BIO 101: FINAL EXAM (Illinois State
University)Questions With All Correct
Answers
- it is heavily oversimplified
- a scientist cannot explain a hypothesis with one experiment
- science is not at all linear (it is a "sloppy circle")
- this implies that it is an independent effort, which it is not
- it isn't always a planned experiment (serendipity)
- it ignores technology and and societies developing nature Correct answer-Describe why the
scientific method is inadequate of describing what science is.
- it is not just a theory
- an individual organism cannot just evolve
- evolution does not explain the origin of life
- organisms cannot evolve on purpose if they're smart enough Correct answer-Explain why the
claim that evolutionary theory is "just a theory" reflects incorrect understanding of what science is.
community analysis and feedback (how science works) Correct answer-this area consists of
feedback and peer review, replication and/or publication, and discussion/motivation with mutual
colleagues
1. composed of organized cells
2. uses energy/has metabolism
3. respond to environmental changes/stimuli
4. regulation/homeostasis
5. growth and development
6. reproduction
7. biological evolution Correct answer-Identify properties that are shared by all life as we know it
prokaryote Correct answer-cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles
eukaryote Correct answer-cells contain membrane-bound organelles and are organized into
complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton
process where genetic information in a population causes differential reproduction but is minimized
to the better adapted organisms who can sustain life in their environment, those who do not die off
leaving the better heredity to reproduce and leave generations of changing adaptions to DNA (the
strongest and the fittest survive) Correct answer-explain how natural selection happens
mutation allows some genes to be modified and can be useful or harmful. mutation is a change in
the DNA sequence causing error in DNA replication and mutagens. Correct answer-explain the role
of mutation in evolution
- populations become geographically separated
- gene flow is interrupted
- genetic and phenotypic changes accumulate Correct answer-What occurs in allopatric speciation?
- polyploidy gives rise to new species
, - parasite short specificity gives to a new species Correct answer-What occurs in sympatric
speciation?
when a species experiences different environmental pressures, they adapt differently and over time
this will create a new and unique species Correct answer-explain how speciation happens
predict the likelihood of inheritance using a pungent square Correct answer-p P
p pp pP
P pP PP
molecular cloning, first of all, is when you extract a gene from one species, insert it into a vector, it
will grow bacterial colonies, and then the bacterial cells that took up the gene express the protein
product of the gene.
can help livestock and crops/medicines
fermentation
treatment of oil spills
biofuel production Correct answer-explain how molecular cloning can be used to help solve
problems in areas such as agriculture and medicine
mutualism Correct answer-interaction between two species and both species receive a benefit
from the interaction
predation Correct answer-when an organism eats another for energy and nutrients
competition Correct answer-when living in the same environment, two species cannot coexist in a
community if they're competing for all of the same resources
commensalism Correct answer-when one species benefits from the relationship and the other is
unaffected (bird nesting in a tree)
parasitism Correct answer-living in another organism and living off of their nutrients
- losing Miami and New Orleans to ice melting
- Sea level rise
- glacial and ice cap melting
- more severe weather
- economic losses such as tourism
- cancer causing chemicals trapped in the ozone Correct answer-identify consequences of climate
change on society
the carbon levels have rapidly risen as well as the temperature Correct answer-counteract denial of
climate change with data
Genetic biodiversity Correct answer-the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of
individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms; raw material for adaptation in a species; genes with
the most adaptations are the most genetically diverse
chemical biodiversity Correct answer-neem tree: neem oil
rosie periwinkle: extract is used to make chemotherapy drugs
