1. Given that a patient is a carrier of a genetic disease, why must this patient always be heterozygous and can never be homozygous?
2. Color blindness in a male is inherited only from his mother, but color blindness in a female is inherited from both of her parents. Explain.
3. Describe nondisjunction and identify why it is so genetically significant.
4. Identify three (3) genetic disorders caused by nondisjunction. Explain why.
5. Identify any one (1) genetic disorder not caused by nondisjunction. Explain why.
6). Given that Phenylketonuria (PKU) is inherited as a recessive trait. What is the chance for two heterozygous parents to have a phenylalanine-sensitive child? Explain.
7). Given a mating between a non-hemophiliac male & a heterozygous female what is the probability for a hemophiliac female child? Explain.
8). Given a mating between an albino male & a carrier female, what is the probability for a child who is a carrier for albinism? Explain.
9). Given that brown eyes are dominant, what is the probability for two heterozygous parents to have a blue-eyed child? Explain.
10). If a karyotype is to be constructed for a patient, would a cell in metaphase of the cell cycle be more useful than a cell in interphase of the cell cycle? Explain why.
11). Describe the procedural differences between mitosis & meiosis and why mitosis & meiosis are genetically important.
12). Describe some reasonable theories for the different functions of hair located in these diverse body regions:
- Eyebrows
- Eyelashes
- Scalp
13). How do merocrine & apocrine sweat glands differ in their structure and in their function? Explain.
14). It is important for the epidermis to be effective at screening UV radiation, but not to be too effective. Explain.
15). Your patient asks you which cell type in the skin is the most important cell and why? How would you reply? Explain.
16). Describe the stages of intramembranous ossification and name at least one (1) bone that is formed using this process.
17). Describe the stages of endochondral ossification and name at least one (1) bone that is formed using this process.

Think of a definable action you perform in your daily life that
requires more than one direction to complete the task. An example
would be swinging and releasing a bowling ball (do not use this
example).
a) Identify the primary joints involved.
b) Separate the action into at least 5 steps/stages (the direction
of movement could be useful to categorize the steps).
c) Within each step/stage, identify the muscles that contribute to
the respective motion at each joint.

I have to write about dopamine
- I should talk about its synthesis- (physiologic mechanisms and drugs or foods affecting them);
- storage in vesicles (physiology-like the name of the pump for storage and drugs, toxins or foods that interferes with it);
-its release-physiology and drugs or toxins that interfere;
-the termination of effect in the synapse (physiology-like enzymatic breakage or re-uptake
-about the drugs that affect the process -and its receptors of these neurotransmitters and drugs acting on these receptors -
refer them as agonists and antagonists for relevant receptors).
I still have 4 more, I will post the questions individually
no need for figures if everything I asked for is explained.
