1. True or false

True

False

2. True or false. If my animal has the mutation for JRD, then that is the only defect that he/she has

True

False

3. Chromosomes are:

made of protein, and reside in pairs in the nucleus

made of DNA, and reside in the nucleus in pairs (one from the sire and one from the dam)

The basic unit of inheritance

The products that are coded for by DNA

5. Dogs have

39

78

19

Pairs of chromosomes

6. In order have a genetic disease for a recessive mutation the animal must

have only one bad copy of a gene

have two bad copies of a gene

7. My dog is a carrier of the mutation that causes JRD. This means that

he/she should be eliminated from my breeding program.

he/she should be bred with a partner whose traits complement my animal, and that all of the offspring should be tested

to determine if clear puppies have been produced to continue to enhance my breeding program.

8. JRD is inherited as:

a simple recessive trait
