Tape the last ACT practice questions on the next 3 blank pages (pgs 74-76 ish???)
Take about 15 minutes (5 for each prompt) to read and answer the questions. The sub will go over the answers.
(the answers for Passage V are B, H, C, J. A. J)
On pages 79-81 ( or the next 3 blank pages after the ACT practice stuff) answer the following questions. If you need to research the answers, do that. All answers should be complete thoughts (bullet points are fine as long as I can tell what you are talking about -- you should have a minimum of 3 ideas or bullet points per question)
- What are the advantages of asexual reproduction?
- What are the advantages of sexual reproduction?
- What are some different types of asexual reproduction? Give examples of organisms that perform asexual reproduction.
- What attributes (characteristics) are used to pair homologous chromosomes (how do you put together chromosomes to make a karyotype)?
- Why is it necessary for gametes (sex cells) to be haploid?
- How many chromosomes does a normal human skin cell have? How many chromosomes does a normal human sperm cell have? (for the question you can have 2 bullet points)
- How can you tell the difference between a karyotype of a normal human male and a normal human female? (one bullet point is sufficient here)
- Describe at least one situation in which it would be beneficial for a person to have his or her karyotype examined
- If you observed a human chromosome spread under the microscope and discovered that the sample contains 47 chromosomes, what would you conclude from this observations?
- What disorder would you assign to a human karyotype that contains three chromosomes in the 21st location?
