Passage I
Diploid human cells contain 46 chromosomes. Genes residing on the same chromosome are linked. Figure 1 shows the location of the some genes in humans.
Figure 1 adapted from Susan Offner, "Human Chromosomes." @1992 by Susan Offner.
Table 1 lists the biological process associated with some of the genes in Figure 1.
Table 2 lists 7 genetic diseases, the chromosome associated with each disease, and the mode of inheritance for each disease.
1. According to Figure 1 and Table 1, Chromosome 13 contains a gene associated with which of the following biological activities?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Look at figure 1 first, there is ribosomal RNA gene on chromosome 13; then look at table 1, the function of ribosomal RNA gene in the last line is protein synthesis.
