CHAPTER 1: Overview of Genetics
Note: the answers to the Comprehension Questions are at the end of the chapter.
Concept Check Questions (in figure legends)
FIGURE 1. 1
Understanding our genes may help with diagnoses of inherited diseases. It may
also lead to the development of drugs to combat diseases. Other answers are
possible.
FIGURE 1. 2
Many ethical issues are associated with human cloning. Is it the wrong thing to do? Does it conflic
an
individual’s religious views? And so on.
FIGURE 1. 3
Because females mate only once, sorting out the male mosquitoes and releasing sterile
males into the environment can limit mosquito reproduction.
FIGURE 1. 4
DNA is a
macromolecule.
FIGURE 1. 5
DNA and proteins are found in chromosomes. A small amount of RNA may also be
associated with chromosomes when transcription is occurring, and as discussed in
Chapter 18, some non-coding RNAs may bind to chromosomes.
FIGURE 1.6
The information to make a polypeptide is stored
in DNA. FIGURE 1. 7
The dark-colored butterfly has a more active pigment-
, producing enzyme. FIGURE 1. 8
Genetic variation is the reason the frogs look
different. FIGURE 1. 9
These are examples of variation in chromosome
number. FIGURE 1. 10
If this girl had been given a standard diet, she would have developed the harmful
symptoms of PKU, which include mental impairment and foul-smelling urine.
