Which labels correctly complete the diagram?

• Y is replication, and Z is translation.

•   Y is translation, and Z is replication.

• Y is transcription, and Z is translation.

•   Y is translation, and Z is transcription.

One possible form of a gene that codes for a particular trait is known as _______.

• a chromosome
• a phenotype
• an allele
• a genotype

In pea plants, tall (T) plants are dominant over short (t) plants. If a heterozygous (Tt) pea plant is crossed with a homozygous dominant (TT) pea plant, all of the resulting pea plants should be tall (TT or Tt). Each plant will receive a dominant allele from the homozygous dominant plant, while they could receive either a dominant or recessive allele from the heterozygous plant.
The fact that each plant gets only one allele from each parent plant is detailed in the law of _______.

• multiple alleles
• independent assortment
• segregation
• genetic inheritance

Guinea pig coat color is determined by a single gene. The allele for black coat color is dominant to brown. In a cross between two black-haired guinea pigs, 20 offspring are born. If both parents were heterozygous, probability would predict that approximately how many of the 20 offspring would have brown hair?

• 0
• 5
• 10
• 15

• 200 with axial flowers, 0 with terminal flowers
• 47 with axial flowers, 153 with terminal flowers
• 98 with axial flowers, 102 with terminal flowers
