11. Sex determination in mammals is due to the SRY gene found on the Y chromosome. Which of the following situations could allow a person with an XX karyotype to develop a male phenotype? (A) the loss of the SRY gene from an autosome (B) translocation of SRY to an X chromosome (C)the presence of an extra autosomal chromosome (D) the presence of one normal and one shortened (deleted) X chromosome (E)None of the above.

12. What is the main advantage of the C4 and CAM photosynthesis strategies over the C3 strategy? (A) They help the plant conserve water and synthesize glucose efficiently under hot, dry conditions. (B) They allow the plant to fix carbon more efficiently under conditions of low atmospheric CO2. (C)They allow the plant to fix carbon more efficiently in dim or cool conditions.
