BIOL 133 Final Exam questions with correct
answers
the process of change in allele frequencies that occurs entirely from chance (changes in gene
frequencies that occur when small groups of individuals are reproductively separated from a
larger population) - verified answers; genetic drift
What are the steps of the scientific method? - verified answers; 1. Ask a Question /
Observation
2. Do Background Research
3. Construct a Hypothesis
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
6. Report Your Results
judging the rightness or wrongness of an act by characteristics of act itself - apart from its
consequences
(ex. "thou shalt not kill".. so euthanasia and abortion simply are not allowed) - verified
answers; Deontological System
Judging the rightness or wrongness of an act on the basis of its consequences
(ex. the choice that yields the greatest benefit to the most people is the choice that is
ethically correct - euthanasia and abortion are permitted under some guidelines) - verified
answers; Utilitarian System
the expression of a gene (ex. blue eyes, brown fur, striped fruit, yellow flowers, etc) - verified
answers; phenotype
, the genetic constitution of an individual organism - verified answers; genotype
allele that expresses itself when present in just one copy - verified answers; dominant allele
allele that is not expressed in the presence of the dominant allele - verified answers;
Recessive allele
a condition in which two alleles for a trait are the same - verified answers; Homozygous
a condition in which two alleles for a trait are different from each other - verified answers;
Heterozygous
contain two complete sets of genetic information; chromosomes exist as homologous pairs -
verified answers; Diploid Cells
contain one complete set of genetic information (egg and sperm) - verified answers; Haploid
Cells
two chromosomes, one of paternal origin, the other of maternal origin, that contain the same
gene sequence and pair with each other and undergo crossing over during meiosis - verified
answers; Homologous Chromosomes
chart of 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans; size order display - verified answers; Karyotype
the 23rd pair of chromosomes in humans - verified answers; sex chromosomes
