BIOL 322 COMPREHENSIVE TEST SCRIPT
2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
●● Genotype.
Answer: refers to the genetic makeup of an organism
●● Phenotype.
Answer: refers to observable characteristics of the cell/ organism such as
appearance, physiology, and behavior
●● The ___ of an organism is part of what determines the ___ of the
organism; however, environment also plays a role in the organism's ___.
The ___ is heritable and, therefore, its contribution to ___ will be
inherited. The aspects of ___ that are due to environment are not
heritable..
Answer: The genotype of an organism is part of what determines the
phenotype of the organism; however, environment also plays a role in
the organism's phenotype. The genotype is heritable and, therefore, its
contribution to phenotype will be inherited. The aspects of phenotype
that are due to environment are not heritable.
●● Chromosome.
, Answer: a single DNA molecule (plus associated proteins) that contains
some or all of the genetic information of an organism
●● Gene.
Answer: a genetic locus that contains all the information required for
transcription of a specific RNA
●● Allele.
Answer: a specific form of a gene or genetic locus
●● Mendel's Law of Segregation.
Answer: allele pairs segregate equally into gametes during meiosis, this
means that a gamete will have only one allele of any given gene, and
that the probability of a gamete having one allele or the other is equal
●● The Law of Independent Assortment.
Answer: During gamete formation, the segregation of alleles at one
locus is independent of the segregation of alleles at another locus
●● Product rule.
Answer: probability of independent events both occurring together is
product of individual probabilities (You have to multiply!)
●● Sum rule.
