Exam 10: Patterns of Inheritance

Which of the following represents all of the possible gametes that can be formed by an individual with the genetic makeup: FfGgHH?

Humans have many genes that contribute to the unique array of proteins found on their red blood cells. Your MN blood type (the letters indicate the presence of M and N proteins on the red blood cells) is determined by the co-dominant alleles Lᴹ and Lᴺ. Which of the following genotypes could be produced when a man with MN blood and a woman with MN blood mate?

The Iᴬ and Iᴮ alleles involved in human blood type differ in that they attach different ______ to the surface of red blood cells.

If an offspring has a total of 32 genes, it inherited _____ genes from each parent

Most human genetic characters are

According to Mendel's law of _______, when gametes are formed the separation of alleles for one gene is unrelated to the separation of alleles for other genes.

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive gene. If C = normal and c = cystic fibrosis, how can a child with cystic fibrosis have two parents that do not have cystic fibrosis?

In meiosis, two copies of a gene separate and end up in different __________.

Which of the following statements is true?

Experiments involving small numbers of offspring give more reliable experimental results than observing large numbers of offspring.

Most traits are under the control of more than one gene.

Traits that are determined by the effect of more than one gene are called ________.

If a person has one copy of each of two different alleles for a given gene, the person is _______ for that trait.

Individuals in the F₁ generation are always

We need a hammer to pound nails into a board. Even if we have the nails, we can't pound them without first getting hold of a hammer. This is similar to the genetic relationship known as
