Which of the following statements best predicts the consequence if meiosis did not occur during gametogenesis?\nThe gametes would get larger from one generation to the next.\nThe chromosome number would double with each generation.\nThe chromosome number would be halved with each generation.\nThe chromosome number would triple with each generation.\nThe figure below shows several steps in the process of bacteriophage transduction in bacteria. Which of the following explains how genetic variation in a population of bacteria results from this process?\nBacterial proteins transferred from the donor bacterium by the phage to the recipient bacterium recombine with genes on the recipient’s chromosome.\nThe recipient bacterium incorporates the transduced genetic material coding for phage proteins into its chromosome and synthesizes the corresponding proteins.\nThe phage infection of the recipient bacterium and the introduction of DNA carried by the phage cause increased random point mutations of the bacterial chromosome.\nDNA of the recipient bacterial chromosome undergoes recombination with DNA introduced by the phage from the donor bacterium, leading to a change in the recipient’s genotype.\nIn 1944 Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty performed transformation experiments using live, harmless bacteria and extracts from virulent bacteria treated with various enzymes. Which of the following enzymes were used and why?\nProteases and RNases to rule out protein and RNA as the transforming factors\nLipase (an enzyme that facilitates the breakdown of lipids) to rule out lipoproteins as the transforming factor\nKinase (an enzyme that facilitates transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a substrate molecule) to show that transformation is phosphorylation dependent\nATPase to show that transformation is not dependent on ATP\nUse the following information to answer question 4:\nThe following figures display data collected while studying a family, some members of which have sickle-cell disease—a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin beta gene (HBB). There are at least two alleles of the HBB gene: the HbA allele encodes wild-type hemoglobin and the HbS allele encodes the sickle-cell form of hemoglobin. Genetic testing provided insight into the inheritance pattern for sickle-cell disease.\nFigure 1. Pedigree of a family with affected individuals.

Image of a gel following electrophoretic separation of DNA fragments of the HBB gene from three individuals in the pedigree in Figure 1.\nBased on the data shown in Figure 1, which of the following best describes the genotypes of individual family members in the pedigree?\nAll affected individuals possess at least one dominant allele of the hemoglobin beta gene.\nHealthy individuals may possess one mutant allele (HbS) of the hemoglobin beta gene.\nIndividuals IV and V must be heterozygous for the HbS (mutant) allele.\nIndividuals II and VI possess two copies of the HbA (wild-type) allele.\nUse the following information to answer question 5:\nIn a classic experiment from the 1970s investigating gene expression, a solution containing equal amounts of rabbit a-hemoglobin mRNA and b-hemoglobin mRNA, which encode subunits of a protein found in red blood cells, was injected into newly fertilized frog eggs. The injected mRNA was not degraded during the course of the experiment.
