Question

1) A man is found to be karyotypically 47, XYY. The presence of an extra Y chromosome could be caused by the following: (Choose any and all that alone could lead to the condition)

non-disjunction in a maternal meiocyte at meiosis I.

non-disjunction in a paternal meiocyte at meiosis II.

non-disjunction in a maternal meiocyte at meiosis II.

unequal crossing over.

non-disjunction in a paternal meiocyte at meiosis I.

2) Which of the following is/are NOT a key structural property displayed by the heritable (transforming) material?

Choose any and all answers that are not true.

The structure must allow or tolerate small changes that faciliate non-lethal variation.

The structure must be composed of rare/unusual elements.

The structure must be accurately copied before cell division.

The structure must contain complex information (genetic code).

The structure must be enzymatically active, able to mediate cellular metabolism.
