The less complex animals make a
mouth first… they call these animals
protostomes.
• Proto =‘before’
• Some stop there
– Just have a mouth
Animals that make an anus first are
called deuterostomes. These tend to be
more complex.

[In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg
equilibrium, the frequency of a particular
recessive allele is 0.4. What is the
percentage of the population that is
heterozygous for this allele?]
P2 +2pq + q2 = 1
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
[4%]
[16%]
[32%]
[48%]
[64%]
OR
p+q =1…
Question gives you q. Frequency is 0.4 for the
recessive. The dominant is therefore 0.6…
(Because p+q=1 is part of the equation…)
Since hybrid = 2pq, answer is 2*.6*.4 =48%
[If homozygous recessive is 16% of the
total population, how many are
homozygous dominant?]
2 =16%, or .16, so
q
A. [16%]
q = .4
B. [32%]
If q = .4, then p = .6
C. [36%] So p2 = .36, = 36%
D. [52%]

2 types of circulatory systems
1. Open circulatory system:
Blood is pumped by heart
into open body cavities
where it surrounds the
organs.
ex: Arthropods, Molluscs
1. Closed circulatory system:
Blood is pumped by heart
through vessels to all parts
of the body, and oxygen
and nutrients diffuse across
the membranes.
ex: Annelids, Chordates
[what is the benefit to a closed
circulatory system?]
A. [You can be assured that all tissues
receive nutrients and oxygen]
B. [You can be assured that waste products
are removed from every area]
C. [there is no ‘waste’ of nutrients. An open
system floods the area with fluid.]
D. [all of the above]
