Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

expressed

recessive

all of these

dominant


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.

57% Answer Correctly

veins

arteries

capillaries

red blood cells

Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.


4

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

atomic number

number of electron shells

atomic weight

atomic mass


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

dominant alleles

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

recessive alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
