5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Describe how chromosomes carry genes and how they segregate and assort independently during meiosis.
  • Discuss how changes in chromosome number or structure can lead to genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Turner syndrome.
  • Explain how linked genes on the same chromosome can be inherited together and how recombination can separate linked genes, influencing inheritance patterns.
