Chromosomes are duplicated during what stage of the cell cycle?
G1 Phase
S Phase
Prophase
Prometaphase
Which of the following events does not occur during some stages of interphase?
DNA duplication
organelle duplication
increase in cell size
separation of sister chromatids
Which of the following is NOT a requirement for maintaining the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
An increasing mutation rate

Large population size
No migration
In human ABO blood type, allele A and allele B are
co-dominant
recessive
dominant
co-recessive
An allele is
another word for a gene
a homozygous genotype
a heterozygous genotype
one of several possible forms of a gene
Mendel's principle of segregation states that:
alleles from one parent mask the expression of alleles from the other parent
alleles separate from each other before forming gametes
true-breeding parents produce offspring of the same phenotype
different loci separate from each other.
The Law of Independent Assortment is not applicable for
dihybrid inheritance
heterozygous genotype
true breed individuals
linked genes
For autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, the affected person will have the genotype
rr
RR
Rr
A man who carries an X-linked allele will pass it on to
all of his sons
all of his daughters
all of his children
half of his son
What process occurs during meiosis that can result in abnormal number of chromosomes?
synapsis (pairing up)
chromosomes condense
What is the purpose of gel electrophoresis in molecular biology?
To amplify DNA sequences
To determine the sequence of DNA
To visualize DNA under a microscope
To separate and analyze DNA, RNA, or proteins based on their size and charge.
Which enzyme is commonly used in PCR to amplify DNA?
RNA polymerase
Taq DNA polymerase
Retriction Enzymes
Ligase
What is the function of restriction enzymes in molecular biology?
join DNA at specific recognition sites.
repair DNA at specific recognition sites.
cut DNA at specific recognition sites.
amplify DNA at specific recognition sites.
To unwind DNA.
The transfer of alleles from one population to another.
natural selection
genetic drift
gene flow
mutations
Similar structures evolved from a common ancestor
fossil

Hippo, 83.4%
Mouse, 38.4%
Which best describes the phrase survival of the fittest?
strongest in a population are most successful
those that can survive and reproduce are most successful
fastest in a population are most successful
those that can live the longest are most successful
A population of rabbits has three fur colors: white, gray, and black. After volcanic activity, the terrain changed and now the rabbits now live on white rocks and black rocks. What type of selection is likely to occur?
Directional selection
Stabilizing selection
Disruptive selection
It shows that they have a common ancestor because of their early development similarities.
Animals change over time.
Embryo does not change
They can be shown to adapt to their environment.
A category of structures that have a similar function, but are not evolved from common ancestry
Homologous structures
Analogous structures

Convergent evolution
Divergent evolution
Coevolution
Competition
