    BIOLOGY

    Matching - Select which word that best matches the statement.

    A. Allele
    _____1. The genetic make-up of an organism

    _____2. The physical traits of an organism B. Diploid

    _____3. An alternate form of a gene C. Genotype

    _____4. A full set of chromosomes found in somatic cells D. Haploid


    _____5. A single set of chromosomes found only in gametes
    E. Phenotype

    Multiple Choice - Select the most appropriate answer.

    _____6. In Holstein cattle their coats can be a solid color or spotted. A spotted coat is due to a recessive gene while a
    solid coat color is dominant. If two spotted cattle were crossed, what phenotypic results would be expected?

    A. All spotted offspring


    B. All solid offspring
    C. 50% spotted offspring & 50% solid offspring
    D. 75% solid offspring & 25% spotted offspring

    _____7. Animals need sex cells known as gametes for sexual reproduction. These cells are produced from which of the
    following processes?

    A. Mitosis
    B. Meiosis
    C. Binary Fission
    D. Asexual Reproduction

    _____8. In Mendel’s pea plants, plant height is controlled by a single gene in which the tall allele is dominant to the
    short allele. Which of the parental genotypes would produce 75% tall pea plants and 25% short pea plants?

    A. TT x Tt
    B. TT x tt
    C. Tt x Tt
    D. Tt x tt

    _____ 9. Crossing over between non-sister chromatids during meiosis is significant in heredity. This process most
    likely leads to an increase in which of the following?

    A. The expression of dominant traits

    B. Number of gametes

    C. The occurrence of polyploidy

    D. Genetic variation

    _____ 10. Tomato plants usually have hairy stems. Hairless stems are present in tomato plants that are homozygous
    recessive for the trait. If the stem characteristics are determined by a single gene, what is the expected
    outcome of crossing two tomato plants that are heterozygous for hairy stems?

    A. 75% hairy stems: 25% hairless stems


    B. 100% hairy stems
    C. 100% hairless stems
    D. 50% hairy stems: 50% hairless stems
