Please read the following paragraph and answer the following question(s).
Amanda’s parents realized that her body was not developing properly about the time she was 12 years old. She was
shorter than most of her friends and was not going through changes normally associated with female puberty. They took
her to a doctor who initially diagnosed Amanda with Turner Syndrome because of her physical features. He ordered a
karyotype that confirmed his diagnosis. Amanda was born with only one X chromosome. Although there is no specific
cure, the doctor was able to treat her and correct some of the problems associated with the condition. For example, she
received growth hormone to improve her growth and estrogen to help her develop the physical changes of puberty.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).
Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have
become extinct. Scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution,
and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant
amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines
suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for
example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction.
33) When most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining
populations are widely separated, we expect to see that ______.
33)
34) Some biologists urge the collection of the few remaining individuals of some of the most
threatened amphibian species, to preserve them if they become extinct in the wild. If such
captive breeding programs could produce thousands of individuals from just a few of the
remaining survivors, the species will still be threatened because of ______.
34)
35) Which of the following is not a property of life?
35)
36) ______ is the source of the oxygen gas released by a photosystem.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).
An abundant and continual supply of ATP is necessary for all living cells. Active muscle cells require an extraordinary
amount of ATP to permit strenuous exercise for prolonged periods. Toxins, reduced blood flow, and a compromised
respiratory system can interfere with the transport of oxygen to active cells. A runner in a marathon faces multiple
obstacles to continue to produce sufficient ATP to remain competitive.
43) When oxygen delivery becomes insufficient to support a runner’s aerobic metabolism, cells
switch to an emergency mode in which ______.
43)

Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).
Birds are a widespread group of animals, with approximately 10,000 different species found throughout the world today.
Because they are relatively easy to find and so visually appealing, they have been studied more thoroughly than many
other groups of animals. They are also valuable biological indicators, because many species live in different habitats
during different times of the year and cover long migration routes. According to the World Conservation Union,
extinction threatens over 1,200 bird species today and at least 179 are critically endangered. Some of the most endangered
species include the Tahiti monarch, with only 10 pairs remaining, and the Bali starling, with only 12 wild individuals left.
In Hawaii, the last captive po’ouli died in 2005 and the last two known to be alive in the wild have not been seen in many
months. Common birds are also disappearing. In North America, red-winged blackbird populations declined by at least 1
percent each year between 1980 and 1999. These examples can serve as a warning. Habitat destruction, degradation, and
fragmentation is the most serious problem and affects 86% of threatened birds. Unsustainable forestry and intensifying
agriculture exacerbate this problem of habitat loss. All of this shows that conservation of habitats is critical if many of the
world’s bird species are going to be saved from extinction in the near future.
44) Approximately what percent of bird species are threatened with extinction today?
44)
45) Examine the evolutionary tree below. This tree tells us that the amnion is found in ______.
45)
13
46) Which one of the following can create new alleles?
46)
47) If a cell’s lysosomes burst, the cell would ______.
47)
Please read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).
While working with cultured mouse cells, a researcher unknowingly treated the cells with a mutagen that causes the
deletion or insertion of individual nucleotides in DNA. Subsequently, she isolated and cultured a single cell from this
group. She noticed that the progeny of this cell was not producing a certain protein and that this affected their survival.
48) The mutation would be most harmful to the cells if it resulted in ______.
48)
49) Which of the following is a characteristic seen in prophase I that does not occur in prophase II?
49)
Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).
The earliest cells detectable in fossils were different from the cells in animals, plants, fungi, and protists living today.
These first prokaryotic cells gave rise to eukaryotic cells approximately 1.7 billion years ago. The structure of eukaryotic
cells today suggest how they might have evolved from their prokaryotic ancestors. Scientists examining mitochondria
and chloroplasts now think that these organelles were probably free-living prokaryotes before becoming a part of
eukaryotic cells long ago.
50) What evidence suggests that mitochondria might have evolved before chloroplasts?
chloroplasts.
