5.

The diagram below represents a yeast cell that is in the process of budding, a form of asexual reproduction. Which statement describes the outcome of this process?
- A.
  
  The bud will develop into a zygote.
- B.
  
  The two cells that result will each contain half the species number of chromosomes.
- C.
  
  The two cells that result will have identical DNA.
- D.

6.

Even though each body cell in an individual contains the same DNA, the functions of muscle cells and liver cells are not the same because
- A.
  
  Mutations usually occur in genes when muscle cells divide
- B.
  
  Liver tissue develops before muscle tissue
- C.
  
  Liver cells produce more oxygen than muscle cells
- D.
  
  Liver cells use different genes than muscle cells
7.

The flounder is a species of fish that can live in very cold water. The fish produces an "antifreeze" protein that prevents ice crystals from forming in its blood. The DNA for this protein has been identified. An enzyme is used to cut and remove this section of flounder DNA that is then spliced into the DNA of a strawberry plant. As a result, the plant can now produce a protein that makes it more resistant to the damaging effects of frost. This process is known as
- A.
  
  Sorting of genes
- B.
  
  Genetic engineering
- C.
  
  Recombination of chromosomes
- D.
  
  Mutation by deletion of genetic material
8.

- A.
  
  1
- B.
  
  2
- C.
  
  3
- D.
  
  4
9.

Which nuclear process is represented below?
- A.
  
  Recombination
- B.
  
  Fertilization
- C.
  
  Replication
- D.
  
  Transcription
10.
