The enzyme concentration is constant and as the substrate concentration decreases, the reaction rate levels off.DNA polymerase from T. aquaticus (Taq) is used in PCR (polymerase chain reaction). PCR is a technique where millions of copies of DNA can be made from one original copy. In this lipmethod, the target DNA molecule is subjected to temperatures over 95 °C to make the double-stranded DNA separate. The temperature is then lowered slightly to allow primers to anneal before the Taq polymerase catalyzes the reactions to incorporate new nucleotides into the complementary strands. The cycle is then repeated over and over until there are millions of copies of the target DNA.Predict why this bacterial polymerase is used instead of a human polymerase. bacterial polymerase probably works at a faster rate than human polymerase.What would happen if you used a human polymerase in a series of PCR reactions?The reactions would probably take place at a slower rate.4572004459605phenylalaninephen00phenylalaninephen4572003888105cysteine00cysteine3429002516505aspargine00aspargine0571505.005.Biochemistry – Short Free Response (4 points)Water is importan t for all living organisms. The functions of water are directly related to its physical properties. Describe how the properties of water contribute to TWO of the following:Transpirationthermoregulation in endothermsplasma membrane structureTranspiration is the cohesion of water molecules that pulls them out of the stomata, resulting in pulling water up from the roots through the rest of the plant.Thermoregulation relies on the high specific heat of water that allows organisms to maintain a stable temperature.Plasma membrane relies on the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions that make the lipid bilayer form. These are based on water’s polarity.CONCEPT 2 - CELLSProkaryotic (Bacteria)Eukaryotic (all other living things) no membrane-bound organellesm.b.o, ex.

The hydrophobic ones will not.Biological systems rely heavily on the properties of water movement. Excretion, digestion, and blood pressure are just a few examples of situations where water balance is important. Suppose you have a semi-permeable membrane that ONLY water can pass. On one side of the membrane you have 0.1 M CaCl2. On the other side of the membrane, you have 0.1 M Glucose. CaCl2 ionizes in water to produce 3 ions. Glucose does not ionize in water.0.1 M CaCl20.1 M GlucoseCalculate the water potential for each side of the membrane.calcium chloride: -7.429 bars glucose=-2.476 barsDescribe which way water will move and explain your answer. Water will move from the glucose to the calcium chloride because water moves from high to low water potential.3429001960245hydrophobic will be in the center of the channel because they will not have an affinity for water.00hydrophobic will be in the center of the channel because they will not have an affinity for water.-314325-685803.0200003.455295028956000hydrophilic R groups will be on the outside of the channel because they have an affinity for water.The following diagram shows an action potential of a neuron.

How would the function of the neuron be altered by the presence of this toxin?it would not be able to fire because the action potential would be blocked.Tay-Sachs disease is a human genetic abnormality that results in cells accumulating and becoming clogged with very large and complex lipids. Which cellular organelle must be involved in this condition?smooth ER.Cells – Long Free Response (10 points)Graphthe 10 percent solution would have twice as much NaCl outside the bag and the 5% at each time interval.The 1 percent solution would have 1/5 as much NaCl outside the bag than the 5% at each interval.The 0 percent solution would have 0 mg/L NaCl outside at all intervals.Seawater would decrease crop production because it would cause plant cells to lose water because the water potential inside the cells would be greater than that outside the cells so the water would move from high to low water potential.CONCEPT 3 – ENERGY AND METABOLISMEnergyOrganisms use free energy for organization, growth and reproduction. Loss of order or free energy flow results in death. More free energy (ex. Food) than needed will be stored for growth (roots, glycogen, fat, etc.).Matter and energy are not created but change form (1st law of thermo; ex. Sun energy to bond energy in glucose) and entropy is increasing in disorganization of energy (i.e. heat released by cell respiration). More organized or built up compounds have more free energy and less entropy (i.e. glucose) and less organized have less free energy and more entropy (i.e. carbon dioxide).Reactions can be coupled to maintain a system, ex. Photosynthesis and cell respirationCellular respiration C6H12O6 + 6O26CO2 + 6H2OMakes ATP for cell use; uses glucose and oxygen makes waste products of carbon dioxide and water; occurs in mitochondria; NADH is electron carrier usedGlycolysisoccurs in cytoplasm; anaerobic rearranges the bonds in glucose molecules, releasing free energy to form ATP from ADP through substrate-level phosphorylation resulting in the production of pyruvate.Kreb’s cycleoccurs in mitochondrial matrixalso called the citric acid cycleoccurs twice per molecule of glucosePyruvate is oxidized