AP Biology: Unit 3A Homework Chapter 13 Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles 1. Compare and contrast the following terms: asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction 2. What is the role of meiosis in sexual reproduction? 3. What is a karyotype? What can be seen with a karyotype? 4. Draw a diagram or write an explanation of the human life cycle of DNA. Include chromosomes numbers. (pg 251) 5. Compare and contrast the following terms: mitosis and meiosis 6. Explain the following statement: “Meiosis is double division.” 7. Meiosis is an important source of variation. Define and describe how each of the following contributes to variation within a species: independent assortment, random fertilization, crossing over. 8. Draw a pair of homologous chromosomes and indicate a crossing over event and the products. 9. What is the signification of genetic variation and natural selection? Chapter 14 Mendel and the Gene Idea 1. Compare and contrast the following terms: blending hypothesis and particulate hypothesis 2. What are three advantages to using garden peas as a model organism for genetic studies? 3. Define the following terms (a diagram may be used): P, F1, F2, pure, hybrid 4. What is the Law of Segregation and how does it apply to the F1 and F2 generations? 5. When does segregation of alleles occur? 6. Define the following terms: allele, gene, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype 7. What is the purpose of a test cross? 8. When two traits are on different (non-homologous) chromosomes, how are they inherited? 9. What ratio is expected in a dihybrid cross (assume complete dominance)? 10. Use the rules of probability to determine the expected ratio of offspring showing two recessive traits in a trihybrid cross (PpYyRr x PpYyRr). 11. Define the following terms and give an example of each: complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, pleiotropy, epistasis, polygenic 12. List both the phenotype and genotype of all human blood groups and explain how they atr examples of multiple allele inheritance. 13. Complete the following: “The expression of phenotypes is often a result of both …” 14. What is a pedigree analysis? Describe what each symbol means and how a pedigree is constructed. 15. Briefly describe each of the following genetic disorders: cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, sickle cell anemia, achondroplasia, Huntington’s disease 16. How can a parent learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder? Chapter 15 The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance 1. What is the “Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance” and how did it come about? 2. Why was Thomas Hunt Morgan’s choice of the fruit fly a good model organism? 3. Describe Morgan’s first mutant. Why was it so significant from the wild type? 4. Show the P, F1 and F2 generations of a cross between a wild type (homozygous) female and a white-eyed male mutant. 5. What determines sex in humans? Do all organisms share this same sex determination pattern? 6. In what ways are sex-linked traits in humans distinct from autosomal traits? How are they passed on? 7. Why are sex-linked recessive traits more common in human males than females? 8. How many X chromosomes are typically expressed in humans and cats? 9. What happens to X chromosomes that are inactivated? How does the cell know which X chromosome to inactivate? 10. How many Barr bodies would be found in a person with the following genotypes: (a) XXY (b) XO (c) XXX 11. How are linked genes inherited? 12. Describe what genetic recombination is and how it relates to Morgan’s fly experiment. 13. Show the P, F1, and F2 generations of a cross between a homozygous gray bodied, normal winged fly and a double mutant fly. 14. Calculate the recombination frequencies. (a) A female dihybrid fly for body color and wing size is crossed with a male double mutant. They have 391 recombinant offspring and 1909 non-recombinant offspring. (b) A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and normal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings. The offspring have the following phenotypic distributions: wild type, 778; black-vestigial, 785; black-normal, 158; gray vestigial, 162. (c) A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color and red eyes) is mated with a black fruit fly with purple eyes. The offspring are as follows: wild type, 721; blackpurple, 751; gray-purple, 49; black-red, 45. 15. Define the following terms: recombinants, crossing-over, genetic map, linkage map, map units, nondisjunction 16. Determine the sequence of genes along a chromosome based on the following recombination frequencies: A – B, 8 map units; A – C, 28 map units; A – D, 25 map units; B – C, 20 map units; B – D, 33 map units. 17. Define the following terms and indicate when each occurs: aneuploidy, monosomic, trisomic, polyploidy 18. Describe the following types of chromosomal alterations: deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation 19. Describe the genetic basis for the following disorders: Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Trisomy X, Turner syndrome, cri du chat 20. What is genomic imprinting? Briefly describe the Igf2 example. 21. Which organelles have genes and how are they inherited? Chapter 16 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance 1. What are the two components of a chromosome? Which component would be the most likely candidate for the genetic material and why? 2. Describe the experiments done by the following scientists and their conclusions: (a) Griffith (b) Avery (c) Hershey and Chase (d) Chargaff (no exact procedure given) (e) Watson, Crick, Wilkins and Franklin 3. What is transformation? 4. If a species has 35% adenine in its DNA, what are the percents of the other three bases? 5. Describe the basic structure of DNA. Be detailed! Include base pairing. 6.
