Cloze Test – Test 129

In the following passage, there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Find out the appropriate word/phrase in each case.

A gene is a locus (or region) of DNA which is (21) up of nucleotides and is the molecular unit of heredity. Glossary The transmission of genes to an organism's (22) is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. These genes make up different DNA sequences called genotypes. Genotypes along with environmental and developmental factors determine (23) the phenotypes will be. Most biological (24) are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as gene-environment interactions. Some genetic traits are instantly visible, such as eye color or number of limbs, and some are not, such as blood type, risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that (25) life.
