True / False 1. 2. chromosomes. 3. 4. referred 5. present. 6. 7.

Statement A karyotype is a picture of cells undergoing crossing over. A normal human somatic cell contains 23 pairs of

Chromosomes are paired up in a karyotype according to colour. The absence of one of a pair of chromosomes on a karyotype is as a "monosomy". Down Syndrome occurs when an extra X chromosome is

to

XY represents the sex chromosomes for a normal female. XXY represents a female with Turner's Syndrome.

8. Assume H = normal blood and h = hemophilia. An individual h H with X X would be a female suffering from hemophilia. 9. Assume H = normal blood and h = hemophilia. An individual h with X Y would be a male suffering from hemophilia. 10. linked". 11. 12. Genes located on the X chromosome are said to be "sex

Most sex linked disorders are passed on to daughters. Only men can be carriers of sex linked disorders.

13. If a sex linked disorder is caused by a dominant gene (D), an D d individual with genotype X X will suffer from the disorder. 14. The sperm cell ultimately determines the sex of a baby because a sperm cell can carry either an X or a Y chromosome. 15. Sperm cells carrying the X chromosome can be separated in the lab from those carrying the Y chromosome because the Y chromosome is smaller making these sperm lighter.

16. trait, ie"t". 17.

In Mendelian genetics, a capital letter represents a dominant

The genotype "Tt" is called "homozygous".

18.All of the following are genetic disorders, except a. b. c. d. e. sickle-cell anemia cystic fibrosis phenylketonuria huntington's disease malaria

19. A color-blind woman marries a normal man. Which of the following is true of their children? (use a Punnet square to solve the problem) a. b. c. d. e. All will be color blind. All daughters will be normal and all sons will be carriers. All daughters will be color blind and all sons will be normal. All daughters will be heterozygous and all sons will be color blind. It is impossible to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty.

20. The failure of chromosomes to segregate properly during meiosis is called a. b. c. d. e. nondisjunction translocation replication inversion independent assortment

21. Write the genotypes for the following phenotypes of red-green colorblindness. a. normal male _______ b. normal female carrying no colorblind alleles (Homozygous) ________ f. c. colorblind male _________________________ g. d. normal female carrying the colorblind allele (Heterozygous) _________
