1.

What is the result of this process?

a)

an increase in offspring variation.

b)

the deletion of amino acid sequences.

c)

an increase in mutations in genetic material.

d)

the production of gametes that are genetically identical.

2.

Which statement describes crossing over as it occurs in meiosis?

a)

The alleles of a gene separate.

b)

Spindle fibers pull apart sister chromatids.

c)

Genes move to opposite ends of the chromosome.

d)

Homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA.

3.

Which organism will pass mutations to their offspring?

a)

L and M

b)

L and O

c)

N and M

d)

N and O

4.

Which statement describes evidence that supports your choice in the previous question?

a)

Offpring genotypes are determined by gametes.

b)

Offspring genotypes are determined by both somatic cells and gametes.

c)

Independent assortment of alleles in somatic cells causes mutated genes to be passed on to offspring.

d)

Mutations in somatic cells are highly inheritable because they transport nutrients throughout the organism.

5.

a)

Proline is now lysine and leucine is unchanged.

b)

Proline is now lysine and asparagine is unchanged.

c)

Proline is unchanged and asparagine is unchanged.

d)

Proline is unchanged and leucine is now phenylalanine.

How could genetic engineering be use to produce a more successful crop in a hot, dry climate?

a)

Non-essential DNA could be removed from the genomes of the crop plants.

b)

DNA from plants adapted to dry area could be added to the genomes of the crop plants.

c)

RNA from a varity of nonagricultural plants could be added to the genomes of the crop plants.

d)
