phenotype is the physical appearance of the organism.

7. Why do you think it is important to study punett square?
A. to show the phenotypic offspring
B. to show the result of the genotypic offspring
C. to give a partial ratio of phenotypic offspring
D. to show percentage result of both phenotypic and genotypic ratio

8. How would you interpret the result of the offspring using a punett square?
A. by showing off the dominant and recessive traits
B. by predicting the result of genotypic and phenotypic ratio
C. by showing off if the parents are homozygous or heterozygous
D. by showing off the percentage results of genotypic and phenotypic
ratio

9. Assuming both your parents are homozygous (both have double eyelids), why all
F1 generation have double eyelids?
A. Because double eyelids are not considered dominant trait.
B. Because double eyelids are considered to be dominant trait.
C. Because double eyelids are not considered to be recessive trait.
D. Because double eyelids are not both recessive and dominat trait.

10. Malia has cystic fibrosis. How can you verify a proper explanation for her
disorder?
A. Malia must have inherited faulty allele from both parents, both have
cystic fibrosis.
B. Malia must have inherited faulty alleles from both parents, both of
whom are carriers.
C. Malia inherited one faulty allele from her father, who is a carrier and
one normal allele from her mother.
D. Malia probaly inherited one faulty allele from the mother who has
cystic fibrosis and a normal allele from the father.

11. If you will have to cross a homozygous recessive short-stemmed roses and a
heterozygous dominant long-stemmed roses, how will you illlustrate the punnett
square using the given genotypes?

A. C.

B. D.

12. From the illustration that you made in item no. 11, how will you interpret the
phenotypic expressions of the result in the punnett square?
A. 100% of the offsprings are long-stemmed roses
B. 100% of the offsprings are short-stemmed roses
C. 25% of the offsprings are long-stemmed roses and the other 75% are
short-stemmed roses.
D. 50% of the offsprings are long-stemmed roses and the other 50% are
short-stemmed roses.

13. Which of the following BEST describes Biodiversity?

A. Refers to all habitats found on Earth.
B. Refers to all variety of life found on Earth.
C. Refers to all variety of all species found on Earth.
D. Refers to all variety of genes within species found on Earth.

14. Among the four,which is the highest level of taxonomic classification?

A. Family
B. Genus
C. Order
D. Species
15. What would happen if there is sudden decrease of species biodiversity?
A. Declining species diversity lowers ecosystem’s productivity and quality
services.
B. Diminishing species diversity increases species productivity and its
sustainability.
C. Biological diversity resource will boost in supply and habitats and its
coommunities will be unthreatened.
D. Decreasing species diversity will serve no pressure or even direct
threats to its habitat, community and food supply.

16. Which scenario can cause decrease in species diversity?

A. School Tree planting project
B. Decreasing human population
C. Conservation of all forest areas
D. Conversion of agricultural land to industrial land

17. Which of the following could be the best reason why dogs and wolves have the
same species?
A. Both evolved to be cuddlier and soft.
B. Both are very much attuned to humans.
C. Both have the same number of chromosomes.
D. Both are adaptable to different climates within an area.

18. Why do you think there is a need for the conservation of species?
A. To protect the wildlife and promote biodiversity.
B. To protect the environment and population growth.
C. To ensure future generations availability of energy.
D. To ensure the continuous performance of all species in the
environment.

19. Can a human male be a carrier of a red-green color blindness? Why?
A. Yes, because males can be a carrier.
B. No, because males can only express color blindness.
C. No, because females can only express color blindness.
D. Yes, because both males and females can be a carrier of color
blindness.

each sublevel, the organisms are more similar.
B. By using the hierarchal model to organize living organisms; at each
sublevel, the number of organisms increases.
C. By using the hierarchal model in organizing living, where at sublevel
the organisms share sizes from smaller to larger.

25. Some organisms that appear very closely related may not actually be closely
related. How can you justify this claim?
A. There are cases when extremely distant taxa can recombine into a
single group.
B. There are cases where organisms evolved through convergence and
appear closely related although they are not.
C. There are cases where organisms are closely related but diverged from
each other, so they no longer look closely related.
D. There are cases where organisms can interbreed, making them look
like they belong to same species, when in fact they are not closely
related at all.
