Select the incorrect statement about meiosis.

1

Figure A is Mitosis at Metaphase and Figure B is Meiosis at Metaphse I.
Select the incorrect statement about these two comparisons.

1

Find the incorrect statement about the human karyotype shown above.

1

Mendel is recognized as the Father of Genetics because his Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment explains how organisms inherit traits.

1

Mendel was a Austrian monk. He used pea plants in his experiments. His work was not known or recognized during his lifetime.

1

Each autosomal pair of chromosomes can have either homozygous or heterozygous alleles that either express a dominant or recessive trait.

1

A monohybrid cross is done with only one trait at a time. A dihybrid cross is done with two traits at a time.

1

The figure above is a punnett square which can be used to calculate the probability of traits in offspring.

1

Cross a heterozygous pair of parents with an allele for eye color as shown above.
What is the genotypic ratio of possible offspring?

1

Using the same heterozygous cross with an allele for eye color, give the phenotypic ratio of possible offspring.

1

Continuing to use the same alleles for eye color, if the Dad was homozygous dominant is there a probability that he could have any blue eyed children?

 
The pedigree chart on the left shows the phenotypic expression of the alleles for hair color in this family.
Dad has brown hair and is heterozygous for the hair color allele, therefore brown hair color must be dominant.
The pedigree chart on the right isn't complete yet because it doesn't show the genotypes of all the family members.  
The Dad's square is shown as 1/2 filled in to represent the 1 dominant brown allele, B. 
The Mother's circle is shown empty because she doesn't have any dominant brown alleles. 

1

Dad and Mom had two children. One son with blonde hair and one daughter with brown hair.

1

Since their son has blonde hair, then he must be homozygous bb.
This means he received one recessive allele from Dad and one recessive allele from Mom.
Therefore, the square representing the son on the right is correct so it shouldn't be shaded in.

1

Since their daughter has brown hair, then she must be heterozygous.
This mean she received Dad's dominant, B, allele and one of Mom's recessive allele, b.
Therefore, the circle representing the daughter on the right should be half filled in like Dad's.

1

Their brown-haired daughter married a brown-haired man.
They had two children, a blonde haired daughter and a brown haired daughter.

1

For them to have had a blonde haired daughter, the daughter would have to get a recessive allele from both Mom and Dad. Therefore, her Dad must be heterozygous, Bb, like her mother. That means his square box on the right should also be half filled in.

1

What was the probability of getting a blonde haired child from the two heterzygous parents?

1

Since both parents are heterozygous, the daughter with brown hair could be either homozygous (BB) or heterozygous (Bb) for the hair color allele.

1

What was the probability of getting a homozygous dominant brown-haired daughter (BB)?

1

What was the probability of getting a heterozygous dominant brown-haired daughter (Bb)?

1

Watson and Crick became famous after they figured out the structure of DNA and won a Nobel Prize for it.

1

Select the incorrect statement about the structure of DNA.

1

Select the incorrect statement about the process of copying a DNA strand.

1

The process of copying DNA strands is called replication.

1

The full name for DNA is ribonucleic acid.

1

Only your sex cells have DNA in them. All of your other cells don't have any DNA in them.

1

DNA can only be seen in a cell when it isn't tightly wound up.

1

The Central Dogma states that DNA is the blueprint for making a single stranded RNA through transcription which is then translated at ribosomes into proteins.

1

RNA bases are A C G and U.

8

Put the correct characteristics with either DNA or RNA strands.

Single strand
Double strand
Bases A C G T
Bases A C G U
located inside nucleus of cell
made in nucleus and moves to cytoplasm
genetic information to make whole organism
genetic code to make proteins
process to copy is replication
process to make is transcription

DNA Strand
RNA Strand

10

Assemble the correct order for the process of translation, when proteins are made at the ribosome.

mRNA is made in nucleus and moves to cytoplasm and goes to an assembled ribosome
ribosome breaks apart
the first triplet is a "Start" codon
mRNA attaches to the small subunit of the ribosome to be translated (read)
rRNA is made in nucleus and moves to cytoplasm to organize a ribosome
tRNA brings the amino acids into the large subunit of the ribosome to match up with the code on the mRNA
the mRNA code is read in triplets called a codon
the assembled string of amino acids are folded into the prote
tRNA is made in nucleus and moves to cytoplasm and picks up amino acids to carry to the ribosome
after all the codons for the protein are read on the mRNA, there is a "Stop" codon

1

Proteins are strings of amino acids held together by a special bond called....

1

If a mutation occurs on the mRNA causing a subsitution, insertion or delection, then the protein will not be assembled correctly and therefore will not function.

1

The top three stimuli that organisms respond to are thirst, hunger, and pain.

1

Circadian rhythm means that an organism functions on a 24 hour biological clock.

1

Hibernation and migration are both cyclical behaviors that organisms use to avoid seasonal changes in weather that affect the amount of food, water and shelter available for an organism.

1

Innate behaviors are extremely important because they promote safety and health for an organism.

1

Habituation, imprinting, imitation, and learning are forms of behavior used by organisms to make food.

1

Phermones allow organisms to communicate with others of their species without being present.

1

Camoflauge is an adaptation that helps organisms stand out in their environment so others can see them easily.

1

Find the statement that is incorrect about Darwin.

4

Natural Selection has 4 principles. Put them in the correct order for evolution to happen.

members of that population who have a slight advantage due to genetics over others in the population survives - called adaptation
members of the population with the trait that allowed them to survive live long enough to pass that gene on to the next generation, called descent with modification
a population of organisms has to have genetic diversity/variation
a population has to grow in size enough to create competition for resources

1

Put the items in the correct category of either supporting the theory of evolution or not supporting it.

similar embryonic development
similar anatomy
vestigial structures like tail bone in humans
analogous structures - flight in birds and insects
homologous structures
molecular evidence
fossils
geography and tetonic plates

Supports theory for Evolution
Doesn't suport theory of evolution

1

Fossils can be dated by the Law of Superposition which states that what is on top is the most recent and layers underneath get progressively older.

1

Fossils can also be dated using radiometric dating. This is when sound waves are measured as they travel through the rocks.

1

Triobites are an example of an index fossil that helps identify the age of sediments because they only lived at a specific time so they aren't found in other sediment layers.

4

Put these in order from the oldest to the most recent in the Geological Time Scale.

Precambria
Mesozoic
Cenozoic
Paleozoic

1

Construct the correct order for the Linnaean classification system starting with the largest grouping to the smallest grouping.

Kingdom
Domai
Genus
Class
Order
Phylum
Specie
Famil

1

Is this the correct format for writing our (humans) scientific name according to the rules of Linnaea's system? Homo Sapiens

6

Put these Kingdoms in their correct domains.

Kingdom Bacteria
Kingdom Archaea
Kingdome Fungi
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Plantae

Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya

1

Select the incorrect statement about the above cladogram.

1

The coelom is the digestive system inside the starfish.

1

The starfish is unusal in that it has three stomachs.

1

Starfish can reproduce sexually by excreting sperm and eggs into the water where fertilization occurs or asexually through the process of regeneration.

1

The mouth of a starfish is located on the dorsal side while the anus is located on the ventral side.

1

Starfish have a water vascular system instead of a heart and blood.

1

Starfish start their lives in a larvae state and then go through metamorphosis to become an adult.
