Section 1: Meiosis
1. Identify the stages of meiosis below:
What type of cell am I:
Somatic or Gamete?
2. Meiosis creates (circle correct answer) 2 or 4 cells that are diploid or haploid.

4. The following diagram is called a _____________________________.

chromosomes.
7. The mother of this baby was worried her child would have Down’s Syndrome. Does she need to worry?
8. Explain how a geneticist would determine if this child did have Trisomy 21, Down’s Syndrome. How do
Trisomy disorders occur?
Section 2: Mendelian Genetics:

give us?
Use T =tall pea plant and t =short pea plant, R = round seeds and r = wrinkled seeds
10. Define and distinguish between dominant and recessive genes. Give an example of each using the
information above.
11. Define and distinguish between genotype and phenotype. (You must know and use the word ‘allele’.)
Give a possible example of each from the information above.
12. Define and distinguish between homozygous and heterozygous. Give a possible example of each from the
information above.
13. What would the phenotypic ratios be in the following scenarios (use punnett squares if necessary):
a) homozygous short plant x homozygous short plant
b) homozygous tall plant x heterozygous
c) heterozygous x heterozygous
14. What is a sex-linked trait? What chromosome(s) are involved in sex-linked traits? How does the 23rd pair
of chromosomes differ in humans between males and females? What gender of human is more likely to
carry a sex-linked trait and why?
15. Hemophilia is a sex linked trait. A woman without hemophilia (whose father had hemophilia) marries a
man without hemophilia. They visit a genetic counselor to determine the likelihood that their children will
inherit the disease.
a. What is the genotype of the man:_______________________
b. What is the genotype of the woman:_____________________
c. Show their cross below:
d. What is the probability that their:
i. Child will inherit hemophilia:
ii. Female child will inherit hemophilia:
iii. Male child will inherit hemophilia:
16. Define and write out an example of incomplete dominance. (Make up possible alleles and traits.)
17. Define and write out an example of co- dominance. (Make up possible alleles and traits.)
18. What is this following diagram called?
a. How many males are in the above diagram?_________ How many affected males?_______
b. Number the generations. How many children does the couple in the first generation have?
c. Explain how the couple in generation 3 could have children that are both affected & not affected.
Use a punnett square to justify your answer:
Section 3: Evolution
19. According to evolutionary biologists/geologists, approximately how old is the Earth?
20. What is the difference between adaptation and acclimation?
21. There are 3 types of polar bears: ones with thick coats,
ones with thin coats and ones with medium
coats. It is fall, soon to be winter. The temperatures are
dropping rapidly and the bears must be kept
warm, or they will freeze to death. Many of the bears have had
~2 cubs each but due to the extreme
temperatures, many mothers only have one cub left.
a. What bear will natural selection select AGAINST?
_________________ FOR? _________________
Darwin's 5 points: Identify the 5 points in the scenario above.
Population has variations. _________________________________________________________________
Some variations are favorable. _____________________________________________________________
More offspring are produced than survive.____________________________________________________
Those that survive have favorable traits. _____________________________________________________
A population will change over time. ________________________________________________________
22. Some traits, such as the human appendix & the hipbones of a whale, are passed on despite the fact they are
no longer used the by organism. What are these structures called?____________________________
23. The relationship between a cheetah and a gazelle is often
used as an example for “evolutionary arms race.” Explain
why.
24. Why is this statement a misconception: “Evolution gives organisms what they need”
Section 5: Classification
25. What is the order that the kingdoms appeared according to evolutionary biologists?
26. What happens to the number of shared
characteristics as you move from Domain to
Species?
