AP Biology Questions with CORRECT Answers
Question:
Active Transport
Answer:
movement of a substance against its concentration gradient (from low to high
concentration)
Question:
is one of two or more forms of a gene. Different alleles can result in different traits, such
as color. Other times, different alleles will have the same result in the expression of a
gene.
Answer:
Alleles
Question:
Altruism
Answer:
selfless concern for the welfare of others.
Question:

Answer:
A short-term change in the electrical potential on the surface of a cell.
Question:
Anaphase I
Answer:
begins when the two chromosomes of each bivalent (tetrad) separate and start moving
toward opposite poles of the cell as a result of the action of the spindle.
Question:
