Practice EOC Biology Assessment Questions
with Complete Solutions
11. Which claim is MOST consistent with the evidence that psbO DNA sequences are detected in
E. Chlorotica eggs? B. The psbO gene was transferred from V. Litorea to a recent ancestor
of E. Chlorotica.
12. Which statement correctly uses the data from the table to support a claim that nuclear
genes support chloroplast function in V. Litorea? M. psbO DNA sequences are detected in
the nucleus but not in chloroplasts.
13. Which action could lead to a reduction in atmospheric carbon? D. Humans planting
trees in a forest.
14. Bees cross-pollinate flowers when moving from flower to flower to obtain nectar. Bees use
the collected nectar to create honey. Which three ecosystem services are best represented by
this model? M. Provisioning services: goods provided by or produced by ecosystems.
P. Regulating services: benefits obtained from regulation of ecosystem services.
S. Supporting services: services necessary for production of other ecosystem services.
, 15. Which TWO natural events would lead to this type of succession? C. Lava flow from a
volcano
E. Retreat of a glacier
16. Which claim about the shark population is BEST supported using the data? S. The
population of sharks in Shark Bay is larger in the summer than in the winter.
17. Which THREE processes occur during meiosis? A. Crossing over
C. Formation of gametes
D. Independent assortment
18. A researcher is planning an experiment to engineer a nonfunctional version of an RTK.
Which engineered protein will MOST LIKELY be a nonfunctional RTK? R. An RTK protein
that is unable to bind to the signaling molecule.
