Structure (100 marks):
Suggested topics to review:
Diversity
Classification and taxonomy (Kingdom, Phylum/Division, Class etc. and binomial system of nomenclature)
6 kingdoms—characteristics
characteristics of prokaryotes (Archaebacteria and Eubacteria) versus eukaryotes
features of nonvascular, spore producing vascular and seed producing vascular plants (bryophytes, pteridophytes-ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms)
major differences between protists, animals, fungi and plants (structures, obtaining energy, life cycle)
virus characteristics
Genetics
DNA structure
cell cycle (G1, S, G2, mitosis, cytokinesis)
mitosis and meiosis—purpose, phases, differences
phenotypic and genotypic ratios
Mendel’s Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment
know and apply terms used in genetics: gene, allele, chromosome, chromatids, DNA, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, homologous, phenotype, genotype, monohybrid cross, dihybrid cross, purebred, hybrid , F1 generation, F2 generation, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, sex linkage, etc.
blood types and their alleles (eg. Type O is ii; Type AB is IAIB, Type A is ______; Type B is ______
#’s and types of chromosomes in males/females, gametes/somatic cells
solving problems in genetics using proper format (Punnett square)
Evolution
explain what defines species
describe Darwin’s theory of evolution and the process of natural selection and be prepared to apply this theory in a situation (eg. emergence of antbacterial resistance, new traits in a population etc.)
explain natural selection, sexual selection, genetic drift, mutations, cumulative selection, migration / gene flow
evidence for evolution including paleontology (fossils), comparative anatomy, embryology, comparative biochemistry, geographical distribution
explain disruptive, stabilizing, directional, artificial selection
describe homologous and analogous structures, vestigial structures
convergent, coevolution and divergent evolution
reproductive isolating mechanisms
genetic drift, bottleneck effect, founder
describe how new species can develop-- allopatric and sympatric speciation
Animal Systems
pig dissection is fair game
macronutrients and micronutrients
- building blocks, where digested and absorbed
- role
calories and nutrients
structure/function of digestive system
know organs of digestive system and their function/role
gas exchange
breathing (inhalation/exhalation)
structures and functions of respiratory system
heart – flow of blood and parts
veins, arteries and capillaries (function, characteristics of each)
structures and function of the circulatory system
