Identify causes of deviations from simple Mendelian ratios.
• Discuss how environmental factors may affect phenotype.
• Explain how single genes can affect numerous phenotypic traits.
• Explain that some phenotypic traits are affected by several loci.
If two events are [blank_start]independent[blank_end] of each other, we use the product rule, and [blank_start]multiply[blank_end] their probabilities.
Responda
independent
multiply
Questão 2
Questão
What is the probability of getting an AaBbcc offspring from the cross of Aa BB Cc x Aa Bb cc?
Responda
50%
25%
12.5%
Questão 3
Questão
If you observed a 2:1 ratio for a gene in offspring, what could you assume?
Responda
One allele combination is lethal and so is never observed.
One allele combination never leads to a phenotype.
One allele combination is very rare.
Questão 4
Questão
Greater polymorphism in a population can be advantageous for survival and evolution.
Responda
True
False
Questão 5
Questão
Choose the incorrect statement about Incomplete Dominance.
Responda
Both alleles appear to be expressed equally by all cells, showing an intermediate phenotype which is neither.
A cross between two F1 individuals with a blended appearance of alleles will produce offspring in a 1:2:1 ratio, where 50% of the offspring have the phenotype of a blended appearance and the other 50% display single alleles.
It proves the blending inheritance theory.
Questão 6
Questão
Which statement best describes co-dominance?
Responda
Both alleles are expressed on the phenotype at the same time.
Neither alleles appear to be expressed on the phenotype, but instead an intermediate between them is seen.
Questão 7
Questão
The ABO blood antigen system is a good example of:
Responda
incomplete dominance
co-dominance
Questão 8
Questão
Epistasis describes the situation where one gene [blank_start]affects[blank_end] the action of another. Hence, if the gene to produce one enzyme in a [blank_start]metabolic pathway[blank_end] is damaged or ineffective, the next enzyme and gene in the chain may be perfectly [blank_start]function[blank_end] but will never produce an end product because their precursor is dysfunctional. The second gene is said to be under [blank_start]epistatic control[blank_end] of the first.
Responda
affects
metabolic pathway
functional
epistatic control
Questão 9
Questão
A phenotype controlled by many genes which have an additive effect is known as a [blank_start]_______[blank_end] trait, and example being [blank_start]______[blank_end].
Responda
polymorphic
polygenic
skin colour, weight, or height etc.
eye colour, hair colour, etc.
Questão 10
Questão
What is pleiotropy?
Responda
One gene having many phenotypic affects.
One gene affecting many other genes.
Many genes affecting the phenotype in a summative way.
