Test Description: A
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) In sexual reproduction, a new organism is produced when
A
new organism grows from the body of its parent
B
sex cells, sperm and egg, come together
C
body cells divide by mitosis
D
an organism divides into two equal parts
2) Altering the DNA of an organism in order to get the traits we want is called ____.
A
Genetic Engineering
B
Inbreeding
C
Hybridization
D
Human Genome
3) 4. When we did the PTC lab, it was found that tasting for PTC is a dominant trait. Would a non-taster also have to have a non-taster as a parent?
A
Yes, you could only get that result by mating a homozygous taster with a non-taster.
B
No, you could mate two homozygous tasters and have a non-tasting child.
C
No, because both parents could be heterozygous and carry the recessive trait
D
Yes, both parents would have to be recessive also.
4) The combination Tt represents a ___ genotype, where T means ___, and t means ___.
A
purebred; recessive; dominant
B
sex-linked; recessive; dominant
C
homozygous; dominant; recessive
D
heterozygous; dominant; recessive
5) 6. During our “A Game of Chance” activity where you were “making a baby”, what was the % chance of having a boy versus a girl?
A
50% : 50%
B
100% : 0%
C
75% : 25%
D
25% : 75%

A
ACCTAGTTG
B
CAAGCTGGT
C
TGGATCAAC
D
GTTCGACCA
8) In our activity where you made a baby, who determined the sex of the offspring and why?
A
The female because she carries both X and Y
B
The male because he carries both X and Y chromosomes
C
The male, because he’s big and strong
D
The female because she carries the baby.

B
Meiosis; Mitosis
C
Inbreeding; selective breeding
D
Cloning; Hybridization
12) 14. Cloning is like _______ reproduction in that it creates ______
A
unsexual; two new cells that have a similar shape.
B
sexual; a baby from two parents.
C
asexual; an exact copy of the parent organism.
D
sexual; a new organism that is different from the parent organism.
13) A hybrid organism can result when...

B
pureblood, mudblood
C
purebred, hybrid
D
hybrid, purebred
