____ 22. The action potential
a. is a chemical that diffuses across a synapse.
b. transmits information from the cell body to the axon through the
synapse.
c. is an electric current that passes through the axon and causes
the release of neurotransmitters into
the synapse.
____ 24. Humans need _________ to move parts of the appendicular
skeleton, such as the arm.
a. muscles
b. bones
c. joints
____ 25. An MRI reveals that a patient’s heart valves are inflamed.
Doctor A says that the patient has coronary artery
disease. Doctor B says that the patient has rheumatic fever. Which
doctor is most likely correct?
a. Doctor A, because the heart valves pump blood into coronary
arteries.
b. Doctor B, because antibodies attack heart valves in rheumatoid
fever.
c. Doctor A, because arterial clogging leads to hear valve
fatigue.
____ 26. Which lists the layers of skin from outer to inner?
a. dermis, melanin
b. epidermis, dermis
c. melanin, epidermis
____ 27. A doctor find that her patient’s white blood cell count is

In Drosophila black body (B) is dominant to gray (b) and long wings (L) is dominant to short wings (l). The F1 flies were produced by crossing a homozygous black, homozygous long winged fly with a gray short winged fly. (4)
a) Give the genotypes of the Parents and the F1.
b) If an F1 is testcrossed, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?
c) If the F1 are allowed to interbreed what are the expected phenotypes and probably proportions in the F2 generation?
d) If the F1 is mated with a true breeding black and long winged fly, what would be the expected phenotype(s) and the probably proportions of the F2 generation

Your team has posed the question: Does MAD1 control the metaphase checkpoint? The hypothesis was: If MAD1 gives the signal to progress to anaphase after chromosomes have aligned, then a group of mutant MAD1 cells will more often have imperfect chromosome numbers after a series of cell divisions compared to normal cells.You investigated this question by comparing the cell division of cells that have the normal, or “wildtype” MAD1 gene to the division of cells with the mutant MAD1 gene. In your experiments, you compared the number of “aneuploid” cells (imperfect chromosome numbers) to the number of “euploid” (correct chromosome numbers) in your experimental group of MAD1 mutant cells and your control group of MAD1 normal cells.
Percent Aneuploid cells in Sample (incorrect chromosome number) | ||||||
Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | Sample 4 | Average | Standard Deviation | |
Control: Normal MAD1 cells | 7% | 15% | 8% | 13% | 10.75% | 3.86 |
Experimental: Mutant MAD1 cells | 30% | 25% | 37% | 29% | 30.25% | 4.99 |
Results: Average Percent of Aneuploid Cells after 24 hrs
Control:Normal MAD1 cells had an average of 10 percent aneuploid cells after 24 hours.
Experimental: Mutatnt MAD1 cells had an average of 30 percent aneuploid cells after 24 hours
Question:
Develop a conclusion based on these results. Is the hypothesis supported or rejected? Explain your reasoning.
