This document features over 100 fully answered and verified questions from Principles of Biology Exam 3 for Professor Shadwick’s course at the University of Arkansas (UARK), academic year 2025/2026. It provides a thorough and exam-focused review of core biological concepts essential for success in introductory college biology. The content is well-structured and ideal for undergraduate students enrolled in Principles of Biology, General Biology I/II, or preparing for pre-med, pre-vet, life sciences, or environmental science tracks. Each answer is clearly marked and accompanied by concise explanations for effective learning and retention. Major topics covered include: Biological Evolution: Darwin vs. Lamarck, natural selection types, microevolution vs. macroevolution, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium Speciation & Reproductive Isolation: Allopatric, sympatric, pre-zygotic and post-zygotic barriers Prokaryotes & Archaea: Structure, reproduction, metabolism, gene transfer, Gram staining, types of archaea Bacteria: Pathogens, resistance, antibiotics, metabolism types, endospores Viruses: Structure, life cycle, antigenic drift/shift, prions Protists & Fungi: Evolution, types (sac fungi, club fungi), mutualistic relationships (lichens, mycorrhizae) Plant Biology: Algae to land plant evolution, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms, flower structures, pollination, and seed dispersal This document is ideal for: Biology majors and minors Pre-health and pre-veterinary students Students taking POB at UARK under Prof. Shadwick Anyone preparing for standardized biology exams (e.g., MCAT biology section) Learners needing a comprehensive and accessible exam review resource Whether used for last-minute studying or ongoing reinforcement, this guide ensures clarity and confidence in mastering biological systems and evolutionary mechanisms. Keywords: evolution, natural selection, speciation, Hardy-Weinberg, microevolution, macroevolution, bacteria, archaea, Gram stain, gene transfer, viruses, prions, protists, fungi, mycorrhizae, lichens, plant evolution, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms, flower anatomy, seed dispersal, POB Exam 3, University of Arkansas, UARK biology, Shadwick biology, biology exam prep

POB Exam 3 UARK Shadwick 2025/2026
Exam Questions and Answers | 100%
Solved



Biological Evolution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔organisms change over time


Darwin - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Theory of Natural Selection (short necked giraffes

die and therefore, don't reproduce)


Lamarck - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics (giraffes

stretch their necks to reach food and then their offspring are born with the

longer neck)


Evidence of Evolution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Fossils, Transitional Forms,

Analogous Structures, Homologous Structures, Vestigial Structures


Fossils - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔hard body parts, embedded in sedimentary rock,

deposited in Strata

,Mold - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔air space remains


Cast - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Silica fills space


Transitional Form - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Whale: reduced hind limbs and pelvic

bones


Analogous Structure - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔evolved separately but have similar

functions ex. human and octopi eyes


Homologous Structure - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔similar structure but have different

functions ex. arm, cat, whale, bat


biochemical evidence of evolution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔DNA, ATP, enzymes

are universal


Genetic Code evidence of evolution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔RNA to amino acid

triplets are universal, many genes are shared by all organisms


Microevolution - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔change in allele frequency in a population

over time


who evolves - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔populations

, Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔No mutations, No genetic

drift, No gene flow, No natural selection, Random Mating


Mutation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔cause allele frequency in a populations, only

source of variation, random events


Genetic Drift - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔causes allele frequency to fluctuate; greater

in smaller populations


Bottleneck Effect - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔catastrophe kills large amount of people,

loss of genetic diversity; recessive alleles become more present


Gene Flow - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔movement of alleles between populations;

mixes genetic diversity in a populations; makes two pools or more similar

populations similar


Random Mating - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔individuals do not choose mates, never

observed in natural population


Natural Selection - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔heritable variation, over-reproduction

causes competition and differ in reproductive success and fitness,

Adaptation
