about medications for a given patient. correct answers >>
False
All of the following are TRUE about the PTC taste test conducted
in class EXCEPT:
The ability to taste bitterness is inherited.
The ability to taste bitterness is the genotype.
The ability to taste bitterness is related to having one of 2 alleles.
The ability to taste bitterness is the phenotype. correct
answers >> The ability to taste bitterness is the genotype
True or False? A haplotype is a combination of SNPs (for different
genes) that are located closely together on the same
chromosome and tend to be inherited together. correct
answers >> True
True or False? A codon is a section of DNA or RNA that is 3
nucleotide pairs in length that codes for a single amino acid.
