8. Henry is studying a family of tree frogs that have poisonous skin, and he finds one frog with a mutation on the gene for poison. Which of these statements about the tree frog with the mutation is true?

There must have been a change in the frog’s genes

There will be no change to the frog’s poison

The frog must be more poisonous than other frogs

The frog must be less poisonous than other frogs

9. Two fruit flies have different parents. One fruit fly has white eyes while the other has red eyes. Why do the fruit flies have different eye colors?

The heterozygous genes and dominant genes code for red eyes.

Fruit Flies have multiple genes for phenotypes and genotypes of eyes.

The white eyes are a dominant gene that all flies have.

The recessive white genes are expressed only in red eyes.

10. In one dragonfly, the proteins for wing genes mutated, but the function was not affected. What happened in that dragonfly?

That type of protein changed, but its function doesn’t change

The changed protein connects differently, but its function changed.

The changed protein connects differently, so its function changes

The changed protein connects the same, but its function changes.
