Document Summary

Heterozygous: have the same genes and different alleles. = male (this is called the parental generation or p1) (f1 is the familial kids) (f2 would be the familial grandkids) Punnett square: a device used to figure out the f1 generation. The dominant allele is always 1st on the punnett square. Genotype:the genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire complex of traits. In the example above the genotype would be aa, 2/4 aa, and aa. Phenotype: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment. In the example above aa, aa, and aa all look the same. Aa and aa will both be red aa will be white because it is different. These diseases are messed up in the lysosomes and damage the proteins. Example: degenerative disease: lethal autosomal disease that is recessive.

The TATA-binding protein (TBP) binds to the TATA box sequence in eukaryotic promoters. What is its function in transcriptional initiation?

It blocks access of RNA polymerase to the promoter, until removed by general transcription factors.

It is the subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase that is required to recognize promoters.

It modifies histones so nucleosomes can be removed from DNA for transcription.

It bends and partly unwinds DNA at a promoter.

The genetic code is said to be âdegenerateâ because

there are more codons than amino acids.

there are more amino acids than codons.

different organisms use different codons to encode the same amino acid.

some codons specify more than one amino acid.

Three general mechanisms appear to be responsible for the conversion of proto-oncogenes to oncogenes

overexpression, point mutations, deletions

inversions, translocations, methylation

familial, sporatic, phosphorylation

None of the above account for the conversion of proto-oncogenes into oncogenes

Transcriptional control of genes that acts by regulating the continuation of transcription is called

induction

attenuation

antitermination

negative inducible control

The genetic code is fairly consistent among all organisms. The term used to describe this consistency is

The F, G, and H loci are linked in the order written. There are 30 cM between F and G and 30 cM between G and H. If a plant Ff Gg Hh is testcrossed, what proportion of the progeny will be ff gg hh, assuming no interference?

DNA synthesis is always from 5â to 3â because

replication must be continuous

the strands are antiparallel

primers lack 3â to 5â exonuclease activity

In the ZZ-ZW sex-determination system, if an AaBb female was crossed to an individual of genotype Aa Bb, what is the probability of a female offspring with the two dominant traits given by alleles A and B? Assume A and B are dominant alleles.

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
