Question 1/4

With the pedigree provided, the individuals who are affected with asthma are shaded. Keep in mind that none of the family marriage partners are heterozygous for this trait. What would be considered the inheritance pattern?

Sex-linked Dominant

Autosomal Recessive

Sex-linked Recessive

Autosomal Dominant

Question 2/4

Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, and X-linked recessive are the four traits found in both males and females. However, which trait does not pass generations and is more common among females? Below is a pedigree to help with this question:

Autosomal recessive

X-linked dominant

Autosomal dominant

X-linked recessive

Question 3/4

Below is a pedigree of the Gonzalez family showing they have an autosomal recessive disorder called Sickle Cell Anemia. Determine the probability that individual 5 (male) would be considered a carrier for this disease. The probability will only be from 0 to 1.

0.5

1.75

Question 4/4

True or False: Monozygotic twins are considered identical, while dizyogtic twins are not identical. If the identical twins have one hundred percent concordance while the non-identical twins have a forty percent concordance for hair color, then the percentages determine that the hair color is environmentally influenced.

True

False

Question 1/4

Cas proteins have nuclease activity, which allows them to cut DNA, why is this important?

Because it gives them a chance to replicate DNA

Because it can change a DNA when attached to a CRISPR sequence

Because it can break hydrogen bonds

Because it can combine with CRISPR and protect an organism from foreign DNA

Question 2/4

Recently, the home of Wanda Maximoff was broken into. The burglars took the Darkhold from her, and she is now trying to get it back. She narrowed down the search to 2 suspects. She notices a blood spec near her other books and decides to run a gel electrophoresis to find the real thief. Looking at this gel, which of the suspects was the one whose blood she found?

Suspect 1

Suspect 2

None of the above

All of the above

Question 3/4

What is the DNA sequence that corresponds to this gel?

TTACGTATGGGTCGAT

AGGACTAAAGCCCATG

GTACCCGAAATCAGGA

UCCUGAUUUCGGGUAC

Question 4/4

In the spirit of the holidays, Ms. Smith decided to make some eggnog for her family. Before her brother was able to pick up his bottle of eggnog from Ms. Smith home she was murdered.The detectives working on the case have 3 suspects. Who is responsible for Ms. Smith’s death?

Question 2/4

The sex chromosome for the Poly-X female Syndrome is XXXX. How many Barr bodies will this individual have?

Question 3/4

Transcription requires three major components in order to complete the process. If one of these components is missing, such as the DNA template, what could occur?

Cannot be determined.

Replication will be halted.

Transcription will not be able to complete the process due to a component missing.

Transcription will occur as normal.

Question 4/4

GATATCAGT is a sequence observed. If this sequence was to complete the process of transcription and translation, how many amino acids will results in this sequence?

Cannot be determined

Yay!! You've escaped the elves!
