The Modern Study of Human Genetics

Multiple Choice Questions

1. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) refers to:A. an error in the genetic code involving the replacement of multiple proteins by a single proteinB. the presence of only a single allele of a geneC. an error in the genetic code involving a single change of a nucleotide at a particular pointD. the presence of a dominant allele and a recessive allele of a single gene

2. How many major alleles does the ABO blood-type system have?A. oneB. twoC. threeD. fourE. more than four

3. The hemoglobin molecule is composed of four chains of amino acids: two alpha chains and two beta chains. The start of the code of the beta chain is GTGCACCTGACTCCTGAG. This codes for the first six amino acids of this chain: valine-histidine-leucine-threonine-proline-glutamic acid. If a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) occurs in the code for glutamic acid, which of the following will be a consequence of the SNP?A. it will result in a different amino acid replacing glutamic acidB. it will result in glutamic acid replacing all six amino acids at the start of the beta chainC. it will result in the amino acids present after glutamic acid in the beta chain being replaced by different amino acidsD. it will result in glutamic acid replacing all amino acids in the beta chain

8. Which of the following is true of Huntington’s disease?A. it is a result of excessive GGG repeatsB. it is a result of excessive CAG repeatsC. it is inherited in a codominant patternD. it is inherited in a recessive pattern

9. A Punnett square is a grid used in genetics to:A. show the genotypes and their probabilities of a particular gene in a matingB. show the probability of occurrence of the actual phenotypes for a particular geneC. calculate the frequency of a genetic abnormality in a populationD. calculate the frequency of a particular phenotype in a population

10. A child is diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease. Both the father and mother are carriers (heterozygous for the disorder). Using the Punnett square, it can be estimated that the probability of them having a phenotypically normal child is:A. 1/4B. 2/4C. 3/4D. 4/4

11. A couple has a child who is diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease. Both the father and mother are carriers (heterozygous for the disorder). Using the Punnett square, it can be estimated that the probability of them having a child with Tay-Sachs disease is:A. 1/4B. 2/4C. 3/4D. 4/4

14. In the context of deviations from Mendelian genetics, polygenic inheritance refers to:A. a specific trait being influenced by more than one geneB. both alleles being expressed in a heterozygous genotypeC. three or more alleles existing for a specific geneD. a gene altering the expression of another gene
