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.

False

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

True

False

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

False

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

True

False

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

A  1:2:1    75% chance of brown eyes and 25% chance for blue eyes

A  Yes

B  No

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

True

False

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.

True

False

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.

True

False

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

True

False

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.

True

False

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

A 25%

B 50%

C 75%

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

False

Select the incorrect statement about the structure of DNA.

A The overall shape is that of a twisted double helix.

B The backbone consists of nucleotides which are made up of a base, sugar and phosphate.

C The DNA strands are antiparallel.

D The base pairing rule pairs A with C and G with T.

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

A The nitrogen bases in the middle are held together with either 2 or 3 hydrogen bonds which allows the strand to "unzip" easily to be copied.

B  The backbone is held together with strong covalent bonds which helps hold the strand in place while being copied.

C Replication can only move from the 5' to the 3' direction.  This results in one strand being filled in backwards.  This means it gets copied slower and so it is called the leading strand.  The strand that is copied straight forward is called the lagging strand.

D Purines match up with pyrimidines.

The process of copying DNA strands is called replication.

True

False

The full name for DNA is ribonucleic acid.

after all the codons for the protein are read on the mRNA, there is a "Stop" codon

the assembled string of amino acids are folded into the prote

the first triplet is a "Start" codon

ribosome breaks apart

tRNA brings the amino acids into the large subunit of the ribosome to match up with the code on the mRNA

tRNA is made in nucleus  and moves to cytoplasm and picks up amino acids to carry to the ribosome

rRNA is made in nucleus and moves to cytoplasm to organize a ribosome

mRNA attaches to the small subunit of the ribosome to be translated (read)

mRNA is made in nucleus and moves to cytoplasm and goes to an assembled ribosome

False

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

True

False

Find the statement that is incorrect about Darwin.

A  Darwin went on the ship, HMS Beagle, around the world and collected information about animals and habitats.

B A major part of the information Darwin used to support his theories were from the animals on the Galapagos Islands - two different tortoises and the many different finches.

C Darwin is given the credit for the theory of evolution because he had a mechanism for it to occur: natural selection

D Darwin's theory about evolution was popular and accepted by the public during his life.

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

a population of organisms has to have genetic diversity/variation

a population has to grow in size enough to create competition for resources

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

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