The experiment is about whether the concentration of sodium bicarbonate will have an effect or not on the rate of photosynthesis in spinach by recording the time taken by the leaf disks to float in the sodium bicarbonate solution with different concentrations (0.7% and 1.5%) as treatment groups and the distilled water as the control group.
Is it possible for leaf disks to float in thecontrol group (Distilled water)?
Why do you think the leaf disks floated at different times in your trial run?
What are the potential sources of error? How will you troubleshoot these when running your experiment?
On what basis will you determine the number of replicates to be used?

True or False? If false, explain why.
a) The ribosome moves along the mRNA in a 5’ à 3’ direction
b) The overall structure of the ribozyme is dictated by rRNA
c) Ribosomes consist of 2/3 protein and 1/3 rRNA
d) Each ribosome has 1 large subunit and one small subunit
e) The small ribosomal subunit is the first to bind to the mRNA via the 5’ cap
f) RNA polymerase II is responsible for transcribing messenger RNA •
g) Combinatorial control of gene expression involves groups of transcriptional regulators working together to determine the expression of a gene
h) A nonsense mutation is a type of base pair substitution that leads to a change from one amino acid to a different amino acid.

Punnett squares use the ____________ of gametes to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of all possible offspring.
Two laws of probability apply to genetics. The product rule states that the chance of two events occurring ____________ is equal to the multiplied probabilities of each of those two events occurring ____________ .
The sum rule adds ____________ probabilities to determine the ____________ probability for an event.
When events are described with the word "and", the ____________ rule is used. Events described using the word "or" often use the ____________ rule.
The results of one-trait and two-trait crosses, depending upon the ____________ of the gametes, have certain characteristic ratios that describe the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.
The sum rule is used to determine this value when the results of each ____________ are added.
Skin color and height are examples of polygenic traits that are controlled by ____________ sets of alleles.
Polygenic traits are graphically represented as a ____________ curve.
In polygenic inheritance, ____________ alleles all code for product and have a ____________ effect on phenotype.
The effects are additive and result in a ____________ of phenotypes.

you decide to determine the effect of used cigarette butts on water from Morses Creek NJ and how it affects the water quality index. In the lab you set up 3 large tanks of water from morses creek for the control group and 3 large tanks for the experimental group. Explain how you should set up the control group tank and the experimental group tanks to measure dissolved oxygen levels, ph levels, and nitrogen levels

If the egg-to-adult survival rates of genotypes A1A1, A1A2, and A2A2 are 90 percent, 85 percent, and 75 percent, and their fecundities are 50, 55, and 70 eggs per female, respectively, what are the absolute fitnesses (W) of these genotypes? Using A1A1 as the fitness reference, what are the relative fitnesses (w)? If the frequency of the A2 allele is p = 0.5, what will be its frequency one generation later? What will be the allele frequency when the population reaches equilibrium (stops evolving)?

1.) Come up with one (1) example of how two (2) sympatric species of Apis bees could potentially be prevented from successfully mating with each other in the wild. The mechanism could be behavioral, environmental, etc. - just no direct human intervention. Your example can be based on reality or be totally imaginary. Just make sure to explain how your answer would successfully contribute to reproductive isolation.

1.You are studying gene X, a methylation sensitive gene. You observe that when X is expressed, there is also a non-coding transcript, Y, that is expressed on the same chromosome.
–Outline experimental methods/techniques to investigate how Y can regulate the expression of gene X through methylation. Explain what each method would produce.
2.Explain what is meant by chromatin remodeling AND give an example of the molecular machinery involved.
