Question 1

Random segregation of organelles during cell division in a multicellular species is likely to result in an increased rate of which of the following?
◦ incomplete penetrance
◦ dominant loss-of-function mutations
◦ dominant gain-of-function mutations
◦ chromosomal duplication mutations
◦ chromosomal deletion mutations

Question 2

Sigma virus infection in Drosophila melanogaster causes flies to become paralyzed and then die in high concentrations of CO2.  The virus is passed on extrachromosomally. Two isogenic strains of Drosophila cultures are maintained: R (resistant to COor wild type) and S (susceptible to CO2, infected with sigma). After crosses between male R and female S flies, subsets of offspring of each sex are tested for CO2 sensitivity. Which of the following results do you expect?
◦ All the offspring are sensitive.
◦ All the offspring are female.
◦ All the offspring are male.
◦ All the offspring are sensitive, but only males pass it on.
◦ Only male offspring backcrossed to the female parent are sensitive.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
