2. The following chart shows the crossover frequencies for genes on an autosome of the Armor Plated Squirtlesaur. Construct a chromosome map. Frequency of Crossover 596 Gene P-Q p-R 8% 12% 13% 17% P-S Q-R 0-S

Which of the following situations does not follow the Law of Independent Assortment? A blond man and a brunette woman produce three offspring over time, all of who have blond hair A white cow crossed with a brown bull produces roan cattle Mating a hog with a sow produces six female piglets Men are more likely to experience hemophilia than women.

Discuss Concepts One of the human chromosome pairs carries a gene that influences eye color. In an individual human, one chromosome of this pair has an allele of this gene that contributes to the formation of blue eyes. The other chromosome of the pair has an allele that contributes to brown eye color (other genes also influence eye color in humans). After meiosis in the cells of this individual, what fraction of the nuclei will carry the allele that contributes to blue eyes? To brown eyes?

Why is it more efficient to perform a test cross with a homozygous recessive donor than a homozygous dominant donor? How could the same information still he found with a homozygous dominant donor?

Equalizing the Expression of X Chromosome Genes in Males and Females Individuals with an XXY genotype are sterile males. If one X is inactivated early in embryogenesis, the genotype of the individual effectively becomes XY. Why will this individual not develop as a normal male?

Assume a pericentric inversion occurred in one of two homologs prior to meiosis. The other homolog remains normal. During meiosis, what structure—it any—would these homologs assume in order to pair accurately along their lengths? V formation cruciform loop pairing would not be possible

Choose the statement that is incorrect. a. A son can inherit a recessive allele on an X chromosome from either parent. b. An individual may inherit three or more of each type of chromosome characteristic or the species, a condition called polyploidy. c. A female child inherits one X chromosome from her mother and one from her father. d. Pedigree analysis can be used to determine a future childs chance of being born with achcondroplasia.

In chickens, feathered legs are produced by a dominant allele F. Another allele f of the same gene produces featherless legs. The dominant allele P of a gene at a different locus produces pea combs; a recessive allele p of this gene causes single combs. A breeder makes the following crosses with birds 1, 2, 3, and 4; all parents have both feathered legs and pea combs: Cross Offspring 12 All feathered, pea comb 13 3/4 feathered; 1/4 featherless, all pea comb 14 9/16 feathered, pea comb; 3/16 featherless, pea comb 3/16 feathered, single comb; 1/16 featherless, single comb What are the genotypes of the four birds?

The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IAlB, and IAalleles. The allele encodes the A blood group antigen, lBencodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (IAIB) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: multiple alleles and incomplete dominance codominance and incomplete dominance incomplete dominance only multiple alleles and codominance

Which of the following statements about eukaryotic chromosomes is false? (a) eukaryotic chromosomes have free ends (b) telomeres contain protein-coding genes (c) telomerase lengthens telomeric DNA (d) telomere shortening may contribute to cell aging (e) cells with active telomerase may undergo many cell divisions
