Question 1
Question
What is a gene?
Answer
-
A "recipe" for how to make a protein.
-
A sequence of DNA nucleotides that provide a chemical message for printing a protein.
-
Denim pants
Question 2
Question
What is a locus?
Answer
-
A "fixed address" on a chromosome
-
A cicada
-
A "street map" for where certain genes are on the chromosomes
Question 3
Question
What is an allele?
Answer
-
A group of genes that determine a trait
-
One of different versions of a gene
-
Variations of a protein recipe
Question 4
Question

Answer
-
A101
-
C3PO
-
A201
Question 5
Question
Blood Type B allele
Answer
-
Type B only has one allele
-
B101
-
All about that bass
Question 6
Question
Blood Type O allele
Answer
-
O01
-
O02
-
O03
Question 7
Question
Why are the "O" allele blood-type proteins non-functional?
Answer
-
Because they are the wrong sequence of amino acids.
-
A nucleoide has been deleted from the 258th position on the gene.
-
Every amino acid after the deletion is wrong!
Question 8
Question
Varied alleles lead to....
Answer
-
Varied proteins
-
The same proteins
-
Both functional and non-functional proteins
Question 9
Question
What is a phenotype?
Answer
-
A record player
-
An inherited physical characteristic
-
What you look like, based on your genes
Question 10
Question
One-gene phenotypes are
Answer
-
The physical characteristics resulting from an allele at a single locus
-
For example, what color socks you buy
-
For example, blood type
Question 11
Question
Poly-genic phenotypes are...
Answer
-
Alleles at two or more loci
-
Produce proteins that interact to produce a physical trait
-
For example, skin color, hair color, and eye color
Question 12
Question
We inherit
Answer
-
1 set of chromosomes
-
2 sets of chromosomes
-
3 sets of chromosomes
Question 13
Question
What is a recessive allele?
Answer
-
An allele that is only expressed when there are no dominant alleles around.
-
An allele that is always expressed
