In each generation of this family after generation I, the age at diagnosis is significantly lower
than would be found in nonfamilial (sporadic) cases of this cancer (~63 years). What is the most
likely reason?
A) Members of this family know to be checked for colon cancer early in life.
B) Hereditary (or familial) cases of this cancer typically occur at earlier ages than do nonfamilial
forms.
C) This is pure chance; it would not be expected if you were to look at a different family.
D) This cancer requires mutations in more than this one gene.
E) Affected members of this family are born with colon cancer, and it can be detected whenever
they are first tested.
Answer: B

From this pedigree, how does this trait seem to be inherited?
A) from mothers
B) as an autosomal recessive
C) as a result of epistasis
D) as an autosomal dominant
E) as an incomplete dominant

(cancer specialist) whether she can know whether any or all of her children will have a high risk
of the same cancer. The doctor would be expected to advise which of the following?

II. prenatal diagnosis when/if she becomes pregnant
III. testing to see whether she has the allele
IV. testing to see whether her future spouse or partner has the allele
A) I only
B) II only
C) I, II, and IV only
D) I, II, and III only

Labrador retrievers are black, brown, or yellow. In a cross of a black female with a brown male,
results can be either all black puppies, 1/2 black to 1/2 brown puppies, or 3/4 black to 1/4 yellow
puppies.

These results indicate which of the following?
A) Brown is dominant to black.
B) Black is dominant to brown and to yellow.
C) Yellow is dominant to black.
D) There is incomplete dominance.
E) Epistasis is involved.

How many genes must be responsible for these coat colors in Labrador retrievers?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) 5

In one type cross of black × black, the results were as follows:
9/16 black

3/16 brown
The genotype eebb must result in which of the following?
A) black
B) brown
C) yellow
D) a lethal result
E) white

Radish flowers may be red, purple, or white. A cross between a red-flowered plant and a white-
flowered plant yields all-purple offspring. The part of the radish we eat may be oval or long, with
long being the dominant trait.

If true-breeding red long radishes are crossed with true-breeding white oval radishes, the F1
will be expected to be which of the following?
A) red and long
B) red and oval
C) white and long
D) purple and long
E) purple and oval

A) a multiple allelic system
B) sex linkage
C) codominance
D) incomplete dominance
E) epistasis

Drosophila (fruit flies) usually have long wings (+), but mutations in two different genes can
result in bent wings (bt) or vestigial wings (vg).

A) all +bt +vg heterozygotes
B) 1/2 bent and 1/2 vestigial flies
C) all homozygous + flies
D) 3/4 bent to 1/4 vestigial ratio

Tallness (T) in snapdragons is dominant to dwarfness (t), and red (R) flower color is dominant to
