1.

There are two boys that have the same proteins for brown eyes in their cells. The boys have different parents. What can you say about the boys eye color?

a)

They will have the same eye color since all boys have the same eye color.

b)

They will have different eye color because even with the same proteins for eye color, the proteins can connect in different ways.

c)

They will have the same eye color since their proteins for eye color are the same so the proteins will connect in the same way.

d)

They will have different eye color since only offspring from the same parents have the same eye color.

2.

Two girls have different parents. One girl has brown hair, and the other girl has red hair. Why do the girls have different hair color?

a)

The girls have different versions of the gene for hair color, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different hair colors.

b)

Each girl has different hair colors because they have different versions of the gene for hair color that connect together to make different hair colors.

c)

The girls have different versions of the gene for hair color, and the genes are different colors in each girl's hair color.

d)

Each girl has different hair colors because offspring from different parents will have different hair colors.

3.

A woman has blue eyes. Her mother has blue eyes, but the father has brown eyes. Which of these statements explains why the woman has blue eyes?

a)

The woman inherited one copy of the gene for eye color from its mother and one copy from its father. Those genes connect together to make her eyes blue.

b)

The woman inherited one copy of the gene for eye color from her mother and one copy from her father. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that make her eyes blue.

c)

The woman inherited its copies of the gene for eye color from its mother and not from its father. Those genes connect together to make its eyes blue.

d)

The woman inherited its copies of the gene for eye color from its mother and not from its father. Those genes connect together to make its eye color blue.

4.

There are two lizards that have different proteins in their cells for tongue length. They have different parents. What can you say about the lizards' tongue lengths?

a)

They will have the same tongue lengths because even with different proteins for tongue length, the proteins can connect in the same way.

b)

They will have the same tongue lengths since all tree frogs have the same tongue length.

c)

They will have different tongue lengths since offspring from different parents will have different tongue lengths.

d)

They will have different tongue lengths since their proteins for tongue length are different so the proteins will connect in different ways.

5.

Two baby bulls have different parents. They have differently shaped horns. Why do the bulls have differently shaped horns?

a)

The bulls have different versions of the gene for horn shape, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways make their horn shapes different.

b)

Each bull has a different horn shape because offspring from different parents will have different horn shapes.

c)

The bulls have different versions of the gene for horn shape. The genes are curved differently in each beetle’s horns.

d)

Each bull has a different horn shape because they have different versions of the gene for horn shape that connect together to make different horn shapes.

6.

Two baby bulls have different parents. They have differently shaped horns. Why do the bulls have differently shaped horns?

a)

The bulls have different versions of the gene for horn shape, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways make their horn shapes different.

b)

Each bull has a different horn shape because offspring from different parents will have different horn shapes.

c)

The bulls have different versions of the gene for horn shape. The genes are curved differently in each beetle’s horns.

d)

Each bull has a different horn shape because they have different versions of the gene for horn shape that connect together to make different horn shapes.

7.

A father bat had long ears while the mother bat had short ears. Which of these statements explains why one of the baby bats could have long ears?

a)

The baby bat inherited its copies of the gene for ear length from its father and not from its mother. Just like its father’s genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its ears long

b)

The baby bat inherited one copy of the gene for ear length from its father and one copy from its mother. Those genes connect together to make its long ears.

c)

The baby bat inherited one copy of the gene for ear length from its father and one copy from its mother. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that make long ears.

d)

The baby bat inherited one copy of the gene for ear length from its father and one copy from its mother. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that make long ears.

8.

Two cats have different parents. They both have the same proteins for whisker thickness in their cells. What can you say about the cat's whisker thicknesses?

a)

They will have the same whisker thicknesses since all cats have the same whisker thickness.

b)

They will have the same whisker thicknesses since their proteins for whisker thickness are the same so the proteins will connect in the same way.

c)

They will have different whisker thicknesses because even with the same proteins for whisker thickness, the proteins can connect in different ways.

d)

They will have different whisker thicknesses since only offspring from the same parents have the same whisker thickness.

9.

Two cats have different parents. One cat has green eyes, and the other cat has brown eyes. Why do the cats have different eye colors?

a)

Each cat has a different eye color because offspring from different parents will have different eye colors.

b)

Each cat has a different eye color because they have different versions of the gene for eye color that connect together to make different eye colors.

c)

The cats have different versions of the gene for eye color, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different eye colors.

d)

The cats have different versions of the gene for eye color. The genes are different colors for each dog’s eyes.

10.

A whale pup has a pointed fin. Its mother also had a pointed fin, but its father had a rounded fin. Which of these statements explains why the whale pup has a pointed fin?

a)

The whale pup inherited its copies of the gene for fin shape from its mother and not from its father. Just like its mother’s genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its fin pointed.

b)

The whale pup inherited its copies of the gene for fin shape from its mother and not from its father. Those genes connect together to make its fin pointed.

c)

The whale pup inherited one copy of the gene for fin shape from its mother and one copy from its father. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that make its fin pointed.

d)

The whale pup inherited one copy of the gene for fin shape from its mother and one copy from its father. Those genes connect together to make its fin pointed.

11.

Two cranes have different parents. They each have different proteins in their cells for beak thickness. What can you say about the cranes' beak thicknesses?

a)

They will have different beak thicknesses since offspring from different parents will have different beak thicknesses.

b)

They will have different beak thicknesses since their proteins for beak thickness are different so the proteins will connect in different ways.

c)

They will have the same beak thicknesses because even with different proteins for beak thickness, the proteins can connect in the same way.

d)

They will have the same beak thicknesses since all parakeets have the same beak thickness.

The dogs have different versions of the gene for fur softness, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different kinds of fur.

c)

Each dog has different fur softness because offspring from different parents will have different fur softness.

d)

Each dog has different traits for fur softness because they have different versions of the gene for fur softness that connect together to make different kinds of fur.
