(Write only the letters in capital letters)

(a)  

In which gene can we find the Huntington's Disease germline mutation?
(Write only the letters in capital letters)

(a)  

Is this statement true or false?

Unlike somatic mutations, germline mutations are not usually transmitted to their offspring.

• True

• False

Bees pollinate flowers when they're collecting nectar, which ensures the biodiversity of plant populations.

This is an example of...

• Germline mutation

• Somatic mutation

• Gene Flow

• Gene Drift

If one population of a genetic variation has large eyes, and some individuals migrate to a neighboring habitat, their offspring may introduce the larger-eye trait to the new population.

This is an example of...

• Gene Flow

• Gene Drift

• Somatic Mutation

• Germline Mutation

Which of the following options is NOT a factor that affects Gene Flow?

• Migration Rate

• Population Size

• Geographic Barriers

• Natural Selection

Genetic drift is also known as...

(Make sure to spell the words correctly, or else, the answer is wrong)

(a)  

Which of the following options explains how chance events affect allele frequencies in a population over generations?

• Gene Flow

• Germline Mutation

Which of the following options best exemplifies a somatic mutation?

• Huntington's Disease

• Cancer

• Tay-Sachs disease

• Cystic Fibrosis

Complete the sentence below with the correct answer:

________ may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation, or rise to 100% frequency, of other alleles.

• Gene drift

• Gene flow

• Non-random mating

• Population genetics
