In people the gene, which causes one form of color-blindness or Daltonism, is located in the X-chromosome. The affected condition is caused by a recessive gene, healthy condition is dominant. A girl who has emmetropia (normal eyesight), whose father had color-blindness, marries a normal man, whose father also suffers from color-blindness. What kind of sight is expected in the children from this marriage?
Red-green color blindness is inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait. The gene is found on the X chromosome. How can a man with normal color vision father a daughter who is red-green color-blind? Group of answer choices The man is heterozygous for red-green color blindness. The woman with whom he mates is red-green color-blind. He can't (unless there is a mutation). The man's mother carries an allele for red-green color blindness, and the expression of the trait skipped a generation.
Two individuals have a mutation on chromosome 18. This mutation, when present in one copy, results in thick fingernails and toenails. Jeff has this mutation in all of his cells. Tom also has the mutation, but only in the cells of his liver. Which individual has a chance of passing this trait to his children? Options: Jeff Tom Both Neither
The two main sources of genetic variation from meiosis are ________. a. random orientation of homologous pairs and mutation b. crossing over and random mutation c. random orientation of homologous pairs and crossing over
Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, occurs when there is a normal diploid chromosomal complement but one (extra) chromosome 21. Given the fact that embryos with 48 chromosomes (four #21 chromosomes) are not likely to survive early development, what percentage of surviving offspring would be expected to have Down syndrome if both parents have Down syndrome? all 2/3 1/2 1/3 none
Which of the following is least likely to produce genetic variation in the offspring of an individual? (a) a DNA replication error caused by DNA polymerase in a body cell of the individual (b) a cross over event during meiosis that creates a new combination of alleles in the gametes (c) independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis that creates a new combination of alleles in the gametes (d) the random fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell during sexual reproduction

Each box contains sex chromosome complements. An “O” means no sex chromosomes. Match each box to the correct stages of normal or abnormal oogenesis or spermatogenesis. Each blue box will be used at least once, and some blue boxes will be used more than once. Some stages will have more than one answer.
Which of the following statements is not correct ? a. Homologous chromosomes are separated during meiosis 1. b. In humans, a primary spermatocyte cell has 92 chromatids c.
