Imagine a species with three loci thought to be on the same chromosome. The recombination rate between locus A and locus B is 12% and the recombination rate between locus B and locus C is 21%. Predict the recombination rate between locus A and locus C.

Tell me something that you studied that did not end up getting asked on the exam. Explain in detail (incomplete or one sentence answers will not receive credit).

An enzyme’s substrate fits into the _________  on the enzyme.

Use the figure below to answer the following question. You plan to put in some shades that limit the wavelength of light passing through in a plant grow room to reduce the heat from too much light coming into it. If you could choose one color (i.e. wavelength) that would maximize growth, which would you pick?

An experiment placed apple fruit slices into a variety of concentrations of fructose. The apple slices did not change weight in the 0.3 molar solution.  Which of the following is FALSE?

During the night time if you measured the pH of a chloroplast, you would expect

Which of the following could be present in a prokaryotic cell?

Use the figure below to answer the question: Which molecule(s) would form the structure of a protein?

Fill in the blanks after reading about the following experiment. To test the hypothesis that cells grow faster when given glucose, 12 flasks of cells were set up.  Samples of cells from each flask were measured.  Then 1 mL of 0 M glucose was added to 4 flasks, 1 mL of 0.1 M glucose was added to another 4 flasks and a 3rd set of 4 flasks was given 1 mL of 0.2 M glucose.  After 8 hours, the number of cells in each flask was determined. Independent variable: ________________________________ Dependent variable: _________________________________ Control group: ______________________________________

The phosphate buffer system plays an important role in plasma and red blood cells. If the plasma pH begins to rise (increases), what will most likely happen?
