Questions and CORRECT Answers
Genetics - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of heredity or inherited traits
Do all organisms have variety of traits? - CORRECT ANSWER - Yes. structure,
appearance, behavior etc.
Factors of traits - CORRECT ANSWER - environment can affect traits and can be
heritable
All living things on the planet reproduce to make progeny that ___________ to their
parents.(offsprings) - CORRECT ANSWER - look similar
Why can we classify organisms into species? - CORRECT ANSWER - Since all living
things reproduce to make progeny that look similar to parents
Even though offspring generally look like their parents, there're ___________ in traits between
members of the same species. (dog breeds) - CORRECT ANSWER - differences
What allow evolution by natural selection to occur? - CORRECT ANSWER - difference in
traits between members of the same species
Each organism has its own _____________ that allows it to develop like a member of its species.
- CORRECT ANSWER - genome or genetic blueprint
Genome - CORRECT ANSWER - All the genetic information in an organism; all of an
organism's chromosomes.
, Gene define "genetically" - CORRECT ANSWER - controls aspect of its phenotype and
passed onto offsprings
Gene define "molecularly" - CORRECT ANSWER - A segment of DNA on a chromosome
that codes for a specific trait
What is the difference in the genome between individuals which makes them look and behave
differently - CORRECT ANSWER - Mutation
The genetic blueprint info (genes) that passes between generation are stored where? - CORRECT
ANSWER - chromosome(s)
What are the areas of genetics? - CORRECT ANSWER - Transmission, Molecular,
Population
What is transmission genetics? - CORRECT ANSWER - Concerned with the study of
inheritance in individuals. Methods used by Gregor Mendel to study inheritance.
What sub-field of genetics focus on how traits are passed down fr. generation to generation? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Transmission Genetics
What are alleles? - CORRECT ANSWER - different versions of the same gene
What are genotypes? - CORRECT ANSWER - the exact versions of genes that organism
have
What is molecular genetics? - CORRECT ANSWER - the subfield of genetics that studies
the genetic info stored, coded, replicated and expressed.
What are changes in DNA called? - CORRECT ANSWER - mutations
