10. Craig has erythrocytosis because a. he smokes too much. b. he is a dizygotic twin to an affected individual. e. he is a monozygotic twin to an affected individual. d. he works out 2 hours per day. e. he has had toco many blood transfusions. 11. The probability that a child of Caden or Jaden inherits their two mutations is a zero, because they acquired the traits through exercise. because the traits are recessive. b. 44 16 C. 4 because the probability of transmitting each trait is , and the genes are on different chromosomes. because the myostatin mutation is autosomal recessive and erythrocytosis d. 4 2 8 is autosomal dominant. because each twin (Caden and Jaden) has two recessive mutant alleles that e. cause myostatin deficiency (probability of I of transmitting it) and one allele that causes erythrocytosis (probability of - of transmitting it). Ix= 12. The wild type function of the myostatin gene is to a. stimulate stem cell self-renewal and differentiation as muscle. b. inhibit stem cell self-renewal and differentiation as muscle. c. stimulate progenitor cell self-renewal and differentiation as kidney. d. inhibit progenitor cell self-renewal and differentiation as kidney. e. count the number of muscle fibers in a muscle cell. 13. A local newspaper does a story on Caden and Jaden and their inherited athletic abilities. Soon the Ciceros are flooded with e-mails from people asking about using EPO and myostatin supplements to increase their athletic prowess, too. A possible danger of taking supplements is that a the substances would disqualify them from Olympic competition if detected. b. EPO could affect the composition of the blood. C. excess myostatin could damage heart muscle. 10.
