1. How many different phenotypes are possible in the offspring of two parents with genotypes AA and aa, where A is the dominant allele for a trait and a is the recessive allele for the same trait? onetwo
three
four
2. A woman buys red-flowering and blue-flowering plants of the same species and plants them in her garden. The plant undergoes both self-fertilization and cross-fertilization. The woman collects seeds and plants them the following spring. What can the woman expect to observe in the flowers of the new generation of plants if the gene for flower color is codominant? (1 point)
plants with red flowers and plants with blue flowers
plants with both red and blue flowers
plants with red flowers, plants with blue flowers, and plants with purple flowers
plants with purple flowers
3. What is formed at the end of meiosis?
two genetically identical cells
four genetically different cells
four genetically identical cells
two genetically different cells
4. Which of the following is true concerning DNA replication?
The original DNA molecule remains intact, although it acts as a template for the formation of a copy that contains two new antiparallel strands.
The leading strand is copied in the 5’ to 3’ direction and the lagging strand is copied in the 3’ to 5’ direction.
Both strands are copied to form Okazaki fragments, which are later annealed by DNA ligase.
The replication process proceeds on both strands in the same direction, which requires that RNA primers bind to the lagging strand.
5. Which of the following will be directly affected in a bacterial cell that has a mutation in its gene for RNA polymerase?
Which of the following will be directly affected in a bacterial cell that has a mutation in its gene for RNA polymerase?
transcription
translation
gene regulation

What are centrioles?

A biologist is in the process of classifying a newly discovered fungus. The observed characteristics include chitin in the cell walls and flagellated spores. To which group does the organism most likely belong?

An experiment was carried out to answer the question "Does the pH of water affect the growth of radish plants?" Two groups often radish plants were set up. One group was watered with water having a pH of 3.0, and the other group was watered with water having a pH of 7.0. Both groups of plants received the same amount and intensity of light, the same amount of water, and they were grown in the same type of soil. The heights of the radish plants were measured every 2 days for a period of 2 weeks. Which activity might help to increase the validity of this experiment?

According to PET scan results, what do cocaine addicts process less efficiently?

In humans carbon dioxide that is excreted passes from the blood directly into the?

The combustion of glucose ultimately involves the transfer of electrons to oxygen (O2). In biological systems, this takes place without a large increase in temperature. Which of the following statements about this process in biological systems is true? 1) Coupled oxidation-reduction reactions occur with electrons being passed to intermediate electron carriers. 2) The process involves the transfer of 12 pairs of electrons to oxygen. 3) The transfer of electrons from intermediate electron carriers to molecular oxygen is catalyzed by the electron transport chain. 4) Though the process is a controlled oxidation, some energy is lost.
