1、1. Panacin is a hypothetical drug that you are testing in a large population. You find a continuous dose-response curve in the population. If youre interested in studying genetic variation that contributes to panacin response, what does this suggest to you?(9.0分)A.One gene has a major effect on the

2、response to panacin.B.The number of genes involved equals the number of peaks in the dose-response curve.C.There is a threshold of response controlled by a major gene.D.There are likely to be multiple genes involved in the response to panacin.E.There are likely to be multiple genes involved in the r

3、esponse to panacin.2. Wich of the following best explains variable expression in mitochondrial diseases?(9.0分)A.locus heterogeneityB.heterozygosityC.heteroplasmyD.modifierlociE.imprinting3. Marsha is heteroplasmic for a MELAS mutation. What feature of oogenesis most strongly influences the level of

4、mtDNA mutation she will pass to her children, which would influence the clinical expression of disease?(9.0分)A.The small number of mitotic divisions during oogenesisB.The long time that elapses between the beginning and the end of oogenesisC.The mitochondrial genetic bottleneck 线粒体遗传瓶颈D.Energy requi

5、rements in the oocyte that influence natural selection for mtDNA mutationsE.The low fitness of mtDNA mutations in the oocyte4. Some tissues are affected by mitochondrial mutations more severely than others. One would expect these tissues would have a high requirement for which of the following?(9.0分

6、)A.ProteinB.MacromoleculartransportC.Metabolic energyD.BloodflowE.Freeradicals5. Relative to nuclear DNA, the mutation rate of midochondrial DNA is:(9.0分)A.Apparently lower, due to the number of copies of mtDNA per cellB.Approximately equalC.Higher, due to limitations in DNA repair capabilitiesD.Low

7、er, due to protection of the mitochondria from environmental insults6. Sara has mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Her genetic counselor tells her that it is very difficult to predict the severity of the syndrome in any affected children that she will have. What proper

8、ty of mitochondrial mutations, which is distinct from nuclear mutations, explains this variability in the expression of mitochondrial mutations?(9.0分)A.mutation heteroplasmyB.incomplete dominanceC.pleiotropyD.epistasisE.the lack of DNA repair enzymes in mitochondria7. A child is hospitalized with an

Which of the following represents the frequency of sickle cell carriers in the same population?(9.0分)A.0.002B.0.045C.0.086D.0.5E.0.9558. If the incidence of cysti

Some autosomal recessive diseases have a high prevalence in large populations, even though they are often fatal (e.g., sickle cell disease in Africans, cystic fibrosis in Europeans). Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this phenom

The onset was less than 6 months ago and has progressed rapidly. The pedigree you construct of the probands family reveals vision loss in the patients mother, all her five siblings, and the probands maternal grandmother. You
