PLEASE ANSWER ALL PARTS. Thank you

1) Choose the correct term to complete each of the following statements about X inactivation.


1. A female has one X chromosome and  (Click to select)  one Barr body  two Barr bodies  zero Barr bodies  three Barr bodies  .

2. A male has one X chromosome and  (Click to select)  three Barr bodies  two Barr bodies  one Barr body  zero Barr bodies  .

3. With respect to the expression of X-linked genes, females are  (Click to select)  hermaphrodites  genetic mosaics  pseudohermaphrodites  .

4. A female carrier of an X-linked trait who expresses the phenotype is called a  (Click to select)  pseudohermaphrodite  Barr body  genetic mosaic  manifesting heterozygote  .

5. The gene that controls X inactivation is the  (Click to select)  MECP2  XIST  Barr  SRY  gene.

2) What would be the result if X-inactivation did not occur?

Men would need to increase expression of genes on the Y chromosome.

Women would have twice the amount of genetic material as men.

3) Choose the correct term to complete each of the following sentences.

1. The continued development of external and internal reproductive structures in response to hormones determines an individual's  (Click to select)  chromosomal sex  phenotypic sex  gonadal sex  gender identity  .

2. A person's attraction to individuals of the same or opposite sex is his or her  (Click to select)  phenotypic sex  gender identity  sexual orientation  gonadal sex  .

3.  (Click to select)  Gender identity  Sexual orientation  Gonadal sex  Chromosomal sex  is based on the development of a testis or ovary from an early undifferentiated structure.

4. Feelings or being male or female describe an individual's  (Click to select)  sexual orientation  phenotypic sex  chromosomal sex  gender identity  .

5. An individual's  (Click to select)  phenotypic sex  chromosomal sex  gender identity  gonadal sex  is based on his or her combination of X and Y chromosomes.

Men would express genes on the X chromosome at twice the level that women do.

Women would express genes on the X chromosome at twice the level that men do.

4) Match the type of inheritance with the statements about the molecular basis of inheritance.

A. Pattern baldness in humans occurs from an allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females.  (Click to select)  Simple Mendelian inheritance  Codominance  Sex-influenced inheritance  Incomplete dominance  X-linked inheritance  
B. A woman who is heterozygous for the recessive hemophilia gene does not exhibit the disease. Her sons, but not daughters, inherit the disease.  (Click to select)  Simple Mendelian inheritance  X-linked inheritance  Sex-influenced inheritance  Codominance  Incomplete dominance  
C. A woman passes on the genes specifying heavy beard growth to her sons, despite not having a beard herself.  (Click to select)  X inactivation  Sex-limited inheritance  Simple Mendelian inheritance  Y-linked inheritance  Sex-influenced inheritance  
D. Bulls that mate with a cow which produces milk that is low in saturated fat play their part in transmitting the mutation despite not producing milk themselves.
(Click to select)  Sex-influenced inheritance  X-linked inheritance  Simple Mendelian inheritance  Sex-limited inheritance  Incomplete dominance  

Explanation / Answer

1.A female has one X chromosome and    one Barr body .

2.A male has one X chromosome and    zero Barr bodies.

3.Gonadal sex is based on the development of a testis or ovary from an early undifferentiated structure.

4.Feelings or being male or female describe an individual's gender identity

5.An individual's    chromosomal sex is based on his or her combination of X and Y chromosomes.

a.Pattern baldness in humans occurs from an allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females Sex-influenced inheritance  

b.A woman who is heterozygous for the recessive hemophilia gene does not exhibit the disease. Her sons, but not daughters, inherit the disease. X-linked inheritance   

c.A woman passes on the genes specifying heavy beard growth to her sons, despite not having a beard herself.    Sex-limited inheritance

d.Bulls that mate with a cow which produces milk that is low in saturated fat play their part in transmitting the mutation despite not producing milk themselves. Sex-limited inheritance
