What is a gene

• A long length of DNA that codes for a chromosome

• A short length of DNA that codes for a chromosome

• A short length of DNA that codes for a protein.

What are genes?

• Groups of Chromosomes

• Multiple body cells grouped together

• Sections of DNA arranged inside the chromosomes

A gene determines a __________ such as eye or hair color.

• nucleus

• DNA

• chromosome

• Trait

How many pairs of chromosomes do humans have?

• 21

• 22

• 23

• 24

Heredity is the passing of traits from _____________________ to _____________________

• predators to prey
• water to rain
• parents to offspring
• fungi to protists

In mitosis, the two resulting cells are

• different from the starting cell and identical to each other.
• different from the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Meiosis produces different types of cells than mitosis. If there was a "meiosis club," all of these cells could be included EXCEPT
(Which cell type is not produced in meiosis?)

• gametes
• body cells
• sperm cells
• egg cells

Meiosis makes sperm and egg cells. In humans, sperm and egg cells each have _____ chromosomes. Therefore a fertilized human egg cell (sperm and egg cell combined) would create a cell with _____ chromosomes.

• 23, 46
• 46, 23
• 2, 4
• 50, 100

When comparing the offspring of sexually and asexually reproducing organisms, we would expect the genetic material (DNA) of the sexually reproducing organism to -

• contain fewer mutations
• be lesser in quantity
• be simpler overall
• show more variation

 A white cat had a litter of kittens that were orange, grey, and black and white spotted. Is this the result of sexual or asexual reproduction? And how would you characterize the offspring listed above?

• Sexual reproduction with uniform offspring
• Asexual reproduction with diverse offspring
• Sexual reproduction with diverse offspring
• Asexual reproduction with uniform offspring
