identification of the flawed gene for Huntington's disease. - ✔✔genetic counseling
Bita and Behruz have brown eyes. Their son, Kamran, received the genetic information

observable genetic trait is known as a person's - ✔✔phenotype.

chromosome. - ✔✔X-linked

,In Mendel's original pea plant experiment, the offspring plants received genetic
information from both the green- and yellow-seeded parents. However, only the color
yellow was outwardly expressed in the offspring plants. The color yellow is an example
of a ___________ trait. - ✔✔dominant
Sara has blond hair and Ishmael has black hair. Their daughter, Susan, received genetic
information for hair color from both parents. However, outwardly Susan resembles her
father in that they both have black hair. Black hair is an example of a ___________ trait. -
✔✔dominant
The period that begins at about eight weeks after conception and continues until birth is
known as the ___________ stage. - ✔✔fetal
Dr. Driscoll conducts a test to determine whether empathy is best explained by nature
or nurture. She compares empathic responding by monozygotic twins, dizygotic twins,
and twins of both types reared apart, and their siblings (adoptive and biological). Her
findings demonstrate that children who are raised in the same home are more similar in
empathic expression than children who share genetic material. What might she
conclude? - ✔✔Empathic responding is largely the result of nurture or environmental
influences.
The interaction of factors, or ___________ transmission, is the determination of traits by
a combination of both genetic and environmental factors in which a genotype provides
a range within which a phenotype may be expressed. - ✔✔multifactorial

, Samantha and Thomas share the exact same birthday and were born to the same mother
and father. These twins share many of the same interests yet they are of different
genders. Samantha and Thomas are ___________ twins. - ✔✔dizygotic

thinking about the interaction between heredity and environment, behavior is most
likely the result of - ✔✔interaction between heredity and environment.
A physician places a man's sperm directly into a woman's vagina. This method of
fertilization is known as - ✔✔artificial insemination.

underdeveloped genitals, extreme height, and enlarged breasts is known as
___________ syndrome. - ✔✔Klinefelter's
Psychological disorders have been linked in part to genetic factors. If one monozygotic
twin is schizophrenic the other twin ____. - ✔✔has an increased chance of also being
schizophrenic
Sasha has blue eyes and Hans has gray eyes. Their son, Antonio, received the genetic
information for eye color from both of his parents, even though you cannot determine
Antonio's actual genetic makeup from the color of his eyes. Antonio's actual genetic
information is known as his - ✔✔genotype
