It may gain two amino acids or it may lose two amino acids

It will have different amino acids starting at the mutation site

It will have two different amino acids but the same number of total amino acids

A full karyotype is an image of all the chromosomes present in a cell, while a partial karyotype shows only some of the chromosomes. The partial karyotype shown above is from an infant born with a rare disorder. Only chromosomes 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, and 18 are shown. Which event caused the disorder?

separation of sister chromatids

segregation of homologous chromosomes

Which is most likely an example of a genetically modified organism?

A bacterium that contains DNA from another bacterium

A blue violet that is grafted to an African violet

A hybrid dog crossbred from a pug and a beagle

A microorganism that develops resistance to an antibiotic

Gene therapy changes the DNA of a person with a genetic disease by introducing working genes into a cell nucleus. Which disorder would be the best target for gene therapy?

Hemophilia, which is caused by a gene on the X chromosome

Type II diabetes, which is influenced by diet & genetics

High Blood pressure, which is influenced by multiple genes

Lyme disease, which is caused by bacteria transmitted by ticks

A scientist uses enzymes to splice genetic DNA into a plasmid (a naturally occurring piece of circular DNA that is exchanged between bacterial cells). Then inserts the plasmid into a cell. Which of the following is most likely an application of this process?

Producing a vaccine against the human papillomavirus

Producing an exact genetic clone of a prized racehorse

Determining which of several rice varieties should be crossed

Determining whether a suspect's blood was present at a crime scene

A man with hemophilia and a woman who has no history of the disease in her family plan to have a child. What best describes the outcome of their children?

Any male child will be normal, any daughter would be a carrier

Any male child will have hemophilia, any daughter would be normal

Any male child will have hemophilia, any daughter would be a carrier

Any male child will be normal, any daughter would be normal

Which of the followings is not an example of a Non-Mendelian trait?

Heterozygous - one dominant & one recessive allele

Incomplete dominance - heterozygous is a blend of the dominant & recessive alleles

Co-dominance - both alleles express as dominant

Multiple Alleles - more than 2 alleles for a gene

Which of the following does not describe meiosis?

New cells have half the number of chromosomes

New cells are are genetically different than the parent cell
