In DNA replication, DNA polymerase
catalyzes the reaction in which
the double helix unwinds
the sugar-phosphate bonds of each strand are broken
a phosphate group is added to the 3’-carbon or 5’carbon of ribose
a nucleotide with a base complimentary to the base on
the template strand is added to the new DNA strand
the two nucleotide strands come together and
intertwine to form a double helix

All of the following are true statements
about meiosis in mammals EXCEPT:
Bonus!
It serves as a factor in bringing about
variation among
If the diploid number of
offspring
chromosomes in a cell is 28,

how many chromosomes will be
in each gamete after meiosis?
It occurs only in reproductive
structures
A)56
B)28
It produces cells with
C)14the haploid number of
chromosomes

Analysis of DNA sequences from two individuals of
the same species results in greater estimate of
genetic variability than does analysis of amino acid
sequences from the same individuals because
different DNA sequences can code for the same amino
acid
some amino acid variations cannot be detected by
protein electrophoresis
DNA sequencing is a more reliable technique than
protein electrophoresis
proteins are more easily damaged than is DNA
DNA is more heat-sensitive and therefore varies more
1,400,P
During development, individual cells of
the same organism begin to produce
different proteins because
the cells have different numbers of chromosomes
not all cells can synthesize proteins
specific genes are activated in the cells
the cells have different kinds and amounts of DNA
genes are permanently lost as somatic cells
differentiate

Actinomycin D is an antibiotic drug that inhibits protein
synthesis by blocking transcription. In some cells, the
application of the drug does NOT affect the synthesis of certain
proteins. Which of the following best explains such an
occurrence?
Not all proteins need tRNA molecules for their synthesis.
Some proteins that are made are using mRNA synthesized
before application of the drug.
Nuclear proteins do not require the cytoplasmic machinery of
ribosomes.
DNA transcription is not necessary for protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis is blocked in the cytoplasm at the ribosome level.

A child is born with blood type A to a mother with
blood type B. If the father has blood type AB, which
of the following statements is correct about the
mother? (where IA = A, IB = B, i = O)
She contributes an IB allele, which is recessive to the
father’s IA allele.
She contributes an i allele, which is recessive to the
father’s IA allele.
She contributes an IB allele, which is codominant to
the father’s IA allele.
She contributes an i allele, which is codominant to
the father’s IB allele.
She is homozygous for the IB allele.

Coat color in mice is determined by genes at two
loci. When black mice from a particular population
mate, they produce offspring in the following ratios:
9 black: 3 brown: 4 white. These results suggest
that white coat color is expressed as a result of
dominance
incomplete dominance
codominance
a sex-linked trait
epistasis

In sheep, eye color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles.
When a homozygous brown-eyed sheep is crossed with a

their offspring will most likely have brown eyes?
0%
25%

In peas the trait for tall plants is dominant (T) and the trait for
short plants is recessive (t). The trait for yellow seed color is
dominant (Y) and the trait for green seed color is recessive (y).

104 tall green plants. Which of the following are most likely to
be the genotypes of the parents?
TtYy x TTYy
TTyy x TTYy
TtYy x TtYy

In humans, red-green color blindness is a sexlinked recessive trait. If a man and a woman
produce a color-blind son, which of the

A form of vitamin D-resistant rickets, known as
hypophosphatemia, is inherited as an X-linked dominant
trait. If a male with hypophosphatemia marries a normal
female, which of the following predictions concerning
their potential progeny would be true?
All of their sons would inherit the disease.
All of their daughters would inherit the disease.
About 50% of their sons would inherit the disease.
About 50% of their daughters would inherit the
disease.
None of their daughters would inherit the disease.

Achondroplastic dwarfism is a dominant genetic trait that causes
severe malformation of the skeleton. Homozygotes for this
condition are spontaneously aborted (hence, the homozygous
condition is lethal) but heterozygotes will develop to be dwarfed.
Matthew has a family history of the condition, although he does not
express the trait. Jane is an achondroplastic dwarf. Matthew and
Jane are planning a family of several children and want to know the
chances of producing a child with achondroplastic dwarfism.
If three children are born to Matthew and Jane, what are the
chances that the first two children will not express the trait but that
the third child will be an achondroplastic dwarf?
