A) A new species of plant is found in the rainforest. How can genotyping help scientists to

determine what the plant is? (1 point)
Can determine where the species originated from and which group migrated it to the rainforest
Can determine which diseases it is resistant to for further study
Can compare similarities found in reference sequences to determine any potential relations
Can analyze the proteins that are essential for survival to help determine the plants function

Can compare similarities found in reference sequences to determine any potential relations

A) How are somatic cells different from gametes? (1 point)

Somatic cells do not go through cell division.
Somatic cell mutations are not passed to the next generation.
Somatic cells contain half the number of chromosomes.
Somatic cells are sex cells.

Somatic cells contain half the number of chromosomes.

A) How are mitosis and meiosis similar? (1 point)

They are both forms of cell division.
They are both caused by mutations.
They produce the same number of daughter cells.
They produce daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes

They are both forms of cell division.

A) How are mutations and meiosis similar? (1 point)

They both impact the phenotypes of somatic cells.
They both can only originate through the process of reproduction.
They both can pass on genetic variations that can be inherited.
They both always sort genetic information in the gametes.

They both can pass on genetic variations that can be inherited.
