Multiple Choice: Mutations in the genome

Question Mutations in the genome Answer

may be deleterious may be neither advantageous nor detrimental (termed neutral) may be in the control region of a gene instead of the RNA coding region may be advantageous
could occur in the coding region but not change the amino acid sequence of the protein All of the above answers are possible B&D

Multiple Choice: Frameshift mutations

Question Frameshift mutations Answer can be insertions of a nucelotide into the DNA sequence
can be a deletion of a nucelotide in the DNA sequence change the sequence of only one codon can change the coding sequence and remove a stop codon

All of the above A, B, & D A&B

True/False: Point mutations always change the...

Question Point mutations always change the protein sequence when the occur in the coding region. Answer True False

Multiple Choice: Sickle cell anemia

Question Sickle cell anemia Answer results from the change of one nucleotide which changes one amino
acid gives an advantage to the heterozygous person with this allele in that they are less susceptible to malaria results from a frameshift mutation causes the hemoglobin to be dyfunctional affecting oxygen transport in homozygotes is not harmful in people homozygous for this allele

A, B, D, E A, B, D B, C, D

Question A dihybrid cross between two organisms that are heterozygous at each gene under scrutiny reveals Answer
one-fourth of the gametes are recessive for each allele all of the gametes are the same genotype nine-sixteenths of the offspring express both dominant phenotypes one-sixteenth of the offspring express the recessive phenotype for both alleles

All of the above A, C, D

Multiple Choice: Sex linkage refers to the fact that...

Question Sex linkage refers to the fact that males have a Y chromosome that does not carry some genes found on an X chromosome. Thus a male whose mother is heterozygous for a gene Answer could inherit either allele from the mother and could express a recessive allele could only inherit the dominant allele from his mother could only inherit the recessive allele from his mother would inherit neither allele from his mother, only his father's allele

Multiple Choice: Genomics refers to
