KROK 1 2014 – Question 120 · KROK (Medicine) · Biology
A female suffered rubella during pregnancy. The child was born with developmental abnormalities, namely cleft lip and palate. The child’s genotype is normal. These malformations are a manifestation of:
- A. Combinative variability
- B. Polyploidy
- C. Modification variability
- D. Aneuploidy
- E. Chromosomal mutation
Hint
Note that the genotype is normal; think about what kind of factor, acting during development, can change the phenotype without altering the genetic material.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
