Question 14
Question
Cohesin only occurs between sister chromatids
Question 15
Question
What is the role of cohesin in Meiosis I?
Answer
-
Holds sister chromatids together
-
Allows chiasmata to occur
-
Counteracts microtubule pulling force until the crossover is complete
Question 16
Question

Answer
-
Increases genetic diversity
-
Prevents mistakes (i.e. incorrect separation)
-
Increases efficiency of microtubule separation
Question 17
Question
In Meiosis I, sister chromatids must go to separate poles
Question 18
Question
What is the 'Mono-orientation of sister kinetochores?'
Answer
-
Sister chromatids remaining together and travelling to the same pole
-
The exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes
-
Sister chromatids separating and travelling to opposite poles
Question 19
Question
What is the budding/fission yeast version of 'Mono-orientation of sister kinetochores'?
Answer
-
Monopolin
-
Monoferrin
-
Monobindin
Question 20
Question
We have no idea how Mono-orientation of sister kinetochores occurs in humans
Question 21
Question
How is Cohesin lost in Anaphase I and II
Answer
-
Microtubules attach and release separase
-
Separase is released during chiasmata
-
Separase is transcribed in the nucleus and diffuses to homologous chromosomes
Question 22
Question
During anaphase I, cohesin is lost where?
Question 23
Question
According to Medel's first law of inheritance, what happens to the two alleles present during replication?
Answer
-
They are separated away from each other to opposite poles, so each gamete has only 1 allele, giving a ratio of 2:2 in the gametes
-
They are not separated and go to the same pole, so each gamete has two alleles, giving a ratio of 1:1 in the gametes
-
They are separated to the same poles, so each gamete has two alleles, giving a ratio of 2:2 in the gametes
Question 24
Question
What assumptions are made in the Hardy Weinburg Equilibrium Equation?
Question 25
Question
Mendel's Second Law is The Law Of Segregation
Question 26
Question
State Mendel's Sencond Law
Question 27
Question
Linked genes are much more likely to be separated
Question 28
Question
Define Linkage Disequilibrium
Answer
-
Genes are found on the same chromosome
-
The clustering of telomeres prevents genes from separating
-
The occurrence in members of a population, combinations of linked genes in non-random proportions
