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.
4. Based on the information presented, which of the following genes is linked to the neurofibromatosis gene?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is G
Explanation
Looking at table 2, Neurofibromatosis is on chromosome 17;
Looking back at figure 1, there is a growth hormone gene on this chromosome.
