- Q1Even though there is a great deal of variation between individuals within a species, all organisms tend to produce offspring that are generally like themselves. For instance, tomato seeds reliably grow into tomato plants and have never been known to spontaneously produce asparagus. How do parents manage to consistently produce offspring that are similar to themselves?Bits of tissue in the parents are incorporated into the offspring, resulting in similar development.Parents pass their own DNA to their offspring so the same directions are provided for development.Proteins from each parent join together to form offspring similar to the parents.Hormones from the parents direct the development of the offspring.60s
- Q2The word GENE refers to a...replicated chromosomerung of the DNA ladderfactor that controls a traitrecessive allele60s
- Q3The order of nitrogen bases along a gene determines...the type and order of amino acids added to a protein.the number of DNA molecules formed during replication.whether the gene is carried on RNA or DNA.the sequence of events in DNA replication.60s
- Q4Which of the following is TRUE of genes?Each gene has a fixed location on a chromosome.Genes code only for dominant traits.Each gene is repeated on all of the body's 23 chromosomes.All genes contain the same number of nitrogen base pairs.60s
- Q5DNA contains the genetic information for cells to make...chromosomes.proteins.genes.a double helix.60s
- Q6Genes determine whether you have dimples, what color eyes you have, and even the ability to roll your tongue. What is the role of a gene in inheritance?The gene contains chromosomes that show an organism's traits.The gene is a section of DNA that controls a trait that the organism inherits.The gene has nerves that send messages to the brain controlling specific traits.The gene gets messages from its cell about showing certain traits.60s
- Q7A family of mice living in a small cage had babies with white fur coloring and brown fur coloring. The parents of these babies are both brown in color, but each of the parents had a parent with white fur color. How did the babies with white fur get their coloring?The genes for fur coloration in the white offspring were damaged.The white fur was caused by an extra chromosome in the offspring.The parents carried genes for white fur and passed them to the offspring.The offspring were each missing the gene for fur coloration.60s
- Q8Which statement does NOT accurately describe a trait?Traits are inherited qualities that make people unique.Children always have traits that are identical to the traits of their parents.People who are non-related can share the same traits.Traits are qualities that are passed in the form of DNA.60s
- Q9What is the name of the DNA segment that contains information for a specific trait?genesRNAchromosomesnuclei60s
- Q10What is the molecule that contains the genetic information of a cell?DNAlipidscarbohydratesproteins60s
