  1. EOCT practice Domain III: Genetics

  2. 1. What is the diploid chromosome number in a human body cell? • 23 • 32 • 44 • 46

  3. 2. The gene for red/green colorblindness in humans is recessive and primarily affects males. It must be located on • the X chromosome • the Y chromosome • both the X and Y chromosomes • either the X or Y chromosome

  4. 3. Which of the following shows how information is transformed to make a protein? • DNA → RNA → protein • gene → chromosome → protein • cell respiration → ATP → protein • ATP → amino acid → protein

  5. 4. The genetic disorder trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) is caused by what genetic event? • crossing-over • nondisjunction • base pair substitution • frame-shift location

  6. 5. Pea plants have seeds that are either round or wrinkled. In this cross RR x Rr, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? • 50% RR and 50% Rr • 25% RR, 50% Rr, and 25% rr • 50% round seeds and 50% wrinkled seeds • 100% round seeds R = Round Seeds r = Wrinkled Seeds

  7. Answers 1-5 • D • A • A • B • D

  8. 6. The process by which the order of bases in messenger RNA (mRNA) codes for the order of amino acids in a protein is called • translation • transcription • replication • nondisjunction

  9. 7. A gene that is sex-linked is BEST described as which of the following? • It results in all male offspring. • It results in all female offspring. • It is located on the X chromosome. • It is located inside the mitochondria.

  10. 8. Which of the following correctly shows the shape of a DNA molecule?

  11. 9. The observed trait that appears in an organism as a result of its genetic makeup is called the organism’s • allele • genotype • phenotype • karyotype

  12. 10. Why is it important for the cells of multicellular organisms to undergo mitosis? • Mitosis allows for reproduction with male and female gametes. • Mitosis increases variation within an organism. • Mitosis produces cells that are different from the original dividing cell. • Mitosis produces identical cells to the original dividing cell.

  13. Answers 6-10 • A • C • D • C • D

  14. 11. Which of the following correctly lists the phases of the cell cycle starting with interphase? • 4, 1, 2, 3, 6, 5 • 4, 6, 1, 5, 2, 3 • 4, 1, 6, 3, 5, 2 • 4, 1, 5, 6, 3, 2

  15. 12. How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell? • 11 • 23 • 34 • 46

  16. 13. The genetic code in DNA is represented by unique codons that represent a specific amino acid. Which of the following represents a codon? • G • TA • GCGC • CAT

  17. 14. The cell shown below is undergoing mitosis. The daughter chromosomes are moving toward opposite poles of the cell. Which phase of mitosis is shown to the right? • anaphase • metaphase • prophase • telophase

  18. 15. Two organisms, each with genotype AaBb, are crossed. The expected phenotypic ratio in the F1 generation is expected to be • 4:4:4:4 • 7:6:2:1 • 8:4:2:2 • 9:3:3:1

  19. Answers 11-15 • C • B • D • A • D

  20. 16. In rabbits, albinism (b) is recessive to normal brown coloration (B). When an albino female was crossed with a brown male, they produced 4 brown offspring and 1 albino. What was the genotype of the male parent? • bb only • Bb only • BB only • BB or Bb

  21. 17. In protein synthesis, translation is the process that directly results in the • production of amino acid chains • manufacture of mRNA • copying of one DNA molecule into two molecules • movement of protein from one cell to another

  22. 18. Information on mRNA is used to make a sequence of amino acids into a protein by which of the following processes? • replication • translation • Transcription • transference

  23. 19. What is a source of genetic variation? • mutation • adaptation • replication • transcription

  24. 20. ATG is a DNA triplet that codes for an amino acid. Which mRNA codon will pair with the ATG triplet? • ATG • GTU • TAC • UAC

  25. Answers 16-20 • B • A • B • A • D

  26. 21. Which of the following is the correct base-pairing rule for DNA? • A-U; C-G • A-G; T-C • A-T; G-C • A-C; T-G

  27. 22. A mutagenic factor that can alter DNA by the loss of a chromosome segment is known as • translocation • crossing over • deletion • nondisjunction

  28. 23. In Mendel’s experiments with a single trait, the trait that disappeared in the first generation and reappeared in the next generation is called the • homozygous trait • dominant trait • recessive trait • heterozygous trait

  29. 24. Changes to an organism’s DNA can cause unexpected traits to be expressed in its offspring. DNA in an individual’s gametes will most likely be altered before being passed to offspring if exposed to • x-rays • loud sounds • magnetic fields • extreme temperatures

  30. 25. Agricultural companies have developed the ability to control the genetic characteristics of their crops. Genetic engineering techniques have been used to produce all of the following effects EXCEPT • grow salt-tolerant crop plants • decrease harvesting time • make crop plants resistant to disease • decrease soil nitrogen levels

  31. Answers 21-25 • C • C • C • A • D

  32. 26. In fruit flies, the gray body color (G) is dominant to the ebony body color (g). What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring of a cross between a heterozygous gray female and an ebony male? • 25% Gg, 75% gg • 50% Gg, 50% gg • 75% gray, 25% ebony • 100% gray

  33. 27. The process of meiosis produces gametes. How does this process increase reproductive variability? • Different combinations of alleles are produced. • Each allele from the parent cell forms a separate gamete. • Each pair of genes undergoes crossing-over with different genes. • The two genes are passed on to a daughter cell, resulting in new traits.

  34. 28. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. A characteristic of RNA is that it • remains in the chromosomes in the nucleus • is involved in translating information in DNA into proteins • undergoes crossing-over during meiosis • is replicated during the process of mitosis
