Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

Chapter 15 q &a

front 1

In cats, black fur color is caused by an X-linked allele; the other allele at this locus causes orange color. The heterozygote is tortoiseshell. What kinds of offspring would you expect from the cross of a black female and an orange male?

back 1

tortoiseshell females; black males

front 2

Calico cats are female because

back 2

a male inherits only one of the two X-linked genes controlling hair color.

front 3

Women (and all female mammals) have one active X chromosome per cell instead of two. What causes this?

back 3

modification of the XIST gene so that it is active only on one X chromosome, which then becomes inactive

front 4

Which of the following statements is true of linkage?

back 4

The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the lower the probability that a crossover will occur between them.

front 5

What does a frequency of recombination of 50% indicate?

back 5

The two genes are likely to be located on different chromosomes.

front 6

What is the reason that linked genes are inherited together?

back 6

They are located close together on the same chromosome.

front 7

Recombination between linked genes comes about for what reason?

back 7

Crossovers between these genes result in chromosomal exchange.

front 8

Why does recombination between linked genes continue to occur?

back 8

New allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection.

front 9

If nondisjunction occurs in meiosis II during gametogenesis, what will be the result at the completion of meiosis?

back 9

1/4 of the gametes will be n + 1, 1/4 will be n - 1, and 1/2 will be n.

front 10

Of the following human aneuploidies, which is the one that generally has the most severe impact on the health of the individual?

back 10

47, +21

front 11

What is the source of the extra chromosome 21

back 11

nondisjunction or translocation in either parent

front 12

At which phase(s) is it preferable to obtain chromosomes to prepare a karyotype

back 12

late prophase or metaphase

front 13

Which of the following produces a Mendelian pattern of inheritance?

back 13

a trait acted upon by many genes
