A man and a woman have a child with cystic fibrosis. Neither parent has cystic fibrosis. How could this happen? a) Both parents carry the cystic fibrosis allele, and each passed that allele to their child. b) The child had a spontaneous mutation on both copies of their CFTR alleles, leading to cystic fibrosis. c) One parent gave the child two copies of the cystic fibrosis CFTR allele. c) One parent gave the child a wild type CFTR allele, and the other parent gave them a cystic fibrosis CFTR gene.

A) The genetic code is almost universal.B) All flies have 2 wings.C) Eukaryotes have mitochondria.D) Prokaryotes have circular chromosomes.E) That the Theory of Pangenesis has held up to scrutiny for thousands of years What is the difference between cross and self-fertilization? A. In cross-fertilization the gametes from one plant are used to fertilize the gametes of another plantB. In cross-fertilization the gametes from one plant are used to fertilize the gametes from the same plant C. In self-fertilization the gametes from one plant are used to fertilize the gametes from another plantD. In cross-fertilization insects are used to pollinate the plants while in self-fertilization the investigator pollinates the plants
Volvox carteri, an volvocine alga, has approximately 2000 somatic cells and only 16 reproductive or germ line cells. The observation that multicellular individuals, like Volvox, have a much smaller subset of germ line cells compared to somatic cells appears to be general rule. Which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for why this is the case? A) Organisms can biologically only contain a small number of germ line cells as they are always larger than somatic cells. B) Multicellular individuals with a germ line vs. somatic cell line differentiation only evolved a single time, thus all members of this lineage share the same scheme of more soma cells with a much smaller subset of germ line cells. C) Having a smaller subset of reproductive cells helps reduce the likelihood of cheating from evolving, which in turns prevents the collapse of the multicellular individual system. D) None of the above.
A condition known as icthyosis hystrix gravior appeared in a boy in the early eighteenth century. His skin became very thick and formed loose spines that were sloughed off at intervals. When he grew up, this “porcupine man” married and had six sons, all of whom had this condition, and several daughters, all of whom were normal. For four generations, this condition was passed from father to son. From this evidence, what can you postulate about the location of the gene?
A researcher is studying the cytology of an organism with endopolyploidy. What will she expect to see?

C) Most cell types will be euploid, but some will be aneuploid. D) All cell types will be polyploid, but the number of copies will vary.

During the course of a research project you generate a gene knockout line in Arabidopsis thaliana to study the function of a gene you believe plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism. You note that the initial transformants are a bit smaller than normal. In subsequent crosses you are unable to isolate homozygotes for the knockout allele. Heterozygotes in subsequent generation are still a bit smaller than the homozygous wild type plants. Explain what is happening.
