Human ReproductionYour biology teacher gifts two fruit flies to you One is a true breeding red eyed female with vestigial wings flightless The other is a white eyed known to be x linked male with normal wing shape The eye color and the wing shape genes are found on different chromosomes You decide to breed them In the F1 generation all of the flies have red eyes and normal wings Select all of the following that are correct given this scenario Females can never have white eyes Males can be carriers of the white eye allele White eyed females can be produced in the F3 generation The probability that one of the F2 offspring would be a white eyed male with vestigial wings is 1 16 In the F2 generation males have a 50 chance of having white eyes

Principles of Inheritance & Variation (Genetics)A diploid strawberry plant is crossed to an octoploid strawberry plant Select all of the correct statements below The resulting offspring would still produce haploid gametes This cross does not work because plants cannot be polyploid The gametes of the octoploid would be tetraploid following meiosis The resulting offspring would be decaploid The resulting offspring would be pentaploid

Cell Cycle and Cell DivisionThe DNA of a child with Down Syndrome is analyzed It is found that of the three Chromosome 21 structures in the karyotype two are genetically identical and match the maternal DNA Select all of the following that are true of this scenario The karyotype of the child would be considered a monosomy because there is one extra chromosome The egg had two of Chromosome 21 The sperm did not have any copies of Chromosome 21 Nondisjunction occurred during Meiosis II Nondisjunction occurred during Meiosis I

BiomoleculesA young girl manifests symptoms consistent with a chromosome structural change DNA sequencing indicates that all the genes are still present in the cell and that there are pairs of each gene Karyotype staining shows that only a single chromosome is affected Select all the statements below that are true of this case Only one chromosome was affected because it was a duplication within the same chromosome The effects are a result of a deletion The order of the affected genes are reversed A translocation has occurred This type of structural change is called an inversion
Biology
Biomoleculestic condition where people are born without the usual pigment in their bodies due to the inability to create a normal amount of melanin So most people with albinism have very pale skin hair and eyes In other words multiple traits are affected by a single gene Sometimes genes are not expressed because of interactions between the products of genes In a metabolic pathway all the enzymes required for the metabolic pathway must be expressed to create the final product A genotype that eliminates the expression of even one gene for an enzyme in the pathway affects all the others In sea turtles sex is determined not by chromosomes but instead by the temperature of the nest during development Research shows that if a turtle s eggs incubate below 27 7 degrees C the turtle hatchlings will be male If the eggs incubate above 31 degrees C however the hatchlings will be female Temperatures that fluctuate between the two extremes will produce a mix of male and female baby turtles incomplete dominance epistasis environmental factors

Sexual Reproduction in Flowering PlantsUse the picture above as an example of four possible fur color types in this breed of dog from left to right black solid brown piebald black piebald brown solid A breeder of the dogs makes the following observations of possible outcomes of crosses black solid x black solid can produce all the phenotypes brown solid x brown solid can produce brown solid or brown piebald black piebald x black piebald can produce black piebald or brown piebald brown piebald x brown piebald can produce brown piebald Select all of the following that are true of this genetic scenario In a litter of puppies with all four color types the probability of producing piebald is 1 4 In a litter of puppies with all four color types the probability of producing a black piebald is 3 16 Brown is dominant to black Piebald is recessive to solid There are two genes with two alleles described here

Biology
Molecular Basis of InheritanceHuman skin color comes in continuous gradient of variety Multiple genes are involved in determining the skin color phenotype Each gene has an additive effect with the presence of more dominant alleles in the genotype producing darker skin pigmentation In dogs when poodles with curly hair are crossed to labradors with straight hair the offspring have wavy hair These heterzygous offspring can be bred together to produce offspring with straight wavy or curly hair In chickens a rooster with black feathers is crossed to a hen with white feathers All the offspring have a mottled appearance of both black and white feathers Albinism is a genetic condition where people are born without the usual pigment in their bodies due to the inability to create a normal amount of melanin So most people with albinism have very pale skin hair and eyes In epistasis multiple alleles incomplete dominance incomplete dominance
