Researchers recently compiled data about 2,300 mammal species and 6,700 bird species and determine that the number of species down at tropic latitudes is greater than the numbers found at temperate and polar latitudes.

Move the statements that best explains why biodiversity is the greatest in the tropics into the category. Not all statements will be used. _{DOK 2}

There is a large amount of annual precipitation in tropic latitudes.
Regions near the equator have a longer growing season for plants.
There is less land in temperate and polar latitudes.
Temperate and polar latitudes have a large amount of water from snow melt.
Species in temporate and polar latitudes are better adapted to extreme weather.
Tropic latitudes experience less seasonal changes in climate.

Mrs. Smith separated her students into groups of 4. She gave each group a whiteboard and a set of markers. She instructed each group to make a model of the changes in eukaryotic cells during sexual reproduction. The model each group made looked like the diagram below:

Which statement below correctly explains the model to describe how mitosis maintains genetic continuity? _{DOK 1}

Genetic diversity increases in cells F and G because of crossing over in cell D.

Each nucleus becomes diploid when the nuclear membrane reforms in cell E.

Independent assortment occurs in cell B. This ensures cell C will have the correct number of chromosomes.

The chromosomes in cells F and G are the same as the chromosomes in cell A.

Scientists studied a species of phytoplankton. These phytoplankton are primary producers and are an important part of marine food webs. As all organisms are regulated by their environment, so are the phytoplankton. The scientists looked at the relationship between the phytoplankton population and a virus population found in the same environment. They created three environments in a laboratory setting to collect data on the numbers of phytoplankton and viruses over a period of time and graphed the results once they were averaged, as shown below.
The scientists claimed that the growth and stability of the phytoplankton populations were affected by the viruses. Using the information given, which TWO arguments support this claim? _{DOK 3}

The phytoplankton population decreased as the number of viruses increased because the cells of the phytoplankton were destroyed as the viruses used them to increase the number of viruses in the environment.

The phytoplankton population was affected by the viruses because the viruses were competitors for the food sources in the environment.

The phytoplankton population was affected by the increase in the number of viruses in the environment because the viruses used most of the carbon found in the environment.

As the phytoplankton population reached capacity, the number of viruses increased because the phytoplankton were the hosts to the viruses and replicated the viruses’ genome.

As the phytoplankton population increased, the number of viruses increased because the phytoplankton were consumed by the viruses.

The phytoplankton population was unable to absorb the light necessary for growth because the viruses covered the surface of the water.

The common cuckoo is a parasitic bird that lays its eggs in the nests of host birds. The cuckoo's ability to copy the marking patterns on host birds' eggs has evolved over time.

However, the egg patterns of host bird species have also evolved, making them harder to copy and easier for parents to recognize. When host birds do not recognize an egg in their nest, they push it out of the nest. When host birds fail to reject a cuckoo egg, they care for the extra egg, and when it hatches, the baby cuckoo pushes the host bird's eggs out of the nest. The table shows the rate at which three host species recognize their own eggs and the rate at which they reject cuckoo eggs.

First, use the drop-down menus to explain the data.

Based on the data, the developed ability to produce recognizable eggs and the because the genes of successful birds are passed to offspring,

Finding bodies of water is the most important task for the hummingbirds because they need to supplement the supply of nectar if it is inadequate to provide all the calories the hummingbirds need

to survive .

Finding mates to allow the hummingbirds to lay fertile eggs and have two parents to feed the new hatchlings is the most important task for the hummingbirds because they need to ensure there is a

new generation of hummingbirds in the region .

Finding suitable nesting materials and sites is the most important task the hummingbirds must

accomplish because they must produce offspring .

Finding a sufficient supply of flowering plants, flowering trees, and insects is the most important task

for the hummingbirds because they need food to survive .

Students studied Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment. They created a Punnett square to show a cross between a homozygous furred mouse (FF) and a homozygous furless mouse (ff). The students then created a second Punnett square for a cross between two heterozygous F₁ mice.
Which question could be answered using the information from the Punnett squares? _{DOK 2}

Will fewer furless mice survive to adulthood than furred mice?

How many mice will be produced in the F₁ generation?

Can furred mice produce furless mice?

Are furred mice the best organism to use for this investigation?

The diagram shows an incomplete pedigree for the inheritance of an autosomal dominant trait (allele G). With autosomal dominant traits, only one copy of the allele is needed for the trait to be inherited and expressed by offspring.

A male and female have a child that has three copies of chromosome 18. Although both parents are unaffected, their doctor claims that the disorder associated with having an extra chromosome 18 is the result of a chromosomal mutation in cells that carry inherited material. Which argument supports this claim? _{DOK 2}

A nondisjunction mutation was caused by the improper separation of the genetic material during meiosis, allowing the gamete of one parent to donate two copies of chromosome 18 to the child.

An insertion mutation during replication allowed the genetic material of chromosome 18 to be inserted into the genetic material of another chromosome, causing three copies of chromosome 18 to be made.

A substitution mutation during replication allowed the genetic material of chromosome 18 to replace the genetic material of a nearby chromosome, causing the child to have three copies of chromosome 18.

A mutation occurred when crossing over caused chromosome 18 to be replicated twice during meiosis, allowing one parent to donate two copies of chromosome 18 to the child.

Two students are given a list of characteristics for a certain organism:
Student 1 classifies the organism as a prokaryote, and Student 2 classifies it as a eukaryote.
Which student correctly classifies the organism and why? _{DOK 2 ALD2}

Student 1 classifies the organism as a prokaryote, and Student 2 classifies it as a eukaryote.

Student 2 is correct because prokaryotes do not have cell membranes.

Student 2 is correct because prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles.

Student 1 is correct because single-celled organisms are always classified as prokaryotic cells.

Some information about bacteria and viruses is shown.
Which argument about bacteria and viruses is supported by this information? _{DOK 3 ALD3}

Both bacteria and viruses are surrounded by protective coverings, though the composition of each covering may be different.

Both bacteria and viruses lack a nucleus, so they cannot acquire new characteristics.

Bacteria are larger than viruses, but bacteria are too small to host viruses.

Bacterial infections are easier to prevent and treat than viral infections.
