A nucleotide from DNA and RNA are shown in the image, what is the difference between them regarding the sugars involved?

DNA has a deoxyribose sugar while RNA has a ribose sugar

DNA and RNA have the same sugar

DNA has a ribose sugar while RNA has a deoxyribose sugar

Which statement correctly describes the sequence of bases found in DNA?

It determines the characteristics that will be inherited

It changes every time it replicates

It is exactly the same in all organisms

It directly controls the synthesis of starch within a cell

How can a person's muscle cells have the same exact DNA sequences as their nerve cells even though the look and perform completely different?

The proteins expressed in each cell are different

The two different cells become mutated

They actually have different DNA in the two types of cells.

The genome of the different cells changes

The Himalayan rabbit's habitat has cold, snowy winters and mild summers. The body is typically covered in white fur except for the nose, feet, tail, and ears, which are covered in black fur. A scientist shaved an area of white fur on the back of a Himalayan rabbit and placed an ice pack over the shaved area . The shaved area grew black fur. Which of these best explains why the hair that grew back where the Ice pack was placed was black and not white?

The genes for black hair were activated by specific temperatures.

The white hair mutated to black hair as the rabbit's body temperature decreased.

The coat color changed from white to black with the age of the rabbit.

White hair only grows during certain times of the year.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic modification technique that edits parts of the genome of an organism . Using this technique scientists can add, remove, or modify sections of the DNA sequence. How can scientists use this technique to control gene expression?

By activating or deactivating specific genes

By determining the number of chromosomes in an organism

By identifying how closely related one individual is to another

By calculating the number of genes different organisms produce

What is the final result in meiosis?

Four new cells, each with half the chromosomes.

Two new daughter cells with the exact same chromosomes.

Four new cells, each with twice the chromosomes.

What is the mode of inheritance shown here?

Dominant because it shows up in every generation

Recessive because it "skips" a generation

Colorblindness is more common in males than in females because......

the allele for colorblindness is recessive and located on the X chromosome

fathers pass the allele for colorblindness to their sons only

the allele for colorblindness is located on the Y chromosome

males who are colorblind have two copies of the allele for colorblindness
