prompts and multiple-choice, fill-in, and true-false questions. Short-answer
essay prompts will make up most of the exam. The number of prompts will depend
on how many chapters we cover. For example, Exam I will cover Ch. 01 – Ch. 05,
meaning there will be five (5) short-answer essay prompts, each worth 10
points, totaling 50 points. Exams are worth 80 points in total, leaving 30
points for the other question types. You will have 40 minutes to complete each
short-answer prompt.
Five short answer questions from the topics:
1. MITOSIS is associated with sexual production and MEIOSIS is associated with sexual production . explain the importance of sexual reproduction in a term of variation and diversity. Bdelloid rotifer are unique in they only reproduce asexually. Yet they have more genetic variation than non-bdelloid rotifers that reproduce sexually. Explain how this possible. 2 explain the importance of signals transduction and pathways in terms of regulation, amplification specificity, and efficiency, for example, how tightly regulated are signals pathways and why? 3 describe the steps in pro METAPHASe, METAPhase and ANAPHASe in terms of Kinetochore micro tubules and non- kinetochore microtubules.

If a hypothetical human male has one green eye, and one blue eye ,which of the two is likely explaination? is there any possibility that there is hypothetical human male’s eye-color difference is due to the other condition? How so? 5) a man with POLYDACTUYLE (extra five fingers and toes) woman without POLYDACTYLY. The first child does not have POLYDECTYLY what does this tells you about the man genotype if POLYDACTYLY is dominant explain why most people do not have six fingers and two provide a genetic response not a cosmetic response.
