Key Idea 2
Review Questions
Key Idea 2: Organisms inherit genetic information
in a variety of ways that result in continuity of
structure and function between parent and
offspring.
1.)
What are inherited, but their expression can be
modified by the environment?
2.)
What does every organism require a set of coded
instructions for specifying?
3.)
What is transferred from one generation to the next,
in order for offspring to resemble their parents?
4.)
What is the term that refers to the passing of
instructions from one generation to the next?
5.)
What is hereditary information contained in?
6.)
Where are genes located in each cell?
7.)
What can an inherited trait be determined by?
8.)
What can a single gene influence?
9.)
Where, in a human cell, are many thousands of genes
located?
10.)
What type of reproduction results in all of the genes
for an organism coming from a single parent?
11.)
What type of reproduction results in the offspring
receiving half of its genetic information form the mother
and half from the father?
12.)
Who, do sexually produced offspring, resemble, but,
are not identical to?
13.)
In all organisms, what are the coded instructions for
specifying the characteristics of an organism, carried in?
14.)
What are the four kinds of bases that make up DNA?
15.)
What process requires a DNA template?
16.)
What stores and uses coded information?
17.)
What does the genetic information stored in DNA,
direct the synthesis of, that every cell requires?
18.)
What are genes segments of?
19.)
What is an alteration in the DNA sequence called?
20.) Where must a mutation be located, in order for it to be passed on
to offspring?
21.)
What are proteins made up of?
22.) What is the base-pairing rule?
23.) What determines the function of a protein?
24.) What have new varieties of cultivated plants and domestic
animals, resulted
from?
25.) How is it possible for organisms to have cells with
different functions, even
though they all have the same genetic information?
26.) What technique can result in new varieties of plants and
animals by
manipulating their genetic instructions to produce new
characteristics?
27.) What can be used to cut, copy, and move segments of DNA?
28.) What is produced by inserting a segment of human DNA into
a bacterial
plasmid (circular DNA)?
29.) What can alter genes?
30.) What may be passed on to every cell that develops from
that original cell?
