TTU Biology 1402 Exam 2- Dr. Held Latest Update Already Passed Karyotyping (#chromosome) -To determine if the patient has an abnormal # of chromosomes - "A photographic inventory of an individual's chromosomes." - ordered display of chromosomes, doubled. Criss- Cross Inheritance Sons inherit their X chromosome from their mother Codominance -The heterozygote expresses both traits (alleles). -"A" and "B" genes make structures (not enzymes)= sugar types. -Ex) Blood types (A,B, ...

Simply-Inherited Traits Correct Answer: traits affected by only a few genes qualitative or categorical affected little by environment Quantitative Correct Answer: measured with numbers Polygenic Traits Correct Answer: Affected by many genes with no gene having an overriding influence. - EX: Growth rate, milk production, ribeye area Typically quantitative or continuous in expression. - Phenotypes are usually described by numbers Greatly influenced by environment Examples of Sim...

acrocentric Refers to the terminal location of the centromere on chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 allelic heterogeneity the situation in which multiple alleles at a singe locus can produce one or more disease phenotypes amorphic Refers to mutations that cause a complete loss of function for the respective gene, and therefore yield the same phenotype as a complete gene deletion Aneuploidy denotes any unbalanced chromosome complement antimorphic Refers to mutations that when present in h...

Exam 4: BIO1201/ BIO 1201 (Latest 2024/ 2025 Update) | Questions and Verified Answers| 100% Correct| Grade A – LSU Q: what makes a specific locus homozygous? Answer: if both homologous chromosomes carry the same allele at a given gene locus (also called true-breeding) Q: what makes a specific locus heterozygous? Answer: if 2 homologous chromosomes carry different alleles at a given gene locus (also called hybrid) Q: what is the punnett square method? Answer:...

Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how the properties of water contribute to this physiological process? - ANSWER The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The membrane permits the movement of water but not salt. The...
