Official Jan. 27 SAT Biology Thread

<p>No, lying down makes it easier since the blood in your legs doesn’t have to move against gravity to the same extent…right?</p>

<p>The sickle cell answer is that it codes for an improper protein…</p>

<p>Yes, if I remember correctly, sixth amino acid in hemoglobin.</p>

<p>The question refers to which will not help venous blood return to the heart… just stating for a braniac to come on and solve it…</p>

<p>FOr circulation of bloodflow (back to the heart),
voluntary muscle contractions and lying down are correct.
Moving your legs contract muscles and foster the flow.
I think there was better answer that prevented the flow…hmm.
(i forgot my answer!! noo)</p>

Might help…says laying down helps the flow. Skeletal muscle contractions is definitely correct. I put voluntary vein contractions, but I’m thinking it might be diaphragm contractions.</p>

<p>The one about the plasmid and whether or not the plasmid was passed to daughter cells depended if it had a centromere? Why was the centromere needed?</p>

<p>Oh yeah i chose diaphgram contraction.
i dont think diagraph is related to the blood circulation.</p>

<p>sup ryan berry</p>

<p>Which is true of all ecosystem? Consumers have less energy to take than autotrophs? Something like that?</p>

<p>answer your fone backfire</p>

<p>I put something about decomposers being important…</p>

<p>Let’s keep this thread active</p>

<p>The location of reproductive organs in the grasshopper:
All the way in the back?</p>

<p>What happened to the A and a frequencies in the insects that could/could not metabolize the insecticide:
The A and a frequencies evened out?</p>

<p>Which can account for the difference in bristlecones and sawgrasses on the other slope? I. Nutrients in each soil type. II. Moisture held by each soil. III. Climate due to elevation.
I&II? Sawgrasses and Bristlecones grew at all elevations…</p>

<p>What is an advantage of asexual reproduction:
Mutations are not passed from generation to generation? The rest didn’t seem to make sense, though this doesn’t sound too right…</p>

<p>Which is true of all ecosystem? (can’t remember the exact wording)
Decomposers are an important part of the ecosystem.</p>

<p>Why is the centromere needed for the plasmid to be passed on?
Centromere allows formation of mitotic spindle?</p>

<p>i put consumers take in less energy than autotrophs also.
Damn, this test was messed up.
Lets see… For the Aa type questions what did you guys put? I didn’t have enough time to read the question properly so I screwed it all up.</p>

<p>Also, inverse mutations? What exactly is that.</p>

<p>the one with the organism that developed the same pattern as the other pattern- was it mimicryor adaptive radiation?</p>

<p>Did any of you guys put that fetus have less variations with oxygen content than the adults did.</p>

<p>Purple flower was due to incomplete dominance right?</p>

<p>Ovules dont go to other ovules question- i think that was the answer.</p>

<p>Darwin didn’t use what in his experiments- to me it seemed that he used all of them so i said phylogeny.</p>

<p>Inverse mutations are where numbers next to each other are switched and go are backwards…</p>

<p>“the one with the organism that developed the same pattern as the other pattern”- it was mimicry</p>

<p>“Did any of you guys put that fetus have less variations with oxygen content than the adults did.” - fetuses had a higher saturation with lower air pressure</p>

<p>“Purple flower was due to incomplete dominance right?” - that’s right</p>

<p>“Ovules dont go to other ovules question”- that’s correct…</p>

<p>“Darwin didn’t use what in his experiments- to me it seemed that he used all of them so i said phylogeny.” I thought it was mendel, and i said he didn’t use true-breds for cross breeding?</p>

<p>The node graph- phylum?</p>

<p>How phylums are organized- cell anatomy (first choice)</p>

<p>That pattern question, was that the one like orchid self-pollinating with help of only one species of bird? If that is, then i chose “coevolution thing”.
Purple flower is incompletely comindant, you’re right.
Ovules thing, i chose the same answer.
Darwin, I think i chose other answer…</p>

<p>The graph seemed to have 7 nodes, so 7 levels? Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species</p>

<p>Since it was the first and highest node, I put Kingdom…</p>

<p>I didnt take E, but kingdom is the highest class.</p>

<p>And for darwin, i chose the same aswer as Ryanberry did.</p>
