Question

Which of the following does not result in variations among siblings?

  1. Independent assortment of genes

  2. Crossing over

  3. Linkage

  4. Mutation

hintHint:

The genes are closely related when the linkage occurs

The correct answer is:

Linkage


    • The proximity of genes or other DNA sequences to each other on the same chromosome.
    • The closer two genes or sequences are on the chromosome, the more likely they are to be inherited together.

    Hemophilia disease is produced in the male by how many gene/s?

    • Genetic disorders can be chromosomal, multifactorial and monogenic
    • Hemophilia is a blood disorder that delays blood clotting or hemostasis
    • Blood clotting is a result of cascade of reactions done by clotting factors (1 to 12)
    • Absence of clotting factor VIII or IX causes hemophilia
    • Gene (F8 or F9) responsible for hemophilia is present in X chromosome

    How do genetic disorders happen?

    • Genetic disorder is due to alteration in gene sequence
    • The gene sequence change can occur in a cell irrespective of type of cell division a cell undergoes
    • Mutation can occur at any point of cell division
    • Trisomy can be attributed as a result of meiosis
