- Q1The passing of traits from an organism to its offspring is known asanimalitybiologyhereditytaxonomy30sEditDelete
- Q2Justin is a tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed, soccer player who likes to cook. Based on the information in the chart, which is an inherited trait from his mother?the color of his eyeshis ability to swimthe enjoyment of cooking30sEditDelete
- Q3Several babies were switched in a hospital nursery. The best way to correct the problem is to compare the mothers' and the babies'blood typeDNAeye color30sEditDelete
- Q4Some traits found in living organisms are always shown whenever a single allele is present within the cells. What type of traits require two identical alleles in the cells to be shown?separated traitsmutated traitsduplicated traitsrecessive traits30sEditDelete
- Q5When two cats reproduce, two individual parent cells (sperm and egg) join together to form the offspring. This process is called fertilization. When a paramecium reproduces there is no union of egg and sperm. What is the difference between the cat’s offspring and the paramecium’s offspring?Both the cat’s offspring and the paramecium’s offspring will express only dominant traits.Both the cat’s offspring and the paramecium’s offspring will be identical to one of the parents.The cat’s offspring will share some traits with both of its parents, but not be identical to either one of the parents and the paramecium’s offspring will be identical to the parent.30sEditDelete
- Q6A bacteria cell can reproduce by dividing in half. Once the cell divides, there are two bacteria cells. Which of these is the best estimate of how genetically similar the two bacteria cells will be?50%25%0%100%30sEditDelete
- Q7Living organisms can change through generations. Genes contain the various traits of offspring. Diverse offspring (more likely to be able to survive a disease) would be a result of which type of reproduction?binary fissionasexual reproductionsexual reproductionbudding30sEditDelete
- Q8Sexual reproduction results in greater genetic diversity than asexual reproduction. What is the reason for this diversity?the individual genes are largerthe genes contain more informationthe genes are fewer in numberthe large number of gene combinations30sEditDelete
- Q9Asexual reproduction result inmore numerous offspringdiverse offspring (different)fewer offspringuniform offspring (same kind of offspring)30sEditDelete
- Q10Sexual reproduction results inoffspring that have different genesoffspring with all the same genesoffspring that have fewer number of genesoffspring that have greater number of genes30sEditDelete
- Q11A male and female are expecting their first offspring. Which of these best describes the characteristics of the offspring?The offspring will have only the male's characteristics.The offspring will have characteristics of both the male and female.The offspring will have only the female's characteristics.30sEditDelete
- Q12Asexual reproduction results in more identical offspring because itis less efficientis a slower processpasses on the same gene setuses smaller genes30sEditDelete
- Q13Sexual reproduction, results in genes that are not all the same because itinvolves combination of genesdoesn't involve genesrequires fewer genes30sEditDelete
- Q14How do the results of sexual and asexual reproduction compare?sexual reproduction results in more diverse offspringasexual reproduction results in more diverse offspringasexual reproduction results in greater number of offspring30sEditDelete
- Q15Why don't you use a Punnett square to predict the traits of offspring from asexual reproduction?predicting traits in asexual reproduction is too complex for a Punnett squareoffspring have identical traits to their parent in asexual reproductionoffspring always have a 50% chance of inheriting traits from their parent30sEditDelete
- Q16What characteristic can be found in the offspring of asexual reproduction?genetic information that matches only one parentgenetic information from more than one parentdiverse appearance from siblings30sEditDelete
- Q17What percentage of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?75%100%25%50%30sEditDelete
- Q18A scientist wants to describe the differences between uniform(same/identical) and diverse (different) offspring of the insect pest called an aphid. What type of data would best explain differences due to the type of reproduction?genetic materialaphid nichenumber of aphids studied30sEditDelete
