Q35: Which of the following statements regarding genetics is true? An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be homozygous for that trait. The expressed physical traits of an organism are called its genotype. The collection of alleles specific to an organism constitutes its genotype. The same gene may be found in different locations of homologous chromosomes. Q36: When pea plants with purple flowers mate with pea plants with white flowers, all of their offspring have purple flowers. What can you conclude about the white flower trait? It is a dominant trait. It is a trait that does not improve the survival of pea plants. It will be less common than the purple flowers. It is a recessive trait. Q37: In a species of organism, there is a gene with 2 possible alleles. One allele will express the dominant trait while the other allele will not. An organism of this species has two of the same allele but does not have the dominant trait. This organism would be considered a non-functional organism. heterozygous. homozygous dominant. homozygous recessive.

1 Which of the following is true of a phenotype that is described as "skipping a generation"? it is a result of a heterozygous genotype it is a recessive phenotype it is a dominant phenotype the parents were homozygous dominant for the trait 2 Which of the following is true of a disease that is caused by a single gene found on the X chromosome of the sex chromosomes in humans? Males inherit these diseases more often than females because they have only one X chromosome in the pair of sex chromosomes. Females inherit these diseases twice as often as males, because they have two X chromosomes in the pair of sex chromosomes. Males and females inherit these diseases at an equal rate, gender does not influence the DNA all of the choices are correct 3 Which of the following statements about phenotypes is true? recessive phenotypes can be most common in a population Dominant phenotypes can be most common in a population factors in the environment can influence the expression of a phenotype like height or skin color in humans. all of the choices are correct 4 Which of the following is true of a genetic disease caused by a gene described as autosomal recessive? the disease must be carried in both families of the pedigree that produced the child with the disease. males and females inherit them in equal numbers an individual must get two recessive alleles to have the disease all of the choices are correct

Which of the following statements are false? An individual's phenotype represents the expression of the genotype. A population's gene pool consists of the count of all alleles found in the population. Diploid individuals have two copies of most genes in their genome. An individual's genotype represents the expression of the phenotype. QUESTION 3 Assume that a population of 500 diploid individuals is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium for a simple Mendelian hair color gene composed of two alleles (R and r): Individuals with the RR genotype express black hair; individuals with the Rr genotype express red hair; and individuals with the rr genotype express yellow hair. If a scientist knew the phenotype of all 500 individuals, which of the following measurements could be calculated? q p The total number of hair color alleles in the population q2
