Question 1
Question
Describe a Barr Body
Answer
-
They are intact X chromosomes which are highly condensed and transciptionally repressed.
-
They are intact X chromosomes which are lightly condensed and transcriptionally repressed.
-
They are intact Y chromosomes which are highly condensed and transcriptionally repressed.
Question 2
Question
What is a condensed inactivated X chromosome?
Answer
-
X-linked
-
Y-linked
-
Barr Body
Question 3
Question
How can a female heterozygote phenotypically display a mosaic phenotype?
Answer
-
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.
Question 4
Question
Tortoiseshell cats are mostly...
Answer
-
Female
-
Male
-
Homozygous
-
Heterozygous
-
Both Female and Heterozygous
Question 5
Question
What's an example of random X-inactivation?
Answer
-
Tortoiseshell pattern
-
Down syndrome
-
Siamese cat
Question 6
Question
What is an example of a reversible epigenetic process?
Answer
-
Y-chromosome activation
-
X-chromosome inactivation
-
Down syndrome
Question 7
Question
What does epigenetic mean?
Answer
-
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
Question 8
Question
X-inactivation is...
Answer
-
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.
Question 9
Question
If extra X chromosomes are inactivated, why does XXY (Klinefelters) produce a clinical syndrome?
Answer
-
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.
-
Up to 25% of some x-linked genes in humans escape inactivation. This includes the genes within the pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the X and Y chromosomes.
Question 10
Question
Few genes are shared by both X and Y because...?
Answer
-
Genes that are unique to the X chromosome are X-linked genes.
-
Genes that are unique to the Y chromosome are Y-linked genes.
-
Genes found on the sex chromosomes are sex-linked genes.
-
All are correct.
Question 11
Question
What type of traits exhibit sex-dependent inheritance patterns?
Answer
-
X-linked traits
-
Y-linked traits
-
Sex linked traits
Question 12
Question
The white gene in drosophila is...
Answer
-
X linked and is located on the x chromosome
-
Y linked and located on the Y chromosome
-
Sex independent
Question 13
Question
What would you call a diploid individual that carries only one copy of a given gene?
Answer
-
Hemizygous, Hemizygote
-
Heterozygous, Heterozygote
-
Homozygous, Homozygote
Question 14
Question
In XX/XY species, the XY sex is________ for X-linked genes.
Answer
-
Heterozygous
-
Homozygous
-
Hemizygous
Question 15
Question
How would you denote a Wild type white allele?
Answer
-
w-
-
w+
-
w
Question 16
Question
Hemizygosity is phenotypically equivalent to...?
Answer
-
Sex linked
-
Heterozygosity
-
Homozygosity
Question 17
Question
X & Y act as a homologous pair during what?
Answer
-
Mitosis and daughter cell formation
-
Meiosis and gamete formation
-
Meiosis II and gamete formation
Question 18
Question
What is a unique aspect(s) of X-linked inheritance?
Answer
-
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.
Question 19
Question
What is true about X-linked recessive conditions?
Answer
-
It effects females more often than males.
-
It effects males more often than females.
-
It equally effects males and females both.
