Document Summary

Rryy: how independent assortment creates 4 parent different products of meiosis from a dihybrid. Independent assortment: alleles of the genes that govern two characters segregate independently during formation of gametes says that allele for shape (r,r) has no influence on which allele the gamete receives for color (y,y) 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36: e. g. probability of having four girls in a row. Sum rule in probability: applies when several different events all give the same outcomes: the probability that event a or event b or event c will occur equals the probability of event. A plus the probability of event b plus the probability of event c: e. g. likelihood of rolling a 7 in any combination. Lecture outcomes: mechanisms that are, or are not, random with respect to generation of genetic diversity. Are not random: mutations, recombination: more likely to occur near the end of a chromosome.

Which of these statements is incorrect?

Syntenic genes are located on the same chromosome.

Independent assortment results in recombinant chromosomes.

You can reliably predict the relative genetic distance fromgenesâ physical distance on a chromosome.

Linked genes are always syntenic.

What is the relative genetic distance between two linked genesif the recombination frequency is 0.49?

0.49 cM

4.9 cM

49 cM

490 cM

What statement best explains the distortion in Mendelian ratiosobserved by Bateson & Punnett in 1905? (Reminder: they found anoverrepresentation of F2 offspring showing both dominant orrecessive phenotypes, and an underrepresentation of offspringdisplaying one dominant and one recessive phenotype)

Human error: they should have been more careful about theirexperimental setup.

Gene linkage: Genes for flower color and pollen shape arephysically close on the same chromosome, leading to a breakdown inthe independent assortment of the alleles for these traits.

Chromosome crossover: Homologous recombination of twochromatids during meiosis caused the alleles to shuffle, resultingin a breakdown of the independent assortment of the alleles forthose genes.

Random variation: No two situations are alike. In finitepopulations, you are going to get some variation across a mean.

When determining the relative genetic distance between twogenes, why is dihybrid back-cross preferable over traditionaldihybrid cross?

9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio is easier to work with than 1:1:1:1ratio.

Genotypes of the offspring can be determined based on theirphenotype.

If the genes are independently assorted, the dihybrid back-crosswould result in only 2 genotypes in the F1 generation.

B and C

Why do we map genes?

To understand how genes interact with each other

Comparative genomics analysis

To determine the genotype of an organism

All of the above

A(n) _________ is one of multiple forms of the same gene.

These different forms of genes are in the same locus of a(n)_________, but they have slightly different sequences of________.

During ________ I of meiosis, genes of homologous chromosomesalign side-by-side.

Then in a process called _________, homologous chromosomesrandomly line up double-file at the center of the cell and thenseperate. Since alleles are randomly distributed, this processcreates variation among the gametes. After ________ with a gametefrom the other sex, variation among gametes will create variationamong the offspring.

Some offspring will have a more favorable combination of allelesthan others, and will therefore survive and ________ moresuccessfully, leading to more favorable alleles in the nextgeneration. However, sometimes conditions change, andonce-favorable phenotypes may becomes less favorable.

Scientists hope that they will soon be able to use biotechnologyto track the ________ of alleles over multiple generations, therebywatching evolution as it occurs.

b.	by many genes with an additive effect.

c.	by epistatic interactions between two genes.

d.	mainly by the environment, with only a small genetic component.

2. In humans, red-green colorblindness is inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait. In order for a woman to be red-green colorblind, which of the following statements must be true.

a.	Her mother must be red-green colorblind.

b.	All of her brothers must be red-green colorblind.

c.	Her father must be red-green colorblind.

d.	All of the above statements must be true if a woman is red-green colorblind.

3. The x-ray crystallography data collected by Rosalind Franklin suggested to Watson and Crick that the:

a.	structure of DNA is a double helix.

b.	two strands of the DNA molecule are joined by hydrogen bonds between the bases.

c.	four bases within DNA pair in a specific way.

d.	two strands of the DNA molecule are joined by covalent bonds between the bases.

4. In the genetic code, _________ one amino acid.

a.	one nucleotide specifies

b.	two nucleotides specify

c.	three nucleotides specify

d.	four nucleotides specify

5. During Meiosis I, a homologous pair of chromosomes may not separate, resulting in daughter cells that have extra chromosomes or are missing chromosomes. This can lead to genetic disorders, including Down Syndrome. This phenomenon is called:

a.	independent assortment.

b.	nondisjunction.

c.	segregation.

d.	crossing over.

6. You are a human geneticist studying the incidence of retinitis pigmentosa in the residents of Tristan de Cunha, a group of small islands in the middle of the southern Atlantic Ocean. The allele for retinitis pigmentosa, which causes a form of blindness, is inherited as an autosomal recessive. You have determined that the frequency of this allele (r) in the population is 0.4 (40%). Using the principles of the Hardy-Weinberg rule, you would estimate the frequency of individuals who are heterozygous for this allele (Rr) in the population to be:

a.	0.16 (16%)

b.	0.24 (24%)

c.	0.36 (36%)

d.	0.48 (48%)

7. Natural selection acts at the level of the:

gene.

c.	population.

d.	nucleotide.

8. You are working with pea plants, trying to recreate the experiments that Mendel performed.

b.	four bases all occur in an equal frequency (25%) within each organism.

c.	percentage of A nucleotides = the percentage of G nucleotides, and the percentage of C nucleotides = the percentage of T nucleotides.

d.	genetic material is composed of proteins, not DNA.
