1These two sisters are identical twins. The reason why they look alike is because they have
- Athe same alleles and a similar diet
- Bthe same alleles and a different diet
- Cdifferent alleles and a similar diet
- Ddifferent alleles and a different diet
2These two sisters are identical twins. The sisters found out that all their features were controlled by
- Adominant alleles only
- Brecessive alleles only
- Cdominant and recessive alleles
- Dneither dominant nor recessive alleles
3These two sisters are identical twins. The sisters have a brother with cystic fibrosis.
This meant he often had- Askin infections
- Blung infections
- Ceye infections
- Dthroat infections
4These two sisters are identical twins. The sisters have a brother with cystic fibrosis. Their brother decided that he would not have any children of his own because the probability of him passing on the allele for cystic fibrosis was
- A100%
- B75%
- C50%
- D25%

- BMale with cystic fibrosis
- CFemale without cystic fibrosis
- DFemale with cystic fibrosis
22Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease where certain cells produce abnormal mucus.

- C1/4
- D1/5
23In tomato seedlings, the first leaves can be either green (filled in) or yellow (not filled in).
The colour of the leaves is controlled by one gene with two alleles. One allele is dominant and one allele is recessive. Two tomato plants were crossed. The seeds from this cross were grown. The results were obtained in the picture.
Calculate the ratio of the two phenotypes.
- A1/2
- B1/3
- C1/4
- D1/5
24Plant breeders wanted to produce a better variety of tomato by selective breeding. Two plants, of the varieties Tangella and Piranto, were crossed. Information about each variety of tomato is shown in the table.