further and carbon dioxide is released ; ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate via substrate level phosphorylation and electrons are captured by coenzymes (NAD+ and FAD).NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to the electron transport chain.Electron Transport Chain and ChemiosmosisThe electron transport chain captures electrons, pumping H+ ions into the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.Electrons are accepted by O2 molecule forming H2OConcentration of H+ builds up within inter-membrane space lowering the pH and ions rush through ATP synthase into the mitochondria matrix. Rush of ions “spins” ATP synthase protein, causing ADP and Pi to join forming ATP by oxidative phosphorylationPhotosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2Photosynthetic organisms capture free energy present in sunlight and use water and carbon dioxide to make carbon products and free oxygen.Light-dependent reactions- photophosphorylationPhotosystems I and II (chlorophyll and proteins) are embedded in the internal membranes of chloroplasts (thylakoids of the grana). They pass electrons through an electron transport chain (ETC). When electrons are passed they allow hydrogen ions (protons) across the thykaloid membrane. The formation of the proton gradient powers the process of ATP synthesis to add a phosphate ADP to ATP (chemiosmosis).Electrons are passed to NADP+ to make NADPH (electron carrier)H2O is used and O2 released as by-productRed and blue light works best (green is reflected typically)Energy converted from sun into chemical energy of ATP and NADPH to be used in building of sugar (Calvin Cycle)Light-independent reactions- Calvin Cyclecarbon fixation occurs (carbons of CO2 used to make sugar)occurs in stroma of chloroplastsATP and NADPH generated by light-dependent reactions are used to assemble glucoseAnaerobic FermentationNo oxygen; cell only goes through glycolysis followed by fermentationFermentation recycles NAD needed to restart glycolysisalcohol fermentation ex. yeast cells- glucose ethyl alcohol + CO2+ NAD+lactic acid fermentation ex. muscle cells- glucose lactic acid + NAD+Fermentation does not make ATP but glycolysis does- 2ATP; very inefficient; sufficient for microorganismsVocabularyabsorption spectrumacetyl coAanabolismanaerobic metabolismATPATP synthaseautotrophCalvin cyclecellular respirationchemiosmosischlorophyllchloroplastcitric acid/Krebs cycleelectron transport chainFAD/FADH2feedback inhibitionfermentationglycolysislight dependent reactionslight independent reactionsmetabolic pathwaymitochondrionNAD/NADHNADP/NADHoxidative phosphorylationphotolysisphotosynthesisphotosystem Iphotosystem IIpyruvatestromasubstrate-level phosphorylationthylakoid membraneThinking QuestionsThe figure below outlines the process of cellular respiration. Glucose and oxygen are both reactants in this process.Describe the journey of a single carbon atom from glucose in cellular respirationGlucose is made of 6 carbon atoms. In glycolysis, one of the carbon atoms is in the 3 carbon pyruvate. Then it is turned into the 2 carbon acetyl CoA during glycolysis. It combines with oxaloacetate to make a 4 carbon molecule and then is released as CO2 in the Krebs Cycle.Describe the journey of a single hydrogen atom from glucose in cellular respirationGlucose is made of 12 hydrogens. They stay bonded to the carbon molecules until they are combined with either NAD+ or FADH in the Krebs cycle. Then they form a proton gradient in oxidative phosphorylation and finally combine with oxygen to form water when they pass through the ATPase.Describe the function of the oxygen molecules in cellular respirationOxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, forming water when ATP is made.The figure below outlines the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water are both reactants in this process.Describe the journey of a single hydrogen atom from water in photosynthesis.There are 2 H atoms for each water. Water is split when the high energy from light breaks the bonds. The hydrogen ions are captured by NADP and are carried to the stroma .Oxygen is released when water is split by the light energy. it is then released as oxygen.Describe the journey of a single oxygen atom from water in photosynthesis.Describe the journey of a carbon dioxide molecule in photosynthesis.Carbon dioxide enters through the stomata and diffuses into chloroplasts’ stroma. It combines through a series of reactions in the Calvin Cycle to make G3P, which then makes a six carbon sugar, such as glucose or sucrose.It is estimated that more than 2 × 1026 molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed in the human body daily. If each molecule was used only once you would need approximately 160 kg (350 lbs) of ATP daily. The repeated use of ATP molecules through the ATP cycle saves the body a huge amount of resources and energy.ATP is synthesized in two ways:Substrate-level phosphorylation—Energy released during a reaction, such as the breakdown of sugar molecules, is used directly to synthesize ATP. A small amount of energy is generated through this process.Electron transfer (oxidative phosphorylation)—Energy from the movement of electrons from one molecule to another, via electron carriers, is used to synthesize ATP. Most cellular ATP is synthesized by electron transfer in the mitochondria.Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an “uncoupler,” which means it interferes with the flow of electrons during electron transfer. Fifty years ago, DNP was given as a drug to help patients lose weight.Why would taking DNP make someone lose weight?Because of the electron transfer was unable to occur, then more energy would be lost because it would remain in acetyl CoA.Why would taking DNP be dangerous?You are not using energy from food.An experiment to measure the rate of respiration in crickets and mice at 10oC and 25o C was performed using a respirometer, an apparatus that measures changes in gas volume. Respiration was measured in mL of O2 consumed per gram of organism over several five-minute trials and the following data were obtained.Which organism at which temperature had the fastest metabolic rate (produced the most ATP) during its trials? Explain how you know.Mouse at 10 degrees C, the average respiration rate was the highest.According to the data, the mice at 10oC demonstrated greater oxygen consumption per gram of tissue than did the mice at 25oC. Propose an explanation for why this is.At a cold temperature, the warm blooded creature has to increase so it can maintain the temperature of its body.Under laboratory conditions, muscle cells were broken up and separated into fractions of mitochondria and cytoplasm in an attempt to learn more about cellular respiration. Each fraction was incubated with glucose or pyruvate. Tests were carried out during incubation for the presence of either carbon dioxide or lactic acid. The results are shown below:What does the presence of lactic acid in a sample indicate about what process is occurring in each cell fraction?fermentation/anaerobic respiration.Explain why lactic acid was produced by the cytoplasm fraction incubated with glucose, but not the mitochondrial fraction.the mitochondria have the the ability to undergo aerobic respiration. Why was no carbon dioxide produced by either fraction incubated with glucose?Because glucose must be broken down to release carbon dioxide in the Krebs cycle.Why did the cytoplasm fraction produce lactic acid in the presence of both glucose and pyruvate?because the respiration was anaerobic-no electron transport chain.Why did the mitochondria produce carbon dioxide in the presence of pyruvate but not in the presence of glucose?44862755207000glucose must be broken down into pyruvate to go into the Krebs cycle, which produces carbon dioxide.The figures to the right display the absorption range for several different pigments found in plants (top) and the rate of photosynthesis at varying conditions of wavelength in one plant species (bottom):What color and wavelength of light is reflected by the plant species tested? How do you know?525-625, greenWhat wavelength(s) increase the rate of photosynthesis in the plant species tested? What pigment does this correspond to? How do you know? 400-500; 600-700; carotenoids, chlorophyll, it says so in the graph above. Energy and Metabolism Short Free Response (4 points)In a second experiment, Variety A seedlings at 17oC were treated with a chemical that prevents NADH from being oxidized to NAD+. Predict the most likely effect of the chemical on metabolism and oxygen consumption of the treated seedlings. Explain your prediction. it will interfere with the electron transport and the Krebs cycle because NAD+ has to drop off its hydrogens.CONCEPT 4 – THE CELL CYCLE AND HEREDITYCell cycleReason for division- as cells increase in volume, the surface area decreases and demand for material resources increases which limits cell sizeSmaller cells have a more favorable surface area-to-volume ratio for exchange of materials with the environment (diffusion, etc.). High SA:V ratio is favorable. Ex. 6:1 is better than 6:5Cell cycle switches between interphase and cell division.Interphase has three phases: growth (G1), synthesis of DNA (S) and preparation for mitosis (G2).During mitosis duplicated chromosomes line up in center with spindle fibers attached to help pull them apart. Duplicated chromosomes are pulled apart by spindle fibers.Cytokinesis-division of cytoplasm and reformation of cell membrane. Animal cell- pinches in (cleavage) using microfilaments; plant cell- form cell plate reforms cell wall.The cell cycle is directed by internal controls or checkpoints. Internal (enzymes and promoting factors) and external signals (growth factors) provide stop and- go signs at the checkpoints. Ex. Mitosis-promoting factor (MPF)Cancer results from disruptions in cell cycle control (too much division, defective tumor suppressor genes, overactive genes) which are a result of DNA damage to proto-oncogenes (regulatory genes) which make products like cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases.Cells spend different amounts of time in interphase or division. Nondividing cells may exit the cell cycle; or hold at a particular stage in the cell cycle.Mitosis is used for growth and repair in animals; plants use mitosis to make gametes and for growth or repair.Mitosis usually begins with 1 cell, makes 2 identical cells or clones; maintains chromosome number; 1n1n or 2n2n.Meiosis (occurs after interphase) takes diploid cells and reduces the chromosome number to haploid. 