Final Test Study Guide Unit 4: Adaptation Knowledge: A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein (not in notes) The definition of a trait (Traits, 3/21) Difference between inherited and acquired traits (Traits, 3/21) Understand how one broken gene can affect the whole body (Genes to Traits, 3/22) The differences and pros/cons of sexual and asexual reproduction (Passing on Traits, 3/23) Examples of organisms that use sexual vs. asexual reproduction (Passing on Traits, 3/23) How many copies of DNA each human cell contains (Dominant and Recessive, 5/16) The definitions of dominant and recessive genes (Dominant and Recessive, 5/16) The definitions of environment and adaptation (Environment and Adaptation, 3/24) Understand why there is no best adaptation (Environment and Adaptation, 3/24) The definitions of crypsis, camouflage, and mimicry (Crypsis, 4/04) The definitions of natural selection and evolution (Natural Selection, 4/06) Identify the contributions of Charles Darwin to biology (Natural Selection, 4/06) The definition and sources of mutation and why mutation is important (Mutation, 4/14) How artificial selection is similar and different to natural selection (Artificial Selection, 4/18) Skills: Differentiate between inherited and acquired traits given examples and/or provide examples of each type of trait (Traits, 3/21) Identify situations where sexual or asexual sexual reproduction would be superior (Passing on Traits, 3/23) Deduce the appearance of an organism as dominant or recessive given the genes (Dominant and Recessive, 5/16) Create a 2x2 Punnett Square and interpret the percentage of offspring that will be dominant or recessive (Dominant and Recessive, 5/16) Identify adaptations of organisms and relate them to their environment (Environment and Adaptation, 3/24) Differentiate between camouflage and mimicry in a given example, and when an adaptation may count as both (Crypsis, 4/04) Speculate on how a change in an environment may affect a species (Natural Selection, 4/06) o See the Paper Butterfly story for the process (same set of notes) Given a location in the body, identify whether a mutation would be passed on (Mutation, 4/14) Unit 5: Classification Knowledge: The definition of classification (Classification Trees, 4/20) Why similarities are important in classification (Classification Trees, 4/20) What a dichotomous key is and what are its requirements (Dichotomous Keys, 4/22) The three domains of life (Tree of Life, 4/26) The three “true” kingdoms and one “false” kingdom of eukaryotes (Tree of Life, 4/26) The identifying characteristics of the kingdoms of eukaryotes (Tree of Life, 4/26) o (Note: you are not responsible for knowing what alternation of generations is) The two sources of information for phylogenetics and their pros and cons (Phylogenetics, 5/23) Skills: Read a classification tree to identify the relatedness of organisms (Classification Trees, 4/20) Identify when two classification trees are the same (Classification Trees, 4/20) Construct a simple classification tree given the number of differences between examples (Classification Trees, 4/20) Use a dichotomous key to identify an object or organism (Dichotomous Keys, 4/22) Count the number of differences between sequences and speculate on their relatedness (see Phylogenetics Worksheet under assignments for examples) Previous Units: Unit 1: Atoms and Molecules Parts of the atom, their charges, and where they are located The definition of a molecule and be able to identify an example as an atom or molecule Definition of density and be able to do calculations given values The phases of matter and how they relate to the speed of the particles, the density, and whether the phase has a set volume and shape Unit 2: Earth Science The layers of the Earth and their relative densities How vertical and horizontal sorting order sediment Unit 3: Cells and Organ Systems Definitions of osmosis and diffusion and how they affect the motion of particles The levels of organization in life The functions of the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria The differences between animal and plant cells The organ systems of the body and their functions
