EXAM UNIT 3-4
Chapters 7-14
1.) If a hybrid has a phenotype that is midway between the phenotypes of its pure-breeding parents, the trait being studied is probably
controlled by:
a. incompletely dominant alleles. c. codominant alleles.
b. multiple alleles. d. linked genes.
2.) A chart or "family tree" that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait is called a:
a. pedigree. c. Punnett square.
b. karyotype. d. phenotype.
4.) How many chromosomes are found in each diploid cell of a person with Down syndrome?
a. 47 c. 45
b. 22 d. 24
5.) In guinea pigs, black color is dominant. When two hybrid black guinea pigs are crossed, the probability of producing a white guinea pig
is:
a. 0%. c. 50%.
b. 25%. d. 75%.
7.) A genetic disorder that produces abnormally thick mucus in the lungs and intestines is called:
a. sickle-cell anemia. c. cystic fibrosis.
b. hemophilia. d. Down syndrome.
9.) If one strand of DNA has the sequence of nitrogenous bases AACTG, its complementary strand has the sequence:
a. TTGAC. c. AACTG.
b. UUBAC. d. AACUC.
10.) You are told that one of a child's parents has type A blood, while the other parent has type B blood. The child's blood type:

a. the same plants and animals. c. different plants and animals.
b. no identifiable plants or animals. d. similar fossils.
24.) Darwin drew support for his theory of evolution from the idea that fossils demonstrate that:
