Antworten
  • Absence of the male phenotype, leading to production of a female phenotype.
  • Absence of the female phenotype, leading to production of the male phenotype.

Antworten
  • Upregulation of transcription of the X male chromosome
  • Inactivation of one of the X female chromosomes
  • Addition of an extra X chromosome in the male XY genotype

  • True
  • False

Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 10

Frage
Autosomal conditions are genetic conditions that occur on non-sex chromosomes.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 11

Frage
An X-linked condition will only affect the phenotype of a female if the copies of the allele on each X chromosomes are abnormal.

  • True
  • False

Frage 12

Frage
Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is what type of condition?
Antworten
  • Autosomal dominant
  • Autosomal recessive

Frage 13

Frage
Albinism is what type of condition?
Antworten
  • Autosomal recessive
  • Autosomal dominant

Frage 14

Frage
How might a child have achondroplasia despite the parents not having it?
Antworten
  • Parent(s) are carriers
  • Paternity (social father)
  • Mutation in sperm/egg

Frage 15

Frage
How can two parents that have albinism have a child without albinism?
Antworten
  • Albinism is autosomal recessive. This means that any child born to parents who both have albinism should also have albinism as there are no dominant traits in the parents as their genotypes are both homozygous recessive. The reason for the absence of albinism is because the mutated copies in the parents could differ in that the fathers two copies could inhibit a different enzyme in the metabolic pathway that leads to lack of pigment than the mothers. The child will inherit one copy from the father and one copy from the mother and therefore only 50% of each originally fully mutated pathway is inhibited and thus may still be able to produce sufficient melanin.

Antworten
  • Phenylalanine hydroxylase
  • Carbonic anhydrase
  • Phenylalanine anhydrase
  • Tyrosine hydroxylase

  • Genetic drift
  • Founder effect
  • Bottleneck
  • Ethnic group selection (HbS)

  • 1
  • 23
  • 46
  • 44

Antworten
  • Growth
  • Repair
  • Tumour growth
  • Spermatogenesis
  • Oogenesis

Frage 22

Frage
What is crossing over?
Antworten
  • Exchange of genetic information between homologous pairs of chromosomes which produces recombinant chromosomes.
  • The random assortment (lining up) of chromosomes that end up in the gametes.

Frage 23

Frage
What is independent assortment?
Antworten
  • Exchange of genetic information between homologous pairs of chromosomes which produces recombinant chromosomes.
  • The random assortment (lining up) of chromosomes that end up in the gametes.

Frage 24

Frage
When does independent assortment occur?
Antworten
  • First meiotic division
  • Second meiotic division

Frage 25

Frage
Chromosomal non-disjunction describes the failure of homologous chromosomes to seperate in the first or second division in meiosis or during mitosis.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 26

Frage
Chromosomal non-disjunction can lead to trisomy of sex chromosomes.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 27

Frage
The following picture shows the process of meiosis in males
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 28

Frage

Antworten
  • First division
  • Second division

Frage 29

Frage
The following picture shows chromosomal non-disjunction during female meiosis.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 30

Frage
Meiotic non-disjunction occurs pre-embryonically and therefore all cells are effected.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 31

Frage
Mitotic non-disjunction occurs during embryonic division so there may be a mix of normal and abnormal cells, resulting in an abnormal conceptus.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 32

Frage
How does trisomy 21 (aka Down's) occur?
Antworten
  • One copy of the mother's C21 translocates to C14. Upon fertilisation, the future child will have inherited two copies from the mother (due to the translocated C21 to C14 as well as the normal C21 copy) and a copy from the father, making 3 copies of C21.
  • The mother is a carrier of three C21 copies which leads to the child inheriting two copies of C21 from the mother and one from the father.
  • C14 changes into C21 upon fertilisation, therefore two copies are inherited from mother/father and one other copy from the father/mother.

Frage 33

Frage
Mutations are frequently due to...
Antworten
  • Copying errors during DNA replication
  • Spontaneous depurination
  • Background ionising radiation
  • Chromosomal non-disjunction
  • Splicing errors

Frage 34

Frage
A transcriptional mutation commonly affects the promoter region of a gene, therefore promotion to initiate transcription does not occur and thus a protein is not produced.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 35

Frage
A splice site mutation (deleted/creation of splice site) does not introduce introns into the mature mRNA transcript.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 36

Frage
Common gene mutations are indicated in certain cancers.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 37

Frage
What is the function of the mismatch repair machinery?
Antworten
  • The mismatch repair machinery helps to repair slippaged DNA (insertion/deletions) that escapes proofreading
  • The mismatch repair machinery helps to destroy cancer cells
  • The mismatch repair machinery helps to repair incorrectly paired DNA strands

Frage 38

Frage
Sickle cell is caused by a substitution of hydrophilic valine for hydrophobic glutamate (GAG -> GTG)
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 39

Frage
Cystic fibrosis is caused by deletion of a codon coding for a phenylalanine residue of the CFTR channel protein.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 40

Frage
PCR are repeated cycles of...?
Antworten
  • Primer, Polymerase, Denaturation.
  • Polymerase, Primer, Denaturation.
  • Denaturation, Polymerase, Primer.
