Which of the following statements describe how genes, proteins, and traits are related? Select all that apply. The nucleotide sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of a protein. Genes contain information about traits. Genes carry out functions in the cell that include providing structure and controlling chemical reactions. Proteins are molecules in the cell that encode genes. Proteins carry out activities in the cell that affect traits.

Which of the following statements concerning genes are true? Select all that apply. A gene is a segment of DNA that determines a certain trait.A gene is a segment of DNA that determines a certain trait. An allele is a variation of a given gene. Genes contain information that codes only for proteins involved in the regulation of gene expression.Genes contain information that codes only for proteins involved in the regulation of gene expression. Genes are not responsible for the expression of traits.Genes are not responsible for the expression of traits. Allele variations are due to small changes in the nucleotide sequence within the gene that sometimes change the structure of a protein and ultimately its function.Allele variations are due to small changes in the nucleotide sequence within the gene that sometimes change the structure of a protein and ultimately its function.
Which of the following subdisciplines of genetics focuses on how genes control cellular activities? Transmissiongenetics Molecular genetics Agriculturalgenetics Population genetics
Which of the following defines a genotype? The particular set of alleles that is carried in an individual’s chromosomes A part of a chromosome that encodes an RNA or protein product in its DNA sequence Forms of a gene with slightly different DNA sequences that may encode slightly different versions of the gene’s product An individual’s observable traits
What is a genotype? Group of answer choices The genetic code for a trait The measure of the frequency of occurrence of a given trait An alternative form of a gene The observable trait
Which of the following statements explains genetic variation? Genetic variation arises ____. When organisms need to change to survive in a new environment. From environmental changes that affect organisms. Through mutation and sexual reproduction. From traits acquired during the lifetime of an organism.
The physical expression of a trait in an organism is known as the
what is the relationship between genes and traits expressed in individuals? a) gene code for DNA, which is primarily responsible for individual traits b) Gene code for proteins, which are primarily responsible for individual traits c) genes code for chromosomes, which are primarily responsible for individual traits d) gene codes for carbohydrates, which are primarily responsible for individual traits
Which of the following does not describe a gene? A. A gene is the observable characteristics or traits B. All are correct C. Agene is a stretch of DNA that produces one or more genetic traits D. A gene is the basic unit of genetic information for a specific trait
Which of the following are true about human variation? (Choose all that apply): Group of answer choices Genotype refers to how a person looks, through interaction of genes and environment. Siblings are more like each other, genetically, than they are to either of their parents. Usually, it is only identical twins (or sometimes triplets or other multiple births) who have identical DNA, and even so, there is still some phenotypic variation between them. You could have genes for being tall, but if your mother (or even grandmother) had poor nutrition during fetal gestation, you could be shorter than your genes allow. You can produce taller offspring by stretching and remembering to stand up as tall as you can.
Which of the following is the definition of the term named Homozygous? a.Refers to genes that have identical alleles b.Genetic constitution of an organism c.Alternative form of a gene d.Trait expressed in the F1 generation e.Fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity f.Physical expression of traits of an organism
Explain why it does not make sense to try to separatethe effects of genes (“nature”) and the environment(“nurture”) in a single individual, while it does make senseto separate genetic and environmental effects on differencesamong individuals.
Use the following words to complete this statement: phenotype, genotype, heterozygous, homozygous, traits, alleles, genes Chromosomes contain _______, which help to determine an organisms _____. Genes come in alternate forms called _____, and both parents may not have the same type of allele. The actual gene combination that an organisms receives from its parents is called its_____, while the trait that gets expressed as a result is referred to as its _____. If an offspring receives the same type of allele for a given gene from each parent, it is said to be _____for that trait. If the alleles differ, it is _____.
