UNIT 6 Test Review 1. Explain how Mendel’s original theory of inheritance differs from the more realistic explanation that modern science has developed. Mendel explained that two genes or alleles are inherited for the trait (one from mom and one from dad) and the dominant allele will always be expressed over the recessive trait. If an organism contains two recessive alleles, then the recessive allele will be expressed. In reality, genetics and inheritance are much more complicated than that. Co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex linked inheritance, multiple allele inheritance, and polygenic inheritance are all inheritance patterns that do not follow Mendel’s theory. 2. Explain the difference between dominant and recessive. What do scientists use to show dominant and recessive traits? Is recessive always the “bad” trait? Dominant traits are more likely to be expressed and are shown using a capital letter. Recessive traits are only expressed if there is not dominant and is shown using a lower case letter. Recessive traits are not always bad if the allele benefits the organism in it’s environment. 3. Explain the difference between a phenotype and a genotype. Give examples. A phenotype is the genes that are expressed or the way an organism looks. A genotype is the genes or alleles an organism actually has. Phenotype could be brown eyes and the organism’s genotype could be Aa. Brown eyes are expressed which is the dominant trait but the organism contains a recessive allele that is not being expressed (a). 4. Explain the difference between heterozygous and homozygous. Give examples. A heterozygous organism contains two different alleles for the same trait. Aa. A Homozygous organism contains two of the same alleles for the same trait. AA or aa. 5. What is the difference between autosomes and allosomes? Autosomes are chromosomes numbered 1-22 in humans and control the physical characteristics of an organism. Height, eye color, skin are all examples of traits that autosomes control. Allosomes control the gender of an organism and are the last chromosomes in an organism’s karyotype. XX or XY. 6. Explain the difference between incomplete dominance and co-dominance. Provide examples. Incomplete dominance occurs when it appears as though the two genes mix to form an intermediate allele between the dominant and recessive allele. White rose + Red rose = pink rose. 7. Cross F1 x F1. Y- yellow pea pods, y- green pea pods P F1 F2 YY x yy Yy YY x yy Yy YY Yy Yy yy ? 8. Color blindness is a recessive sex linked disorder. If Charlie is normal (XBY) for color blindness but his wife Lynsey is a carrier (XBXb) for color blindness, what is the probability that their children will be color blind? XBXB XBY XBXb XbY 9. Fill in the appropriate genotypes for the possible gametes that each of the parents will likely produce and the resultant genotypes that each of the children will likely receive. SY Sy sY sy SY SSYY SSYy SsYY SsYy Sy SSYy SSyy SsYy Ssyy sY SsYY SsYy ssYY ssYy sy SsYy Ssyy ssYy ssyy 10. If a man has type Ai blood and his wife has type Ai, what is the probability of their offspring having type A? 75% AA Ai Ai ii 11. If a Black Mouse that is homozygous for coat color BB is crossed with a White Mouse that is homozygous for coat color bb all of the F1 generation will have black coats. Use the punnett square on the right to predict what would happen if two organisms from the F1 generation were crossed? B- Black coat color, bwhite coat color P F1 F2 BB x bb Bb BB x bb Bb ? BB Bb Bb bb 12. Eye color in flies is a sex-linked trait. Use the picture below to answer the following questions. Are white eyes determined by the X or the Y chromosome? X Chromosome Is it possible for two red eyed flies to produce a white eyed offspring? Which parent can be a carrier? Yes. There is a possibility that the female can carry the gene but may not express it. It is impossible for a male to contain the gene and not express it. Karyotypes & Pedigrees 13. Examine the two karyotypes below. How many chromosomes do humans have? How many pairs of chromosomes do humans have? Explain how these karyotypes differ. The karyotypes below are depictions of the chromosome sets that organisms contain. Each pair of chromosomes contains information for the same traits but different information for the traits. Every human contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. The karyotype on the left is a normal male karyotype while the karyotype on the right contains an extra chromosome at the 21st location. The individual is a female and is likely exhibiting down syndrome. 14. What does nondisjunction look like on a karyotype? Non-disjunction is exemplified by a karyotype that contains too few or too many chromosomes. These atypical chromosome sets will often appear at the 14th, 21st, or 23rd chromosomes. 15. How does mitotic cell division differ from the cell division that occurs during meiosis? Mitosis differs from meiosis in that mitosis produces two identical diploid daughter cells while meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells. Cells undergoing meiosis divide twice while cells undergoing mitotic division only divide once. 16. Explain the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell and then draw a picture of each cell type in the table below. Use the function row to describe how organisms use each cell type. Haploid Cell Diploid Cell Description Contains only half of the number of chromosomes as the organism’s somatic cells Contains a full set of 2N chromosomes Function Used in sexual reproduction. Not viable unless the cell goes through fertilization with another haploid cell. Standard body cell or a cell getting ready to go through meiosis II to create two sex cells. Picture 17. The diagram below represents evidence from a crime scene collected and analyzed by forensic scientists. There were three primary suspects implicated in the case but the DNA indicates that one of the three was clearly at the scene. How can you identify which of the three suspects was present at the scene? The DNA sample from the crime scene contains the same genetic material in the same pattern as suspect #2. The dark bands indicate the presence of a nitrogenous base and the genetic information pulled from suspect #2 contains the same nitrogenous bases at all the same locations as the DNA left at the crime scene. 18. Using the pedigree presence of the might affect future appear in males which located on the sex two individuals that did chart below, explain trends in the condition and how this condition generations. The conditions only to suggests that the disease may be chromosomes. We can also see that not exhibit the disease passed the disease along to their child which suggests that the disease is a recessive condition.
