fraternal twins

conjoined twins

concordant twins

twins

A common name for DZ twins is:

identical twins

fraternal twins

conjoined twins

cloned

twins

MZ twins have higher ______ due to the same genotypes and because they are usually brought up in the same _____.

correlation coefficients; environment

twins

A key factor in "turning off" a gene is with the process of adding a (CH3) group. This process is called:

Acetylation

Methylation

Histone de-acetylation

Histone deactivation

epigenetics

How does polyploidy differ from aneuploidy?

Polyploidy involves diploid chromosome sets, while aneuploidy involves haploid sets.

Polyploidy involves multiples of haploid set greater than 2n, aneuploidy involves less than a diploid set of chromosomes.

Polyploidy involves monosomy, aneuploidy involves trisomy.

Polyploidy is produced by translocations, aneuploidy by nondisjunction.

Chromosome abnormalities

The two most common types of polyploidy in humans are:

trisomy and aneuploidy

triploidy and haploidy

triploidy and tetraploidy

tetraploidy and diploidy

Chromosome abnormalities

In dosage compensation, females have the same amount of X-linked gene products as males. This is brought about by:

loss of one X chromosome from all somatic cell in females

accelerated production by genes on the Y chromosome

lowered rate of synthesis by genes on the X chromosome

inactivation of one X chromosome in all somatic cells of females

Gender differences

It would be possible for a Klinefelter (XXY) cat to have tortoise shell color.

True

False

Dosage compensation

The nitrogen base most vulnerable to mutation is:

Adenine

Cytosine

Thymine

Guanine

Gene mutations

Abnormal chromosome numbers generally signified as 2N-1 or 2N+1 are referred to as:

Diploid

Haploid

Polyploid

Aneuploid

cance and chromosomes

Humans have ______ DIFFERENT kinds of chromosomes.

24

23

46

48

chromosome analysis

A chromosome content of 2N-1 is called:

trisomy

monosomy

disomy

tetrasomy

chromosome amounts

Triplo-X (XXX syndrome), causes little change in phenotype due to the formation of:

Barr bodies

tetrads

homologues

nucleosomes

nondisjunctive disorders
