Document Summary

Almost none of the genes in the x chromosome share regions of homology in the. 1000 genes on x, 50 genes on y. Meiosis in females result in x-bearing eggs only. Meiosis in males result in a 1:1 ratio of x-bearing and y-bearing sperm. Random fertilization results in an expected ratio of 1:1, males:females. Most genes in the x chromosome have no counterparts in the y chromosome. Recessive mutation in an x-linked gene is expressed in males. A male with an x-linked recessive trait will have heterozygous (carrier) daughters and. Crisscross: affected males carrier females affected males normal sons. The descendants from a carrier female have half of the daughters are expected carriers and half the sons are to be affected. If carrier and affected male cross then affected female can occur. Results in each egg containing a single x chromosome.

1. Question: Whatphenotypes and ratios did you observe in the F₁generation?

2. Question: Based onwhat you know about Mendelian genetics, did the F₂generation demonstrate the phenotypic ratio that you expected? Ifnot, what phenotypic ratio was obtained with this cross, andwhy?

3. Question:Describe the phenotypes obtained in theF₂ generation. Examine the phenotypes and sexes of eachfly. Is there a sex and phenotype combination that is absent orunderrepresented? If so, which one? What does this result tell youabout the sex chromosome location of the white eye allele?(HINT: When analyzing the crossresults, remember that Y-linked traits are passed down only fromaffected males to their sons. Females are unaffected by Y-linkedtraits since they do not have Y chromosomes. On the other hand, both males and females can inheritX-linked traits since they both have X chromosomes.)

b. an abnormality in which the chromosomes are translocated out of the nucleus
c. a condition in which the chromosome has broken in two places and come back together with the middle segment backward
d. an abnormality in which there is an extra copy of one chromosome
___ 4. In snapdragons, a red-flowered plant crossed with a white-flowered plant produces all pink-flowered offspring. But crossing two pink-flowered plants produces red, pink, and white in a 1:2:1 ratio. This is a good example of
a. Incomplete dominance
b. Dominance of the red allele over the white allele
c. Lethal effects of the pink allele
d. Sex-linkage of the flower-color alleles
___ 5. If a person with type AB blood marries a person with Type O blood, what blood types are possible in their children? (Assume this trait is a single-gene trait, not complicated by interaction with other genes).
a. A, B, AB, or O
b. A or B only
c. AB or O only
d. AB only 2

___7. What is the phenotype of a heterozygous tall pea plant? a. tall b. Tt c. TT d. tt e. dominant
___ 8. If genes A and B are far apart on a chromosome, and A and C are close together, which of the following observations is expected?
a. Crossing over will occur more often between A and C than between A and B
b. Crossing over will occur at equal frequencies between A and C, and between A and B
c. Crossing over will occur more often between A and B than between A and C
___9. Sometimes an organismâs genotype for one gene masks the effect of a different gene. This phenomenon is called
a. Dominance
b. Incomplete dominance
c. Co-dominance
d. Epistasis
e. Variable expressivity
___10. The dominant allele of a gene is
a. The one that is expressed most often in a population
b. The one that is expressed most often in any particular cross
c. The one that is expressed in an individual that has two different alleles
d. The one that is most healthy to have, that gives the greatest fitness
___11. In human cells, DNA replication occurs
a. In S phase of interphase
b. In G1 phase of interphase
c. In G2 phase of interphase
d. In prophase of mitosis
e. Whenever the cell needs to read the DNA to make proteins
___ 12. A process in which recipient cells take up genes from DNA molecules floating free in the surrounding medium is called
a. conjugation
b. specialized transduction
c. generalized transduction
d. transformation 3
___ 13. Most calico cats are female. However, a few rare males are observed. What is the genotype of a male calico cat?
a. X BX 0
b. X OY
c. X BY
d. X BYY
e. X BX OY
___ 14. A type of red-green color-blindness is a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive trait in humans. Can a woman have this type of color-blindness?
a. Yes, a woman could be color-blind if her mother and father were both heterozygous.
b. Yes, a woman could be color-blind but only if she has an abnormal number of sex chromosomes.
c. No, women can't show sex-linked traits because they lack a Y chromosome.
d. No, women can't show sex-linked traits because they have two X chromosomes.
e. Yes, a woman could be color-blind if her father was color-blind and her mother was a carrier (heterozygous).

1. If you had a fruitfly with phenotype A, what test would you make to determine if it was Aa or AA? Explain the different outcomes expected if the fly in question is AA or Aa.

2.The sex of birds, some insects, and other organisms is determined by a ZW chromosomal arrangement in which the males have like sex chromosomes (ZZ) and females are ZW (similar to XY in humans). Assume that a recessive lethal allele on the Z chromosome causes death of an embryo in birds. What sex ratio would result in the offspring if a cross were made between a male heterozygous for the lethal allele and a normal female?

3.A recessive gene for red-green color blindness is located on the X chromosome in humans. Assume that a woman with normal vision (her father is color-blind) marries a color-blind male. What is the likelihood that this couple's first son will be color-blind?

4. One form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Assume that a man with hemophilia marries a phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia. What is the probability that they will have a daughter with hemophilia? (Note: In this problem, you must include the probability of having a daughter in your computation of the final probability.)

5. One form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Assume that a man with hemophilia marries a phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia. What is the probability that their first son will have hemophilia?
