I create a knockout mouseusing the agouti/black fur system \. When I cross the agoutioffspring of the originally engineered mouse, I find a ratio of 2agouti mice to 1 black furred mouse. What is the bestexplanation?
Answer not sure which one?!
· The gene knocked out was recessive. | ||
· The gene knocked out was dominant. | ||
· The gene knocked out was a lethalgene. | ||
· The knockput was integrated into a random spot,and did not knockput the original gene. |

Anticipation is caused by amutation that increases in expressivity over subsequentgenerations. Answer · True · False Question 44 I have a genotype that shouldproduce a specific phenotype, but some of the individuals with thegenotype do not demonstrate any evidence of the phenotype.

A mosaic is an organismwith
Answer
· multiple genotypes within one organism | ||
· multiple alleles within one genotype | ||
· more than one color of fur | ||
· transgenes added to the zygote beforedevelopement | ||
· a wt phenotype but a mutated genotype |
Question
Genotype causesphenotype.
Answer
· No, gentoype just influences phenotype. | ||
· Yes, genotype is the DNA sequence that createsphenotype. |

Question
A couple goes on MauryPovitch, and the results are in: you are not the father. But noother man impregnated the female (granted, unlikely for a MauryPovitch guest, but work with me here) and he must be the father.DNA analysis claims otherwise, though the child definitely wasmom's (poor thing). What may be going on here?
Answer
· the child is parthenogenic because the motheractually impregnated herself like a shark, and the child's DNA isall mom's | ||
· the child had a mutation that changed the genethat is used to trace paternity | ||
· the child is a mosaic because he is actually a setof twins fused early during fetal development, and therefore camefrom 2 eggs and 2 sperm | ||
· the dad may have germ-line mosaicism, meaning thatthe genotype of his sperm is different from his somaticgenotype | ||
· mitochondrial DNA only comes from mom, so there isno way to tell whobthe baby's father is |
