The transfer of genes from parents to their offspring is known as

• differentiation

• heredity

• immunity

• evolution

The function of white blood cells is to

• transport oxygen to body cells

• to produce more mixtapes for DJ Khaled

• carry glucose to body cells

• protect the body against pathogens

The temporary storage of energy in ATP molecules is part of what process?

• cell division

• cellular respiration

• protein synthesis

• DNA replication

Using the results of his experiments with pea plant crosses, what did Gregor Mendel discover?

• the principles of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment

• that pea plants develop mutations after exposure to radiation

• intermediate inheritance and gene linkage

• that DNA is involved in the inheritance of dominant traits

The processes of deletion, insertion, and substitution can alter genes in a skin cell. The altered genes will most likely be passed on to

• egg cells

• every cell that develops from that skin cell

• only a few of the cells that develop from that skin cell

Which process will increase variations that could be inherited?

• mitotic cell division

• active transport

• recombination of genes

• synthesis of proteins

The genotype of individual 2 could be

• Ee, only

• ee

• EE or Ee

Which chromosomes shown below are homologous?

• A and B

• B and C

• C and D
