Multiple choice:

40. DNA replication results in

a. 2 completely new DNA molecules
b. 2 DNA molecules that each contain a strand of the original
c. 2 old DNA molecules
d. 1 new molecule of RNA
41. What are the units that form a DNA molecule?
a. amino acids b. nucleotides c. nitrogen bases
42. In the sequence TAC GGA, what do the letters represent?
a. amino acids b. nitrogenous bases c.sugars d. phosphate
43. A nucleotide contains the following three molecules
a. phosphate, deoxyribose, and base
b. phosphate, deoxyribose, and thymine

85-95 The trait represented by the colored circles and squares below is inherited as a dominant allele. This is NOT a sex-­‐
linked trait. Shaded individuals show the dominant trait. What is the probable genotype of each individual?

96-100 Brown eyes are a dominant eye-color allele and blue eyes are recessive. A brown-eyed woman whose father had
blue eyes and whose mother had brown eyes marries a brown-eyed man whose parents are also brown-eyed. They have a
son who is blue-eyed. Draw a pedigree (info above) showing all four grandparents, the two parents, and the son. Indicate
each individuals possible genotypes.
Use the following symbols:
BB / Bb – brown eyes (Shaded)
bb – blue eyes (Unshaded)

For 50 points: Reflection about the two semesters of General Biology 1 and 2. (Minimum of 10 sentences.)
