Homologous structures, which have similar underlying structures but may have different functions, are formed by

4 / 40

Which type of biome is found at the lowest latitudes?

5 / 40

Some rocks feature red bands or streaks made up of iron oxides, formed when iron reacts with oxygen. These originated from dissolved iron in the oceans, which formed oxides and settled to the ocean bottom. What allowed this chemical and physical process to occur?

In fruit flies, brick-red eye color is dominant to a bright orange color called cinnabar. A fruit fly with heterozygous eye color geno-type is crossed with homozygous recessive fruit fly. What is the probability of inheritance for the cinnabar phenotype and the heterozygous genotype?

15 / 40

Which of these mutations in a gene will MOST LIKELY result in a shortened protein with a long sequence of substituted amino acids?

16 / 40

19 / 40

Which of these plant forms are diploid? I. Spore II. Sporophyte III. Gametophyte

20 / 40

Human ABO blood typing is determined by the proteins present on red blood cells. The gene that codes for these proteins has three alleles: IA, IB, and i. IA codes for protein type A, IB codes for protein type B, and i codes for the absence of protein. IA and IB are codominant and i is recessive to both IA and IB. A woman with blood type A and a man with blood type AB marry and produce children. Which of the following blood types is NOT possible in their children?

21 / 40

Which of these is an example of polygenic inheritance?

30 / 40

The steps of protein synthesis and modification take place in several different locations throughout the cell. What is the proper order of these locations, from start to finish? I. Ribosome II. Nucleus III. Golgi apparatus IV. Endoplasmic reticulum

31 / 40

A genetic mutation that adds a nucleotide to a protein-coding sequence of DNA creates an early stop codon. How will this influence the resulting protein?
