Barr Body
Frage 3
Frage
How can a female heterozygote phenotypically display a mosaic phenotype?
Antworten
-
X-chromosome inactivation can phenotypically cause this for X- linked genes to display a mosaic phenotype.
-
X-chromosome inactivation can phenotypically cause this for X- linked genes to display a mosaic phenotype. This can also occur in males with a XXY genotype.
-
Y-chromosome inactivation can phenotypically cause this for Y- linked genes to display a mosaic phenotype.

What is an example of a reversible epigenetic process?
Frage 7
Frage
What does epigenetic mean?
Antworten
-
Not a change in DNA sequence but a change in chromatin state.
-
A change in DNA sequence and a change in chromatin state.
-
Multiple gene sequences are cut out of the X-inactivation
Frage 8
Frage
X-inactivation is...
Antworten
-
Erased during Mitosis, and the chromosome is passed onto the progeny in its original, active state.
-
Erased during Meiosis, and the chromosome is passed onto the progeny in an altered state.
-
Erased during Meiosis, and the chromosome is passed onto the progeny in its original, active state.
Frage 9
Frage
If extra X chromosomes are inactivated, why does XXY (Klinefelters) produce a clinical syndrome?
Antworten
-
Up to 25% of some x-linked genes in humans escape inactivation. This includes the genes within the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the Y chromosomes.
-
Up to 75% of some x-linked genes in humans escape inactivation. This includes the genes within the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the X and Y chromosomes.

X & Y act as a homologous pair during what?
Antworten
-
Mitosis and daughter cell formation
-
Meiosis and gamete formation
-

Frage 18
Frage
What is a unique aspect(s) of X-linked inheritance?
Antworten
-
XY male parents normally cannot pass their X chromosome to male progeny
-
A male needs to receive only 1 recessive allele to display the recessive phenotype, but females need to receive 2 recessive alleles.
-
A heterozygous female for an X-linked trait can produce sons who display the recessive phenotype, regardless of her mate's X-chromosome genotype.
-
X-linked traits often deviate from Mendelian ratios
-
All are correct.

Antworten
-
It effects females more often than males.
-
It effects males more often than females.
-
It equally effects males and females both.
