Colour blindness in humans is recessive and sex-linked. A colour blind male has children with a woman with normal vision. If they have a male with colourblindness, what is the genotype of the mother?
Homozygous Recessive
Homozygous Dominant
Heterozygous
Trisomatic
The gametes of a plant of genotype FfHh should have the genotypes:
FH & fh
Fh, FH, & fH
FH, Fh, fH, & fh
fh & fH
Crossing over is an event that occurs at the end of:
Prophase I
Telophase I
Anaphase I
Metaphase II
The point where chromosomes cross over is called the:
Chiasmata
Telomere
Centromere
Transposon
In horses, a gene for coat colour has two alleles: red (R) and brown (r). When a purebred red cow is mated with a pure bred brown bull, all their calves have coat colours made up of a mixture of individual red hairs and brown hairs - known as Roan. This is an example of:
Incomplete Dominance
Co-Dominance
Sex Linkage
Multiple Alleles
During which phase of Mitosis do sister chromatids separate?
Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
Metaphase
During which phase of Mitosis do chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell?
Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
Metaphase
At the end of Meiosis I, the daughter cells created are:
Identical
Haploid
Diploid
Trisomatic
Oogenesis results in the production of:
4 haploid eggs
1 haploid egg and 3 polar bodies
1 diploid egg and 3 haploid polar bodies
4 diploid eggs
Spermatogenesis results in the production of:
4 haploid sperm
1 haploid sperm and 3 polar bodies
1 diploid sperm and 3 haploid polar bodies
4 diploid sperm
In squash, white fruit (W) is dominant over yellow (w) and disk-shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped (d).. If a squash plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with a plant true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit, what will the phenotypic ratios be for the offspring:
9:3:3:1
100% White disk-shaped fruit
50% White disk-shaped & 50% Yellow sphere-shaped
50% White sphere-shaped & 50% Yellow disk-shaped
In squash, white fruit (W) is dominant over yellow (w) and disk-shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped (d). If a plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit, what will chance be of getting a yellow sphere-shaped fruit in the F2 generation?
