  1. What structure in the cell carries the genetic information and is passed from parent to offspring? Ribosome Chromosome Genotype phenotype

  2. Humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. The autosomes make up 22 pairs. What do we call the remaining pair of chromosomes? Letter chromosomes Homologous chromosomes Sex chromosomes Body chromosomes

  3. What do we call two forms of the same gene? Phenotypes Karyotypes Dominant traits Alleles

  4. What is the name given to a pair of chromosomes that have matching locations for alternate forms of the same gene? Sex chromosomes Genotypes Homologous chromosomes alleles

  5. The sperm cells of a particular animal species each contain 24 chromosomes. After this animal’s sperm cell fertilizes an egg, the number of chromosomes in the new cell will be? 6 12 24 48

  6. A section of a chromosome that controls one trait in an organism is called a(n)? Gene Sperm cell Asexual reproduction offspring
