,1. (Fill In The Blank – Multiple Choice)
Karyotyping Is Typically Done By Isolating ________ From A Person, Staining Them,
And Taking Pictures Under A Microscope
A) Red Blood Cells
B) White Blood Cells
C) Platelets
D) Neurons
Explanation: White Blood Cells Contain Nuclei With Chromosomes, Which Are Needed
For Karyotyping.
2. (Short Answer)
Describe Sickle Cell Anemia
ANSWER.
People Who Inherit A Mutant Copy Of The Β-Globulin Protein From Both Parents Have
Sickle-Cell Anemia. The Mutant Β-Globulin Causes The Hemoglobin Within Red Blood
Cells To Distort When The Oxygen In The Blood Is Low, And In Fact, Deforms The Cell
Shape So Much That The Distorted Cells Break Very Easily. In Turn, The Loss Of The
Broken Cells Lowers The Total Number Of Red Blood Cells, Resulting In Anemia
In Addition, The Odd Shape Of The Red Blood Cells Actually Causes Blockages In
Small Blood Vessels, Which Causes Pain And Damage To The Brain, Heart, Muscles,
And Kidneys. The Condition Is Especially Exacerbated Under Atmospheric Conditions
Where Oxygen Is Lower, So People With Sickle-Cell Anemia Can Become Extremely
Sick At High Altitudes.
3. (Explain/Describe)

,ANSWER.
Easy To Grow And Breed
Self-Fertilizing
Easy To Cross-Breed

The Term _____________ Is Used To Describe The Physical Manifestation Of Any Trait
A) Genotype
B) Allele
C) Phenotype
D) Locus

8. (Short Answer)
In The Second Generation Of A Heterozygous Monohybrid Cross, What Percentage Of
The Offspring Have The Dominant Phenotype? Recessive?
ANSWER.
75%, 25%
The Ratio Is 3:1
9. (Define)

ANSWER.
A Gene Is Defined As A Unit Of Heredity That Is Transferred From A Parent To
Offspring And Is Held To Determine Some Characteristic Of The Offspring
