Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is an autosomal dominant disorder?

💡 Hint: Think about if one or both mutated genes are needed for the disorder.

Question 2

Easy

Give an example of an X-linked recessive disorder.

💡 Hint: Consider a condition affecting males primarily because of their unique chromosome setup.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the inheritance pattern of an autosomal dominant disorder?

  • It requires mutations in both genes
  • Only one mutated gene is required
  • It skips generations

💡 Hint: Consider how many genes need to be mutated for the disorder to show.

Question 2

True or False: X-linked recessive disorders can be passed from father to son.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the inheritance pattern based on male and female chromosomes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a father with an X-linked recessive disorder and a mother who is normal, determine the potential genotypes of their daughters and sons.

💡 Hint: Consider the X-chromosome inheritance pattern.

Question 2

Two parents have a 25% chance of having a child with cystic fibrosis when both are carriers. What is the probability that their first child will be unaffected?

💡 Hint: Apply the rule of multiplication for probabilities.
