If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, what will happen to the cell?

  1. It will swell.
  2. It will shrink.
  3. It does not affect the cell.
  4. It will stay the same.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a solution with a higher particle concentration than in the cell, and consequently lower water content than in the cell. Water moves from the cell to the solution, causing the cell to experience water loss and shrink.



What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

  1. mitosis
  2. cytokinesis
  3. interphase
  4. metaphase

Answer(s): C

Which word describes the allele for green eyes?

B = alleles for brown eyes; g = alleles for green eyes

  1. homozygous
  2. dominant
  3. heterozygous
  4. recessive

What is the possibility that the offspring produced will have brown eyes? B = alleles for brown eyes; g = alleles for green eyes

  1. 100%

Dominant genes are always expressed when both alleles are dominant (BB) or when one is dominant and one is recessive (Bg).
In this case, 3/4 or 75% will have brown eyes.
