Biology Test Prep Flatfish

Draw

Using numbers 1-3, put the steps of gene expression in order.

Multiple Select

Select ALL of the adaptations of the flatfish.

• Flatfish coloration helps them blend in with their surroundings.

• Flatfish eye placement allows them to see prey and predators.

• Gills help a flatfish breathe underwater.

• Flatfish eat insects.

• Fins help a flatfish navigate through the water.

Multiple Choice

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• Golgi body

• ribosome

Multiple Choice

Where does transcription of the DNA take place in a flatfish cell?

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• Golgi body

• ribosome

Multiple Choice

What is the relationship between thyroxine levels and cellular response?

• As thyroxine levels increase, cellular response decreases.

• As thyroxine levels increase, cellular response increases.

• There is no relationship between thyroxine levels and cellular response.

Multiple Choice

Based on the amino acid sequences, which fish is the Japanese flounder most closely related to?

• stickleback

• puffer fish

• zebra fish

• tongue sole

Multiple Select

Based on the amino acid sequences, which 2 fish is the zebra fish most closely related to?

• stickleback

• puffer fish

• Japanese flounder

• tongue sole

Multiple Choice

Which answer shows the correct sequence for what happens when the thyroxine hormone activates a gene?

• eye migration protein is created > DNA is transcribed > the hormone and receptor bind to gene > the amino acid sequence is created

• hormone and receptor bind to gene > DNA is transcribed > amino acid sequence is created > eye migration protein is created

• DNA is transcribed > hormone and receptor bind to gene > eye migration protein is created > amino acid sequence is created

• amino acid sequence is created > hormone and receptor bind to gene > DNA is transcribed > eye migration protein is created.

Multiple Choice

Which statement best explains how genes cause eye migration in flatfish?

• Genes are transferred to the tissue around the eye and produce proteins that cause migration.

• Genes located in the tissue around the eye produce proteins to cause migration.

• Genes in the thyroid gland produce proteins that move to the tissue around the eye and cause migration.

• Genes that are newly made produce proteins in the tissue around the eye and cause migration.

Multiple Choice

Which paragraph best describes the impact of thyroxine levels during eye migration in flatfish metamorphosis?

• Thyroxine levels decrease while the amount of gene expression decreases. By the end of the eye migration, the sequence of the gene will have changed.

• Thyroxine levels stay the same while the amount of gene expression increases. By the end of the eye migration, the sequence of the gene will have changed.

• Thyroxine levels increase while the amount of gene expression increases. By the end of the eye migration, the sequence of the gene will have remained the same.

• Thyroxine levels stay the same while the amount of gene expression stays the same. By the end of the eye migration, the sequence of the gene will have remained the same.

Multiple Choice

Which explanation is best supported by the Amino Acid Differences table?

• Both Japanese flounder and tongue sole are missing portions of DNA.

• The zebra fish is different from other symmetrical fish because it is evolving into a flatfish.

• Amino acids in the stickleback and tongue sole are similar to each other because they have the same DNA.

• Amino acids in Japanese flounder and tongue sole are similar to each other because they both undergo metamorphasis.

Multiple Select

• Fish A

• Fish B

• Fish C

• Fish D
