The diagram shows the karyotype of a muscle cell from a zebra. Select the two correct statements based on information contained in the karyotype.

• Zebra somatic cells are haploid

• The zebra is Male

• Zebra somatic cells are diploid

• The zebra is Female

• Zebra gametes contain 30 chromosomes

The transcription of a DNA molecule into an mRNA molecule, and the translation of that mRNA molecule, can occur simultaneously in prokaryotic cells. This does not occur in eukaryotic cells. Which statement explains why transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in prokaryotic cells but not eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have more mitochondria to produce energy.

• Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus to separate the two processes.

• Eukaryotic cells do not create amino acids until transcription is complete.

• Eukaryotic cells lack ribosomes to translate the mRNA for protein synthesis.

A scientist isolates a number of non-photosynthetic prokaryotes. Which structure would be found in these cells?

• Chloroplast

• Cell walls

• Nucleus

• Golgi Apparatus

Plants have tissue that are active sites for cell division. One tissue is the apical meristem, which consists of embryonic cells that differentiate to many different types of cells, like epidermal and mesophyll cells.

Which characteristic explains how these different types of cells found in the same plant can perform different functions?

• A) They contain different types of DNA.

• B) They have a different number of genes.

• C) They have different sets of genes that are active.

• D) They express the same genes but in different quantities.
