Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 1 Introduction: Themes in the Study of Life This introductory chapter explores the basic themes and concepts of biology, with emphasis on the core theme of evolution. It also introduces students to the thinking of scientists. Questions are therefore general; however, an effort has been made to include some from each skill level. As in the rest of this test bank, questions that feature art or those for which several questions follow upon some data or a scenario are placed together at the end of the chapter. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) A localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called a A) biosystem. B) community. C) population. D) ecosystem. E) family. Answer: C Topic: Concept 1.1

Gregor Mendel Studied traits that occur in distinct forms. Developed true-breeding varieties When bred amongst themselves these plants produced offspring identical to the parent for that trait. Used mathematical analysis in his studies. Definitions Gametes: reproductive cells produced by sexually reproducing organisms. Two types: male gametes = sperm In plants: contained in pollen Female gametes = eggs In plants: contained in ovules which mature to seeds when fertilized Ovules contained in carpels Fertilization Fertilization: fusion of egg and sperm Self-fertilized: fusion of sperm and egg from same plant Cross fertilized: fusion of egg and sperm from two different plants Produced hybrids F1: first generation F2: second generation Mendel?s Model

Heritability appears in many texts in school. Heritability statistics rose from the work of Galton. It is a group statistic that makes no sense to apply to an individual. Heritability is the extent to which differences in the appearance of a trait across several people can be accounted for by differences in their genes. Heritability does not reflect the extent to which traits will be passed down from parent to offspring. The estimates usually come from twin studies. If IQ is very heritable, it means that individuals with the same genes have similar IQs and individuals with different genes have relatively different IQs. Problems arise when what IQ doesn?t mean is considered.

Biology: Ch. 20 Study Guide Explain how advances in recombinant DNA technology have helped scientists study the eukaryotic genome. In short: Recombinant DNA has allowed the creation of the biotechnology industry. Longer explanation: Recombinant DNA is DNA in which nucleotide sequences from two different sources ? often different species ? are combined in vitro into the same DNA molecule. Once created by scientists, it is introduced into cultured cells that replicate the DNA and express its genes, creating a desired protein product. This has allowed genetic engineering (the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes), which has created the biotech industry. Explain the goals of the Human Genome Project.
