Q6.5. Which statement below is TRUE? O Crossing over shuffles genes between non-homologous chromosomes. During meiosis, cells arrange their alleles so that beneficial alleles are passed on together. Without crossing over, offspring would be genetically identical to parents. New combinations of alleles arise from the random events of crossing over, independent assortment, and mutation.

Q1. A woman with Turner syndrome is found to be color-blind (an X-linked recessive phenotype). Both her mother and her father have normal vision. a) Explain the simultaneous origin of Turner syndrome and color blindness by the abnormal behavior of chromosomes at meiosis. b) Can your explanation distinguish whether the abnormal chromosome behavior occurred in the father or the mother? c) Can your explanation distinguish whether the abnormal chromosome behavior occurred at the first or second division of meiosis? d) Now assume that a color-blind Klinefelter man has parents with normal vision, and answer parts a, b, and c again.
Q1: What are the odds that a given egg cell will contain an X chromosome? A Y chromosome? What are those odds for a sperm cell? Q2: If a couple has two daughters, does that mean their next two children are more likely to be sons? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: Refer back to “What Are the Odds?” on page 124.)

Which of the following situations does not follow the Law of Independent Assortment? A blond man and a brunette woman produce three offspring over time, all of who have blond hair A white cow crossed with a brown bull produces roan cattle Mating a hog with a sow produces six female piglets Men are more likely to experience hemophilia than women.
Some recessive alleles have such a detrimental effect that they are lethal when present in both chromosomes of a pair. Homozygous recessives cannot survive and die at some point during embryonic development. Suppose that the allele r is lethal in the homozygous rr condition. What genotypic ratios would you expect among the living offspring of the following crosses? a. RRRr b. RrRr
The phenotype of individuals heterozygous for ________ alleles comprises both homozygous phenotypes. a. epistatic b. codominant c. pleiotropic d. hybrid
13.Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? A. All statements are correct B.Only one of the two gene copies present in an organism is distributed to each gamete (egg cell / sperm cell) because of the separation of homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids during meiosis. C. If a cross produces 100% heterozygous genotype, then all of the offspring will exhibit the dominant allele D.The arrangement of chromosomes in metaphase I and metaphase II in Meiosis is not random, therefore, the inheritance of a trait will not affect the inheritance of the other trait
Q1: Which chromosome contains the gene for cystic ﬁbrosis? For Tay-Sachs disease? For sickle-cell disease? Q2: No known genetic disorders are encoded on the Y chromosome. Why do you think this is? Q3: In your own words, explain why most single-gene disorders are recessive rather than dominant.
16. A test cross is done to determine: the genotype of an individual showing a known phenotype the phenotype of an individual with a known genotype the genotype of an individual showing a dominant phenotype if an individual showing a known phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous
