    This document contains a biology test with multiple choice and true/false questions about genetics concepts like the central dogma, meiosis, Punnett squares, and mutations. It also includes short answer questions asking students to make a claim supported by evidence and reasoning about how genetic mutations can be passed down and affect traits. One question provides family genotypes and asks how two brothers could have different hair/eye traits given the dominant and recessive alleles inherited from their parents.

    Unit 2 Test
    HS-LS3-2

    (2 points each) True or False. (True = A; False = B) If the statement is false, correct the underlined portion of the statement to make it true.

    1. Individuals must show a trait in order for it to appear in their offspring.

    2. The central dogma of Biology states that information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins.

    3. In incomplete dominance, two dominant genes are expressed separately at the same time.

    (2 points each) Multiple Choice. Choose the best answer to the questions below.

    4. During transcription, _____________________


    a. Proteins are synthesized or created c. mRNA is made
    b. DNA is replicated or copied d. Translation occurs

    5. There are ______ chromosomes shown in a normal human karyotype.


    a. 2 c. 23
    b. 44 d. 46

    6. The principles of probability can be used to ___________________.


    a. predict the traits of the offspring of genetic crosses
    b. determine the actual outcomes of genetic crosses
    c. determine which species should be used in genetic crosses
    d. decide which organisms are best to use in genetic crosses

    7. In the Punnett square to the right, the letters R and r represent ______________.
    a. Chromosomes c. Genes/alleles
    b. Individuals d. sex cells

    8. The environment can affect genetic traits. The following evidence supports this claim:
    a. Oak trees get taller as they grow. c. Hydrangea flower color varies with soil pH.
    b. Red and white horses have roan offspring. d. Dandelion plants are self-pollinating.

    9. In order for there to be a change in the proteins our bodies produce, there must first be a mutation in
    the _______________.
    a. DNA c. tRNA
    b. Protein d. mRNA

    Claim (2)-Evidence (3)-Reasoning (3). (plus two points for attempting all three)

    10. On April 26, 1986, the world's worst nuclear accident happened at the
    Chernobyl. An explosion and fire in one of the reactors caused the entire area to
    be covered with radiation. Silvia and her husband Abram were home at the time of
    the explosion, but soon evacuated to Michigan, U.S.A. Nothing appeared to be
    wrong with them physically. After living in Michigan for several years, Silvia and
    Abram had a daughter who was born with a genetic mutation which caused her to
    have a cleft palate. Based on this information, explain what caused Silvia and
    Abram’s daughter to be born with a cleft pallet.

    11. Dwarfism is a disorder of bone growth. There is a specific type of


    dwarfism caused by a point mutation in the FGFR3 gene. All people who
    have only a single copy of the normal gene and a single copy of the
    mutated gene have achondroplasia. Most people who have this specific type
    of dwarfism have average-size parents.
    Make a claim to explain why a mutation in a gene would affect bone
    growth and how this is passed down from parent to offspring even
    though the parents are average-sized. (hint: what would a change in a
    gene cause in the bigger picture?)
    Biology Ms. Coder

    12. In the following situation,


    Please note that brown hair is a dominant trait and blue eyes are a recessive trait.
    B = brown hair, b = blonde hair; E = brown eyes, e = blue eyes.

    The Robertson family is made up of Amy


    (mother), John (father), Deonte (son), and Eric
    (son).

     Amy has brown hair and brown eyes


    (BbEe).
     John has brown hair and brown eyes
    (BbEe).
     Deonte has blonde hair and blue eyes (bbee).
     Eric has brown hair and brown eyes (BBEE)
    Drawn above are the body cells for Amy, John, Deonte, and Eric. How is it possible that Eric looks so much
    like his parents yet Deonte does not? (Hint: Try drawing Meiosis (you must replicate first) for Amy and John. Is it
    possible to make Deonte’s genotype? What would have to happen?).
