Put the following cellular components in order of size from smallest to largest:
nucleus, chromosome, cell, nucleotide, gene
nucleotide, gene, chromosome, nucleus, cell
The drawing below shows how chromosomes are distributed during cell division. What specific process does this drawing represent?
Mitosis
Assume that in humans, brown eyes ( B) is dominant over blue eyes (b). The mother’s genotype is bb and the father’s is Bb. What are the predicted genotype for the offspring?
Bb = 2
bb= 2
In a certain species of mouse, gray fur ( G) is dominant over cream-colored fur (g). If a homozygous gray mouse is crossed with a cream-colored mouse, the genotype of the F 1 generation will most likely be
75% Gg, 25% gg
Two copies of gene are called
alleles
A brain cell and a liver cell have very different functions in the human body. Explain how these two cells from the same organism can have such very different functions, even though they share the same DNA.
The genes in cells are turned on and off in different combinations, depending on the cell type and the proteins needed for its function. Genes are expressed if the organism needs to use them, and repressed if they are not needed. The different combination of expressed and repressed genes allows the cells to have different functions.
What is one function of mitosis?
to equally divide replicated chromosomes into daughter cells
What would be the genotype for a heterozygous parent of purple and smooth corn.
PpSs
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes serious respiratory problems. Brad and Janet are healthy adults with three children. Two of the children appear to be healthy and one child has cystic fibrosis. The normal allele is represented as C. The disease-causing allele is represented as c. A person who is homozygous for the c allele will have the cystic fibrosis disease.
a. What are the possible genotypes for a healthy child?
b. What is the genotype for the child with cystic fibrosis?
a. CC or Cc. b. cc.

Four stages in the production of protein molecules in a cell are listed below.
1 - Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome.
2 - DNA molecules serve as templates for messenger RNA molecules.
3 - Messenger RNA molecules move to ribosomes.
4 - A chain of amino acids forms on the ribosome.
Which sequence best represents the correct order of these stages?
2 – 3 – 1 – 4
What are the stages of mitosis
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
