Biology Ch12Online version Genetic lingo, Punnett squares, pedigree analysis by Erin Eggar 1 Which of the following statements is true for the genotype of an individual? a It refers to the outward appearance of a gene or collection of genes. b It can refer to a particular gene or an overall collection of genes. c It only refers to individual genes. d It is different in different cells of an individual. 2 If a gene is considered recessive, which of the following is true? a It will never be passed on to offspring. b It will never be expressed, regardless of how many copies are present. c It can be identified in a heterozygous individual by its phenotype. d Its expression will be hidden in a heterozygous individual. 3 Which of the following conditions are necessary for a recessive allele to be expressed in the phenotype? a The presence of one recessive allele. b The individual must be homozygous for the recessive allele. c A dominance interaction with a heterozygous genotype. d Expression of the dominant allele in the heterozygous. 4 What determines the phenotype of an organism? a The genotype at one specific locus. b Only the dominant alleles present. c The combination of inherited alleles. d Only the recessive alleles present. 5 In a diploid organism, how are alleles shared between parents and offspring? a Each parent contributes two alleles for each gene. b One allele per gene is contributed by each parent. c Alleles are not always shared between parent and offspring. d Both parents contribute identical alleles for each gene. 6 Regarding the invention of the Punnett Square, which of the following statements is true? a It is named after the square, green plastic baskets used to sell berries. b It can only be used to determine the likelihood of inheritance for one trait at a time. c It cannot be used to determine the likelihood of an offspring's phenotype. d The diagram is named after its inventor, Reginald C. Punnett. 7 The values that get entered into each box of the Punnett Square a Represent the genotypes for each parent. b Represent one possible combination of alleles from each parent. c Represent all the alleles from both parents. d Will no longer be valid if none of the offspring inherit that genotype. 8 If identical genotype results appear in two or more boxes of the Punnett Square: a They are treated as one box and only counted once. b It indicates that all offspring will inherit that particular genotype. c Their frequency is combined or added together to determine likelihood of inheritance. d They are eliminated as a possibility of inheritance for that trait. 9 In the context of Punnett Squares, what does being heterozygous mean? a Having two identical alleles for a particular gene. b Having two different alleles for a particular gene. c Having the ability to digest lactose. d Having no ability to digest lactose. 10 A pedigree analysis is useful for which of the following? a To study how traits or diseases are inherited. b To determine whether a trait is dominant or recessive. c To help couples understand the risk of passing on the trait to offspring. d All of the above 11 Which of the following statements is incorrect? The family tree is organized in such a way that: a Offspring of a mating pair are inserted above the parents. b Males are usually represented by squares and females as circles. c An individual affected by the trait in question is usually shaded in. d A non-shaded shape can be a carrier or a non-carrier of a trait. 12 Which of the following is true for an autosomal recessive disease? a The disease will never skip a generation. b Two carriers of the trait can have offspring that are affected. c Males are generally affected more often that females. d When a mating couple are both affected by the disease, they can have offspring that are only carriers. 13 In a pedigree, how are matings between individuals represented? a By a vertical line between shapes. b By a horizontal line between shapes. c By shading between shapes. d By placing shapes in subsequent rows. 14 Based on the inheritance pattern of biotinidase deficiency, which statement is accurate? a It is an autosomal dominant disorder. b It is a sex-linked disorder. c It is an autosomal recessive disorder. d It does not follow a Mendelian pattern of inheritance. 15 What does a shaded shape in a pedigree typically represent? a An unaffected individual. b A carrier of a trait. c An individual demonstrating a disease phenotype. d A non-carrier of a trait.
