Explain how it is possible for two brown furred squirrels to have a white furred offspring?
a) If both parents are heterozygous.
b) If both parents are homozygous dominant.
c) If each offspring gets 100% of its genes from each parent.
d) If the parents have asexual reproduction.
What is true about squirrel reproduction?
a) The offspring are always genetically identical to both of their parents.
b) A set of identical chromosomes is passed on to the offspring.
c) All offspring are identical genetically to each other.
d) The offspring have genetic variation.
What is true about squirrel reproduction?
a) They reproduce sexually because two parents contribute genetic material to the offspring.
b) The offspring are always genetically identical to both of their parents.
c) . A set of identical chromosomes is passed on to the offspring
d) . All offspring are identical genetically to each other.
Chromosomes play an important role in variation because they _________________

b) release energy
c) regulate protein production
d) none of the above
The main effect of a genetic mutation is to _________________.
a) increase rate of reproduction
b) reduce the life span of organisms
c) change a protein produced by the organism
d) keep the genes the same
If a white squirrel that lives in the woods in Odenton is born with this as a mutation, what prediction can be made about the mutation?
a) This mutation would be beneficial because it would help the squirrel blend into the environment.
b) This mutation would be neutral because fur color will not affect the survival of the squirrel.
c) This mutation would be a harmful mutation because it would make the squirrel more visible to predators.
d) There is no way to determine if this mutation would be beneficial, harmful or have no effect at all.
Some scientists claim the gene that controls the production of the proteins for fur color is located on a chromosome. Which of the following provides evidence to support the claim?
a) Other mammals with white fur have genes located in similar locations.
b) Some squirrels have this gene in a different location.
c) A mutation in this gene may cause a variation of fur color.
d) The proteins for fur color is responsible for other traits in squirrels.

b) The breeding season for males and females varies from year to year.
c) They have a very thick coat of hair and can see extremely well.
d) Squirrels can reproduce at a couple months old.
