GENETICS 5.
A man with A blood type marries a woman
1. A genotype is the ________ that an individual
has for a character, while the phenotype is the
_______ of a character.
A. Physical traits; alleles
B. Set of alleles; physical appearance
C. Alleles from mom; alleles from dad
D. Expressed alleles; unexpressed alleles
2. What is the pattern of inheritance of the
diagram below?
A. Autosomal recessive
B. Autosomal dominant
C. Sex linked recessive
D. Sex linked dominant
3. When cattle with solid white coats (W) are
mated to cattle with solid red coats (R), the
offspring are roan (WR), meaning they have coats
containing both white and red hairs. The roan
coat is an example of codominance.
A farmer mates two roan cattle.
What is the chance that their offspring will also
be roan?
A. 100 C. 50 %
B. 75 D. 25
4. In some chickens, feather color is controlled by
codominance. When a black chicken mates with a
white chicken, all of the offspring are covered in
both black and white feathers. A farmer mates a
black chicken (BB) with a black-and-white (BW)
chicken. What are the predicted phenotypes of
their offspring?
A. All of the offspring will have black
feathers.
B. All of the offspring will have black-and-
white feathers.
C. 75 % of the offspring will be black, and 25
% of the offspring will be white.
D. 50 % of the offspring will be black, and 50
% of the offspring will be black-and-white.
with B blood type. Their child has type O. What
is the genotype of the man?
A. Ai C. BB
B. AA D. AB
6. Tongue rolling (the ability to roll the tongue) is
a dominant trait in humans. A woman who can
roll her tongue is married to a man who cannot
roll his tongue. They have four children, only two
of whom can roll their tongues. What could be
the genotypes of the parents (woman x man)?
A. rr x rr C. Rr x rr
B. RR x rr D. Rr x Rr
7. In leopard frogs, black spots (B) are dominant
over brown spots (b). A homozygous recessive
male frog mates with a heterozygous female frog.
What percentage of the offspring will have black
spots?
A.0% C. 25%
B. 50% D. 75%
8. In Australian Shepherds dog, black fur (FB) is
codominant white fur (FW). The heterozygous
phenotype is spotted fur. A homozygous male
with black fur mates with a spotted female. What
percentage of the offspring from this cross are
expected to be white?
A. 0% C. 50%
B. 25% D. 75%
9. A man with blood type O marries a woman
with blood type A. All of their five children have
blood type A. What is the woman’s most likely
genotype?
A. IA IB C. IA IA or AA
B. IA i or AO D. ii
10. An affected male and a normal female have
four children: two affected daughters and two
normal sons. Each of the affected daughters (and
their normal husbands) produced affected sons
and affected daughters. The couple's normal sons
married normal women and had all normal
children. What is the most likely mode of
inheritance for this trait?
A. autosomal dominant
B. autosomal recessive
C. sex-linked dominant
D. sex-linked recessive
11. Having two identical alleles for a trait. 19. What is recombinant DNA?
A. genotype C. hybrid A. DNA that has been sequenced
B. pure D. phenotype B. DNA that causes genetic disorders
12. A colorblind male marries a carrier female. C. Adding DNA from one organism into the
What is the chance that their child will be DNA of another
colorblind? D. DNA which has been changed over
A. 0% C. 50% generations by natural selection
B. 25% D. 100% 20. One way to introduce new DNA into an
13. The "Central Dogma" of protein synthesis can organism is
be summed up as follows: A. gene splicing
A. DNA --> transcription --> RNA --> translation B. replication
B. DNA --> translation --> RNA --> transcription C. transcription
C. DNA --> RNA --> transcription --> translation D. removing introns
D. DNA --> RNA --> translation --> transcription
14. What is the differences between DNA and
RNA?
A. The DNA sugar is ribose; the RNA sugar is
deoxyribose.
B. DNA is usually double stranded; RNA is
usually single stranded.
C. Thymine is found in the RNA nucleotides;
Uracil takes the place of thymine in DNA.
D. All of the above.
15. If the DNA coding strand is ACAGTCGAT,
the complementary (non-coding) strand will be
A. ACAGTCGAT C. UGUCAGCUA
B. UCUGACGUA D. TGTCAGCTA
16. If the DNA coding strand is ACAGTCGAT,
the mRNA strand will be
A. ACAGTCGAT C. UGUCAGCUA
B. UCUGACGUA D. TGTCAGCTA
17. DNA polymerase is the enzyme that
A. Unzips the DNA strands
B. Edits the new DNA molecule
C. Ties together new pieces of DNA
D. Adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA
strand
18. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules functions
for:
A. Have a midsection known as a codon
B. encodes the genetic code for RNA
C. Are formed from non-functional mRNA
molecules
D. Pick up specific amino acids and take them
to the ribosome.
