Questions and Answers

What is always the difference between the alleles of a gene?

  • Their position on the chromosome
  • Their amino acid sequences
  • The number of codons that each contains
  • Their base sequence (correct)
  • What is the difference between autosomes and sex chromosomes?

  • Autosomes are diploid and sex chromosomes are haploid
  • Sex chromosomes determine gender and autosomes do not (correct)
  • Autosomes are not found in gametes but sex chromosomes are
  • Sex chromosomes are found in animal cells and autosomes are found in plant cells
  • A parent organism of an unknown genotype is mated in a test cross. Half of the offspring have the same phenotype as the parent. What can be concluded from this result?

  • The parent is heterozygous for the trait (correct)
  • The trait being inherited is polygenic
  • The parent is homozygous dominant for the trait
  • The parent is homozygous recessive for the trait
  • A polygenic character is controlled by two genes each with two alleles. How many different possible genotypes are there for this character?

    A single gene in humans causes blood to be either rhesus positive (dominant allele) or rhesus negative (recessive allele). A woman with rhesus-negative blood has already had a child with rhesus-positive blood. There could be complications during pregnancy if she has another child with rhesus-positive blood. What is the probability of this, if the father is the same, and if his mother is known to have rhesus-negative blood?
