baldness
◉ What is true of autosomal recessive inheritance? Answer: Males
and females are effected equally
◉ At the end of telophase, what event occurs? Answer: Two
daughter cells have been formed
◉ Cytokines are chemicals transmitted within and between cells to
control and regulate cell what? Answer: Growth
◉ Each living organism uses different genetic building blocks (i.e.,
DNA bases) to specify proteins. True/False Answer: False
◉ DNA structure is demonstrated by the double-helix model.
True/False Answer: True
◉ There are four types of nitrogenous bases. True/False Answer:
True
◉ Of the nitrogenous bases, adenine pairs with cytosine and guanine
pairs with thymine. True/False Answer: False
,◉ The body contains 20 different types of amino acids. These are
specified with different combinations of the bases occurring in
groups of three. True/False Answer: True- these triplets of bases are
known as codons
◉ In each human cell there are normally 23 pairs of chromosomes in
which genetic information is stored. True/False Answer: True
◉ The 23rd pair of chromosomes contains the pair of sex
chromosomes. True/False Answer: True
◉ A male child receives the Y chromosome from his mother and the
X chromosome from his father. True/False Answer: False

True/False Answer: False- meiosis
◉ What is of the risk is associated with Huntington disease? Answer:
Risk of affected parent and unaffected parent having an affected
offspring = 50%
◉ What is the risk associated with cystic fibrosis? Answer: Risk of
parents who are unaffected but are both carriers having an affected
offspring = 25%
, ◉ What is the risk associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
Answer: Risk that a son of a mother who is carrier and a father who
is unaffected will have the disease = 50%; risk that a daughter from
this mating will have the disease = 0%
