Gel Electrophoresis

6.

Based on the data, which lane most likely contained DNA from the suspect who committed the crime? Support your answer.

a)

A- because they had the most DNA in common

b)

B- because they had the most Bands in common

c)

C- because they are identical

d)

They do not have the suspect

7.

Identify the lane that contained the band with the shortest fragments of DNA. Support your answer.

a)

A- because the band is the farthest from the wells

b)

B- the band is the farthest from the wells

c)

C- the band is the closest to the wells

d)

D- the band is the closest to the wells

8.

Which model, that shows only some of the chromosomes in each of the two types of cells, best explains why these cells are so different?

a)

b)

c)

d)

9.

Identify the unknown individual as A, B, C, or D by comparing the gel electrophoresis results. Support your answer.

a)

A- the bands are identical

b)

B- The bands are most similiar

c)

C- The bands do not line up

d)

D- The bands are identical

10.

Before conducting an electrophoresis procedure, enzymes are added to DNA in order to

a)

convert the DNA into gel

b)

remove smaller DNA fragments from the samples

c)

cut the DNA into fragments

d)

synthesize larger fragments of DNA

11.

Down syndrome occurs when an individual has an extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters development and results in Down syndrome. This genetic abnormality is

a)

a mutation

b)

a substitution

c)

fertilization

d)

differentiation

12.

A weightlifter has spent years building his muscular strength. His newborn daughter has normal strength for a baby. Which statement best explains this situation?

a)

A daughter inherits most of her traits from her mother. The daughter’s muscles are unlikely to resemble her father’s.

b)

The weightlifter’s wife probably did not lift weights. Both parents must have this trait before the baby can inherit it.

c)

Babies do not have strong muscles. The daughter’s muscles will be unusually strong in a few more months.

d)

The weightlifter’s highly developed muscles resulted from exercise. A characteristic such as this will not be inherited.

13.

One of the largest and oldest organisms on Earth is located in Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Pando is an 80,000-year-old grove of aspen trees that covers 100 acres. Although it looks like a forest, DNA analysis of several of the “trees” has confirmed it is really just one huge organism. Therefore, the “trees” must have been reproduced

a)

sexually and have genetic variability

b)

asexually and have genetic variability

c)

sexually and are genetically identical

d)

asexually and are genetically identical

14.

Genetically identical yarrow plants were grown at different altitudes. Even though their genetic makeup was identical, the plants grew to different heights. One likely explanation for the different heights of the plants at each altitude is that

a)

gene expression was influenced by the environment

b)

genes mutated when the plants were grown at higher elevations

c)

chromosomes increased in number with elevation change

d)

the sequence of DNA bases was altered at different altitudes

15.

The diagram below represents the human female reproductive system.

Label the following Parts

16.

The diagram below represents the human female reproductive system.

Label the following Functions

17.

Identical twins were separated at birth and raised by two different families. Years later, one twin was a physically fi t member of the cross-country team, and the other twin was overweight with slightly higher-than-normal blood pressure. The differences in these twins could be explained by the fact that

a)

the genes in the two individuals are completely different

b)

in twins, each individual inherits genes from only one parent

c)

the DNA bases in twins combine differently

d)

the environment can influence the expression of genes

18.

Following fertilization, a zygote divides and soon becomes a multicelled embryo with many different cell types, as represented below.

Which statement best explains this development?

a)

Specialization occurs, resulting in the formation of a great variety of cell types.

b)

Genes are inserted into the zygote to allow for the formation of different cell types.

c)

The expression of genes responsible for the different cell types is controlled by the placenta.

d)

The genetic information in the zygote is divided to produce a complete set for each cell type.

19.
