LO 77 Identify the elements that make a quantitative trait. Which of the following characteristics would be considered a quantitative traits? Select all that apply. About 80 percent of an individual's height is believed to be determined by the DNA variants that they inherit. Height is controlled largely by a combination of genetic variants that each have modest effects on height, plus a smaller contribution from environmental factors like nutrition. More than 700 gene variants have been discovered and many more are expected to be identified. Primary Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) has been studied to be influenced by genes at different loci. 45% of Adults in the U.S. have hypertension. Two Indian Paintbrush flowers raised in the same environment were crossed. One parent was yellow and the other was reddish orange. Of the cross, the F2 generation showed a diverse distribution of colors from yellow to reddish orange. The flower Gaillaridia pilchella has been known to show variation in flower diameter. This trait is controlled by a number of genes.

Polygenic traits are: Group of answer choices Rare, comprising just a few traits. Most traits are monogenic rather than polygenic. Controlled by two or more genes, and include traits such as skin color and height. Controlled by just one gene, and include traits such as ABO blood type or freckles. Usually caused by harmful mutations that lead to disease development.
What does a high LOD score mean?
Please explain how the more genes that contribute to a particular trait, the less discrete the categories become, and the more continuous it is, the distribution appears in a quantitative trait. Be sure that you include the following topics in your description: phenotypic categories, genotype, dominant and recessive, segregations of alleles, additive alleles.
If a woman who is a carrier for Tay-Sachs has children with a man who is not a Tay-Sachs carrier, what is the probability that one of their children will be a carrier for Tay-Sachs? (Sketch a Punnett square to help you find the correct answer.) a. None b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% e. 100%
What are the causes of unexpected rations and why? (non-dominant nature of traits, several genes affecting the trait, environmental effects, incomplete penetrance, lethal phenotypes, etc)
Which of the following statements about Mendelian or complex disease is TRUE? Question options: Genetic methods for studying Mendelian phenotypes, such as crossing, is not useful for mapping quantitative trait loci. Mapping of quantitative trait loci does relies on genetic variations that directly contribute to the trait of interest. Both Mendelian and complex traits are associated with single gene locus. Genetic factors determine Mendelian traits, while environmental factors determine complex traits. Genome-wide association studies rely on polymorphic markers that are in linkage disequilibrium with alleles that contribute to the trait of interest.
M. T. Tsuang and colleagues studied drug dependence in male twin pairs (M. T. Tsuang et al. 1996. American Journal of Medical Genetics 67:473–477). They found that 82 out of 313 monozygotic twin pairs were concordant for abuse of one or more illicit drugs, whereas 40 out of 243 dizygotic twin pairs were concordant for the same trait. Calculate the concordances for drug abuse in these monozygotic and dizygotic twins. On the basis of these data, what conclusion can you draw concerning the roles of genetic and environmental factors in drug abuse?
For the odds ratio and relative risk, what is the importance of the number 1?
The following table gives the percentage of twin pairs studied in which both twins expressed the same phenotype for a trait (concordance). Percentages listed are for concordance for each trait in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins. Assuming that both twins in each pair were raised together in the same environment, what do you conclude about the relative importance of genetic versus environmental factors for each trait? Trait MZ % DZ % Blood types 100 66 Eye color 99 28 Mental retardation 97 37 Measles 95 87 Hair color 89 22 Handedness 79 77 Idiopathic epilepsy 72 15 Schizophrenia 69 10 Diabetes 65 18 Identical allergy 59 5 Cleft lip 42 5 Club foot 32 3 Mammary cancer 6 3

A geneticist is studying memory recall and is trying to locate specific genes that have varying effects on a given phenotype (physical trait) in the study subjects. These locations of these genes are referred to as: Group of answer choices Genomic spatial identifications Epigenetic regulators Evocative response indicators Quantitative trait loci
