Concepts of Genetics Chapter 4 Exam Bank Solution Manual Graded A+
gene interaction - Answers production of novel phenotypes by the interaction of alleles of different
genes
X-linkage - Answers the pattern of inheritance resulting from genes located on the X chromosome
allele - Answers one of the possible alternate forms of a gene, often distinguished from other alleles by
phenotypic effects
loss-of-function mutation - Answers mutations that produce alleles that encode proteins with reduced
or no function
null allele - Answers a mutant allele that produces no functional gene product. Usually inherited as a
recessive trait
gain-of-function mutation - Answers a mutation the prouices a phenotype different from that of the
normal allele and from any loss of function alleles
neutral mutation - Answers a mutation with no immediate adaptive significance or phenotypic effect
incomplete/partial dominance - Answers expressing a heterozygous phenotype that is distinct from the
phenotype of either homozygous parent
codominance - Answers condition in which the phenotypic effects of a gene's alleles are fully and
simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote
multiple alleles - Answers in a population of organisms, the presence of three or more alleles of the
same gene
H substance - Answers the carbohydrate group present on the surface of red blood cells to which the A
and/or B anitgen may be added. When unmodified, it results in the blood type O.
Bombay phenotype - Answers a rare variant of the ABO antigen system in which affected individuals do
not have A or B antigens and thus appear to have blood type O, even though their genotype may carry
unexpressed alleles for the A and/or B antigens
lethal gene - Answers a gene whose expression results in premature death of the organism at some
stage of its life cycle
epigenesis - Answers the idea that an organism or organ arises through the sequencial appearance and
development of new structures, in contrast to preformationism, which holds that development is the
result of the assembly of structures already present in the egg
epistasis - Answers nonreciprocal interaction between nonallelic genes such that one gene influences or
interferes with the expression of another gene, leading to a specific phenotype
