Biology/bio12R

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

When an albino mouse is crossed with a
normal (brown) mouse, all the
offspring are normal. This suggests
that the albino gene is:

(1) dominant

(2) lethal

(3) rare

(4) recessive

According to Darwin's theory of
evolution, how is the giraffe's long
neck explained?

(1) stretching to reach leaves
    increased neck length

(2) giraffes were created with long
    necks

(3) each giraffe is a genetic mutation

(4) longer necked giraffes are most
    likely to survive food shortages

Organisms with a pair of identical

genes for a character are said to be:

(1) dominant

(2) heterozygous

(3) homozygous

(4) recessive

Lamarck's theory of evolution is not

widely accepted because it contains:

(1) a single act of creation

(2) no explanation of fossils

(3) the inheritance of acquired
    characters

(4) natural selection

In humans, the blood group O is
recessive to both the A and B genes.
This means that it is always possible
to state the genotype of a person of
blood group/groups:

(1) A and B

(2) O only

(3) none of these

(4) all of these

Which of these does NOT provide

evidence for evolution?

(1) comparison of skeletons

(2) study of fossils

(3) comparison of protein structure

(4) experiments with fruit flies

In humans, the gene for the disease
porphria variegata is dominant. Except
for mutations, the chance of two
normal parents producing an affected
child is:

(1) 1 in 4  (1:3)

(2) 1 in 2  (1:1)

(3) 1 in 16 (1:15)

(4) 0

Henry VIII executed wives because they
failed to produce male children. Who
was, in fact, to blame?

(1) The wives, because the Y
    chromosome is in the ovum.
(2) Nobody, because sex determination
    is purely random.
(3) Henry himself, because the Y
    chromosome is in the sperm.
(4) The wives, because the ovum alone
    determines sex.

Which of these is NOT true of asexual

reproduction?

(1) offspring identical to parent

(2) gametes are never produced

(3) variety is impossible

(4) two organisms are necessary
