1667090815Battle of Long Island (1776)In August 1776, Howe defeated the Americans here and forced their retreat to Manhattan Island. There, Howe outflanked Washington's troops and nearly trapped them. Outgunned and outmaneuvered the Continental Army retreated.0
1667090816Battle of Saratoga (1777)Howe's slow campaign against Philadelphia contributed to the defeat of Burgoyne's army here. Burgoyne's troops had at first advanced very quickly, overwhelming the American forces at Fort Ticonderoga in early July and driving south toward the Hudson River.1
1667090817Valley ForgeFears reached their peak during the Winter of 1777. While Howe's forces lived comfortably in Philadelphia, Washington's army retreated 20 miles to here where 12,000 soldiers and hundreds of camp followers suffered horribly.2
1667090818Philipsburg ProclamationIn 1779 this declared that any slave that deserted a rebel master would receive protection, freedom and land from Great Britain. This led as much as 30,000 African Americans to take refuge behind British line.3
1667090819Battle of Yorktown (1781)In this battle Washington using clever military strategy surrounded Cornwallis's 9,500 man army and outnumbered their troops 2 to 1 on land. They also had cut off Cornwallis's army from reinforcement or retreat by sea. In a hopeless position Cornwallis surrendered here in October 1781.4
1667090820Currency TaxRampant inflation America had meant that every paper dollar held for a week lost value, imposing this hidden tax, on those who accepted paper currency.5
1667090821Treaty of Paris 1783In this treaty signed in September 1783, Great Britain formally recognized American Independence and relinguished its claim to lands south of the Great Lakes and East of the Mississippi River.6
1667090822Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776Created a unicameral(one-house) legislature with complete power; there was no governor to exercise a veto. Other provisions mandated a system of elementary education and protected citizens from imprisonment for debt. It caused an uproar among Patriots for its pure democaracy.7
1667090823Mixed GovernmentWhen Adams published Thoughts on Government (1776), he adapted the British Whig Theory which shared the power among the monarch, the House of Lords and the Commons to a republican society.8
1667090824Articles of ConfederationThis form of government were approved by the Continental Congress in November 1777. This provided for a loose union in which each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence.9
1667090825Northwest Ordinance of 1787Created the territories that would eventually become the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. It also prohibited slavery and earmarked funds from lands sales for the support of schools.10
1667090826Shay's RebellionAs a revolt against taxes imposed by a unresponsive government, this resembled American resistance to the British Stamp Act. The rebels linked themselves to the Patriot movement b placing pine twigs in their hats just like the Continental Troops had done. Eventually the rebellion was dispersed and marked as a failure but it did bring about change.11
1667090827Virginia PlanThe plan that was against revising the Articles of Confederation, and supported the formation of a powerful national government devised by James Madison.12
1667090828New Jersey PlanSmall states were behind this plan which gave the confederation the power to raise revenue, control commerce, and make binding requisitions on the states. But, it preserved the states ability to control their own laws and guaranteed their equality.13
1667090829FederalistsA group of nationalists that supported a federal union; a loose, decentralized system and obscuring their commitment to a strong national government14
1667090830Anti-FederalistsThe opponents of the Constitution, had diverse backgrounds and motives. Some like governor George Clinton of New York feared that state governments would lose power.15
1667090831Federalist No. 10In this letter Madison challenged the view that republican governments only worked on a small political scale and argued that a larger state would better protect republican liberty.16
1667090832General George WashingtonCommander of the new Continental Army, he commanded a fighting force of 18,000 poorly trained and inexperienced troops. His military strategy is credited with the victory of battles during the revolutionary war.17
1667090833General William HoweA commander of British forced he was commanded by Lord North to capture New York City at the beginning of the war. This was to be used as a demonstration of British power.18
1667090834General Horatio GatesA general for the American forces, he was able to slow the progress of Burgoyne's troops by falling trees in their path and raiding British supply lines to Canada. He later blocked Burgoyne's army in a series of skirmishes with the help of American militiamen.19
1667090835Robert MorrisA Philadelphia merchant who worked as the government's chief treasury official. Despite his efforts the finances of the Continental Congress collapsed and he had to rely on funds requisitioned from the states, but the states paid it late or not at all.20
1667090836Baron von SteubenIn their darkest hour he was abel to raise the readiness of the continental army. He instituted a strict drill system and encouraged officers to become more professional. Thanks to him, the smaller force that emerged from Valley Forge was much tougher and more disiplined.21
1667090837Judith Sargent MurrayIn her work On the Equality of Sexes (1779) she argued that men and women had the same mental capacity and that women had superior imaginations. She conceded that most women were inferior to men in judgement and reasoning only from a lack of training. She was also an advocate for women's education.22
1667090838James MadisonPart of the younger generation of politicians and patriots that arose. He insisted on increasing national authority. He created the Virginia plan to create a powerful national government. He was determined to fashion political institutions run by men of higher character. He was also the chief architect of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.23

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 14 Mendel and the Gene Idea Flashcards

The questions in Chapter 14 are mostly at the Application/Analysis skill level. The material in the chapter invites students to apply Mendel's laws, and by doing so encourages problem solving. Because of the human-related Concept 14.4, a fair number of Synthesis/Evaluation questions are included as well. Very little of the chapter lends itself to Knowledge/Comprehension questions only. In addition, to help students make maximum use of information presented about one or more specific traits, a greater number of questions than usual is grouped together to explore brief scenarios or figures.

1007592452Humanoids on the newly explored planet Brin (in a hypothetical galaxy in ~50 years from the present) have a gene structure similar to our own, but many very different plants and animals. 70) One species of a small birdlike animal has an extremely variable tail length, which is a highly polymorphic trait. Geneticists have come to realize that there are eight separate genes for tail length per haploid genome, with each gene having two alleles. One allele for each gene (a, b, and so on) increases the length by 1 cm, whereas the other allele (a2, b2, and so on) increases it by 0.5 cm. One bird was analyzed and found to have the following genotype: a1a1b2b2c1c2d1d2e2e2f1f2g1g1h1h2 What is the length of its tail? A) 6 cm B) 8 cm C) 12 cm D) 24 cm E) 36 cmC69
1007592453One species of green plant, with frondlike leaves, a spine-coated stem, and purple cup-shaped flowers, is found to be self-pollinating. Which of the following is true of this species? A) The species must be haploid. B) Its reproduction is asexual. C) All members of the species have the same genotype. D) Some of the seeds would have true-breeding traits. E) All of its dominant traits are most frequent.B70
1007592454If the environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, atmosphere, sunlight, and so on, are mostly Earthlike, which of the following do you expect of its types of leaves, stems, and flowers? A) The genes for them would have originated on Earth. B) Genes for these traits would have a common ancestor with those from Earth. C) Such plants could be safely eaten by humans. D) Genotypes for these traits would be identical to Earth plants with the same traits. E) Phenotypes would be selected for or against by these environmental factors.E71
1007592455Marfan syndrome in humans is caused by an abnormality of the connective tissue protein fibrillin. Patients are usually very tall and thin, with long spindly fingers, curvature of the spine, sometimes weakened arterial walls, and sometimes ocular problems, such as lens dislocation. Which of the following would you conclude about Marfan syndrome from this information? A) It is recessive. B) It is dominant. C) It has a late age of onset (> 60). D) It is pleiotropic.
