is being demonstrated?

9. A squash plant that is homozygous dominant for white
fruit (F) is crossed with a plant that is homozygous
recessive for yellow fruit (f). All white fruit offspring
are produced. If these white fruit offspring are crossed
with each other, what is the probability of these
offspring producing white fruit?
A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 75%
D. 100%

white and RR = red, which phenotypic ratio would be
expected in the offspring of one pink and one red
6. Susan, a mother with type B blood has a child with type
flower?
O. She claims that Craig, who has type A blood, is the
A. 1 red : 2 pink : 1 white
father. Further blood tests ordered by the judge reveal
B. 0 red : 4 pink : 0 white
that Craig is AA. The judge rules that
C. 2 red : 2 pink : 0 white
A. Susan is right and Craig must pay child support
D. 4 red : 0 pink : 0 white
B. Craig is right and doesn’t have to pay support
C. Susan cannot be the real mother
D. It is impossible to make a decision
7. Looking at the following pedigree, how would you
classify the individual?
3.04: Assess the impacts of genomics on individuals
and society, including the Human Genome Project
and applications of biotechnology.
11. Scientists have cloned sheep but have not yet cloned a
human. The best explanation for this situation is that
A. There are many ethical problems involved in
cloning humans
B. The technology to clone humans has not been
explored

17. What is the significance of the Human Genome Project?
A. The cause of cancer was discovered
B. The 3 billion bases in human DNA were discovered
C. The structure of DNA and how it is made was
determined
D. All of the proteins made by human DNA were
discovered
18. Which transplant method would prevent the rejection of
an organ after a transplant?
A. Using organs cloned from the cells of the patient
