10. Using the forked-line, or branch diagram, method, determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the trihybrid crosses.
(a) AaBbCc x AaBBCC (b) AaBBCc x aaBBCc (c) AaBbCc x AaBbCc
11. All of the sperm from one human male are generically identical
A) True B) False
12. The A and B antigens in humans may be found in water-soluble form in secretions, including saliva, of some individuals but not by others. The population thus contains "secretors" and nonsecretors". The following inheritance patterns have established that this trait is inherited:
Secretor x secretor all secretors
Nonsecretors x nonsecretors all nonsecretors
Secretor x nonsecretor all secretors
F1 secretors F2= ¾ secretors:
¼ nonsecretors
How is the trait inherited? Determine the genotypes of all parents and offspring. (address the above pattern)

A) crossing over B) mutation C) linkage D) no disjunction
19. What molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome in the cytoplasm during protein synthesis?

29. How many participants are involved in a TRIO paternity test?
A) 5 B) 4 C) 3 D) NONE of the above
30. When taking a buccal swab collection, were are samples taken from?
A) Blood B) Finger C) mouth D) urine
31. When taking samples from a swab DNA is been gathered when plenty of saliva is present.

A) translation B) transcription C) hydrolysis D) dehydration synthesis
MATCHING
Match the genetic cross of the parents on the left with the genotypes on the right of the offspring most likely to be produced from the cross. You may use an answer choice more than once or not at all.
(Write answers on the lines provided below)
GENETIC CROSS PREDICTED OFFSPRING
37. BB x bb ____ A. 25% BB, 50% Bb, 25% bb
38. Bb x Bb ____ B. 100% bb
39. BB x BB ____ C. 100% Bb
40. bb x bb ____ D. 50% Bb, 50% bb
41. Bb x bb ____ E. 100 BB
F. 75% Bb, 25% bb
Match the genetic cross of the parents on the left with the phenotypes on the right of the offspring most likely to be produce from that cross. You may use an answer choice more than once of not at all.
