Answer
  • Autosomal dominant
  • Autosomal recessive
  • X-Linked recessive
  • X-linked dominant

Which type of inheritance is shown by the pedigree pictured?
Answer
  • Autosomal dominant
  • X-Linked recessive
  • Autosomal recessive

  • False

Question 15

Question
Why would a Y-linked disorder effect fertility?
Answer
  • Y chromosome genes most often effect sex organs

Question 24

Question
Why is Genomic Imprinting a thing?
Answer
  • Some genes are selectively expressed from the maternal or paternal allele
  • Some genes are more dominant depending which parent it is expressed from
  • Maternal genes are more likely to cause disorders than paternal genes
