Mendelian Genetics Jan 96,39 Use the following information to answer the next four questions The human nose can distinguish up to 10,000 different odours. Airborne odour molecules are trapped by ciliated olfactory receptors. These receptors initiate impulses to the olfactory bulbs, which relay the signals to the temporal lobe of the cerebrum for interpretation. Recently, researchers Linda Buck and Richard Axel of Columbia University have been able to identify some odour-receptor proteins on the nasal cells of rats. These receptor proteins, embedded in the cell membranes of ciliated neurons, are thought to bind with specific odour molecules, initiating a nerve impulse. The researchers have also found the genes responsible for the production of more than 100 types of odour-receptor proteins. 1. Olfactory receptors are categorized as A. B. C. D. mechanical receptors that are attached to the dendrites of neurons mechanical receptors that are attached to the axons of neurons chemoreceptors that form a synapse with the dendrites of neurons chemoreceptors that form a synapse with the axons of neurons Jan 96,40 2. Airborne molecules are thought to bind to odour-receptor proteins. These odour-receptor proteins initiate the smelling process by A. B. C. D. breaking down a neurotransmitter within the membrane of the neuron making the membrane of the neuron more permeable to Na + ions changing the threshold of the membrane of the neuron causing the neuron to be polarized Jan 96,41 3. The ability to smell some odours and not others is an inherited trait. This trait is an example of A. B. C. D. incomplete dominance crossing over a phenotype a genotype Jan 96,42 4. If a gene responsible for the production of an odour-receptor protein underwent a mutation, one result might be A. B. C. D. a decrease in the ability to smell a specific odour an increase in the ability to smell a variety of other odours a decrease in protein synthesis within all olfactory neurons an increase in threshold levels of stimulation for receptor neurons Jan 96,43 Use the following information to answer the next two questions Some researchers are investigating the hypothesis that feeding cow’s milk to children less than nine months old could play a role in the development of type I (juvenile) diabetes mellitus in those genetically prone to the disease. A child who has inherited certain genes synthesizes antibodies in response to a particular fragment of a protein found in cow’s milk. These antibodies attack the milk-protein fragment and some of the child’s cells. After a child reaches the age of nine months, the immune system develops sufficiently to distinguish between the milk-protein fragment and the child’s cells. 5. If a child who is genetically prone to juvenile diabetes has consumed cow’s milk, it is likely that the child’s blood contains antibodies that attack the A. B. C. D. sensory cells of the hypothalamus glycogen storage cells of the liver secretory cells of the thyroid islet cells of the pancreas Jan 96,44 6. A correct inference is that the antibodies produced in response to cow’s milk are A. B. C. D. nucleic acids containing a sequence of amino acids nucleic acids containing a sequence of nucleotides proteins containing a sequence of amino acids proteins containing a sequence of nucleotides Jan 96,45 Use the following information to answer the next three questions The Romanovs, the Russian royal family, were shot dead during the Russian Revolution in 1918. The family included Czar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra; their daughters, Olga, Maria, Tatiana, and Anastasia; and their son Alexis, who was a hemophiliac. In 1992, scientists in Russia started work on the identification of skeletons thought to be the remains of the Czar, his wife, and three of their daughters. The researchers crushed and partially dissolved some bones to extract DNA. To determine which skeletons belonged to the Romanovs, the researchers analyzed samples of mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is passed on only from mother to child. Some parts of mitochondrial DNA are very stable and mutate only once every 6,000 years. The researchers also obtained a sample of mitochondrial DNA from Prince Philip of England. His maternal grandmother was Alexandra’s sister. 7. Which observation correctly accounts for the fact that mitochondrial DNA is passed on only from mother to child? A. B. C. D. eggs contain mitochondria and sperm do not mitochondrial DNA is transcribed from a template on the XY chromosome set mitochondrial DNA is transcribed from a template on the XX chromosome set an egg contributes both its nucleus and its cytoplasm to a zygote, while a sperm contributes only its nucleus Jan 96,46 8.

Prince Philip, Czar Nicholas II, and Alexandra Alexis, Prince Philip and Czar Nicholas II Czar Nicholas II, Alexandra, and Alexis Alexandra, Alexis, and Prince Philip Jan 96,8 Numerical Response 1. Czar Nicholas II was not a hemophiliac. His wife, Alexandra, was a carrier for hemophilia. What was the probability that any of their daughters was a carrier for hemophilia?

Answer: ___________ Jan 96,47 Use the following information to answer the next two questions William Jia, a researcher at the University of British Collumbia, thinks a genetically altered Herpes virus may one day be used to destroy gliomas, a type of brain cancer that attacks the frontal lobes of the cerebrum. Jia managed to genetically engineer a Herpes virus that replicates only in rapidly dividing cancer cells and thus destroys only those cells. Jia handicaps the Herpes virus by deleting the genes that code for an enzyme needed for viral replication. This prevents the virus from replicating in normal, non-dividing brain cells, but enable it to continue replicating in cancerous brain cells. As the virus replicates, the rapidly dividing cancer cells are killed. 9. The deletion of genes from the Herpes virus likely involves the use of A. B. C. D. biopsies and chorionic villus sampling karyotyping and pedigree analysis amniocentesis and chromosome mapping restriction enzymes and ligases Jan 96,48 10. After the destruction of the cells in a brain tumour, the altered Herpes virus will likely A. B. C. D. change into a form capable of producing the enzymes necessary for the reproductive cycle of the virus spread to other areas of the body and attack other types of cancer cells that may be present enter a dormant stage because enzymes required for replication are absent spread to a nearby region of the brain and begin normal replication Jun 96,27 Use the following information to answer the next question.

The HB allele is dominant in men but recessive in women. The HN (normal) allele is dominant in females bur recessive in males. A single HB allele seems to cause pattern baldness only in the presence of the level of testosterone normally found in adult males. Males will develop pattern baldness with the genotypes H BHN or HBHB; whereas, for females to develop pattern baldness, they must inherit two HB alleles.

The abnormal hemoglobin (hemoglobin-S) produced causes red blood cells to become deformed and block capillaries. Tissue damage results.