2n1n.During meiosis, homologous chromosomes are paired (one from mom and one from dad) and line up in the center of the cell randomly. The homologues are pulled apart and separated in meiosis I. A second division occurs in which the duplicated chromosomes are pulled apart.Variation occurs in gametes during “crossing over,” and fertilization because of all possible combinations of homologous chromosomes aligning during metaphase I. Mendel’s Laws (remember he laid groundwork for genetics but these rules can all be broken looking at chromosome theory and molecular genetics)Law of Dominance- one allele will be expressed over another (ex. Aa – if big A is purple it will be seen over little a which is white)Law of Segregation- alleles pairs separate from each other during meiosis Law of Independent Assortment- alleles assort independently during meiosis IF they are on separate chromosomes (i.e. AaBb can make gametes AB, Ab, aB or ab)Probability, Patterns and Exceptions to Mendel’s Rulesproduct rule- multiply chance of one event happening by the chance of another event happening to get the chance of both events occurring togetherautosomal vs. sex-linked (on the X or Y chromosome)monohybrid cross; one trait; 3:1 (Aa x Aa); 1:1 (Aa x aa) or 4:1 (AA x_), (aa x aa)dihybrid cross; 9:3:3:1 genotype (AaBb x AaBb) or test cross 1:1:1:1(AaBb x aabb)Thomas Hunt Morgan- fruit flies, X- linked traitsmale- heterozygous XY; Y chromosome is very small in mammals and fruit flies with few genesfemale- homozygous XXsingle gene mutations on X chromosome cause disease such as hemophilia or colorblindnesssex limited traits are dependent on sex of individual like milk production or male patterned baldnessincomplete dominance- red X white pink; both protein product are expressed and blendedcodominance- red x white red and white; both protein products are equally expressed ex.AB blood typesepistasis- one gene affects expression of anotherlinked genes- genes on same chromosome that are inherited together (can be unlinked by crossing over); recombination frequency calculated by recombinants/total; used for chromosome mapping; genes further apart cross over more oftengene/environment- phenotypes affect by environment, Siamese cat, flower color with soil pH, seasonal color in arctic animals, human height and weightpolygenic- continuous variation, many genes affect one trait- height, colorHuman Genetics karyotype- 22 pair autosomes & 1 pair sex chromosomes + 46 total chromosomesChromosomal Mutations (occur during gamete formation)deletion, inversion, addition of genes as a result of crossing over mistakeschromosomal number abnormalities nondisjunction is failure of chromosomes to separate at anaphase of meiosisVocabularyanaphaseautosomalcancercell cyclecell divisioncentrioleschromosomecodominancecrossing overcrossover frequencycyclin-dependent kinasecytokinesisdiploid (2N)dominantF1/F2 Generationfertilizationgametegenotypehaploid (1N)heterozygoushomozygousincomplete dominanceindependent assortmenthomologous chromosomesindependent assortmentinterphasemeiosismetaphasemitosisnuclear divisionphenotypeprophaserecessiverecombinationsegregationsex chromosomesex-linkedsomatic cellsynapsissynthesistelophaseThinking Practice28003509906000Refer to the figure to the right.What process is being shown in this picture?the cell cycle.What type of organism are these cells from?

Paclitaxel inhibits both assembly and disassembly of microtubules.Which phase in the cell cycle is affected by Paclitaxel? How does this drug inhibit the growth of cancer?metaphase and anaphase because microtubules are spindle fibers and they prevent the cells from dividing.Paclitaxel affects not only cancer cells, but normal cells as well. Would the effects of Paclitaxel be seen first in organs that have quickly dividing cells (like the intestine and hair follicles) or in organs that have slow or nondividing cells (like muscles and the nervous system). Justify your reasoning.quickly dividing cells because it affects them when they are dividing.26930354000500Two students debate about proteins that regulate the cell cycle. One argues that MPF triggers the production of cyclin, while the other argues that cyclin triggers the production of MPF. Based on the figure to the right, which statement is correct and why?cyclin triggers MPFPropose a possible function of MPF, based on when it is produced in the cell cycle.initiation of mitosisYou have performed a dihybrid cross of plants and got the following data: 206 purple tall, 65 white tall, 83 purple short, 30 white short. Perform a chi-square analysis to test the null hypothesis that purple coloring is dominant to white and tall height is dominant to short height.4.32 < 7.82 (critical value)A space probe discovers a planet inhabited by creatures that reproduce with the same hereditary patterns seen in humans. Three of the phenotypic characteristics of these creatures are: height, antennae, and nose morphology. Earth scientists were able to do some controlled breeding experiments with these organisms. 100 males and 100 females were used in the experiments and the results of a number of crosses are shown below.

