1: Which statement describes why eye color is an inherited trait? It depends on the color of light entering the eye.
It is passed from the parents to the offspring.
It depends on the amount of vitamin A in the diet.
It changes as a child grows to become an adult.

2: Which statement best explains how hereditary information is passed from parents to offspring?
Genes that determine each trait are located in chromosomes and are passed from parents to their offspring during reproduction.
Genes that determine each trait are located on ribosomes and are passed from parents to their offspring during protein synthesis.
Genes that determine each trait are located in the endoplasmic reticulum and are passed from parents to their offspring during reproduction.
Genes that determine each trait are located in the mitochondria and are passed from parents to their offspring during division of mitochondria.

3: Jamie inherited his height from his parents. What determines the inheritance of Jamie’s height?
chloroplast
cytoplasm
genes
membrane
4: A student reads that sperm and egg cells contain 23 chromosomes each. The height of a human being is controlled by multiple genes and alleles, which are present on the chromosomes found in each egg and sperm cell. When an egg and sperm cell fuse, they form a new cell containing 46 chromosomes with all of the genes and alleles necessary to determine height. This new cell further divides and develops into a human being.What is the relationship between genes and chromosomes for the trait of height in a human being?
Height in a human being is determined by the sets of genes found on chromosomes obtained from each parent.
Height in a human being is determined by the sets of genes found on chromosomes obtained from one parent.
Height in a human being is determined by the sets of chromosomes found on genes obtained from each parent.
Height in a human being is determined by the sets of chromosomes found on genes obtained from one parent

5: How is the process of mitosis essential to the survival of an organism?It creates new daughter cells to replace parent cells.It prevents accumulation of waste in cellsIt ensures proper storage of nutrients in cells.It provides the required amount of energy to cells
