QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
white blood cells. ANSWER -Karyotyping is typically done by isolating ________
from a person, staining them, and taking pictures under a microscope
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.. ANSWER -Describe Sickle Cell Anemia
- Easy to grow and breed
- Self-fertilizing
- Easy to cross-breed. ANSWER -Why did Mendel use a pea plant for his studies?
monohybrid. ANSWER -A __________ cross occurs when two pure individual
parental strains are mated that contrast ONLY in the trait that is being observed
P1. ANSWER -In genetics, _______ refers to the original parental generation
F1 , first filial generation. ANSWER -The first set of offspring from the parents
are called the ___ generation, which stands for ______________.
