Identify the continent that would be exposed to the most UVB radiation due to ozone depletion.
Antarctica
Ozone
Protects the earth from UV radiation
Which of the following statements about the greenhouse effect is true?
The greenhouse effect is made worse by the burning of fossil fuels.
Name an animal that lives in a tropical pitcher plant?
Crab spider
What are the two different strategies of plants growing in a new clearing in a jungle?
Slow/steady and fast growing climbers
Where do rainforests mainly occur?
In equatorial regions
Prior to mitosis, each chromosome of a eukaryotic cell consists of a pair of identical structures called
Sister chromatids
When animal cells are grown in a petri dish, they typically stop dividing once they formed a single, unbroken layer on the bottom of the dish. This arrest of division in an example of
Density-dependent inhibition
Which of the following occurs during interphase?
Cell growth and duplication of the chromosomes
Looking into your microscope, you spot an unusual cell. Instead of the typical rounded cell shape, the cell has a very narrow middle separating two bulging ends. It appears to resemble the number 8. Then you realize that this cell is
Undergoing cytokinesis
At the start of anaphase of mitosis,
Sister chromatids separate
Which of the following statements regarding sexual and asexual reproduction is true?
Only offspring from asexual reproduction inherit traits from one parent
What is the main purpose of meiosis in a sexual life cycle?
To reduce chromosomes number from diploid to haploid.
Which of the following statements regarding the differences between mitosis and meiosis is false?
Meiosis provided for asexual reproduction
Two chromosomes in a nucleus that carry loci for the same gene in the same positions on the chromosome but specify different versions of some traits constitute a pair of
Homologous chromosomes
Which of the following statements if false?
Gametes are made by mitosis
During which stage of meiosis does crossing-over occur?
Prophase I
Nondisjunction occurs when
Members of a chromosome pair fail to separate
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up on a plane equal distance from the two poles?
Metaphase
You are asked to grow an unidentified sample of animal tissue. You notice that the cells seem not to exhibit density-dependent inhibition. Which of the following choices would be the most likely source for this tissue sample?
A cancerous tumor
Which of the following does not enhance genetic diversity?
Mitosis of somatic cells
All the offspring of a cross between a black-eyed beetle and an orange-eyed beetle have orange eyes. This means that the allele for black eyes is ____ the allele for orange eyes.
Recessive to
A monohybrid cross is
A breeding experiment in which the parents differ in only one character.
What is the expected genotypic ratio of the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross.
1:2:1
if A is dominant to a and b and B is dominant to b, what is the expected phenotypic ratio of the cross AaBb x AaBb?
9:3:3:1
All the offspring of a cross between a red-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant have pink flowers. This means that the allele for red flowers is ____ to the allele for white flowers.
Incomplete dominant
The expression of both alleles for a trait in a heterozygous individual illustrates
Codominance
Luke Skywalker’s parents have normal hearing. However, Luke Skywalker has an inherited form of deafness. Deafness is a recessive trait is associated with the abnormal allele ‘d’. The normal allele at the locus, associated with normal hearing, is “D”. Luke Skywalker’s parents could have which of the following genotypes?
Dd and Dd
Alleles of a single gene are found at ____ chromosomes?
The same locus on homologous
Which of the following terms refers to the situation where a single phenotypic characteristic is determined by the additive effects of two or more genes?
Pleiotropy

The gene for color vision is linked to the X chromosomes
Which one of the following is false?
DNA uses the nitrogenous base uracil
Who is credited for determining that the sugar/phosphate backbones are parallel?
Franklin
How would the shape of a DNA molecule change if adenine paired with guanine and cytosine paired with thymine? The DNA molecule would
Have irregular widths along its length

Uses each strand of a DNA molecule as a template for the creation of a new strand.
Which of the following statements regarding the structure of DNA is false?
The sugar of DNA is ribose
