  • True
  • False

Questão 11

Questão

Questão 12

Questão

  • Autosomal dominant
  • Autosomal recessive

Questão 13

Questão

Responda
  • Autosomal recessive
  • Autosomal dominant

Questão 14

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

Questão 15

Questão
How can two parents that have albinism have a child without albinism?
Responda
  • 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.
  • Albinism is autosomal dominant. 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 dominant. 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.

  • Repair
  • Tumour growth
  • Spermatogenesis
  • Oogenesis

Questão 22

Questão
What is crossing over?
Responda
  • 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.

Questão 23

Questão
What is independent assortment?
Responda
  • 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.

  • True
  • False

Questão 29

Questão

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 30

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

Questão 31

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

Questão 32

Questão
How does trisomy 21 (aka Down's) occur?
Responda
  • 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.

Questão 33

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

Questão 34

Questão
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.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 35

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

Questão 36

Questão
Common gene mutations are indicated in certain cancers.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 37

Questão
What is the function of the mismatch repair machinery?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 38

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

Questão 39

Questão

  • False