Explain how the data supports your conclusions (Hint! You might need to do a chi square analysis to support conclusions!)I; tall is dominant to short; II: antennae is dominant to no antennae. The F2 generation roughly matches a 3:1 ratio, which corresponds with autosomal conditions.What conclusions can be drawn from cross III? Explain how the data supports your conclusions (Hint! You might need to do a chi square analysis to support conclusions!)upturned snout is dominant to downturned snout and it is a sex-linked trait because the first generation all had upturned snouts and the F2 generation only the males had downturned snouts.What conclusions can be drawn from cross IV?

Give two reasons why this would not be possible in eukaryotic cells.transcription and translation both occur in prokaryotes’ cytoplasm.

A 20 kb circular plasmid is digested with each enzyme individually and then in combination, and the resulting fragment sizes are determined by means of electrophoresis. The results are as follows:Make a diagram of the circular molecule and indicate the relative positions of the EcoRI and HindIII restriction sites. (Hint: place one EcoRI site at '12 o'clock' and position the remainder relative to this site.)We did this in class.

Compare and contrast the replication of the two new strands, listing and explaining at least one similarity and one difference in the methods of synthesis. You may draw a diagram to help answer the question, but be sure to explain your diagram in your answer.(See the last page)CONCEPT 6 – REGULATIONFeedbackNegative feedback mechanisms maintain dynamic homeostasis for a particular condition (variable) by regulating physiological processes, returning the changing condition back to its target set point. Positive feedback mechanisms amplify responses and processes in biological organisms. The condition initiating the response is moved farther away from the initial set-point. Amplification occurs when the stimulus is further activated which, in turn, initiates an additional response that produces system change. Cell-to-cell communicationCells receive or send inhibitory or stimulatory signals from other cells, organisms or the environment.In single-celled organisms it is response to its environment.In multicellular organisms, signal transduction pathways coordinate the activities within individual cells. Ex. Epinephrine stimulation of glycogen breakdown in mammalsCells communicate by cell-to-cell contact. Ex Immune cells interact by cell-cell contact, antigen- presenting cells (APCs), helper T-cells and killer T cells or plasmodesmata between plant cells that allow material to be transported from cell to cell.Cells communicate over short distances by using local regulators that target cells in the vicinity of the emitting cell. Ex. Neurotransmitters, plant immune responseSignals released by one cell type can travel long distances to target cells of another cell type. Ex. HormonesA receptor protein recognizes signal molecules, causing the receptor protein’s shape to change, which initiates transduction of the signal. Ex. G-protein linked receptors, ligand-gated ion channels, tyrosine kinase receptors.Signal transduction is the process by which a signal is converted to a cellular response. Signaling cascades relay signals from receptors to cell targets, often amplifying the incoming signals, with the result of appropriate responses by the cell.Second messengers inside of cells are often essential to the function of the cascade. Many signal transduction pathways include: Protein modifications or phosphorylation cascades in which a series of protein kinases add a phosphate group to the next protein in the cascade sequence.Gene RegulationProkaryotesInducers (turn genes on) and repressors (turn genes off) are small molecules that interact with regulatory proteins and/or regulatory sequences. Regulatory proteins inhibit gene expression by binding to DNA and blocking transcription (negative control). Regulatory proteins stimulate gene expression by binding to DNA and stimulating transcription (positive control) or binding to repressors to inactivate repressor function. EukaryotesTranscription factors bind to DNA sequences and other regulatory proteinsSome of these transcription factors are activators (increase expression), while others are repressors (decrease expression). The combination of transcription factors binding to the regulatory regions at any one time determines how much, if any, of the gene product will be produced.ImmunityPlants, invertebrates and vertebrates have multiple, nonspecific immune responses, ex: phagocytes engulf and digest pathogens with the help of lysosomesMammals use specific immune responses triggered by natural or artificial agents that disrupt dynamic homeostasis. The mammalian immune system includes two types of specific responses: cell mediated and humoral. In the cell-mediated response, cytotoxic T cells, a type of lymphocytic white blood cell, target‖intracellular pathogens when antigens are displayed on the outside of the cells. In the humoral response, B cells, a type of lymphocytic white blood cell, produce antibodies against specific antigens. Antigens are recognized by antibodies to the antigen. Antibodies are proteins produced by B cells, and each antibody is specific to a particular antigen. A second exposure to an antigen results in a more rapid and enhanced immune response. VirusesReplicationViruses inject DNA or RNA into host cellViruses have highly efficient replicative capabilities that allow for rapid evolutionViruses replicate via the lytic cycle, allowing one virus to produce many progeny simultaneouslyVirus replication allows for mutations to occur through usual host pathways. RNA viruses lack replication error-checking mechanisms, and thus have higher rates of mutation. Related viruses can combine/recombine information if they infect the same host cell. Some viruses are able to integrate into the host DNA and establish a latent (lysogenic) infectionHIV is a well-studied system where the rapid evolution of a virus within the host contributes to the pathogenicity of viral infection. Genetic information in retroviruses is a special case and has an alternate flow of information: from RNA to DNA, made possible by reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that copies the viral RNA genome into DNA. This DNA integrates into the host genome and becomes transcribed and translated for the assembly of new viral progeny.VocabularyAntibodyAntigenB-cellCell-mediated immunitycommunicationcyclic AMP (cAMP)cytotoxic T-cellG-protein linked receptorHelper T-cellHormoneHumoral immunityInducerLytic cycleLysogenic cycleNegative feedbackOperonOperatorPhagocytephagocytosisphosphorylation cascadepositive feedbackprotein kinasereceptorrepressorretrovirusreverse transcriptasesecond messengersignal cascadesignal transductionsignal transduction pathwaytranscription factorviruswhite blood cell296227514287500Thinking PracticeRefer to the diagram at the right to respond to the following questions.Is the hormone hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

