• XX
• XY
• YY
• None of the above

What combination of sex chromosomes do women normally have?

• XX
• XY

A tool that geneticists use to trace the inheritance of traits in a family is called a

• pedigree
• punnett square
• karyotype
• genome

In a pedigree, a square is used to represent a 

• male
• female
• sex cell
• person with the trait

In a pedigree, a circle is used to represent a

• male
• female
• sex cell
• person with the trait

A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell that doctors use to detect genetic disorders is called a

• DNA fingerprint
• clone
• Human Genome Project
• karyotype

In which method are organisms with the desired traits chosen to be the parents of the next generation?

• selective breeding
• hybridization
• cloning
• genetic engineering

Treating genetic disorders by inserting the needed gene directly into the person's body cells is called

• cloning
• gene therapy
• inbreeding
• selective breeding

The main goal of the Human Genome Project is to

• treat genetic disorders
• make karyotypes
• insert human genes into bacteria
• identify the DNA sequence of every human gene
