8th Online Variation and Inheritance

This document is a biology exam containing questions about genetics and inheritance. It includes diagrams of cell structures and asks students to label parts A and B, which part becomes visible during cell division. It also defines the terms "variation" and "inheritance" and asks students to state the number of chromosomes in a female dog's egg cell. Students are asked to identify similarities and differences between adult dogs of the same species and explain whether genetic or environmental factors cause the differences. Finally, it shows a family diagram and asks students to identify features the daughter inherited from her parents and explain similarities and differences from her parents.
