If you have a mutation in your skin cells from falling asleep in a tanning bed, how will this affect your offspring? Question 10 options: It will affect their entire body because their entire body grew out of the fertilized egg It may affect them, depending on whether those particular skin cells are passed on to them It will affect your offspring's skin cells only It won't affect them because the mutation is not in a gamete It won't affect them because mutations cannot be passed down to offspring
A mutation occurs in one of your lung cells. Which of the following is most likely true? Group of answer choices You will not be better adapted to your environment but your children will be. You will be sterile and no longer be able to have children. You will soon die because most mutations are lethal. This mutation does not affect human evolution.
In man, muscular dystrophy is a condition in which the muscles waste away during early life and may result in a shorter life expectancy. It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?
Which of the following statements accurately describes genetic mutations? * Mutations are a natural process that increases genetic diversity. Mutations are an unnatural process that always affect the phenotype. Mutations are an unnatural process that are always harmful. Mutations are a natural process that only effects genotype, not phenotype.
Do mutations in body cells contribute to genetic variation? No, the causes of body cell mutations are outside the body and cannot alter DNA. Yes, these body cell mutations lead to mutations in the gametes. No, the mutations cannot be passed to offspring and only affect the individual. Yes, the mutations can be passed on to offspring and contribute to variation in the population.
Which of the following defines a genotype? The particular set of alleles that is carried in an individual’s chromosomes A part of a chromosome that encodes an RNA or protein product in its DNA sequence Forms of a gene with slightly different DNA sequences that may encode slightly different versions of the gene’s product An individual’s observable traits
A gene locus is ____. a dominant gene the location of a gene on a chromosome a sex chromosome an unmatched allele a recessive gene

Nancy Jones is a doctor who specializes in genetic diseases. For many years she has been studying populations of people who have Huntington’s disease. Dr. Jones has a special interest in Huntington’s disease because her mother died of this disease after many years living in a wheelchair. Dr. Jones’s father does not appear to have the disease. She has developed a test that can detect the dominant Huntington’s gene before symptoms appear and she has performed this test on many people. This test involves mapping a person’s genome to determine if the dominant Huntington’s gene is present. Dr. Jones is unsure if she should take the test herself as it will not prevent the disease from developing, only give the person advanced warning of the disease. Nancy Jones has a sister. Draw a pedigree chart that maps the disease through this family. Make sure to indicate those family members that have the disease, those that do not have the disease and those whose status is unknown. If you were Nancy…
