G = green, g = yellow The genotype for a yellow plant is...

all of the choices result in yellow

Which answer best describes codominant alleles?

Neither are dominant or recessive

What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together?

Mendelian Inheritance (Complete Dominance)

Looking at the karyotype, is this person male or female, and how do you know?

There is no way to tell from a karyotype.

The karyotype, or chromosomal profile, for humans is shown. A karyotype can be used to investigate genetic disorders. The chemical colchicine is used in the production of karyotypes. Colchicine prevents spindle fibers from forming during the cell cycle. What is a result of preventing spindle fibers from forming?

Mitotic division stops in metaphase and cannot proceed to anaphase.

The cell cycle skips G0 phase and repeats G1 phase

Mitotic division is skipped, and the cell cycle proceeds to cytokinesis

The cell cycle skips S phase and proceeds to G2 phase.

A scientist analyzing the karyotype shown above notices that the 23rd pair of chromosomes shown in the karyotype contains an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. The scientist can tell from this karyotype that –

there is a mutation in the 23rd pair of chromosomes

the karyotype is not from a human but from another type of animal

John and Sarah had a child born with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. Both John and Sarah were normal, showing no signs of this disorder. How is it possible for them to have a child with this disease?

Cystic fibrosis must be a recessive trait disorder hidden in both parents’ genotype, but not showing in the phenotype, that could be passed on to offspring.

Cystic fibrosis must be a dominant trait disorder hidden in both parents' genotype, but not showing in the phenotype, that could be passed on to offspring.

Cystic fibrosis must be a dominant trait disorder hidden in one parents’ genotype, but not showing in the phenotype, that could be passed on to offspring.

Cystic fibrosis must be a recessive trait disorder hidden in one parents’ genotype, but not showing in the phenotype, that could be passed on to offspring

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic modification technique that edits parts of the genome of an organism. Using this technique scientists can add, remove, or modify sections of the DNA sequence. How can scientists use this technique to control gene expression?

By activating or deactivating specific genes

By calculating the number of genes different organisms produce

By identifying how closely related one individual is to another

By determining the number of chromosomes in an organism

Gametes produced by an organism contain a combination of genes from that organism. In every gamete, this combination is —

different due to independent assortment during meiosis

the same because it is created from the same DNA

the same because chromosomes are copied prior to meiosis

different due to DNA replication prior to mitosis

Exposure to the building material asbestos has been linked to certain types of cancers. Asbestos causes mutations in the p53 gene, which controls tumor suppression. Which statement best explains why people with cancer due to asbestos exposure do not pass the mutation on to their offspring?

The mutation occurred in somatic cells.

The mutation occurred in gametic cells.

The diagram shows how specialized body cells can develop. Which of the following best explains why cells that contain the same genetic material do not develop into the same types of cells?

Because internal or external stimuli can trigger the activation of specific genes in the DNA of cells

Because random mutations can occur in the DNA of cells during early embryonic development

Because messenger RNA is converted to transfer RNA when cell differentiation begins

Because chemical signals that are released during the cell cycle can result in the linking of similar genes
