3. Daily
Double DD

4. $100 In the process of meiosis what happens to the number of
chromosomes?
$100
It is cut in half
If you start with 46 you get 23

5. What cells are
made in meiosis?
$200
Egg and sperm

6. $300 What is the purpose of crossing over?
It increases genetic variation

7. $400 What is the difference between haploid & diploid?
Diploid - 2 sets of chromosomes
Haploid - one set of chromosomes (created in meiosis)

8. $500 A human has 23 chromosomes in its haploid egg and
sperm cells. How many chromosomes
are in its diploid body cells? 46

9. A mom & a dad have type A blood.
What blood types could their children have?
A or O

10. Red petals (R) are dominant to white petals (r).
You perform a test cross between a red-petaled
flower (genotype unknown) and a white-petaled flower.
The test cross produces 5 red flowers and 4
white flowers.
What is the genotype of the red-petaled flower? Rr

11. Which parent determines the sex of the child? Why?
Male because he has XY chromosomes
and a female is XX so she only has a X to give

12. What is the difference between heterozygous & homozygous?
heterozygous - two different letters Aa
homozygous - two of the same letters aa or AA

13. What is the genotype and phenotype of the ??? box?
B - Black b - White
T - tall t - short
What is the genotype and phenotype of the ??? box? BT Bt bT bt BT
??? Bt bT bt
Geno - BbTt
Pheno - Tall & Black

14. $100
What is caused by a mutagen?
change in the DNA structure

15. If the original strand of DNA is ATCG
What is the complementary strand?
TAGC

16. What part of DNA
carries the code?
the nitrogen base

17. Is a mutation helpful, harmful or neutral?
It can be any of them

18. Why does DNA replication need to happen?
So when the cell goes through mitosis each
new daughter cell will have the same chromosomes

19. What are the building blocks of proteins?
$100
What are the building blocks of proteins?
Amino Acids

20. If the mRNA is AUCG...What is the DNA?
TAGC

21. What are the amino acids?
If the mRNA is AUGGCA...
What are the amino acids? U C A G
Phenylaline
Leucine
Serine
Tyrosine
Stop
Cysteine
Tryptophan
Proline
Histidine
Glutamine
Arginine
Isoleucine
Methionine
Threonine
Asparagine
Lysine
Valine
Alanine
Aspartic acid
Glutamic acid
Glycine
Met
Ala

22. A gene is a piece of DNA that contains the
instructions to make a single ________.
protein

23. Starting with the mRNA in the nucleus describe protein synthesis.
mRNA copies the DNA
mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome
tRNA lines up with the mRNA and brings in an amino acid
when the amino acids are all lined up you created a protein

24. $100 What is gene sequencing? finding the order of
nitrogen bases within a gene

25. Why would one use DNA fingerprinting to
identify a criminal or in a paternity suit?
DNA from individuals is
unlikely to be the same

26. What is genetic engineering?
Moving the chromosomes of one organism
into another organism

27. What is recombinant DNA?
The DNA formed when you
combine DNA from two different organisms

28. Why is a base substition less harmful than a
base deletion or insertion?
A substitution would change at the most one amino acid.
A deletion/insertion would change every
amino acid after the mutation

29. $100
The Teddies
What is the name of
the RHS dance team?

30. What is the oldest evidence that evolution
scientists use to support evolution?
fossils

31. What is microevolution?
A change within a species over time

32. According to macroevolution, what do the
similarities in these bone structures point to?
Whale
Bat
Human
Cat
common ancestory

33. The whale’s pelvis shows evidence that it
may have walked on land. The whale no longer
uses the pelvis for walking. The whale pelvis is
considered to be a ___.
Vestigial Structure
