Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Biotechnology is currently being used to effectively do which of the following?

Produce human gene products
Diagnose diseases
Only Choice 1 and 3 are correct

Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
What two enzymes are needed to produce recombinant DNA?
Polymerase and ligase
Restriction enzyme and ligase
Transcriptase and ligase
Restriction enzyme and reverse transcriptase
Ligase and reverse transcriptase
Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
The ?central dogma? of molecular genetics is that genetic information is coded in self-replicating DNA and undergoes unidirectional transfer to messenger RNAs in transcription which act as templates for protein synthesis in translation. The exception to part of this statement is:
retroviruses
tumor viruses
plasmids
restriction enzymes
gene cloning

2/3
1/2
1/4
Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
A couple has two children who both have blue eyes and blonde hair. Both parents are homozygous for blue eyes (bb), but the mother has brown hair (Hh) and the father is a blonde (hh). What is the probability that their next child will have blue eyes and brown hair?
1
1/2
1/4
1/8
1/16
Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Which of the following best describes the parents in a testcross?
Both individuals are heterozygous
Both individuals are homozygous
Both individuals have the recessive phenotype
One individual has the dominant phenotype and the other has the recessive phenotype
Both individuals have an unknown phenotype
Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Which of the following is true of the Law of Independent Assortment?
It states that the alleles at different loci separate independently of each other in a monohybrid cross.
It is the reason that the expected ratio in the F2 generation is 9:3:3:1.
It states that individuals have 2 alleles for each gene and gametes end up with only one of the two alleles.
It states that if an organism has two different alleles for a gene, only one allele has a noticeable effect on the organism?s appearance.
More than one of the above answers is correct.
Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
A pair of homologous chromosomes
often have different lengths
often have different alleles
often have different genes for different traits
are separated into different daughter cells during the process of mitosis
would have both been inherited only from the mother or only from the father
Question 10 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Polygenic inheritance is best represented by which of the following?
Skin pigmentation in humans
ABO blood group in humans
White and purple flower color in pea plants
Colorblindness in humans
Pink petal color in snapdragons
Question 11 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
In human blood groups, Rh positive is dominant over Rh negative. A woman with A positive blood has a son who is B negative and a daughter who is O positive. Which of the following represents a possible genotype for the mother?
IAi rr
IAi RR
IAIA RR
IAIA Rr
IAi Rr
Question 12 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Based on the data in the chart below, answer the question that follows. Assume that the wild type parental fly (gray body/normal wings) is heterozygous for the traits, and that the recessive parental fly (ebony body/vestigial wings) is homozygous recessive for the traits. A total of 2000 flies were counted.
What could be concluded about these genes?
They are sex-linked, and affect only males.
They are autosomal on separate chromosomes.
They are autosomal but at opposite ends of the same chromosome.
They are not affected by crossover events.
They are linked on the same chromosome and experienced a crossover event.
