What are the 4 types of Biotechnologies/Genetic engineering methods?
What is Cloning, GMOs/Transgenic, DNA Fingerprinting, and Stem Cells?

Who is the father of Evolution?
Who is Charles Darwin?
100
What is the definition of microevolution?
What is a change of allele frequencies in a population over a short period of time?
100
Explain the three types of evolutionary patterns?
Convergent - No common ancestor but have similar traits
Divergent - Common ancestor
Coevolution - two species directly affect each other's evolution
100
What is the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic?
Hyper - water out
Hypo - water in
Iso - same water out and in

Up to 90% of soybeans in the market have been genetically modified to be naturally resistant to an herbicide called, Round Up. This increased resistance to the herbicide and allows farmers to use more RoundUp to kill weeds. However, this results not only in a genetically modified food product, but also a food product loaded with more chemicals.
What is GMOs?

Explain what does "Survival of the fittest" mean
What is if an species do not adapt to their environment they die off because they cannot reproduce?
200
What are the 3 types of adaptations and give 1 example of each?
What is Behavioral, Physiological, and Structural?
200
What are the 4 pieces of evidence for evolution?
What is comparative morphology, biochemical genetics, fossils, and biogeographical?
200
What happens if a cell misses a checkpoint during the cell cycle?
What is mutation?
300
What are stem cells and what can they be used for?
What is cells that do not have a job yet and they can be made into cells that are damaged by injury or disease?
300
What is an disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
What is a lack of genetic diversity which limits their ability to adapt to frequent changes?
300
Explain what the 2 different types of genetic drift
Bottleneck Effect - disaster that leaves a small handful of a population
Founders Effect - lack of genetic variation due to a small mating population
300
What is the difference between homologous and analogous structures?
Homologous - common ancestor, but different function (Ex: Bird wing and Human arm)
Analogous - different ancestor, but same function
(Ex: Bat wing and butterfly wing)

What is Oxygen and Glucose?

What question would cloning a herd of cattle (a group of cows) from a single cow most likely help to solve?
A. How can all of the cattle in the herd have different colored fur?
B. How can all of the cattle in the herd have more genetic variation?
C. How can all of the cattle in the herd have the most desired traits?
D. How can all of the cattle in the herd have exactly the same life spans?
What is How can all of the cattle in the herd have the most desired traits?
400
Variation in a population is increased by what?
What is mutations?
400
Would it be possible for a plant population in Biome I to survive to Biome B?
A) Yes, if the plants develop water storing structures
B) Yes, if the plants develop shallow roots to avoid cold permafrost
C) Yes, if the plants develop structures to compete for light
D) No, because plants can only adapt to their native biome
What is C?

Explain what this picture is an example of
What is Gradualism - idea that large changes are due to small changes building up over time?
400
What type of mutation does not lead to a change in amino acid?
What is silent mutation?

The diagram below represents some steps in a procedure used in the field of biotechnology.
This bacterial cell can now be used to produce what?
What is insulin that can now be used by humans?
500
What is the difference between Lamark's theory and Darwin's theory?
What is Darwin believed that changes occur by chance at birth when the organisms were born, Lamarck believed that change occurs throughout the organism's lifestyle as they adjust to the numerous changes in their environment?
500
Explain what an antibiotic is and explain how can a bacteria population become antibiotic resistant
Antibiotic is a drug that kills bacteria.
Bacteria can become antibiotic resistant through mutations and selection
500
What are the three types of speciation? Explain
Punctuated Equilibrium - changes can occur in a short period of time and no changes can occur over a long period of time
Gradualism - large changes can occur to small changes building up over time
Adaptive Radiation - species rapidly diversifies

What are the three steps of Cellular Respiration?
What is glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and ETC?
