Media Image

In bean plants, green (A) is dominant to yellow fruit (a). If 2 heterozygous green fruit plants are crossed, what is the genotype % of the offspring?

75% Green and 25% yellow

25% Homo Dominant, 50% Heterozygous; 25% Homo Recessive

100 % Green

None of these

Answer explanation

When two heterozygous green fruit plants (Aa x Aa) are crossed, the offspring genotypes are 25% AA (homo dominant), 50% Aa (heterozygous), and 25% aa (homo recessive). Thus, the correct answer is 25% Homo Dominant, 50% Heterozygous; 25% Homo Recessive.

Structural differences between a tadpole and an adult frog are due to

available food sources at different stages.

type of DNA present at each developmental stage.

combination of genetic material inherited during fertilization.

different sets of genes expressed at each stage of development.

Answer explanation

The structural differences between a tadpole and an adult frog arise from different sets of genes being expressed at each developmental stage, leading to distinct physical forms as they mature.

Mutations and independent assortment of alleles are important because they bring about

death of the organism in which they develop

genetic variation needed for a population to evolve

benefits for the individual, not for the population

Hardey-Weinberg equilibrium within a population

Answer explanation

Mutations and independent assortment of alleles create genetic variation, which is essential for a population to evolve. This variation allows for adaptation to changing environments, making the correct answer 'genetic variation needed for a population to evolve'.

Select ALL statements that are true of natural selection EXEPT

Populations can evolve.

Those with the variations (traits) best suited for the environment will survive.

Individuals can evolve.

Answer explanation

Natural selection acts on populations, not individuals. While individuals may possess traits, evolution occurs at the population level over generations, making 'Individuals can evolve' the false statement.
