125–129. Note that you need to know that the sequence of amino acids directly reflects the sequence of genes that coded for their placement. a. an inversion b. a deletion c. a gene duplication d. a translocation e. an addition D 125. Homologous sets of genes ABCDEF and aBCdEF are located on nonhomologous chromosomes. Crossing over between them is suppressed because their locations are the result of this. D 126. Homologous sets of genes ABCDEF and AEDCBF are located on homologous chromosomes. Crossing over between them is suppressed because of this. D 127. A small region of a protein from three species is sequenced and found to be as follows:species X is alanine, glycine, glycine, threonine, alanine species Y is alanine, glycine, threonine, alanine species Z is alanine, valine, glycine, threonine, alanine The difference in the amino acid sequence of species Y is most likely due to this. Chapter 12 Chromosomes and Human Inheritance 127 D 128. A small region of a protein from three species is sequenced and found to be as follows:species X is alanine, valine, threonine, alanine species Y is alanine, glycine, threonine, alanine species Z is alanine, valine, glycine, threonine, alanine The difference in the amino acid sequence of species Z is most likely due to this. D 129. The nucleotide sequences of homologous regions of DNA of two species are AATGCCCCGTTA and AATGCCCCGCTTA. If this is not the result of a nucleotide base-pair addition, then it is most likely the result of this.
