Mitosis takes place in plant cells, whereas meiosis takes place in animal cells. B. Mitosis takes place in reproductive cells, whereas meiosis takes place in body cells. C. Mitosis takes place in body cells, whereas meiosis takes place in reproductive cells. What does the notation TT mean to geneticists? A. homozygous dominant alleles B. heterozygous alleles C. at least one dominant allele D. one dominant and one recessive allele 8. All cells divide either by mitosis or meiosis. Which of these BEST describes the cell types in which these processes occur? A. Sexual reproduction requires only one parent to produce offspring. When sex cells combine to produce offspring, each sex cell will contribute A. one fourth the number of chromosomes in body cells. B. half the number of chromosomes in body cells. C. the normal number of chromosomes in body cells. D. twice the number of chromosomes in body cells. Mitosis takes place in complex organisms, D. whereas meiosis takes place in primitive organisms.

Ranchers historically have used genetics to produce new varieties of cattle. Buffalo can tolerate both hot and cold temperatures but have meat that is not as tasty and tender as beef. Cattle that are subjected to severe temperature extremes produce meat that is neither tender nor good-tasting. What good qualities might a "beefalo" (cross between cattle and buffalo) possess? A. Animals that tolerate heat and cold but do not have good-tasting meat. B. Animals with good-tasting meat but no tolerance to heat. 13. 10. Animals that tolerate cold but do not have goodtasting meat. 14. B. Both genes and environmental factors. What is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a genetic cross between two hybrid tall pea plants? A. one in four B. two in four C. three in four D. four in four 15. If a homzygous black guinea pig (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white guinea (bb), what is the probablility that an offspring will have black fur? Brown eys are dominant to blue eys. Both of Donna's parents have brown eyes, but Donna has blue eyes. What is the BEST explanation for why Donna has blue eyes? A. 25% A. B. 50% All of Donna's grandparents must have had blue eyes. B. Both of Donna's parents carry a gene for blue eyes. C. Donna's mother probably carries the gene for blue eyes. D. Donna's father probably carries the gene for blue eyes. D. 100% 12. Genes only. D. A person's karyotype. C. 75% 11. A. C. A person's blood type. Animals that tolerate heat and cold and have C. good-tasting meat. D. What factors can affect a person's height? What would be the bet way to predict the probability of a baby having cystic fibrosis? A. by studying the parents' karyotypes. B. by studing the family's pedigree chart. C. by exploring the new methods of genetic engineering. D. by determining whether the parents have codominant alleles. 16. The Human Genome Project can help genetic engineers produce human proteins because Thad is a potato farmer who is trying to produce potatoes that are large and resistant to fungus. Which of these would be best for him to use to produce only large, fungus-free potatoes? A. budding B. fertilizers C. irrigation system D. selective breeding A. identical twins have identical DNA. B. the Human Genome Project has determined the structure of transfer RNA. C. the Human Genome Project has determined the structure of human proteins. 17. to produce a protein, geneticists must know the D. sequence of DNA bases that codes for the protein. Which of these traits is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles? A. straight hairline B. smile dimples C. widow's peak D. blood type Go on to the next page » DataDirector Assessment ID: 18719 Page 2 of 4 © 2011 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights reserved.

Chromosome pairs separate and are distributed into new sex cells. B. DNA mutations or changes in chromosomes C. Dominant alleles only. Each sex cell copies iteself to form four new C. chromosomes. D. D. Recessive alleles only. Chromosome pairs remain together when new sex cells are formed. 23. 19. The picture above shows a starfish common to the Mediterranean Sea. They are a problem because they tangle fishing nets and eat shellfish, such as oysters. Frustrated fishermen would pick starfish out of their nets and cut them into little pieces. Unfortanately, this only helped the starfish to reproduce and make more starfish. This type of reproduction is A. sexual reproduction by regeneration. B. sexual reproduction through gamete production. Students made a chart of different models showing the reproduction process in four organisms. Part A What conclusions can you make about the type of reproduction used by each organism in the chart? Part B Explain the difference between the number of parent cells in the reproduction of the bacteria and the fish shown in the chart. Part C Explain one advantage for the type of reproduction used by bacteria. Part D Compare the genes in the fist offspring with the genes in both parent fish. C. asexual reproduction by budding. D. asexual reproduction by fragmentation. 20. All living things are created through a process of A. growth B. metabolism C. respiration D. reproduction 21. Hemophilia is caused by a(an) A. recessive allele on the X chromosome. B. extra chromosome. C. dominant allele. D. codominant allele.

Broccoli and cauliflower are related to the wild mustart plant. The diagram shows pictures of the ancestor plant as well as the modern day vegetables. Mustard plants are very easy to grow. A single mustard plant can produce as many as 100 seeds. Some of the seed produces plants with characteristics different from the original parent plants. Over time, farmers kept careful records of the plants that developed from different seeds. They would save the seeds from those plants for future planting. By using selective breeding the farmers developed plants with the large immature flowers that people could eat. These are the modern broccoli and cauliflower plants. The life cycle of the broccoli varies from 60 to 150 days. The life cycle of cauliflower varies from 95 to 203 days. Part A Explain how all three plants reproduce. Part B What causes the differences in the three plants? Part C Identify the process used by farmers to develop the broccoli and cauliflower plants from the mustard plant. Why was it important to keep careful records during the process? Part D Propose a hypothesis about how farmers could develop carrot seeds that produce very sweet carrots. Stop!
