Genetic variation in bacterial populations can result from all of the following EXCEPT (2 points)
conjugation
meiosis
mutations
transduction
2.
The figure below depicts changes in the DNA content of a recipient cell engaged in conjugation with an Hfr cell. Hfr cell DNA begins entering the cell at Time A. A fragment of the recipient's chromosome is replaced with a homologous fragment from the Hfr cell's DNA.
A line graph shows the amount of DNA present in the recipient cell vs. time. The amount of DNA increases at time A, increasing steadily till it reaches its maximum value just before time C. At time C, the amount of DNA drops significantly, falling back to an amount equal to the starting amount at time A. The amount of DNA content remains constant from time C to D.

How is the recipient cell different at Time D than it was at Time A? (2 points)
It has a different sequence of base pairs.
It has a greater number of genes.
It has a lower mass of DNA.
It contains bacteriophage DNA.
3.
How does sexual reproduction compare to DNA transfers in prokaryotes? (2 points)
Both increase genetic diversity.
Sexual reproduction results in greater evolutionary change.
DNA transfer in prokaryotes allows for fewer errors and mutations.
I only
I and II
I and III
I, II, and III
4.
Two eukaryotic proteins have one domain in common but are otherwise very different. Which of the following processes is the most likely to have contributed to this similarity? (2 points)
exon shuffling
gene duplication
histone modifications
random point mutations
5.
This figure shows a diagram of genes on human chromosome 16 and the locations of blocks of similar genes on four chromosomes of a mouse:
The genes that are found on human chromosome 16 are found separately on four different chromosomes in a mouse.
The movement of these blocks suggests that over the course of evolution, these sequences have separated and returned to their original positions
chromosomal translocations have moved blocks of DNA sequences to other chromosomes
the DNA sequences within these blocks have become increasingly divergent over evolutionary time
higher mammals have more convergence of gene sequences that are related to each other in function

(select all the correct choose each statement that is scientific. - the opinions of randomly selected participants in a survey prove the idea that global temperatures are not increasing on earth. - the universe's average temperature and rate of expansion support the idea that it began as one super-dense and hot mass 13.8 billion years ago. - ocean tides are caused by the uneven gravitational pulls of the moon and sun on different parts of earth. - human life is more valuable than other forms of life on earth because humans are more intelligent than other organisms.