The gene encoding b-galactosidase, lacZ, is part of a coordinately regulated operon containing other genes required for lactose utilization. Use the legend below to draw the gene and its interaction with RNA polymerase, the repressor protein, and lactose when lactose is being digested.the lactose binds to the repressor protein, which removes it from the DNA and RNA polymerase can bind the the promoter. Based on the information provided, propose a possible mechanism for a drug to resist HIV infection.make a drug that inhibits the CCR5 receptor.355282515938500Describe the processes occurring at each of the numbered positions (I, II, III, and IV) in the diagram to the right.Refer to the images at the right to answer the following:3381375762000Which immune response in shown: cell mediated or humoral?

Justify your reasoning.positive-it keeps going in the same direction. 474345014732000The figure to the right shows the feedback mechanism for regulating blood glucose.Is this a positive or negative feedback loop? Explain your answer.negative-it changes direction. Individuals that suffer from Type I diabetes do not have functional insulin-producing cells. Describe how their blood will differ from that of a healthy individual after a glucose-rich meal.they don’t have the molecule that returns the glucose level to homeostasis, therefore, their glucose levels will simply increase.In a molecular biology laboratory, a student obtained competent E. coli cells and used a common transformation procedure to induce the uptake of plasmid DNA with a gene for resistance to the antibiotic kanamycin. The results below were obtained.What is the purpose of Plate IV?control-to ensure that the cells are viable.Explain the growth you see and the type of bacteria (transformed vs. non-transformed or both) that would be on Plate 1.both because there is no antibiotic.Explain the growth you see and the type of bacteria (transformed vs. non-transformed or both) that would be on Plate II.transformed only, because the non-transformed cells would be killed by the antibiotic.If the student repeated the experiment, but the heat shock was unsuccessful and the plasmid was unable to be transformed, for which plates would growth be expected? Explain your answer.1 and 3 because only the non-transformed would grow so they could grow in the absence of antibiotic.CONCEPT 7 – EVOLUTIONNatural SelectionMajor mechanism of change over time – Darwin’s theory of evolutionThere is variation among phenotypes – genetic mutations play a role in increasing variationCompetition for resources results in differential survival, with individuals with the most favorable traits surviving to reproduce offspringAn adaptation is a genetic variation that is favored by selection and is manifested as a trait that provides an advantage to an organism in a particular environment. Fitness is the ability to survive and reproduceHardy-Weinberg EquilibriumA mathematical model used to calculate changes in allele frequency, providing evidence for the occurrence of evolution in a population. 5 conditions must be met for a population to be in HW equilibrium – conditions are seldom metLarge populationNo migrationNo mutationsRandom matingNo natural selectionEquationsp = the frequency of dominant alleles in a populationq = the frequency of recessive alleles in a populationp2 = the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals in a populationq2 = the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals in a population2pq=the frequency of heterozygous individuals in a populationp + q = 1p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1SpeciationAn evolutionary process by which 2 or more species arise from 1 species and 2 new species can no longer breed and reproduce successfullyMany mechanisms by which it can occurGeographic isolationSpecies separated by physical barrierReproductive isolationDifferent behaviors limit matingDifferent habitats limit matingDifferent mating seasons limit matingDifferent anatomical structures limit matingCan take place over millions of years or rapidly (after extinction events, for example)Evidence for EvolutionFossils can be dated by a variety of methods that provide evidence for evolution. These include the age of the rocks where a fossil is found, the rate of decay of isotopes including carbon-14, the relationships within phylogenetic trees, and the mathematical calculations that take into account information from chemical properties and/or geographical data.Morphological homologies represent features shared by common ancestry. Vestigial structures are remnants of functional structures, which can be compared to fossils and provide evidence for evolution.Biochemical and genetic similarities, in particular DNA nucleotide and protein sequences, provide evidence for evolution and ancestry. Origin of LifePrimitive Earth provided inorganic precursors from which organic molecules could have been synthesized due to the presence of available free energy and the absence of a significant quantity of oxygen. Chemical experiments have shown that it is possible to form complex organic molecules from inorganic molecules in the absence of life. These complex reaction sets could have occurred in solution (organic soup model) or as reactions on solid reactive surfaces. The RNA World hypothesis proposes that RNA could have been the earliest genetic material. Phylogenetic TreesPhylogenetic trees and cladograms can represent traits that are either derived or lost due to evolution. Phylogenetic trees and cladograms illustrate speciation that has occurred, in that relatedness of any two groups on the tree is shown by how recently two groups had a common ancestor. Phylogenetic trees and cladograms can be constructed from morphological similarities of living or fossil species, and from DNA and protein sequence similarities. Phylogenetic trees and cladograms are dynamic, constantly changing due to current and emerging knowledge.

