What are the characteristic of a cell?

Question 1(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.04 lc) which of the following is true about repetition in an experiment? it involves setting up of a hypothesis. it involves multiple trials. it involves data analysis. it involves peer review. question 2(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.03 mc) the trait for flower color in a plant has red and white alleles. the red color is the dominant trait. what is the phenotypic ratio for a cross between plants with red (rr) flowers and white (rr) flowers? 4 red : 0 white 3 red : 1 white 2 red : 2 white 0 red : 4 white question 3(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.01 mc) the following table describes some biotechnological processes. biotechnological processes process description 1 producing offspring that have identical dna as one parent 2 crossing a high-yielding fruit variety with a high-vitamin variety which biotechnological processes are described in the table? both processes describe cloning. both processes describe genetic engineering. process 1 describes cloning and process 2 describes artificial selection. process 1 describes artificial selection and process 2 describes cloning. question 4(multiple choice worth 3 points) (05.04 mc) which of the following adaptations best polar bears walk on snow? furry feet slippery feet small feet white-colored feet question 5(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.01 hc) a team of scientists altered the dna of e. coli bacteria. the bacteria thus developed had the ability to generate insulin exactly identical to the human insulin molecule. what could be the likely impact of this biotechnology on the individual and the society? the medical costs for insulin-dependent patients would rise. large-scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time. the price of insulin available from sources other than bacteria may fall. the patients who take insulin may become infected with e. coli bacteria. question 6(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.03 lc) which of the following is used to represent a recessive trait in a punnett square? an uppercase letter a lowercase letter a shaded square a shaded circle question 7(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.03 mc) cystic fibrosis is a recessive gene disorder. the pedigree chart for a family known to have cystic fibrosis is shown below. a half shaded circle is shown connected by a straight line to an unshaded square. underneath the half shaded circle are the letters aa which represent the genotype for the first parent. underneath the second parent the letters, aa, appear representing the genotype for the other parent. below this is another row of circles and squares. this 2nd row represents the offspring. starting from the left a half shaded circle is shown connected to an unshaded square, followed by an unshaded square, and then an unshaded circle. each of the circles and squares, offspring, are connected by a horizontal straight line that connects to the parent group above. the genotype is written under each of the offspring in order from left to right; aa, aa, aa, aa. what percentage of the offspring have observable disease? 0% 25% 50% 75% question 8(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.03 lc) which of the following is an example of a homozygous recessive allele? rr rr rr rw question 9(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.03 mc) the pod color in pea plant can be yellow or green. a pea plant with yellow pods (yy) is crossbred with another pea plant with green pods (yy). what is the probability of offspring with green pods? 0% 25% 50% 75% question 10(multiple choice worth 3 points) (06.02 mc) a pea plant has white flowers. it has a genotype pp. which of the following about the gene of flower color in the pea plant is true? the allele for white flowers is dominant in the pea plant. the allele for white flowers is recessive in the pea plant. the plant received both dominant alleles from both the parents. the plant received a dominant and a recessive allele from each parent. the characteristics of certain cell divisions are described in the following table. cell division characteristics characteristic description 1 forms diploid cells 2 creates sex cells, or gametes which type(s) of cell division do the two characteristics represent? both characteristics represent meiosis. both characteristics represent mitosis. characteristic 1 represents meiosis and characteristic 2 represents mitosis. characteristic 1 represents mitosis and characteristic 2 represents meiosis.

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.

You are studying a protein that you call protein x. there is an aspartic acid at a key position in protein x which is important in the folding and stabilization of that protein. if this aspartic acid is changed to a different amino acid, which type of amino acid substitutions is most likely to allow the protein to fold normally?
