18. The uncontrolled division of certain body cells, which then
invade the surrounding tissues and interfere with the normal
functioning of the body, is known as
1) cleavage
3) cancer
2) regeneration
4) oogenesis
19. One function of the placenta in a human is to
1) permit passage of nutrients and oxygen from the mother
to the fetus
2) allow for mixing of maternal blood with fetal blood
3) act as the heart of the fetus, pumping blood until the
fetus is born
4) surround the embryo and protect it from shock

20. The diagram below illustrates the process of cell division.
What is the significance of anaphase in this process?
1) In anaphase, the cell splits in half.
2) In anaphase, the DNA is being replicated.
3) Anaphase usually ensures that each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
4) Anaphase usually ensures that each daughter cell has twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell.

Base your answers to questions 21 through 24 on the information below and on your knowledge of biology.
Stem Cells
If skin is cut, the wound closes within days. If a leg is broken, the fracture will usually mend if the bone is set correctly.
Almost all human tissue can repair itself to some extent. Much of this repair is due to the activity of stem cells. These cells
resemble those of a developing embryo in their ability to reproduce repeatedly, forming exact copies of themselves. They may
also form many other different kinds of cells. Stem cells in bone marrow offer a dramatic example. They can give rise to all of
the structures in the blood: red blood cells, platelets, and various types of white blood cells. Other stem cells may produce the
various components of the skin, liver, or intestinal lining.
The brain of an adult human can sometimes compensate for damage by making new connections among surviving nerve
cells (neurons). For many years, most biologists believed that the brain could not repair itself because it lacked stem cells that
would produce new neurons.
A recent discovery, however, indicates that a mature human brain does produce neurons routinely at one site, the
hippocampus, an area important to memory and learning. This discovery raises the prospect that stem cells that make new
neurons in one part of the brain might be found in other areas. If investigators can learn how to cause existing stem cells to
produce useful numbers of functional nerve cells, it might be possible to correct a number of disorders involving damage to
neurons such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and brain injuries.
21. What is the process by which stem cells produce exact copies of themselves?
1) glucose synthesis
2) sexual reproduction
3) cell division by mitosis
4) cell division by meiosis
22. Until recently, many biologists thought that the brain could not repair itself because they thought it
1) could not make new connections between neurons
3) lacked stem cells needed to produce new neurons
2) could form new cells only in certain areas of the brain
4) had DNA different from DNA in reproductive cells
23. Stem cells may be similar to the cells of a developing embryo because both cell types can
1) help the brain to learn and remember things
3) cause Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
2) divide and differentiate
4) produce only one type of cell
24. Describe how this new discovery concerning stem cells might help to treat diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.
25. Complex organisms produce sex cells that unite during
fertilization, forming a single cell known as
1) an embryo
3) a gamete
2) a zygote
4) a gonad
26. The chromatids of a double-stranded chromosome are held
together at a region known as the
1) centriole
3) centromere
2) polar body
4) Golgi complex
27. Which process is most directly involved in the production of
egg cells by a female frog?
1) meiosis
3) metamorphosis
2) regeneration
4) cleavage
28. Toxins can harm a developing fetus. They usually enter the
fetus by the process of
1) recombination of genes from the fetus and mother
2) active transport from the ovary
3) diffusion across placental membranes
4) blood flow from the mother to the fetus
29. Offspring that result from meiosis and fertilization each have
1) gene combinations identical to those of each parent
2) twice as many chromosomes as their parents
3) gene combinations different from those of either parent
4) one-half as many chromosomes as their parents

32. Base your answer to the following question on the information and data tables below and on your knowledge of biology. Use one or more
complete sentences to answer each question.
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause the class of birth defect known as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Scientists do not
yet understand the process by which alcohol causes damage to the fetus. There is evidence, however, that the more a pregnant
woman drinks, the greater the chances that the child will be affected and the birth defects will be serious. Some evidence indicates
that even low levels of alcohol consumption can cause intellectual and behavioral problems.
Do the data in the tables justify scientists' conclusions that alcohol causes physical abnormalities at birth by interfering with the normal
development of the fetus?
Defend your position with supporting data.
33. Write one or more paragraphs that compare the two methods of reproduction, asexual and sexual. Your answer must include at least:
• one similarity between the two methods
• one difference between the two methods
• one example of an organism that reproduces by asexual reproduction
• one example of an organism that reproduces by sexual reproduction

33. The student should write one or more paragraphs comparing
asexual and sexual reproduction.
Appropriate responses may include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Similarities between asexual and sexual reproduction:
• both produce new organisms • both transfer genetic material
Differences between asexual and sexual reproduction:
• no fusion of nuclei in asexual reproduction; fusion of gamete nuclei
in sexual reproduction
• asexual reproduction involves no sex cells; sexual reproduction
involves sex cells, the sperm and the egg
• Offspring of asexual reproduction is from one parent; offspring of
sexual reproduction is from a combination of two parents' DNA; in
asexual reproduction, there is little or no variation (e.g., binary
fission); in sexual reproduction, there is greater variation
Examples of organisms that reproduce by asexual reproduction:
• bacteria - hydra • yeast - planaria • ameba - bread mold
Examples of organisms that reproduce by sexual reproduction:
• humans - fish
• most animals - earthworms
• grasshoppers
• flowering plants
24. Examples: — Existing stem cells could be made to produce functional
nerve cells in damaged brain areas. — Damaged neurons could be
restored by the activity of stem cells.
