3 purple and 1 white

Which is an example of an environmental influence that would most likely result in natural selection? The soil in a field always has lots of nutrients, so corn plants in a population can grow quickly. A fish is born with a genetic mutation that produces a longer tail, allowing the fish to swim faster than others in the population. A food resource disappears in a pond, and some frogs in a population can eat the remaining food resource, while others cannot. The temperature in a lake remains constant, so most of the turtle population survives to adulthood.

A food resource disappears in a pond, and some frogs in a population can eat the remaining food resource, while others cannot.

Gerald missed a question on the sepal.

Clem is homozygous for earlobe type. What does this mean?

He has two of the same alleles for earlobe type, one from each parent.

A person with a bacterial infection is taking amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic. The bacteria that are causing the infection have mutated and fight off the amoxicillin. Which best summarizes this mutation?

It is harmful to the person and beneficial to the bacteria

Lunularia cruciata is a species of plant that grows close to the ground in moist areas. It cannot grow in dry areas because it cannot transport water through its tissues. What is most likely true about this species?

It is nonvascular

Which statement describes the blood type of a person with the alleles ii?

It is type O because i is recessive

How does cellular respiration help heal a bruise?

It produces the energy used to heal cells

Which scientist most inspired Darwin to pursue his studies of evolution? Linnaeus, who first proposed that humans and primates are similar Malthus, who thought that populations could outgrow their food sources Linnaeus, who thought that populations could outgrow their food sources Malthus, who first proposed that humans and primates are similar

Malthus, who thought that populations could outgrow their food sources.

Which example is most similar to the evidence that Darwin used to support his idea of natural selection?

Mice that are able to blend into their environment and escape predators are likely to survive and reproduce

Jen makes a Venn diagram to compare active transport and passive transport. Which label belongs in the region marked X?

Moves molecules

Large areas on the leaves of some plants lack chlorophyll and are therefore not green in color. How does this most likely affect photosynthesis?

Not enough sunlight is captured in these areas of the leaves.

A teacher makes a Venn diagram to compare asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Which label belongs in the region marked X?

Produces offspring

A scientist is observing a gymnosperm. It is a desert shrub with needle-like leaves. The shrub has a deep root system and produces cones. Which gymnosperm is the scientist most likely observing?

She is observing a gnetophyte because, unlike other gymnosperms, gnetophytes can grow as shrubs in deserts.

A cell is put into a liquid and remains its original size. What is the best conclusion that can be drawn from this observation?

The concentration of water in the cell is the same as in the liquid, so water is moving in and out of the cell at the same rate.

A population of ducks lives in an area that floods many times each year. Some of the ducks are better at finding food on dry land, while other ducks are better at finding food in wet, muddy areas. Eventually, the land around the lake permanently changes from dry soil to wet, marshy mud. How will this change to the land most likely affect the duck population?

The population will evolve so that most ducks are better at finding food in wet, muddy areas.

The diagram shows the embryological development of a species. Which is best supported by the diagram?

The species could be human because it has gill slits, limb buds, and a tail.

Mums are plants that bloom in the fall. Which statement describes the photoperiodism of mums?

They bloom when the nights are longer

How do naturally occurring hormones affect plants?

They keep buds inactive in winter, speed up the growth of plant cells, and ripen fruits.

Study the diagram of a cell. Which structures are found in both plant and animal cells?

W and Z

cytoplasm, cell membrane

Which organelles are involved in the production of proteins?

endoplasmic reticulum and ribosome

After concluding his research, which statements would Virchow agree with? Check all that apply.

living things can only come from living things, Cells come from pre-existing cells.

Some animals shiver as a natural, involuntary response to their environment. Shivering generates heat. This is an example of which function?

maintaining homeostasis by regulating body temperature

naked seeds

no, because they are not multicellular or eukaryotic

selective breeding

A wedge-capped capuchin is a species of South American monkeys. They live in groups that typically have one male and several females. Sometimes young males live in a group too in order to help take care of the young. Most groups have a dominant female that often displays aggression toward other females and young males in the group. Which best describes the group behavior of these monkeys?

social hierarchy

stores food