Specifically, you are studying this population with respect to the gene that determines the coat color in C. ludivincianus. This trait is coded for by a single gene (the NDY6 gene) with two alleles (N, n) and is passed down from one generation to the next. After sampling 170 of these prairie dogs, you find that 36% of the C. ludivincianus population is homozygous recessive for coat color. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium…What is the allele frequency of the N allele?p=0.4What is the frequency of homozygous dominant prairie dogs?0.16What is the frequency of heterozygous prairie dogs?0.48What conditions must be being satisfied?large population, random mating, no migration, no natural selection, no mutationSixty flowering plants are planted in a flowerbed. Forty of the plants are red-flowering homozygous dominant. Twenty of the plants are white-flowering homozygous recessive. The plants naturally pollinate and reseed themselves for several years. In a subsequent year, 178 red-flowered plants, 190 pink-flowered plants, and 52 white-flowered plants are found in the flowerbed. Use a chi-square analysis to determine if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.78.6; rejectFor the past 10 to 25 years, farmers have planted crop seeds that have been genetically modified to withstand treatment with a common weed killer called Roundup?. This allows the farmers to spray their fields to get rid of weeds without harming their crops. Recently, more and more farmers have discovered that their fields have Roundup-resistant pigweed growing along with their crop. Describe what has most likely happened over time to lead to this.evolution-those plants what are resistant to Roundup will survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes.Peppered moths have wings that vary in color, ranging from white to dark gray. During the Industrial Revolution through the mid-20th century, factories and power plants, which burned coal, produced large quantities of soot and smog. Near industrialized areas, black powder covered surfaces, including the moth habitat.Use this information to explain the changes seen in light and dark peppered moths from 1800-1950, as shown in the graph below.the dark moths are favored under high pollution times because they are better camoflagued on dark colored trees than the light colored moths.Propose an explanation for the return of the peppered moth population to more light than dark moths by the year 2000.by 2000, the pollution levels decreased, so the trees were white again and thus the light colored moths were more likely to survive and reproduce.Five new species of bacteria were discovered in Antarctic ice core samples.

Different organisms use various reproductive strategies in response to energy availability. There is a relationship between metabolic rate per unit body mass and the size of multicellular organisms — generally, the smaller the organism, the higher the metabolic rate. Excess acquired free energy versus required free energy expenditure results in energy storage or growth. Insufficient acquired free energy versus required free energy expenditure results in loss of mass and, ultimately, the death of an organism.Energy flow/production = energy flows through; 90% lost at each level & 10% transferred to next leveltrophic levels = primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, detritivores & decomposerecological pyramids (pyramids of energy, biomass, numbers)food chains & food websBiotic and Abiotic factors can both cause disruption and collapse of ecosystemsVocabularyApex predatorBiomagnificationBiomassCarrying capacityCarnivoreCommensalismCompetitionConsumerDensity-dependentDensity-independentDecomposerDetrivoreEnergy pyramidExponential growthFood chainFood webHerbivoreHeterotrophLogistic growthMutualismTrophic levelParasitismPopulationPredationPrimary productivityProducerThinking QuestionsInvasive species are species that are introduced into an environment but are not naturally found in that environment. One example of an invasive species is the American gray squirrel, introduced into Britain at the end of the 18th century. Until 1876 the only native squirrel in Britain was the European red squirrel, which was found in deciduous and coniferous forests. By 1940 the gray squirrel had displaced the red squirrel across most of the British Isles, and by 1984 the red squirrel was only found in isolated coniferous woodland areas. After its initial introduction, the gray squirrel population increased rapidly; however, in recent years population sizes within specific environments have become stable.Explain why the newly-introduced gray squirrel initially showed rapid population growth and why the native red squirrel showed a population decline.gray squirrell outcompetes the red squirrell for food. The gray squirrel had no natural predators.Why has the population size of the gray squirrel become stable in recent years?because it reached its carrying capacity.The first age structure graph below for country X shows the percent of the population in each age group for the year 2000. The remaining three graphs are projections of how the age structure of country X will change. From these age structure diagrams construct a graph of