1-Genetics Problems page 1 of 4 1. A sexually reproducing organism is heterozygous for two genes located on different chromosomes, one for ear shape and one for toe length. Its genotype is AaBb. Which of the following genotypes is most probable in a gamete from this organism? a. AB b. AaBb c. Aa d. Bb e. A 2. Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is a human disorder that causes gradual deterioration of the muscles. It is seen only in boys born to apparently normal parents and usually results in death in the early teens. It is likely that this gene is ______ and ______. a. b. c. d. e. recessive; sex-linked dominant; sex-linked recessive; autosomal (not sex-linked) codominant; sex-linked incompletely dominant; autosomal (not sex-linked) 3. Assuming independent assortment for all gene pairs, what is the probability that the following parents, AABbCc X AaBbCc will produce an AaBbCc offspring? a. b. c. d. e. 1/2 1/16 1/8 3/4 9/16 4. A sexually reproducing organism is heterozygous for two genes located on different chromosomes, one for ear shape and one for toe length. Its genotype is AaBb. Which of the following genotypes is most probable in a gamete from this organism? a. b. c. d. e. AB AaBb Aa Bb A 5. Two mice are heterozygous for albinism (Aa). The dominant allele (A) codes for normal pigmentation, and the recessive allele (a) codes for no pigmentation. What percentage of their offspring will show albinism? a. 25 percent b. 50 percent c. 75 percent d. 100 percent BIO152H 2006 University of Toronto at Mississauga 1-Genetics Problems page 2 of 4 6. Which of the following is due to the principle of segregation? a. Each gamete has an equal chance of getting either allele for a gene. b. Each gamete formed in an organism will have one copy of each gene. c. Half of the gametes produced by an individual that is AaBb will be AB. d. Each gamete formed in an organism has two copies of each gene. 7. If the first five seeds (offspring) grown from a cross between two heterozygous parent peas with the genotype Rr are all round, what is the probability that the next offspring will be wrinkled? a. 0% b. 100% c. 25% d. Cannot determine from the information given 8. In a cross between peas heterozygous for two traits , the probability of the offspring exhibiting both recessive traits is 1/16. What is the probability of exhibiting recessive traits when both parents are heterozygous for three traits? a. 1/4 b. 1/16 c. 1/64 d. 27/64 9. If an organism is heterozygous for two traits that are linked, how many genotypes are possible in the gametes produced from a single germ-line cell? Assume that no crossing over occurs. a. 1 b. 2 c. 4 d. 8 10. What is the fundamental difference between mitosis and meiosis? a. Mitosis involves two cell divisions; meiosis has only one. b. The number of chromosomes doubles in meiosis; the number stays the same in mitosis. c. The amount of DNA is reduced by half in meiosis, but remains the same in mitosis d. Meiosis occurs in prokaryotes; mitosis occurs in eukaryotes. 11. A species has six pairs of chromosomes. How many molecules of DNA do the nuclei have during G2 phase? a. 6 b. 12 c. 24 d. 48 BIO152H 2006 University of Toronto at Mississauga 1-Genetics Problems page 3 of 4 12.

Although the partitioning of chromosomes is visible during mitosis and meiosis with the aid of the light microscope, DNA replication is not. Why? a. Chromosomes only form during mitosis or meiosis. b. Chromosomes are only visible after DNA has been duplicated. c. Chromosomes are too extended during S phase to be seen by light microscopy. 14. Which of the following occurs during meiosis II, but not during meiosis I? a. Crossing over between homologous chromosomes. b. Separation of homologous chromosomes. c. Separation of sister chromatids. d. Chromosome migration to the poles. 15. Robert’s father has brown eyes & brown hair; his mother has blue eyes & blonde hair.
