fertilization
D
new gene combinations
6) Mutations
A
are constantly happening in the gene pool.
B
cause more offspring to be heterozygous.
C
happen more often to homozygous gene pairs.
D
do not happen very often.
7) Which of the following best describes the result of a mutation in an organism’s DNA?
A
The mutation causes damage when it occurs.
B
The mutation may produce a zygote.
C
The mutation may cause phenotypic change.
D
The mutation creates entirely new organisms.
8) For a long time, penicillin was given to people to kill the bacteria which caused ear infections. Lately, some ear infections are not cured by penicillin. Which is the best explanation for this?
A
Some bacteria have mutated and are not killed by the penicillin.
B
Some bacteria reproduce faster than the penicillin.
C
Some ear infections are caused by bacteria from sore throats.
D
Not enough penicillin was taken to kill all the bacteria.
9) Genetic mutations are harmful or beneficial changes that occur in an individual’s
A
amino acid sequence of a gene.
B
nucleotide base sequence in a protein.
C
amino acid sequence in DNA.
D
nucleotide base sequence in DNA.
10) Harmful genetic mutations that occur in an individual’s somatic cells will
A
not be passed to offspring.
B
cause cancer in the individual’s offspring.
C
cause cancer in the individual.
D
harm the individual’s offspring.
11) Genetic engineering to create biomedical products that benefit society often involves the use of recombinant DNA technology. Recombinant DNA is DNA that has
A
resistance to genetic disease.
B
been taken from a crime scene.
C
genes inserted from other organisms.
D
many genetic mutations.
12) DNA manipulation is used to produce beneficial products, such as human insulin. Strands labeled A and C are both part of the same individual's DNA. When DNA fragment B is inserted in between fragments A and C, the resulting DNA is know
A
mitochondrial DNA
B
a clone.
C
a mutated gene

production of new gene combinations
B
reduction of chromosome number by one-half
C
crossing-over of homologous chromosomes
D
