In mice, there is a set of multiple alleles of a gene for coat color. Four of those alleles are as follows:
C = full color (wild type)
cch = chinchilla
cd = dilution
c = albino
Given that the gene locus is not sex-linked and that each allele is dominant to those lower in the list, give the phenotypic ratios expected from the following cross.
chinchilla (heterozygous for albino) × albino
A) 1 chinchilla :1 albino
B) 1 chinchilla : 2 albino
C) 1 dilution : 1 chinchilla : 1 albino
D) 1 full color : 1 chinchilla : 1 albino
E) 2 chinchilla : 1 albino

Your friend tells you that as long as you can track the exact day that a woman ovulates, and as long as a woman does not have sexual intercourse on this day, then she will not get pregnant even if no form of contraception is used. Is your friend correct?
Why or why not? A) Yes. Sperm can only fertilize an egg on the day that ovulation occurs, so as long as sexual intercourse does not occur on this day, the woman will not become pregnant. B) Yes. High levels of FSH and LH are needed for fertilization to occur, and the levels of FSH and LH do not rise until the exact day that ovulation occurs. C) No. Even after ovulation occurs, a woman's egg remains in the uterus for at least a week and is able to be fertilized by sperm during this time period. D) No. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract, so having sexual intercourse a few days before ovulation can result in pregnancy.

What will be an ideal response?
For each statement below, indicate whether it is true or false, and explain why
A. To meet a challenge or develop a new function, evolution essentially builds from first principles, designing from scratch, to find the best possible solution. B. Nearly every instance of DNA duplication leads to a new functional gene. C. A pseudogene is very similar to a functional gene but cannot be expressed because of mutations. D. Most genes in vertebrates are unique, and only a few genes are members of multigene families. E. Horizontal gene transfer is very rare and thus has had little influence on the genomes of bacteria.
