BIOLOGY-Genetics SASE Reviewer

The document provides a biology-genetics SASE review with 20 multiple choice questions covering topics like: 1) The relationship between chromosomes, genes, and DNA is that a chromosome contains hundreds of genes which are composed of DNA. 2) The probability that a couple's first-born child is male is 50%. 3) Humans have two sex chromosomes in their gametes. 4) Any gene located on a sex chromosome is called a sex linked gene. The questions cover Mendelian genetics concepts like dominance, segregation, independent assortment, and sex-linkage.
