Name _________________________________________________________ AP EXAM REVIEW SESSION II – AP LABS ASSESSMENT QUIZ A student set up an experiment using Drosophila fruit flies. The student wished to determine the LC-50 dose of the exposure of caffeine to fruit flies. The lethal concentration is reached when 50% (LC-50) or more of the flies die when exposed to a toxin. The student mixed various concentrations of caffeine with the fruit fly media and then added 50 eggs to each vial. Results of the study are shown below.

You carry out an experiment involving bacteria and antibiotic-resistant plasmids. While using a culture Escherichia coli that has been growing for 24 hours at optimal temperature, you make all four tubes competent. Then you add a plasmid carrying a gene for resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin to two of the tubes only. You do not add plasmid to the remaining tubes two tubes.
