What is the relationship among chromosomes, DNA, and genes?
a) DNA, which is made up of bundles of genes, is located on chromosomes.
b) Genes, which are made up of sequences of DNA, are located on chromosomes.

Why are the mutations generated in a species' gene pool important?
a) The mutations reduce variation.
b) The mutations prevent inbreeding.
c) The mutations maintain equilibrium.
d) The mutations cause evolution.

Scientists believe that mutations occur regularly and are constantly generated in a gene pool. With such constant mutations, why do scientists say that evolution is a very slow process?
a) Mutations only affect germ cells.
b) Mutations are immediately destroyed.
c) Most mutations kill the victim before reproduction occurs.
d) Most mutations occur on regions that are not gene-coded.

a) Species A and B will merge into one species.
b) Species A and B will endure great surges of mutations.
c) Species A will evolve, whereas species B will have few surviving members.
d) Species A will become extinct, whereas species B will have surviving members.
