A gene that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is called a/an:

A.) trait. In biology, trait refers to features of organisms.

B.) mutation. In biology, mutations are changes to the base pair sequence of genetic material (either DNA or RNA). Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, chemical mutagens, or viruses, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as meiosis or hypermutation.

C.) base pair. In molecular biology, two nucleotides on opposite complementary DNA or RNA strands that are connected via hydrogen bonds are called a base pair (often abbreviated bp).

D.) recessive allele. In genetics, the term "recessive gene" refers to an allele that causes a phenotype (visible or detectable characteristic) that is only seen in a homozygous genotype (an organism that has two copies of the same allele) and never in a heterozygous genotype.

6.)
What is Meiosis? In biology, meiosis is the process that allows one diploid cell to divide in a special way to generate haploid cells in eukaryotes. The word "meiosis" comes from the Greek meioun, meaning "to make smaller," since it results in a reduction in chromosome number.
Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in many eukaryotes, including single-celled organisms. A few eukaryotes, notably the Bdelloid rotifers, have lost the ability to carry out meiosis and acquired the ability to reproduce by parthenogenesis. Meiosis does not occur in archaea or prokaryotes, which reproduce by asexual cell division processes.
A.) Cellular division that produces 2 daughter cells that are identical to the original parent cell.

B.) Cellular division that produces 2 diploid daughter cells.

C.) Sexual reproduction

D.) Cellular division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes.


7.) The different forms that genes can be are known as ___________________.

A.) zygotes A zygote (Greek: ζυγωτόν) is a cell that is the result of fertilization.

B.) phenotypes The phenotype of an individual organism is either its total physical appearance and constitution or a specific manifestation of a trait, such as size, eye color, or behavior that varies between individuals. Phenotype is determined to a large extent by genotype, or by the identity of the alleles that an individual carries at one or more positions on the chromosomes.

C.) genotypes The genotype is the specific genetic makeup (the specific genome) of an individual, in the form of DNA. Together with the environmental variation that influences the individual, it codes for the phenotype of that individual.

D.) alleles In genetics, an allele (pronounced al-eel or al-e-ul) is any one of a number of viable DNA codings occupying a given locus (position) on a chromosome.

8.)An offspring who is genetically identical to a parent is called a/an:

A.) clone. in molecular biology, an exact replica of all or part of a macromolecule (e.g. DNA).

B.) zygote. A zygote (Greek: ζυγωτόν) is a cell that is the result of fertilization.

C.) mutation. In biology, mutations are changes to the base pair sequence of genetic material (either DNA or RNA).

D.) gamete A gamete is a specialized germ cell that fuses with another gamete during fertilization (conception) in organisms that reproduce sexually.


9.)A large strand of DNA that typically contains more than a thousand genes is called a/an:

A.) centriole. A centriole in biology is a barrel shaped microtubule structure found in most animal cells and algae though not frequently in plants.

B.) organelle. In cell biology, an organelle is a discrete structure of a cell having specialized functions.

C.) chromosome. A chromosome is a single large macromolecule of DNA, and is the basic 'unit' of DNA in a cell. It is a very long, continuous piece of DNA (a single DNA molecule), which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other intervening nucleotide sequences.

D.) allele. In genetics, an allele (pronounced al-eel or al-e-ul) is any one of a number of viable DNA codings occupying a given locus (position) on a chromosome.

10.) Cloning is a type of sexual reproduction.
A.)True
B.)False
Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing, or previously existing human, by growing cloned tissue from that individual. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction.
Human cloning is amongst the most controversial forms of the practice. There have been numerous demands for all progress in the human cloning field to be halted. One of the most ethically questionable problems with human cloning is farming of organs from clones. For example, many believe it is unethical to use a human clone to save the life of another. In this scenario, the cloned human would be euthanized so that the vital organs could be harvested. This process of renewing the body's organs would potentially increase the life expectancy of a human by 50 years.
The cloning described above is reproductive cloning, not to be confused with research cloning in which only parts (such as an organ) are cloned using genetic material from a patient's tissues.

The time it requires to spell this all out could have been better spent doing the research yourself. The keyword to homework is WORK. If we give you the answers, how does that benefit you?
