Objective 2 Practice



Modified True/False
Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.  If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the sentence or statement true.
 

1. 

The passive transport of material across a membrane by means of transport proteins is called activated diffusion. ________________

 

2. 

Endocytosis is a process by which a cell membrane surrounds and takes in material from the environment. __________________

 

3. 

In passive transport, the movement of particles across a membrane requires energy. __________________

 

Multiple Choice
Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
 

4. 

In certain breeds of dogs such as the Mexican Hairless, having hair is the result of having two dominant alleles for normal hair (NN). The heterozygous genotype (Nn) produces a dog with very little hair and few teeth. Having two recessive (nn) genes results in a stillborn puppy.

Which Punnett square shows the correct results of a cross between two heterozygous Mexican Hairless dogs?
a.
