This phenomenon is observed when a heterozygote has its own distinct intermediate phenotype compared to homozygotes.
What is incomplete dominance?
100
If genes are co-inherited more often than independent assortment can explain, they are said to be this.
What is linked?
100
When an organism with a dominant phenotype mates with an organism with a recessive phenotype, this type of cross has occurred.
What is testcross?
100
This is a technique used to amplify specific regions of DNA. (abbreviations not acceptable)
What is polymerase chain reaction?
100
This type of mutation does not change the amino acid sequence of the gene product.
What is silent mutation? (Acceptable: synonymous substitution)
200
The "F" in F1, F2, etc. stands for this.
What is filial?
200
UV radiation causes this specific type of mutation.
What is pyrimidine (thymine) dimers?
200
This is the process by which a chromosome in female mammals is silenced, leading to genetic mosaicism.
What is X-inactivation?
200
This is the term used to describe the phenomenon whereby an organism has an abnormal number of chromosomes.
What is aneuploidy?
200
A -> T is an example of this type of mutation.
What is a transversion?
300
This is the number of genes required to be observed in order to detect a double crossover.
What is three?
300
G -> A is an example of this type of mutation.
What is transition?
300
Base analogs are fall into this broad class of mutations.
What is exogenous?
300
This is an expression that calculated by dividing the recombination frequency by the physical distance.
What is recombination rate?
300
Most cancers originate in this type of cell.
What is somatic?
400
When a single functional copy of a gene is not enough to bring about the wild-type phenotype, this phenomenon is said to be observed.
What is haploinsufficiency?
400
When comparing the coding regions of a gene present in two species:
If the nonsynonymous substitution rate is greater than the synonymous substitution rate, then this is likely occurring.
What is positive selection?
400
A LacI loss-of-function mutant would result in this pattern of gene expression in E. coli.
What is constitutive?
400
In complementation testing, the number of these is equal to the number of complementation groups.
What is genes?
400
Illumina sequencing uses this special type of base analog (three words).
What is fluorescent reversible terminator?
500
The Messelsohn-Stahl experiment proved that DNA replication is this.
What is semiconservative?
500
A dihybrid cross is performed, and a 9:3:4 ratio is observed, so it is concluded that this phenomenon is occurring (two words).
What is recessive epistasis?
500
Pyrosequencing relies on this enzyme to generate photons from pyrophosphate.
What is ATP sulfurylase, luciferase, or apyrase?
500
LacO (operator sequence) is this type of regulatory element.
What is cis?
500
You would use this type of test to determine if different mutant strains contain mutations in the same or different genes involved in a particular metabolic pathway.
