living in the bottom of the ocean, phototaxis or
chemotaxis?

The use of pesticides on crops has been a common farming practice for decades.
What has been the greatest effect of natural selection through the use of pesticides
on certain insect populations?

that are naturally resistant to it.

letters; homozygous or heterozygous

What suspect is
guilty?

numbered pair
Karyotype

chromosomes
Inheritance 400
Relationship between
generation III person 2 and
generation IV person 6.
Is the disorder sex-linked or
recessive?
Uncle – niece
Recessive – because if it was
sex linked male 5 in generation
IV would have to have it (he got
Y from dad and mom would
have to give X with disorder if it
was sex-linked)
Inheritance 500
• Wolves are sometimes observed to have black coats and blue eyes.
Assume that these traits are controlled by single locus genes and are
located on different chromosomes. Assume further that normal coat
color (N) is dominant to black (n) and brown eyes (B) are dominant to
blue (b). Suppose the alpha male and alpha female of a pack (these
are the dominant individuals who do most of the breeding) are black
with blue eyes and normal colored with brown eyes, respectively. The
female is also heterozygous for both traits. How many of the offspring
(assume 16) living in the pack will be normal colored with blue eyes?
*must show Punnett square for points!

proteins. Possibilities are endless.
Relationships 100
The yucca plant releases a strong scent at night when
the yucca moth is active. The yucca moth, attracted by
the scent, gathers pollen from the yucca flower. The
yucca moth then deposits her eggs and the pollen on
another plant. This ensures that the plant will be crosspollinated and that the yucca moth larvae have a
steady food supply. Which relationship does this best
illustrate?
Mutualism (symbiosis)

similarities and two differences minimum)
