(B) The gene pool in a population remains fixed over time.

(D) Individuals cannot evolve, but populations can.

8. The endocrine system maintains homeostasis using many feedback
mechanisms. Which of the following is an example of positive feedback?

(A) Infant suckling causes a mother’s brain to release oxytocin, which in
turn stimulates milk production.
(B) An enzyme is allosterically inhibited by the product of the reaction it
catalyzes.
(C) When ATP is abundant the rate of glycolysis decreases.
(D) When blood sugar levels decrease to normal after a meal, insulin is no longer secreted.

9. A scientist carries out a cross between two guinea pigs, both of which have black coats. Black hair coat is dominant over white hair coat. Three quarters of the offspring have black coats, and one quarter have white coats. The genotypes of the parents were most likely
(A) bb × bb
(B) Bb × Bb
(C) Bb × bb

10. A large island is devastated by a volcanic eruption. Most of the horses die except for the heaviest males and heaviest females of the group. They survive, reproduce, and perpetuate the population. If weight is a highlyheritable trait, which graph represents the change in population before and after the eruption?
(A) A higher mean weight compared with their parents
(B) A lower mean weight compared with their parents
(C) The same mean weight as members of the original population
(D) A higher mean weight compared with members of the original population

11. All of the following play a role in morphogenesis EXCEPT
(A) apoptosis
(B) homeotic genes
(C) operons
(D) inductive effects

(A) oxygen
(B) hydrogen
(C) ammonia
(D) methane
Questions 13–14 refer to the following passage.
The digestive system in humans can be divided into two parts: the alimentary
canal and the accessory organs. The canal is where the food actually passes
during its transition into waste. The accessory organs are any organs that aid in
the digestion by supplying the organs in the alimentary canal with digestive
hormones and enzymes.

13. The small intestine is the main site of absorption. It can accomplish it so efficiently because of villi and microvilli that sculpt the membrane into hair-like projections. They likely aid in reabsorption by
(A) increasing the surface area of the small intestine
(B) decreasing the surface area of the small intestine
(C) making the small intestine more hydrophilic
(D) making the small intestine more hydrophobic

14. The pancreas is a major accessory organ in the digestive system. What is its likely function?
(A) Moistening the food as it passes through
(B) Removing the excess water from the food waste
(C) Making enzymes that breakdown macromolecules
(D) Preventing the food from entering the small intestine after it leaves the stomach

15. In animal cells, which of the following represents the most likely pathway that a secretory protein takes as it is synthesized in a cell?
(A) Plasma membrane–Golgi apparatus–ribosome–secretory vesicle–rough ER
(B) Ribosome–Golgi apparatus–rough ER–secretory vesicle–plasma membrane
(C) Plasma membrane–Golgi apparatus–ribosome–secretory vesicle–rough ER
(D) Ribosome–rough ER–Golgi apparatus–secretory vesicle–plasma membrane

16. All of the following statements are correct regarding alleles EXCEPT
(A) alleles are alternative forms of the same gene
(B) alleles are found on corresponding loci of homologous chromosomes
(C) a gene can have more than two alleles
(D) an individual with two identical alleles is said to be heterozygous with respect to that gene

17. Once specific genes, such as the gene coding for ampicillin, have been incorporated into a plasmid, the plasmid may be cloned by
(A) inserting it into a virus to generate multiple copies
(B) treating it with a restriction enzyme in order to cut the molecule into small pieces
(C) inserting it into a suitable bacterium in order to produce multiple copies
(D) running it on a gel electrophoresis in order to determine the size of the gene of interest

18. Although mutations occur at a regular and predictable rate, which of the following statements is the LEAST likely reason the frequency of mutation often appears to be low?
(A) Some mutations produce alleles that are recessive and may not be expressed.
(B) Some undesirable phenotypic traits may be prevented from reproducing.
(C) Some mutations cause such drastic phenotypic changes that they are soon removed from the gene pool.
(D) The predictable rate of mutation results in ongoing variability in a gene pool.

19. A scientist wants to test the effect of temperature on seed germination. Which of the following should be part of the experimental design?
(A) Use temperature as the dependent variable and alter the germination times
(B) Use temperature as the independent variable and measure the rate of germination
(C) Use temperature as the controlled variable and keep everything identical between groups
(D) Use the variable natural outside temperature as a control group
