FINAL REVIEW GUIDE

You may have a 3 * 5 card, HANDWRITTEN, front and back for written portion ONLY

Cell Cycle and Genetics  Have an understanding of Meiosis vs mitosis  Haploid vs. Diploid  Genetics, heredity, characteristic vs trait  Mendel  How Mendel controlled the pea plant reproduction  Self vs Cross pollination  P, F1, F2, and so on  True-breeding or homozygous and hybrid or heterozygous  Dominant and recessive traits  Monohybrid and Dihybrid crosses and probability  Incomplete, Codominance (blood typing, roan cattle, etc), and Sex Linked Traits  DNA Structure and replication  Protein synthesis (Transcription vs Translation)  Reading a pedigree

Evolution  Basic Evolution notes on Darwin,  4 key points to Natural Selection  Homologous vs analogous  Vestigial examples  What is phylogeny and cladograms

Classification  Know who was responsible for our current classification system  Who is Linnaeus, Aristotle  What is Taxonomy and what language do we use  What is a taxa and how do we separate organisms from Domain to species

Bacteria/Viruses/Protists  Shapes and arrangements of Bacteria  Reproduction of bacteria  Gram staining  Virus facts  Lytic/Lysogenic cycle (short and quick vs long and drawn out virus cycles…HIV & Herpes are some examples)  Living or nonliving  Diagram and label parts of bacteriophage  Protists (Plant-like vs Animal like)  Examples of protists  Why are they in this kingdom  Locomotion

Animal Kingdom

 Examples of Porifera, Cnidarians, Platyhelmithes, & Nematoda  How do they reproduce?  Symmetry  Worms are more complex than Porifera and Cnidarians  Explain what are the dorsal, ventral, anterior and posterior parts of an organism.  A planarian belongs to a group of flatworms called Platyhelminthes.  An Ascaris is a Roundworm that is a parasite.  What is a pseudocoelom vs a coelom  # of openings each phylum has

 What is an example of Annelida?  Know the difference and an example of Hirudinea, Polychaeta, Oligochaeta  Worms have bilateral symmetry  Flatworms do not have a body cavity, but roundworms and segmented worms do.  What are the segments for in an earthworm?  How do they feed, move, reproduce?  Know the worm structures from the dissection

 Give the three classes of Mollusks  Give examples of the above three groups  The mantle produces what?  Gastropods are univalves that have one or no shell  Bivalves are two shelled mollusks  Cephalopod is the advanced mollusk that has no shell or one shell. Its name means what?  Know examples of the above three

 Echinodermata means spiney skinned. They include what organisms?  They have radial symmetry, internal skeleton, and central disk.  Know the parts of the starfish. This will be part of the Lab Practical  Know how water moves through the water vascular system

 Arthropods are jointed-legged animals  They are the most numerous group of animals on earth!  Know examples of each: Insecta, Arachnida, Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Crustacea, Merostomata  Exoskeleton-  Arachnids have 8 legs, 4 other appendages, 2 main body parts  Crustaceans have two main body parts, antennae, gills to breath (usually), and 5 pairs of appendages  Insects have three main body parts, three pairs of walking legs, wings (usually), 1pr antennae  They use chemicals, sounds, and visuals to communicate.  Centipedes have a painful bite, one pair of legs per segment  Millipedes are harmless because they eat dead things and plants, and they have two pairs of legs per segment.

 Know the differences in the classes of chordates Know examples of each group.

Your test will be multiple choice, matching, labeling, etc….You will have a lab portion on the same day. Bring a PENCIL to the test. You will take the written portion and the lab portion and must remain quiet until everyone is finished. BRING A BOOK OR SOMETHING QUIET TO DO. THERE WILL NOT BE CARD PLAYING IN MY ROOM. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY PASSES GIVEN DURING THE EXAM. USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE EXAMS!

THE LAB PORTIONS

The lab portion will include specimen images, dissection images, microscope work, and anything that may be in your lab journal. You will be able to utilize YOUR lab journal on the exam. I will check the journals and you are not to have other people’s work photo copied into your journal. You will NOT be able to use the 3 * 5 card on this portion and you will not be able to use the lab journal on the written portion. Typically, the lab portion is about 20% of the test. Possible Lab Practical Topics- (not limited to these, but here’s a good idea)

--Plant vs Animal cells --Cell structures --Bacteria lab --Mitosis cells --Electrophoresis --Butterfly larva --Animal kingdom examples- any of the specimens put out ---Earthworm Dissection --Sea Star Dissection --Frog Dissection
