Question 1
The part of the DNA molecule that does not function as genes, but that can influence how genes work is referred to as __________
◦ polygenetic forces
◦ recombinant processes
◦ epigenetic forces
◦ meta-genetic forces
Question 2
The primary reason that sex-linked traits are observed more frequently in men than in women is that:
◦ mutations are much more common in male offspring
◦ male babies are weaker so are more likely to be spontaneously aborted if any developmental process is compromised
◦ the Y chromosome is much smaller and has fewer genes than the X chromosome
◦ women generally do not talk about sex-related behavior as much as do men
