in humans is true?

B. Both genes come from the mother.
C. One gene comes from the mother and one gene comes from the father.
D. The genes come randomly in pairs from either the mother or father.

6. Long radishes crossed with round radishes result in all oval radishes. Which type of
inheritance is explained?
A. Multiple alleles
B. Complete dominance
C. Co-dominance
D. Incomplete dominance.

7. In drosophila (fruit flies), eye colour is sex-linked and red eye colour is dominant to white
eye colour. Which of the following are not possible in a cross between a red-eyed male
and a heterozygous female?
A. Red-eyed male
B. White-eyed male
C. Carrier female
D. Homozygous white-eyed female.

8. If one parent has type A blood and the other parent has type B blood, what blood type
will the offspring denoted and why?
A. Type A, because the type A alleles is dominant to type B alleles.
B. Type B, because the type B alleles is dominant to type A alleles.
C. Type AB, because it is the inheritance of co-dominance.
D. Type O, because it is universal donor.

9. A strand of DNA with the sequence A A C T T G will have a complimentary strand with
the following sequence:
A. CCAGGT, because adenine is paired to cytosine and thymine is paired to guanine.
 B. AACTTG, because in ladder base the adenine must only attach to adenine and so
on.
C. TTCAAG, because adenine is paired to thymine, cytosine to cytosine, and guanine to
guanine.
D. TTGAAC, because adenine is paired to thymine, and cytosine paired to guanine.

10. Which blood type would not be possible for children of a type AB mother and a type A
father, and why?
A. O, because the only type of the parents have are AB alleles and A alleles.
B. A, because A alleles is dominant to AB alleles.
C. B, because B alleles is dominant to AB alleles
D. AB, because the type of inheritance is co-dominance.

11-13. Read the problem.

 A red (RR) bull is mated with a red (RR) cow 1.

 A red (RR) bull is mated with a white (WW) cow 2.
 A roan (RW) is mated with red (RR) cow 3.

11. What will be the phenotypes of the offspring in first mated animals, and why?
A. White, because the genotypes of the parents are both homozygous recessive.
B. Red, because the genotype of the parents are both homozygous dominant.
C. Roan, because the genotype of the parents are heterozygous dominant and
homozygous recessive.
D. Red and white, because the offspring of the parents are both heterozygous
dominant.

12. What will be the phenotypes of the offspring in second mated animals, and why?
A. Red and white, because the offspring of the parents are both heterozygous
dominant.
B. White, because the genotypes of the parents are both homozygous recessive.
C. Red, because the genotype of the parents are both homozygous recessive.
D. Roan, because the genotype of the parents are both homozygous dominant.

13. What will be the phenotypes of the offspring in third mated animals, and why?
A. Red and roan , because the genotype of the parents are homozygous dominant and
heterozygous dominant.
B. Red and white and roan, because the offspring of the parents are both heterozygous
dominant.
C. White, because the genotypes of the parents are both homozygous dominant.
D. Roan, because the genotype of the parents are both homozygous dominant.

14. What blood type (or types) can be found in an offspring if a mother has type IA blood
and the father has type IB blood? And why?
A. A, because A alleles is dominant to B alleles.
B. B, because B alleles is dominant to A alleles.
C. AB, because the genotype of the parents are both dominant.
D. O, because it is universal donor.
 15. What blood type (or types) can be found in an offspring if a mother has type O blood and
the father has type B blood? And why?
A. B, because B alleles is dominant to O alleles.
B. AB, because the genotype of the parents are both dominant.
C. O, because O alleles is dominant to B alleles.
D. B and C is correct.

16-18.
The Punnett square below shows the inheritance of the sex chromosomes.
Represent the female sex chromosomes with XX and the male sex
chromosomes with XY.

X X

X XX XX

Y XY XY

16. What will be the sex of a child produced when an egg is fertilized by a sperm that has a
Y chromosome? And why?
A. Male, because the one it fertilized the egg is Y chromosome.
B. Female, because the one it fertilized the egg cell is X chromosome of the male.
C. Gay, because the chromosome that fertilized the egg cell is defected.
D. A and B is correct.

17. What type of sperm must fertilize an egg to result in a female child? And why?
A. Y chromosome, because the chromosomes for female is XY chromosomes.
B. X chromosome, because the chromosome for female is XX chromosomes.
C. YY chromosomes, because the chromosome for female is YY chromosomes.
D. A and C is correct.

18. Based on this Punnett Square, what percent of children would you expect to be male?
And why?
A. 100% because the phenotype of the offspring is all XX chromosomes.
B. 100% because the phenotype of the offspring is all XY chromosomes.
C. 50% because on the half of the punnet square is XX chromosomes.
D. 50% because on the half of the punnet square is XX chromosomes.

19. DNA looks like a “twisted ladder”. If the “rungs” of the ladder are made up of
nitrogenous bases, what are the hand rails or backbone of the ladder made up of?
A. Sugars and Salts
B. Phosphates
C. Sugars
D. Sugars and Phosphates

20. A baby is XY for the gender or sex chromosome. What will be the baby? And why?
A. Boy, because XY chromosome is for male.
B. Girl, because the XY chromosome is for female.
C. Puppy, because the XY chromosome is not for human but for dogs.
D. Can’t tell, because there is no XY chromosome.
