Question
Answer
Genes that are on the same chromosome   syntenic genes  
🗑
The physical linkage of genes on the same chromosomes   synteny  
🗑
The term means that two or more genes do not assort independently and are transmitted together. Which means a chromosome is referred to as   linkage group  
🗑
Human linkage groups   22 autosomal linkage groups, one X chromosome linkage group, one Y chromosome linkage group  
🗑
What is the process of homologous chromosomes exchanging pieces with each other during which process of prophase in meiosis I   genetic recombination during crossing over  
🗑
Crossing over produces   recombinant phenotypes  
🗑
Cells without crossing over   nonrecombinant cells  
🗑
Cells with crossing over   recombinant cells  
🗑
The likelihood of crossing over depends on what between two genes   the distance between two genes  
🗑
Morgan realized that linkage of autosomal genes in Drosophila could be interpreted using   a two-point test-cross analysis  
🗑
The purpose of genetic mapping is to determine what of genes along the same chromosome   the linear order and distance  
🗑
Genetic maps can be made by   recombination analysis  
🗑
Genetic maps are based on the number of times that a crossover event occurs between genes and creates   a linkage map  
🗑
Genetic mapping is usually done by doing   testcrosses between a heterozygote and homo recessive  
🗑
recombination frequency =   map units  
🗑
Geneticists can efficiently map three linked genes simultaneously by performing   a three-point test-cross analysis  
🗑
Separates the gene in the middle from the other two genes at either end   a double crossover  
🗑
What does it mean when we say genes are syntenic   they are located on the same chromosome  
🗑
Which of the following statements is true A. Genes that are closer together are less likely to experience crossing over B. Genes that are further apart are less likely to experience crossing over C. Recombination frequency overestimates the distance   A. Genes that are closer together are less likely to experience crossing over  
🗑
You set up the following two-point test cross: purple flowers, long pollen x red flowers, round pollen. If flower color, and pollen shape are on the same chromosome then what would you expect to see in the F2 offspring   a high number of purple/long and red/round then purple/round and red/long  
🗑
What is the basis behind the production of recombinant cells   the crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I  
🗑
How many linkage groups are present in humans   24  
🗑
What is the purpose of doing genetic mapping   to determine the linear order and distance of genes  
🗑
Why is the maximum recombination frequency 50%   50% recombination is what occurs when genes are on different chromosomes  
🗑
Why do recombination frequencies tend to underestimate true physical distance   due to multiple crossovers between a gene pair  
🗑
How do you set up a testcross   cross a heterozygote to a homozygous recessive  
🗑
The order of three genes one a chromosome is A-B-C. Genes A and B are 10 cM apart and genes B and C are 20 cM apart. From a ABC/abc individual, what is the likelihood of getting a Abc gamete   4%  
🗑
Differences in alleles and chromosomes, either among members of the same species or among different species   genetic variation  
🗑
variations in specific genes, can also occur in chromosome structure and number   allelic variations  
🗑
Scientists who studies chromosomes under a microscope   cytogeneticists  
🗑
Centromere near the middle   metacentric  
🗑
Centromere slightly off center   submetacentric  
🗑
Centromere more off center   acrocentric  
🗑
Centromere at the end   Telocentric  
🗑
Micrograph of metaphase chromosomes from a cell arranged in a standard fashion   karyotype  
🗑
Giemsa staining stains regions of high A-T bonding to produce   G bands  
🗑
Portion of chromosome missing   deletion  
🗑
Portion of chromosome repeated   duplication  
🗑
Change in direction of part of chromosome   inversion  
🗑
Two non-homologous chromosomes swap segments   translocation  
🗑
Crossover at misaligned sites on homologs   nonallelic homologous recombination  
🗑
Type of structural variation in which a DNA segment 1000 bp or larger has copy number differences in members of the same species   copy number variation  
🗑
A gene normally found in two copies in a diploid cell may be found in three or more copies   segmental duplication  
🗑
Duplications can provide additional genes leading to   gene families  
🗑
Two or more genes derived from a common ancestral gene are   homologous  
🗑
Homologous genes within a single species are called   paralogs  
🗑
Segment of chromosome that has been flipped to the opposite orientation   chromosomal inversion  
🗑
The centromere is within inverted region   pericentric inversion  
🗑
The centromere is outside the inverted region   paracentric inversion  
🗑
The breaks leading to the inversion occurs in a vital gene   breakpoints  
🗑
Gene is repositioned in a way that alters expression   position effect  
🗑
For the normal and inversion chromosome to synapse, they must form   an inversion loop  
🗑
Crossover within inversion loop can lead to   dicentric chromosomes  
🗑
2 centromeres connected by dicentric bridge   dicentric chromosomes  
🗑
Chromosome with no centromere   acentric fragments  
🗑
Single piece of chromosome is attached to another chromosome   simple translocation  
🗑
Two nonhomologous chromosomes exchange pieces   reciprocal translocation  
🗑
Ends of eukaryotic chromosomes that prevent translocations from occuring   telomeres  
🗑
Lead to rearrangement of the genetic material, not a change in the amount   balanced translocations  
🗑
Carriers of a balanced translocations are at risk of having offspring with significant portion of genetic material duplicated or missing   unbalanced translocation  
🗑
Alternate segregation   balanced  
🗑
Adjacent-1 segregation   unbalanced  
🗑
Adjacent-2 segregation   unbalanced  
🗑
What causes the most effects on phenotypes   unbalanced translocation  
🗑
Variation in the number of particular chromosomes (trisomy 2n+1, monosomy 2n-1)   Aneuploidy  
🗑
Variation in the number of complete sets of chromosomes (triploidy 3n, tetraploidy 4n)   Euploidy  
🗑
Organisms with 3 more sets are also called   polyploid  
🗑
Diploid animals that produce polyploid tissues   Endopolyploidy  
🗑
Polyploids with an odd number of chromosome sets are usually   sterile  
🗑
Failure of chromosomes to segregate properly during anaphase   nondisjunction  
🗑
Nondisjunction in meiosis I   two n+1, two n-1  
🗑
Nondisjunction in meiosis II   n+1, n-1, two normal  
🗑
All the chromosomes can undergo nondisjunction and migrate to one daughter cell   complete disjunction  
🗑
The diploid cell can participate in fertilization with a normal gamete, yielding a triploid individual   autopolyploidy  
🗑
Mitotic nondisjunction occurs after fertilization and can lead to one of the chromatids not migrating to a pole and is degraded. leads to normal and monosomic daughter   chromosome loss  
🗑
Results from interspecies crosses usually by two closely related species   allopolyploidy  
🗑
Occurs when a person has two or more genetically different sets of cells in their body   mosaicism  
🗑
Down syndrome (extra chromosome 21) is an example   trisomy  
🗑
