29. What is Mendels “theory of dominance”? Examine a monohybrid (one gene) cross as shown in the
textbook. Why does the recessive trait “disappear” in the first generation?
30. What is Mendel’s “theory of random segregation of alleles”?
31. What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype?
32. How would you represent a homozygous dominant individual? Homozygous recessive?
Heterozygous?
33. What is sickle cell disease? What gene is mutated? Is this inherited as a recessive, or a dominant
trait? Why is sickle cell disease said to be an example of “pleiotropy”?
34. Why are skin color, intelligence, and height examples of polygenes? What type of curve suggests
that a trait is inherited in a polygenic fashion?
35. How can the environment affect the expression of a polygenic trait such as skin color?
36. Why do the chromosomes (DNA) need to be copied before a cell divides?
37. What does it mean to say that 2 chromosomes are homologous?
38. Do more complex organisms always have more chromosomes?
39. What is the difference between autosomes and sex chromosomes? How many pairs of autosomes
are in a human cell?
40. Which chromosome determines maleness in humans?
41. What is a karyotype?
42. What is meant by 46, XX and 46, XY and 47, XX, 21+?
43. What is the difference between amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS)?
44. Can single gene disorders be diagnosed by karyotype? What information does a karyotype hold?
45. How are chromosomes arranged in a karyotype?
46. What is the main difference between a deletion, a duplication, an inversion, and a chromosomal
translocation?
47. What type of chromosomal disorder is Cri du Chat?
48. What is hemophilia? Which chromosome has this gene for blood clotting?
49. In what way are hemophilia and color blindness inherited in a criss cross fashion (from mother to
son and from son to daughter)?
50. What are the differences between ultrasound, embryo testing, and fetal testing for genetic
characteristics? Which involves a picture of anatomy on a monitor? Which involves amniocentesis
or CVS? Which involves in vitro fertilization and implantation of normal embryos?
51. What are some of the ethical implications of prenatal testing?
