Test 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome is what? | a sperm. |
| Which life cycle stage is found in plants but not animals? | multicellular haploid. |
| Homologous chromosomes move toward opposite poles of a diving cell during? | meiosis I. |
| Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that? | sister chromatids separate during anaphase. |
| If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase of mitosis I would be? | 2x. |
| How many different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes can be packaged in gametes made by an organism with a diploid number of 8 (2N=8)? | 16. |
| What is a gene? | a heritable until that determines a character; can exist in different. |
| What is an allele? | an alternative version of a gene. |
| What is a character? | a heritable feature that varies among individuals. |
| What is a trait? | a variant for a character. |
| What is a dominant allele? | determines phenotype in a heterozygote. |
| What is a recessive allele? | has no effect on phenotype in a heterozygote. |
| What is a genotype? | the genetic makeup of an individual. |
| What is a phenotype? | an organism's appearance or observable traits. |
| What is a homozygous? | having two identical alleles for a gene. |
| What is a heterozygous? | having two different alleles for a gene. |
| What is a testcross? | a cross between an individual with an unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive individual. |
| What is a homohybrid cross? | a cross between individuals heterozygous for a single character. |
| In his work with pneumonia-causing bacteria and mice, Griffith found that? | some substance from pathogenic cells was transferred to nonpathogenic cells, making them pathogenic. |
| What is the basis for the difference in how the leading and lagging strands of DNA molecules are synthesized? | DNA polymerase can join new nucleotides only to the 3' end of a growing strand. |
| In analyzing the number of different bases in a DNA sample, which result would be consistent with the base-pairing rules? | A + G= C + T. |
| The elongation of the leading strand during DNA synthesis | depends on the action of DNA polymerase. |
| In a nucleosome, the DNA is wrapped around | histones. |
| When she adds some DNA to the mixture, replication occurs, but each DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired with numerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has she probably left out of the mixture? | DNA ligase. |
| The spontaneous loss of amino acids groups from adenine in DNA results in hypoxanthine, an uncommon base, opposite thymine. What combination of proteins could repair such damage? | nuclease, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase. |
| When a cell is ready to divide the DNA is in what form? | chromosomes. |
| The backbone of DNA is made of the molecules? | phosphate and deoxyribose. |
| The centrosomes | grow spindles and migrate to the poles. |
| What does not occur in prophase and mitosis? | tetrads form. |
| Between meiosis I and meiosis II there is a brief period of resting and growth called what? | interkinesis. |
| Mitosis goes through ____ cell division(s)? | 1. |
| An organism has 6 homologous pairs of chromosomes. After DNA replication the organism has ____ chromatids. | 24. |
| An organism is diploid and has 8 chromosomes total. The cell goes through meiosis. How many chromosomes does each daughter cell have? | 4. |
| Crossing over occurs in | prophase I. |
| During Meiosis, the cells become haploid at what stage? | Anaphase I/Telophase I. |
| The nuclear envelope reforms in which stage of meiosis? | telophase I and II. |
| The law of segregation states that? | each person has 2 alleles that are divided during meiosis. |
| A recessive allele | is represented by a lowercase letter. |
| A gene codes for skin color in naked mole rats. Which of the following would be an example of the alleles? | pink skin and green skin. |
| Genetics is | applied in many fields such as medicine and history, the study of DNA, & study of traits. |
| What is the original form of genetics? | selective breeding. |
| Medical uses of genetics include | screening for chromosomal disorders, identifying viral diseases (caused by viruses), inserting new genes into organisms, & preventing the rejection of organs in transplants. |
| DNA fingerprinting (or DNA gels) can be used to | identify suspects, family members, remains of victims, & detect bacteria and viruses. |
| The listing of all the base pairs in a genome is called? | DNA sequencing. |
| An apple seed is in a fruit. The seed development from which part of the flower? | ovule. |
| The pollen is produced by the _____ and carries the _____. | anther, sperm cells. |
| Sexual reproduction does what? | combines gametes, produces a zygote, requires meiosis, & uses mitosis for growth. |
| True or False. Interphase can be broken into 1 sub-phases of replication and 2 sub-phase of growth. | True. |
| True or False. When going through Meiosis DNA is not replicated. | False. |
| True or False. Males spilt cells evenly in meiosis to make 4 sperm but females keep all the cytoplasm in one cell making one large egg. | True. |
| True or False. In human XY is female and XX is male. | False. |
| True or False. All traits are predetermined by genes, the environment has no influence. | False. |
| ___ Color blindness is located on the X chromosome. | sex linked traits. |
| ___ A breed of a dog can have short hair (HH or Hh), or long hair (hh). | complete dominance. |
| ___ Height is controlled by several genes. | polygenic. |

| ___ Plants raised in clay brown, those raised in soil are green. | Environmental influence. |
| ___ Hermaphroditic slugs mate and produce baby slugs. | sexual reproduction. |
| ___ A seastar is broken in half and new sea star grows from each piece. | asexual reproduction. |
| ___ Male frogs ride piggy-back and release sperm as females lay eggs. | sexual reproduction. |
| ___ A potato grows eye that fall off and become new plants. | asexual reproduction. |
