Choose ALL that apply.
An adaptation is _______.

is an inherited trait.

increases a species’ chances of surviving.

increases a species’ chances of reproducing.

the result of a mutation that was beneficial to the population.

Using complete sentences, compare AND contrast genetic engineering and artificial selection.

_______ is an example of an environmental extreme that an organism might need to adapt to in order to survive.

A mutation can be inherited.

True

False

A trait in a genetically engineered organism can be inherited.

True

False

Which of the following is NOT part of a chromosome?

proteins

cell

deoxyribonucleic acid

amino acids

Match the nitrogenous base with it's pair.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Thymine		Thymine
Adenine		Guanine
Guanine		Adenine
Cytosine		Cytosine

Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.

mRNA
rRNA
tRNA

carries instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
carries amino acids to the ribosome and mtches them to the coded mRNA message
forms an important part of the ribosome

Genes contain the instructions for assembling

chromosomes

proteins

nucleosomes

traits

Inherited traits are:

Dependent on diet

Acquired during an organism’s life

Free of mutations

Passed on from parent to offspring

Gregor Mendel observed that pea plant traits did not blend in their offspring. This led him to conclude that:

Traits are inherited in separate units

Offspring inherit genes from only one parent

Pea plants do not have genes

Traits are not inherited

Artificial selection can occur naturally without human intervention.

True

False

Artificial selection can only be used to improve the physical appearance of an organism, not its behavior or ability to survive.

True

False

Artificial selection is often used by farmers, plant breeders, and animal breeders to produce organisms that are more productive, disease-resistant, or aesthetically pleasing. (aesthetically pleasing is another way to say "looks nice")

True

False
