Russian scientists have discovered fossil evidence of a group of “dwarf” mammoths on an island in Siberia. Carbon dating indicates that these mammoths were alive 6,000 years after other mammoth species became extinct.
• Some scientists think these “dwarf” mammoths survived because the island was isolated from humans.
• Other scientists think the milder climate on the island allowed them to survive longer.
Which term best describes these two statements?
conclusions
theories
law
hypotheses

To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype, you would cross that individual with one that is-
heterozygous dominant
heterozygous recessive
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
The appearance of an organism is its
genotype
phenotype
genotype ratio
phenotype ratio
In the 1860s, Mendel conducted experiments that established

modern genetics
In guinea pigs, black fur is dominant. A black guinea pig is crossed with a white guinea pig. If the litter contains a white offspring, the genotype of the black haired parent is probably
homozygous dominant
heterozygous
homozygous recessive
None of the above
In incomplete dominance, the alleles are,
not shown
blended together
expressed independently
dominant
In pea plants, the allele for round seeds (R) is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds (r).

Which of the following would affect an animal’s future offspring?
toxic chemicals that cause a mutation in the animal’s skin cells
gamma radiation that causes a mutation in the animal’s liver cells

Why does a frame-shift mutation often have more serious consequences than a point substitution?
Point substitutions can be corrected by enzymes
Frame-shift mutations may cause the resulting protein to be completely altered
Point substitutions are less random than frame-shift mutations.
Frame-shift mutations are more common than point substitutions at the beginning of a gene
A random mutation that alters a gene is passed to a newborn. Which of the following will be directly affected as a result of this mutation?
