Question 1: The observable traits expressed by an organism are
described as its:
A. Zygote
B. Alleles
C. Genotype
D. Phenotype
Answer:
Phenotype
Question 2: Half of the gametes produced by an organism with the
genotype Aa will receive the A allele, while half will receive the a
allele. This is a demonstration of:
A. independent assortment
B. mutation
C. random fertilization
D. segregation
Answer:
segregation
Question 3: Which of the following is true about genes that are
located on different chromosomes?
A. These genes are inherited independently of each other.
B. Only the dominant alleles of these genes tend to be inherited
together.
, C. These genes are always inherited together.
D. These genes are more likely to undergo mutation.
Answer:
These genes are inherited independently of each other.
Question 4: A recessive trait will be observed in individuals that are
homozygous for that trait.
Answer:
homozygous
Question 5: What are the types of gametes that can be produced by
an individual with the genotype AaBb?
A. Aa, Bb
B. AA, aa, BB, bb
C. AB, Ab, aB, ab
D. AB, ab
Answer:
AB, Ab, aB, ab
Question 6: How many different types of gametes could an
organism with the genotype AABbCc produce?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
E. 8
Answer:
4
,Question 7: Genetic inheritance is being studied in a certain
species of plant in which orange flower color (O) is dominant to
white (o) and round leaf shape (S) is dominant to oval (s). A
true-breeding orange-flowered, round-leaved male plant (Plant A) is
mated with a true-breeding white-flowered, oval-leaved female plant
(Plant B) to produce dihybrid offspring plant (Plant C). Assuming
normal Mendelian genetics and independent inheritance of these
two traits, which gametes might be produced by Plant C?
A. OoSs
B. OS
C. oS
D. Both OS and oS
E. Both OoSs and OS
Answer:
Both OS and oS
Question 8: Daughter cells produced by mitosis:
A. are genetically identical to the parent cell
B. are only created in females
C. divide the cytoplasm into four parts
D. cause cancer
Answer:
are genetically identical to the parent cell
Question 9: Besides growth, what must happen before a cell
divides?
A. The cytoplasm divides into four parts
B. Gene mutation
, C. Cancer
D. DNA replication
Answer:
DNA replication
Question 10: The division of the cytoplasm following mitosis to
form two new cells is called?
A. Mitosis
B. Cytokinesis
C. Cancer
D. Tumor supression
Answer:
Cytokinesis
Question 11: Which of the following is the correct order of events in
mitosis?
A. - Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate. The kinetochore
becomes attached to the mitotic spindle. The nucleus reforms and the
cell divides. Cohesin proteins break down and the sister chromatids
separate.
B. - The kinetochore becomes attached to the mitotic spindle.
