethal and so is never observed.
- BOne allele combination never leads to a phenotype.
- COne allele combination is very rare.
4Greater polymorphism in a population can be advantageous for survival and evolution.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
5Choose the incorrect statement about Incomplete Dominance.
- ABoth alleles appear to be expressed equally by all cells, showing an intermediate phenotype which is neither.
- BA cross between two F1 individuals with a blended appearance of alleles will produce offspring in a 1:2:1 ratio, where 50% of the offspring have the phenotype of a blended appearance and the other 50% display single alleles.
- CIt proves the blending inheritance theory.
6Which statement best describes co-dominance?
- ABoth alleles are expressed on the phenotype at the same time.
- BNeither alleles appear to be expressed on the phenotype, but instead an intermediate between them is seen.
7The ABO blood antigen system is a good example of:
- Aincomplete dominance
- Bco-dominance
8Epistasis describes the situation where one gene [blank_start]affects[blank_end] the action of another. Hence, if the gene to produce one enzyme in a [blank_start]metabolic pathway[blank_end] is damaged or ineffective, the next enzyme and gene in the chain may be perfectly [blank_start]function[blank_end] but will never produce an end product because their precursor is dysfunctional. The second gene is said to be under [blank_start]epistatic control[blank_end] of the first.
- Aaffects
- Bmetabolic pathway
- Cfunctional
- Depistatic control
9A phenotype controlled by many genes which have an additive effect is known as a [blank_start]_______[blank_end] trait, and example being [blank_start]______[blank_end].
- Apolymorphic
- Bpolygenic
- Cskin colour, weight, or height etc.
- Deye colour, hair colour, etc.
10What is pleiotropy?
- AOne gene having many phenotypic affects.
- BOne gene affecting many other genes.
- CMany genes affecting the phenotype in a summative way.
Información
- Descripción
- Identify causes of deviations from simple Mendelian ratios. • Discuss how environmental factors may affect phenotype. • Explain how single genes can affect numerous phenotypic traits. • Explain that some phenotypic traits are affected by several loci.
