1 Name: Date: 1. When the bacterium Serratia marcescens is grown on a sterile culture medium in a petri dish at 30, the bacterial colonies are cream colored. When this same bacterium is cultured under identical conditions, except at a temperature of 25, the colonies are brick red. This difference in color is most likely due to the. type of nutrients in the culture medium. sterilization of the culture medium. effect of temperature on the expression of the gene for color D. effect of colony size on the synthesis of color pigments 2. The accompanying data table summarizes the results of an investigation in which seeds from the same plant were grown under different conditions of temperature and relative humidity. 3. The chart below shows relationships between genes, the environment, and coloration of tomato plants. Inherited Gene Environmental ondition Final ppearance Light Green Light White Dark White Dark White Which statement best explains the final appearance of these tomato plants?. The expression of gene is not affected by light.. The expression of gene varies with the presence of light.. The expression of gene varies with the environment. D. Gene is expressed only in darkness. Which conclusion can be drawn from the information in the data table?. olor in this species is determined by genes, only.. Many characteristics are not inherited.. Mutations occur only when plants are grown at low temperatures. D. There is an interaction between environment and heredity. page 1

2 4. The puppies shown in the photograph below are all from the same litter. 6. To determine the identity of their biological parents, adopted children sometimes request DN tests. These tests involve comparing DN samples from the child to DN samples taken from the likely parents. Possible relationships may be determined from these tests because the. base sequence of the father determines the base sequence of the offspring. DN of parents and their offspring is more similar than the DN of nonfamily members. position of the genes on each chromosome is unique to each family D. mutation rate is the same in closely related individuals The differences seen within this group of puppies are most likely due to. overproduction and selective breeding. mutations and elimination of genes. evolution and asexual reproduction D. sorting and recombination of genes 5. s male children get older, some begin to closely resemble their fathers and have no resemblance to their mothers. Which statement best explains this observation? 7. Most cells in the body of a fruit fly contain eight chromosomes. How many of these chromosomes were contributed by each parent of the fruit fly? D ase your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the information and diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. The diagram below shows the results of a test that was done using DN samples from three bears of different species. Each DN sample was cut into fragments using a specific enzyme and placed in the wells as indicated below. The DN fragments were then separated using gel electrophoresis.. Several sperm fertilized the egg, so the fertilized egg contained more genes from their father.. More genes are inherited from the sperm cell of their father than from the egg cell of their mother, so most traits will be like those of their father.. More genes from their father are expressed in traits that can be seen, and more genes from their mother are expressed in traits that cannot be seen, such as blood type or enzyme function. D. Genes from their father are stronger than genes from their mother, so the genes from their mother are not expressed. Which two bears are most closely related? Support your answer with data from the test results. 9. Identify one additional way to determine the evolutionary relationship of these bears. page 2
