An organism obtains one allele for a gene of a specific trait from each parent on one chromosome.

Answer

An organism obtains two alleles for a gene of a specific trait from each parent on one chromosome.

Answer

An organism obtains two alleles for a gene of a specific trait from each parent on two chromosomes.

Answer

An organism obtains one allele for a gene of a specific trait from one parent on one chromosome.

Question 14

A student conducts an activity to study the occurrence of dimples among a group of friends and their parents.What can be inferred by analyzing the pattern of the presence of dimples among the friends and their parents?

Accepted Answer

Children inherit the genes for the characteristic of dimples from their parents.

Answer

The characteristic for the presence of dimples is common among children

Answer

The characteristic for the absence of dimples is more common in parents.

C

Answer

A

Answer

B

Answer

D

Question 18

Question 18.

Accepted Answer

In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit genes from both parents, and each offspring has a new combination of traits.

Answer

In sexual reproduction, only the female parent passes genes to the offspring.

Answer

In sexual reproduction, only the male parent passes genes to the offspring.

In sexual reproduction, the male parent passes its genes to male offspring, and the female parent passes its genes to female offspring.

Question 19

Question 19.

Accepted Answer

The process exchanges genes, which results in genetic variation in the offspring.

Answer

The process creates new genes, which increases the genetic variation in the offspring.

Answer

The process duplicates chromosomes, which results in more genetic information in the offspring.

Answer

The process removes chromosomes, which results in less genetic information in the offspring.

Question 20

What is a disadvantage for organisms that reproduce asexually rather than sexually?

Accepted Answer

The offspring are genetically identical to each other, which reduces their ability to adapt to any changes in the environment.

Answer

The offspring resemble the parent, which makes it difficult to distinguish them from each other.

Answer

The offspring take more time to grow and develop.

Answer

The offspring receive less genetic material.

Question 22

What relationship exists between genes and chromosomes?

Accepted Answer

Genes are located on chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of cells.

Answer

Genes produce chromosomes which transmit traits from one generation to another.

Answer

Genes are made up of chromosomes which move from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Answer

Genes and chromosomes produce alleles which determine the phenotype of offspring.

Question 23

Which statement is true about genetic information?

Accepted Answer

A gene is a section of DNA and is found on a chromosome in the cell's nucleus.

Answer

A DNA molecule is a section of a gene found on the nucleus of chromosome.

Answer

A chromosome is a section of a gene found in the nucleus of a DNA molecule.

Answer
