Question:QUESTION 1

Where is DNA stored in the eukaryotic cell?

1. nucleus
2. vacuole
3. nucleoid
4. cytoplasm

QUESTION 3

What is the central dogma?

1. Genes specify the sequences of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequences of proteins
2. DNA molecules are composed of one new strand of nucleotides and one old strand of nucleotides
3. Paired unit factors (i.e., genes) segregate equally into gametes such that offspring have an equal likelihood of inheriting any combination of factors
4. Genes do not influence each other with regard to sorting of alleles into gametes; every possible combination of alleles is equally likely to occur

Strawberries, kiwis, and bananas are often used in biology classes for DNA extraction because they are polyploid. Explain why polyploidy would make these fruits ideal for DNA extraction. 

QUESTION 29

What is wrong with the statement below? Explain

Gregor Mendel hybridized true-breeding pea plants over many generations. His experiments with pea plants showed that parental traits blend producing offspring with an appearance that is always an equal blend off each parent's appearance. When Mendel cross-pollinated pea plants with white and violet flowers, he found that 100% of the F1 offspring had violet flowers, which means that the violet flower color is a dominant trait and the white flower color is a recessive trait. When he allowed the plants of the F1 generation to self-pollinate, he found that 100% of the plants of the F2 generation had violet flowers.
