**DICE ROLL**

Assign the following metabolic pathways to their correct process and give rationale: 

Metabolic Pathway: Catabolic           Anabolic

Process: Photosynthesis        Cellular respiration

Cellular respiration- Catabolic; Glucose is broken down to form ATP, CO2, & H2O

Photosynthesis- Anabolic; CO2, H2O, & light are build into a glucose molecule

1

The purpose of pigments like chlorophyll in photosynthesis is to _____ in order to excite ______

Absorb wavelengths of light; Excite electrons

1

The phase of photosynthesis that involves converting inorganic carbon to an organic carbon molecule, then reducing it to form G3P

The Calvin Cycle

1

Oxidative phosphorylation is another term for the electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, & ATP synthesis during which process?

Aerobic cellular respiration

**DICE ROLL**

In which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

(Must name both the main phase & sub-phase)

Interphase- S Phase

1

In which phase of both mitosis & meiosis does disjunction occur?

Anaphase (I & II)

1

What is the final products of meiosis for...:

Spermatogenesis

Oogenesis

Include quantity & chromosome status

Spermatogenesis- 4 haploid sperm cells

Oogenesis- 1 haploid egg with 3 polar bodies

Bonus Madness! +1 extra point for correct answers

1) Name the term for a failure of sister chromatids and/or homologous chromosomes to separate.

2) What type of abnormality does this cause?

Nondisjunction

Aneuploidy

1

**DICE ROLL**

If an F1 generation had the genotypes TT & Tt, what would the genotypes & phenotypic ratio be for the offspring?

Genotypes: TT, TT, Tt, Tt

Phenotypic ratio: 4:0

1

Which type of bacterial operon typically governs housekeeping & survival genes that need to be expressed constantly?

Constitutive

1

Which cellular component brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation?

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

1

During transcription, RNA Polymerase reads the ________ strand to create an mRNA strand containing the gene information of the _____ strand

Template strand; coding strand

Genetics Chapters 2

1

Name the 3 components of a nucleotide

Nitrogenous base

Pentose sugar (deoxyribose, ribose)

Phosphate

**DICE ROLL**

Addition of certain chemical groups to increase DNA + histone affinity makes chromatin more condensed. Which type of chromatin would this create?

Heterochromatin

1

WILD WOMBAT CHALLENGE

Accept: + 4 points to your group; the entire group must complete the challenge to the instructor's satisfaction

Decline: Force another group to accept the challenge, BUT they get double points (and you get none)

You must perform a proper, yet personalized rendition of a Monty Python silly walk around the room. Ridiculousness is crucial!
