Questions and Answers

Why is crossing over more likely to occur between widely spaced linked genes A and B, or between A and C, than between closely spaced linked genes B and C?

  • There is more room for an exchange to occur. (correct)
  • Gene B and C are unrelated.
  • Closely spaced genes have fewer chromosomes.
  • Gene A has stronger genetic material.

Which term describes a person who has only one copy of a gene instead of the usual two copies?

  • Hemizygous (correct)
  • Homozygous
  • Diploid
  • Heterozygous

What does 'genotype' refer to?

  • The observable traits of an individual
  • The Mendelian inheritance pattern
  • The variation between siblings
  • The genetic make-up of an individual (correct)
