Which statement below BEST summarizes the role of the DNA molecule in cells? A) guides cell division B) protects cells from infection C) provides the instructions for making proteins D) regulates the chemical processes that provide the cell with energy

C. Providing the instructions for making proteins. This is the primary role of DNA in cells. DNA forms the structure of chromosomes, is made of smaller units called nucleotides, and gives a blueprint for the production of proteins.

DNA in the nucleus carries the genetic code for making proteins in ribosomes. The diagram shows a model of DNA. Which part of the DNA molecule codes for the amino acid sequence in the protein?

Part of the DNA molecule which codes for the amino acid sequence in the protein: nitrogen bases. The part in the middle with the G, A, T, C. Sugar and phosphate form the backbone of the DNA molecule, but the nitrogen bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine carry the genetic code used to put amino acids in sequence in a protein.

DNA, in the nucleus carries the genetic code for making proteins in ribosomes. In the diagram, B, represents the proteins produced. DNA cannot leave the nucleus to carry the genetic information to the ribosome where proteins are produced. What does A represent and how does the genetic code get from the nucleus to the ribosome?

A represents RNA. The genetic code in DNA is copied by RNA which can leave the nucleus and carry the code to the ribosome. mRNA copies the DNA code. tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome and proteins are made.

In this Punnett square used to predict genetic crosses, RR represents the _________ of the organism.

RR represents the genotype of the organism. In completing a genetic cross, capital letters represent the dominant trait and lower case letters represent the recessive trait in any genotype.

Zebra mussels have the following genotypes and phenotypes. Which cross would produce the greatest number of heterozygous offspring? A) AA x aa B) Aa x Aa C) AA x Aa D) aa x Aa

AA x aa. Crossing a homozygous dominant and a homozygous recessive individual will produce 100% heterozygous offspring. Creating a Punnett square can help determine this.

Consider the possible genotypes of the offspring of two heterozygous brown goats. What would be the ratio of brown to white offspring in this case? How would that ratio be expressed by a chance percentage?

The ratio of brown to white goats would be 3:1 and the percentage is 75% BB and Bb are brown: bb is white.

Assume that having an attached earlobe vs having an unattached earlobe is controlled by a single gene with the dominant allele (A) representing an unattached earlobe while the recessive allele (a) represents an attached earlobe. Create two Punnett squares showing how two people with unattached earlobes could have a grandchild with attached earlobes.

Draw Punnett Squares.

Which statement is true for asexual reproduction? A) Genetic information from two parents is copied and passed on to form offspring with new genetic information. B) Genetic information from a single parent is copied and passed on to form offspring with new genetic information. C) Genetic information from two parents is copied and passed on to form offspring with identical genetic information. D) Genetic information from a single parent is copied and passed on to form offspring with the same genetic information.

D. During the process of asexual reproduction, genetic information from a single parent is copied and passed on to form offspring with the same genetic information. So, the new daughter cell contains exactly the same genetic information as the parent cell.

_______________ is a function of meiosis rather than a function of mitosis. A) Growth B) Repair of wounds C) Gamete production D) Multiplication of somatic cells.

Gamete production is a function of meiosis rather than a function of mitosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosomes number which is a characteristic of gamete or sex cell production. Mitosis produces exact replicas of the original cell; this process is used for growth, repair, development, and maintenance in an organisms.

If the somatic cells of a human contain 46 chromosomes, then after meiosis new sex cells would contain how many chromosomes?

Sex cells of a human with 46 chromosomes in body cells will contain 23 chromosomes or one-half of the genetic information found in each somatic cell.

All of the following biotechnological advances are possible EXCEPT one. That is the A) reproductive cloning of humans. B) production of transgenic animals. C) use of gene therapy to treat diseases. D) production of disease-resistant agricultural crops.

The cloning of humans. Human cloning is not yet possible, according to most genetic experts. On top of that, it is illegal in almost every nation.

Since the early 1990s, geneticists have produced ____________ crops that yield fruits and vegetables commonly found in U.S. supermarkets. A) large harvest B) genetically modified C) mutationally induced D) transgenically reduced

Genetically modified, or GM, crops are bioengineered to increase production and profits for farmers and consumers.

Explain two ways human genetic engineering is or can be beneficial to humanity. Also, list at least two ways it is or can be harmful.

Answers Vary: May include: Pro: diagnose and treat/cure genetic diseases. Warn people of likely genetic diseases. Reassure people of low likelihood for genetic diseases. Cons: Knowledge of diseases with no cure. Medical information becoming public. Ethics of changing human DNA.

Biotechnology has helped produce crops that are resistant to certain pests, crops that produce high yields, and more nitrogen-efficient crops. What is a negative impact that bioengineered plants may have on the environment?

Example: Beneficial insects may be adversely affected. While some insects are plant pests, many others a necessary to pollinate the flowers of plants that eventually give us fruits, vegetables, and seeds for human use. Bioengineered plants often require less water, fertilizers, pesticides, and the use of herbicides.
