Question: To perform an epistasis test, we would cross two mutants with the same phenotype and observe their progeny. A neomorphic mutation results in an allele

To perform an epistasis test, we would cross two mutants with the same phenotype and observe their progeny.
A neomorphic mutation results in an allele that produces a novel protein or causes inappropriate expression resulting in a new phenotype.
q, The wildtype version of one type of gene involved in cancer is called a proto-oncogene and the mutant version is called an oncogene.
The wildtype versions of tumor suppressor genes inhibit the cell cycle and gain of function mutations can contribute to cancer progression.
A mutation in a non-coding region of a gene will never produce a mutant phenotype.
Most human traits are monogenic, or controlled by a single gene.
q, Dihybrid crosses involving two genes in a biochemical pathway with similar colored intermediates will produce progeny with a phenotypic ratio of 9 organisms with the wildtype phenotype to 7 organisms with the mutant phenotype.
In a monogenic cross involving two alleles that are co-dominant, the phenotypic ratio does not match the genotypic ratio.
q, In determining blood type, the IA and IB alleles are co-dominant and the H gene is epistatic to the I gene.
q, Genomic libraries are different than cDNA libraries in that genomic libraries contain non-coding DNA, such as promoter and introns.
