The diversity of phenotypes in a population.

b)

An individual's genetic makeup

c)

Changes to the DNA modifies existing genes.

3.

How is it possible for individuals with the same genotype to have different phenotypes?

Sexual reproduction can change a person's genotype to alter phenotype.

4.

Some environmental changes can be very slow.

a)

Populations with a higher number of susceptible individuals would have high losses.

b)

Populations with a higher number of resistant individuals would have high losses.

Populations with a higher number of resistant individuals would have low losses.

21.

In the 1940s, geneticist Alfred Sturtevant proposed that tongue rolling was inherited according to simple Mendelian rules. Under this scenario, the allele for tongue rolling is dominant, so if you have at least 1 dominant allele (T), you will be a tongue roller. Non-rollers have 2 copies of the recessive allele (tt). When two non-rollers are crossed (NR X NR), the percentage that their children will be rollers is 34%. Does this result suggest tongue rolling is inherited in a classic Mendelian inheritance pattern?

a)

Yes, as the children inherited the trait from their parents.

b)

Yes, the children have 34% chance of inheriting the recessive trait (t) from their non-roller parents.

c)

No, the children inherited the dominant trait from their parents.

d)

No, the parents are non-rollers so there should be a 0% chance that the children are rollers.

22.

How can we interpret Mendel's experiment?

a)

Traits are determined by a gene, which passes unchanged from parent to offspring.

b)

Each individual inherits one gene for each trait from each parent, and each individual has two units.

c)

Traits may not physically appear in an individual, but the genes for them can still be passed on to its offspring.

d)

Environmental factors can influence phenotype.

23.
