QUESTION 6 For a trait known to be caused by a mitochondrial gene variant, there may be an occasional female that can transmit different phenotypes to her progeny on an apparently random basis. What situation might you sSuspect? O She is heterozygous for this trait. O She displays heteroplasmy for this trait. She displays a low rate of mutation. O She is the product of a somatic mutation.

Question 15: Consider the consequence if one of the mutations you tested for complementation was a dominant mutation. You should see that complementation tests could not be used to provide information about dominant mutations. a) If a mutation were dominant how would your interpretation of the phenotype of the diploid be altered? No change would occur wit b) How would you test whether any of these trp mutations were dominant? There is no way to test for

The incomplete dominant phenotype is light tan. If a heterozygous female is crossed with heterozygous male, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the progeny? A) 1 dark brown: 2 light brown: 1 white. B) 3 dark brown: 1 white C). all dark brown D) all light tan E) cannot be determined CS Scanned with CamScanner
QUESTION 6 Assume that a researcher is studying coat color in voles. Three strains of white vole have been isolated: milky, blanc, and weiss. White is a recessive trait in each strain. Homozygous white voles are obtained for each strain. Consider the following crosses: milky X weiss = all white progeny (mutant) milky X blanc = all brown (wild-type vole color) blanc X weiss = all brown (wild-type vole color) The conclusion most consistent with these results is O A all three strains have mutations in the same gene. O B. all three strains have mutations in different genes. OC. milky and blanc have mutations on the same gene, weiss has a mutation in a different gene. D. milky and weiss have mutations on the same gene, blanc has a mutation in a different gene. O E. weiss and blanc have mutations on the same gene, milky has a mutation in a different gene.

QUESTION 3 Linkage disequilibrium is defined by which of the following? O Positions in the genome where people vary by a single nucleotide base O The occurrence of two alleles in the repulsion configuration O The probability that two genes are linked O Crossing over that occurs between two genes that are located close to each other O The nonrandom association between alleles in a haplotype QUESTION 4 Red-green color blindness is a human recessive X-linked disorder. A young man with a 47, XXY karyotype (Klinefelter syndrome) is colorblind. His mother and father have normal color vision, but his mother has a father who is colorblind Did the nondisjunction event that gave rise to the young man with Klinefelter syndrome happen in the mother, the father or is it impossible to tell (assume that no crossing over took place in prophase I of meiosis)? a. Mother b. Father c. Impossible to tell Did this nondisjunction happen during Meiosis I, Meiosis II, or is it impossible to tell? a. Meiosis I…

What is the penetrance of this trait? i.e., What is the ratio between the number of individuals in the pedigree who display the trait (numerator) and the number of individuals you know from the pedigree must have the trait-determining genotype (denominator)? Enter your answer in the form of a fraction without any spaces. e.g., If your answer is “one-fourth”, enter: 1/4
QUESTION 3 In Drosophila, miniature wings (X) result from an X-linked allele that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X). Give the most likely genotypes of the parents in each of the following crosses: Male Parent Female Parent Cross #1 Cross #2 Long Miniature Genotype for male parent #1: Genotype for female parent #1: Genotype for male parent #2: Genotype for female parent #2: Long Long Male Offspring 231 Long 250 Miniature 420 long 417 Miniature Female Offspring 560 Long 0 Miniature 412 Long 415 Miniature Use Xm and X+ for the allele symbols in your answers as there is not a superscript option. Also, remember that males are hemizygous!
