A. Formation of two new daughter cells
B. Formation of two identical sets of DNA
C. Disappearance of the original parent cell
D. Activation and attachment of spindle fibers
16. Which statement regarding chromosome structure or function is true?
A. The chromatids of any single chromosome are known as
B. The genes located on the telomeres of chromosomes are identical to the genes inthe
centromeres.
C. Immediately before the mitosis phase of cell division, the chromosomes of allsomatic cells
are haploid.
D. A specific gene allele on one chromosome has a complementary allele on the otherchromosome
of a pair.
17. Why does a person with normal chromosomes only have two alleles for any single gene trait?
A. A minimum of two alleles is required for the expression of monogenic traits.
B. When a dominant allele is paired with a recessive allele, only the dominant allele isexpressed, and
the recessive allele is silent.
C. One allele for the monogenic trait is on the paternally derived chromosome, andthe other
allele is on the maternally derived chromosome.
D. Expression of more than two alleles of any single-gene trait results in enhancedexpression of
recessive alleles and suppressed expression of dominant alleles.
18. Under what normal condition are genotype and phenotype always the same?
A. Euploidy of alleles
B. Aneuploidy of alleles
C. Homozygosity of alleles
D. Heterozygosity of alleles

bonds instead of hydrogen bonds?
A. None of the cells in the affected tissue would be able to leave G0 and enter the cellcycle.
B. Replication of DNA would result in identical DNA strands instead of
complementary strands.
C. Mitosis of cells in the tissue would result in the production of three new daughtercells instead
of just two.
D. The new cells that formed within this tissue would not be able to complete the nextround of
mitosis successfully.
20. How does the DNA enzyme topoisomerase contribute to DNA replication?
A. Unwinds the double helix and separates the double-stranded DNA
