Question 1

Flies have wing lengths ranging from very long to very short.
Flies with long wings are less likely to survive.
Flies with long wings can produce offspring with short wings.
Flies with short wings prefer to mate with flies with long wings.

B. segregation.
C. independent assortment.
D. incomplete dominance.

cross of two brown minks that could produce offspring with
silver fur?
A. Bb × Bb
B. BB × Bb
C. BB × bb
D. Bb × bb
Question 11

represents the recessive allele, in which pair of crosses must
all of the offspring produced have the same phenotype?
A. Bb × bb and BB × Bb
B. BB × BB and Bb × Bb
C. Bb × bb and Bb × Bb
D. BB × Bb and BB × bb
Question 12
Which of the following statements best explains why
offspring produced by sexual reproduction often look similar
to, but not exactly the same as, their parents?
A. The offspring have genetic material from both the
mother and the father.
B. The cells of the offspring contain all the dominant
genes from the parents.
C. The cells of the offspring undergo mitosis many
times as the offspring grow and develop.
D. The offspring have a period of embryonic
development, rather than being
Question 13
In which situation could a mutation be passed on to the
offspring of an organism?
A. A cell in the uterine wall of a human female
undergoes a chromosomal alteration.
B. Ultraviolet radiation causes skin cells to undergo
uncontrolled mitotic division.
C. The DNA of a human lung cell undergoes random
breakage.
D. A primary sex cell in a human forms a gamete that
contains 24 chromosomes.
Question 14
Which best explains how meiosis is a contributing factor to
genetic variation within a species?
A. Meiosis reduces the number of mutations within an
organism.
B. Meiosis produces daughter cells that will contain identical
chromosomes.
C. Meiosis results in offspring that contain alleles from only
one parent gamete.
D. Meiosis allows for crossing over of chromosomes,
resulting in new gene combinations.