population size vs. time for 2000-2080 and justify your prediction. The graphs below display the growth rate for two species of bacteria when grown separately and together.The population growth of which bacteria is more affected by growing conditions? Explain how you know.P. caudamum because its population decreased, which P. Aurelia stayed the same.Using the information provided in the graphs, make a prediction as to why the bacteria identified in part a is more affected by growing conditions than the other bacteria. P. Aurelia outcompeted P. caudamum. Interdependence in nature is illustrated by the transfer of energy through trophic levels. The diagram below depicts the transfer of energy in a food web of an Arctic lake located in Alaska. Identify an organism from each of the 5 trophic levels (producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, teritiary consumer and decomposer) and explain how energy is obtained at each level.producer=phytoplankton; primary consumer=zooplankton; secondary consumer=grayling; tertiary consumer=lake trout; decomposer-snail.Describe the efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels of this food web.Only 10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next; most energy is lost.Explain how the amount of energy available at each trophic level affects the size of each population.The higher trophic levels have less energy and thus, smaller population sizes.If the cells in the dead terrestrial plant material that washed into the lake contained a commercially produced toxin, what would be the likely effects of this toxin on this food web? Explain.the toxin would spread throughout the food web and would become the most concentrated at the tertiary consumer level.If all of the Sculpin in this ecosystem were removed, predict how it would impact the following and explain each prediction:The population of lake troutdecreaseThe population of snailsincreaseThe population of algaeincreaseThe amount of oxygen produced in the ecosystemincreaseThe amount of light energy absorbed by the ecosystemincreaseEcology Long Free Response (10 points) Species C had no natural predators and was able to outcompete the other 2 species. Thus, its population increased dramatically.b) Species B’s population density decreased because species C probably directly competed with it.Species A’s population was less affected because it probably existed in a different niche than species C.c) in 2014, I predict that the population wil be about 40 bettles/square meter because the species will meet its carrying capacity.d) invasive species are often successful in new habitats because they outcompete with existing species for food and they have no natural predators.FREE RESPONSE GRADING RUBRICSBiochemistry Short Free Response – Page 5Cell Long Free Response – Pages 10-12Part A1 pointcorrect orientation with dependent variable (concentration) on y (vertical) axis and independent variable (time) on x (horizontal) axis1 pointcorrect axes labels with units and scaling for 5% line on axes provided1 pointcorrect plotting of all data points including zero (0,0); line is not necessary but if drawn must not extend beyond last data point; dashing line beyond last data point is okay; arrow at end of line is okay.Part B1 point correct prediction and legend (or label) for 0%, 1%, and 10% lines (0% line flat, 1% line below 5% line, 10% line above 5% line)1 pointcorrect explanation for 0% line (e.g., since there is no NaCl in the bag no Na+Cl- can diffuse into the water in the beaker)1 pointcorrect explanation for 1% line — must include a discussion of rate; connects concentration of NaCl with diffusion rate1 pointcorrect explanation for 10% line — must include a discussion of rate; connects concentration of NaCl with diffusion ratePart C1 pointstatement that water will leave the plant and description of effect this has on plant cell (e.g., loss of turgor, plasmolysis, decrease in cell volume, decrease in central vacuole volume)1 pointconcept of osmosis (e.g., movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane (cell or cell membrane) from solution with lower solute concentration (hypotonic) to solution with higher solute concentration (hypertonic)1 pointexplanation that water moves from solution with higher (more positive/less negative) water potential (ψ) to solution with lower (more negative) water potential (ψ)1 pointexplanation of how water loss can cause decreased crop production (e.g., stomates close, transpiration stops, photosynthesis stops, decreased metabolism)Energy and Metabolism Short Free Response – Page 19Cell Cycle and Heredity Short Free Response – Page 25Molecular Genetics Short Free Response – Page 30SIMILARITIES2 POINTS MAXIMUM1 point for similarity, 1 point for elaboration (in parentheses)Synthesize DNA in 5’ to 3’ direction (DNA polymerase III can only work in one direction)Use RNA primers to initiate replication (primase, DNA polymerase III must have a started sequence to be functional)Both have RNA primers replaced with DNA (DNA polymerase I)DIFFERENCES2 POINTS MAXIMUM2 points for difference including description of both strandsOne strand is synthesized as one, continuous strand (leading strand), while the other is synthesized in fragments (lagging strand).
