Will Saunders 1 As of the twenty-first century, Europe?s geography, history, and cultural diversity have affected the world in many different ways. Examples of these ways are: the effects of Roman Catholicism, Greek and Roman civilizations, and the Mediterranean Sea. The majority of Europe is Roman Catholic. Other religions exist in the region, for example, Protestant. These religions, including Roman Catholicism, have spread from Europe, thus changing the cultures of many regions. Historically, Greek and Roman civilizations have influenced the world by conflict, invention, and conquering. The Mediterranean Sea greatly affects regions among the world. Together, these are just a few of the subjects that Europe contains, that affect the world.

Chapter 14 #5 A black guinea pig crossed with an albino guinea pig produces 12 black offspring. When the albino is crossed with a second black one, 7 blacks and 5 albinos are obtained. What is the best explanation for this genetic situation? Write genotypes for the parents, gametes, and offspring Answer Albino (b) is a recessive trait; black (B) is dominant. First cross: parents BB ? bb; gametes B and b; offspring all Bb (black coat). Second cross: parents bb ? Bb; gametes 1/2 B and 1/2 b (heterozygous parent) and b; offspring 1/2 Bb and 1/2 bb #6

Genetics Problems 1. A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black, and 8 are white. What is the simplest explanation for the inheritance of these colors in chickens? What offspring would you predict from the mating of a gray rooster and a black hen? 2. In some plants, a true-breeding, red-flowered strain gives all pink flowers when crossed with a white-flowered strain: RR (red) x rr (white) ---> Rr (pink). If flower position (axial or terminal) is inherited as it is in peas what will be the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes of the generation resulting from the following cross: axial-red (true-breeding) x terminal-white? What will be the ratios in the F2 generation?

Chapter 51: Animal Behavior Overview 1. How is behavior defined? ?A behavior is the nervous system?s response to a stimulus and is carried out by the muscular or the hormonal system ?Animal behavior is based on physiological systems and processes Concept 51.1 Discrete sensory inputs can stimulate both simple and complex behaviors 2. What is ethology? ?Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior, particularly in natural environments 3. What is the difference between proximate and ultimate causation? ?Proximate causation, or the ?how? explains or focuses on: ?Environmental stimuli triggering a behavior, and ?Genetic, physiological, and anatomical mechanisms underlying a behavior ?Ultimate causation, or ?why? explains or focuses on the:

Chapter 14 Mendel and the Gene Idea Overview: Drawing from the Deck of Genes What genetic principles account for the passing of traits from parents to offspring? The ?blending? hypothesis is the idea that genetic material from the two parents blends together (like blue and yellow paint blend to make green) The ?particulate? hypothesis is the idea that parents pass on discrete heritable units (genes) Mendel documented a particulate mechanism through his experiments with garden peas Concept 14.1: Mendel used the scientific approach to identify two laws of inheritance Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity by breeding garden peas in carefully planned experiments Mendel?s Experimental, Quantitative Approach Advantages of pea plants for genetic study:

Florio 26 Nov. 2012 Jespersen, Hyslop, & Brady Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure VSEPR Theory Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Model: 1. e- pairs repel each other 2. e- pairs position themselves in 3D to minimize repulsion Molecules have well defined shapes based on their electronic structure. Molecular Structure: Shapes of molecules The shapes of molecules are derived from 5 different geometric structures that are classified by number of electron domains contained around the central atom. Two types of electron domains: Bonding domains (e- pairs in bonds) Nonbonding domains (e- pairs associated with a single atom)

Chemistry 1210: Introduction to General Chemistry Dr. Gina M. Florio 15 Nov. 2012 Jespersen, Brady, Hyslop Chapter 9 Chemical Bonding: General Concepts Ionic Bonds Ch. 9.2 Ionic bonds are the attraction between positive and negative ions in an ionic compound. e.g. NaCl An electron is transferred from the metal (Na) to the nonmetal (Cl): Ionic compounds form when metals and nonmetals react and they are held together by ionic bonds. Compounds (ionic and molecular) are formed due to a decrease (lowering) of the potential energy of system. Net energy change associated with the electron transfer reaction. So, why does NaCl (s) form at all? 2 Lattice Energy of Ionic Compounds Ch. 9.2 The energy needed to produce separated gaseous ions from one mole of the solid is the lattice energy:

Chemistry 1210: Introduction to General Chemistry Dr. Gina M. Florio 05 November 2012 Jespersen, Brady & Hyslop Chapter 8 The Quantum Mechanical Atom Quantum Mechanics Ch. 8.1 The physics that describes objects with wave-particle duality is called quantum mechanics or quantum theory. In the late 1800?s, scientists discovered that electrons acted like tiny charged particles in some experiments and waves in others. Quantum mechanics accurately describes the structure and reactivity of atoms and molecules. Electromagnetic Radiation Ch. 8.1 Energy can be transferred as heat or as light. Electromagnetic radiation can be carried energy through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
