Pregunta 3
Pregunta
How can a female heterozygote phenotypically display a mosaic phenotype?
Respuesta
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.

Pregunta 8
Pregunta
X-inactivation is...
Respuesta
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.

Pregunta 9
Pregunta
If extra X chromosomes are inactivated, why does XXY (Klinefelters) produce a clinical syndrome?
Respuesta
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.

Respuesta
Sex linked
Heterozygosity
Homozygosity
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
X & Y act as a homologous pair during what?
Respuesta
Mitosis and daughter cell formation
Meiosis and gamete formation
Meiosis II and gamete formation
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
What is a unique aspect(s) of X-linked inheritance?
Respuesta
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
