Why are sex-linked recessive traits (like colorblindness) more common in males than females?
Males have two X chromosomes.
Males only need one recessive allele on their single X chromosome to express the trait.
Females cannot carry the gene.
The Y chromosome blocks the trait.
What is the genotype of a female who is a carrier for colorblindness?
XC XC
XC Xc
Xc Xc
Xc Y
In a pedigree, a shaded circle represents:
An unaffected male
An affected male
An unaffected female
An affected female
If two unaffected parents have an affected daughter, the mode of inheritance for the trait is likely:
Autosomal Dominant
Autosomal Recessive
Sex-linked Recessive
Mitochondrial
In a sex-linked recessive pedigree, who usually passes the trait to an affected son?
The father
The carrier mother
The grandfather
The brother
The physical appearance of an organism (e.g., "Tall") is its:
Genotype
Phenotype
Allele
Karyotype
An organism with two different alleles for a trait (Tt) is called:
Homozygous
Heterozygous
Purebred
Recessive
Which law states that alleles for different traits (like seed shape and seed color) are distributed to sex cells independently of one another?
Law of Segregation
Law of Dominance
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Codominance
A variation of a gene (e.g., B or b) is called a(n):
Chromosome
