Prepared by: Washima B. Sabtal

I. Identify the following terms. Write the letter of the correct answer on the space provided before each
number.
Cell Membrane Mitochondrion Cytoplasm Chloroplast
Nucleus Rough ER Smooth ER
Golgi Apparatus Lysosome

________________1. Which part of the cell controls cell activities and transmits hereditary information?
________________2. Which is the membranous part that transports substance and serves as a site of lipid
synthesis?
________________3. Which part of the cell serves as a venue for cellular respiration and is known as the
powerhouse of the cell?
________________4. What is the structure that separates the cell contents from its environment?
________________5. Which part contains digestive enzyme that helps break down larger molecules in the cell?
________________6. Which part functions for the photosynthetic activities of a plant cell?
________________7. What is the structure that contains ions, substances and suspended organelles?

For numbers 8-10, write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the otherwise.
________________8. Ribosomes, the main organelle involved in protein synthesis, are composed of subunits
that are produced by the Golgi apparatus.
________________9. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and true nucleus; whereas, prokaryotic
cells have no nucleus and organelles.
_______________10. Microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments keep the whole cell and its
organelle intact.

II. Complete the three basic components of the cell theory by arranging these words in proper order. (2
points each)

1. ORGANISMS OF CELLS ARE ALL MORE LIVING COMPOSED OR ONE

2. OF BASIC CELL THE UNIT IS LIFE

3. COME CELLS PRE-EXISTING ALL FROM CELLS

III. Circle T if the statement is true and F if otherwise.

T F 1. During the three subphases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles
enabling the cell to prepare for the cell division.
T F 2. In prophase II of meiotic division, pairing of homologous chromosomes and crossing over occur to
trade segments of their chromosomes.
T F 3. In metaphase of mitosis, the homologous chromosomes align to the metaphase plate while the
microtubules on the opposite poles attach to the homologue.
T F 4. During prophase, the nucleus and chromatin fiber become tightly coiled which forms into
chromosomes while nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear.
T F 5. In anaphase, the homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell.
IV. Solve for the genetic problems. Two point each for:

A. Genotype of the parents D. Phenotypic ratio

B. Punnett Square E. Conclusion/Answer to question(s)
C. Genotypic ratio

1. In dogs, wire-haired (H) is dominant to smooth-haired (h). In a cross of a homozygous wire-haired dog with a
smooth-haired dog, what will be the phenotype of the F1 generation? What would be the genotype? What would
be the ratio of the wire-haired dogs in the F1 generation?

3. When a pure strain of tall plants with round peas is crossed with a pure strain of short plants with wrinkled
peas, an F1 generation is produced. The alleles for short and wrinkled are recessive to those tall and round seed,
respectively. What is the probability of having tall and wrinkled peas?

4. In humans, widow’s peak (H) is dominant over a continuous hairline (h), and short fingers (F) are dominant
over long fingers (f). Two heterozygous individual with widow’s peak and short fingers wants to have a child
with continuous hairline and long fingers. Is this possible?

(A)_____________________________ (B)

V. Examine the following pedigree chart and answer the question below. (5 points each)

1. Is the gene for the condition dominant ore recessive? _________________

2. Is the gene for the condition dominant or recessive?

VI. Draw a pedigree chart based on the given situation below: (10 points)

1. A blue-eyed man, whose parents were brown-eyed, marries a brown-eyed woman. The woman’s father was
brown-eyed while her mother was blue-eyed. They have on female child who is blue-eyed. Blue-eyes are
mostly recessive. Make a pedigree chart and label the genotypes of the individuals in the chart.
