If you had a black male guinea pig and brown female guinea pig, but you didn't know which was the dominant characteristic, how would you find out the dominant color, assuming the dominant characteristic is homozygous,?
a) Mate them, and then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is—that will be the dominant color.
b) Mate them and see what color the offspring are—that will be the dominant color.
c) Mate them together, and then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is—the other color will be the dominant color.
d) Mate them and see what color the offspring are—the other will be the dominant color.
e) The dominant color could not be determined by mating the two, and then mating their offspring; further generations would have to be produced to determine the dominant color.
Ans: b) Mate them and see what color the offspring are—that will be the dominant color.

To find the gene that encodes for the blue-light receptor, researchers inserted the gene for the PHOT1 protein into insect cells growing in culture
When they exposed the transgenic cells to blue light, they found that the PHOT1 protein became phosphorylated. No other plant proteins were present in the insect cells. Which of the following is a reasonable conclusion from this result? The PHOT1 protein _____. A) enabled the insect cells to photosynthesize B) phosphorylated itself in the presence of blue light C) is not responsive to blue light D) is photoreversible E) is not functional in insect cells
The visual pigment in rods ____
a. works best in bright light b. is more diverse than that found in cones c. is found in the fovea d. is called rhodopsin e. absorbs red light
What type of molecule carries the hereditary information of an organism?
a. DNA b. RNA c. protein d. nucleus e. hormone
Yeast cells take up glucose (a sugar) to use as their primary source of energy. Typically, glucose concentrations outside yeast cells are far lower than glucose concentrations inside the cells. Therefore, for yeast to take up glucose, the cells must use:
A) facilitated diffusion to move glucose down its concentration gradient. B) osmosis to directly absorb glucose. C) facilitated diffusion to move glucose up its concentration gradient. D) active transport to move glucose up its concentration gradient. E) active transport to move glucose down its concentration gradient.
