複選題13. Which of the following statements about eukaryotic cell is true? (A) If a cell contains 20 chromosomes in G1 phase, it will contain 40 chromosomes at the end of S phase. (B)During prometaphase, the sister chromatids organize into a single row in the center of the cell. (C) One major difference between metaphase I and metaphase II is the presence or absence of bivalents. (D) Sister chromatids are produced during mitosis. (E)If environmental conditions are favorable during the G1 phase, G1 cyclins are degraded causing the cell to prepare to replicate its DNA.

14. In goats, the gene for coat color is on an autosome and light brown color is dominant to black. A light brown male is mated to a black female, producing a black kid (baby goat). If they produce another kid, could it be light brown? If so, what are the chances of it being light brown? (A) No, since the black allele is present all offspring will be black. (B)Yes, 100% since the first kid was black the next one has to be light brown. (C) Yes, 75% since light brown is dominant. (D) Yes, 50% as the male must be heterozygous for color.

15. Which of the following is not accurate regarding the Bicoid protein? (A) Bicoid protein is a molecule that determines fly tail.

(D) Bicoid protein activates genes when it reaches a concentration threshold.

16. Alternative RNA splicing _____. (A) can allow the production of proteins of different sizes and functions from a single gene (B)can allow the production of similar proteins from different RNAs (C) is a mechanism for increasing the rate of transcription (D) is due to the presence or absence of particular ribosomal proteins

複選題18. Which of the following statements is true?
