About CPS 304 at University of Benin

CPS 304 is a 300 Level course at University of Benin. Students preparing for CPS 304 exams on Testwiz get 515+ practice questions across 114 topics, including theory questions and topic summaries.

Instead of cramming the night before, students who practice by topic — Dominant and Recessive Alleles, Carrier Individuals and Deleterious Recessive Alleles, Wild Type and Mutant Symbolism, and more — build real familiarity with how University of Benin tests CPS 304, catch weak spots early with Testwiz's analytics, and walk into the exam with actual reps under their belt.

Sample questions

1. Which of the following statements about a recessive allele is TRUE?

a.It is always deleterious and causes death when present in the heterozygous condition

b.It is expressed in the phenotype only when present in the homozygous condition

c.It is expressed in the phenotype when present in either the homozygous or heterozygous condition

d.It is always the most common allele in a population and is therefore called the wild type

2. A heterozygous individual carrying a deleterious recessive allele that is hidden from phenotypic expression by a dominant normal allele is referred to as a:

a.Carrier

b.Mutant

c.Homozygote

d.Wild type

3. In the wild type and mutant symbolism system, if a recessive mutant gene for white eye in Drosophila is designated by the symbol 'w', the wild type allele for red eye is correctly represented as:

a.W+

b.w+

c.w

d.W

4. In a chi-square test for a dihybrid cross with a 9:3:3:1 expected ratio, the degrees of freedom (df) for the test is:

a.2

b.1

c.3

d.4

5. A chi-square test is used to determine whether:

a.The phenotype of an individual is determined by its genotype or its environment

b.Two genes are linked or assorting independently based on recombination frequency

c.The observed data from a genetic cross fits the expected Mendelian ratio

d.The variance of a quantitative trait is due to genetic or environmental factors
