Which of the following hunger response hormones decreases appetite but increases digestion?
Even though Mendel’s laws are very helpful to understanding genetics, simple mendelian genetics does not explain well most of genetics because;
Daughters can inherit sex linked recessive disease if:
A color blind father married to a non-color blind mom (non-carrier of colorblindness) can produce a color blind son.
In mother’s who are carriers for colorblindness even though they are not color blind some of their individual eye cone cells can express the trait. Also in female Calico cats the genes which produce color are found on the X chromosome and each hair cell expresses one X allele or the other giving rise to a random pattern of color in their fur. In both cases this is an example of:
A mutation in the LDL receptor gene can cause a dramatic rise in serum cholesterol.

This famous discoverer of the DNA structure made racist comments in the 1990s based on the idea that certain people groups were biologically inferior.
Simple mendelian single gene genetics explains skin color.
Biologically gender is determined genetically at;
In general there is no male-to male transmission of X-linked traits.
Which of the following is true about homosexuality?
For treatment of heart disease statin drugs are used to;
The mechanism of genomic imprinting involves:
At the chromosome levels males are homogametic.
The human male is considered hemizygous for X-linked traits, because he only has one set of X-linked genes.

Epigenetics plays a role in controlling weight gain as shown in experiments with genetically determined obese mice. Obese female mice were able to decrease obesity in their offspring by eating a diet rich in:
In general there is no male-to male transmission of X-linked traits.
Research studies which try to show a physiological or genetic basis for homosexuality have focused on a gene called Xq28 and the size of a certain brain region.

In the U.S. the “sex ratio” of males to females drops significantly from birth to age 65.
The mechanism of genomic imprinting involves:
Body weight is controlled primarily by one gene.
