32. 1)Autosomal Dominant- Dominant inheritance occurs when an abnormal gene from one parent causes disease even though the matching gene from the other parent is normal. Autosomal Recessive- both matching genes must be abnormal to cause disease. 2)Sex-linked Recessive- Sex-linked diseases are passed down through families through one of the X or Y chromosomes.

34. If scientists wish to add a eukaryotic gene to a bacterium in order to get the bacterium to make the eukaryotic protein, they usually produce the DNA for this gene by a.copying the mRNA for the protein with reverse transcriptase b.exposing the bacteria to mutagens and then selecting for those that make the needed protein c.isolating the correct eukaryotic gene and then removing the introns from the DNA d.ligating the string of oligonucleotides isolated from eukaryotic DNA e.sequencing the amino acids in the protein and then constructing a piece of DNA to code for them Final Jeopardy Question Click to see answer

35. A. The scientists use mRNA because it does not have introns. They use reverse transcriptase to make complementary DNA or cDNA. The cDNA is then added to the plasmid and introduced to the bacteria. Final Jeopardy Answer Click to return to Jeopardy Board
