McMaster Bio 1M03: Exam 2024/2025 Questions with all the correct Answers (Real Actual Exam). Why might Pasteur's experiment be inconclusive? - ANS - The swan-necked flask broth may not support cell growth, or the broth was poisoned. Experiment did not confirm hypothesis that all cells come from pre-existing cells Why are replicates important in experiments? - ANS - To ensure that results were not achieved by random chance What is the definition of a replicate? - ANS - Unit that shares a c...

define one genetic map unit ~ the physical distance between two genes that results in a 1% frequency of recombination In birds, sex is determined by ZW chromosome inheritance. Males are ZZ and females are ZW. Within pigeon populations there is a recessive, Z-linked allele that is lethal in embryos. What is the expected sex ratio in the offspring of a cross between a male that is heterozygous for the lethal allele and a wildtype female? ~ 2:1 male to female A recessive allele on the X c...

AP Biology Exam Questions and Answers Graded A+ What are the 2 theories of evolution? Explain each Gradualism- geologic changes result from slow, gradual, continuous process Punctuated Equilibrium- Long period of stasis punctuated by short bursts of significant change. What was Lamarck's theory and why was it wrong? Lamarck = Inheritance of Acquired characteristics- traits acquired during lifetime could be passed on What is natural selection Comptetition for limited resources re...

Evolution Correct Answer: A change in a population overtime *change = usually a slight modification of traits Vestigial Trait Correct Answer: A trait or characteristic that does not function well or at all How can vestigial traits be used to show change in organisms over time? Correct Answer: They are a trait present in ancestors but no longer useful in living organism. Examples: tail bones in humans Examples of vestigial traits Correct Answer: Examples: *Tail bone in humans (compare ...

Natural Selection - ANS A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits. Evidence of Evolution - ANS 1) Fossil Record 2) Embryology 3) Homologous Structures 4) DNA 5) Vestigial Structures
