Questions and Answers

1.

Directions (46–81): Record your answers in the space provided below each question. Base your answers to questions 46 and 47 on the information below and on your knowledge of science. The diagram below shows the results of a fruit fly activity that took place over a 20-day period. On day 1, four fruit flies were placed in a jar containing food and water. The jar had a cover that allowed enough air exchange for the fruit flies to survive, but would not allow them to escape or other flies to enter. The number of flies observed in the jar during the 20-day period is shown. 46 Identify the process responsible for the population change that occurred from day 1 to day 13. [1] ______________________________________________________
2.

47 State one possible reason why many of the fruit flies died from day 13 to day 20.
3.

Base your answers to questions 48 and 49 on the diagram below and on your knowledge of science. The diagram shows information about the sexual reproduction and development of rabbits. 48 Identify the process occurring at A. [1]
4.

49 Identify the process occurring at B. [1]
5.

Base your answers to questions 50 and 51 on the information about blood groups below. Human blood is classified into four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. An offspring’s blood type is determined by genes passed on from the offspring’s parents. Each parent gives an offspring one gene for blood type. The combination of the two genes determines the offspring’s blood type. There are three genes, A, B, and o, that are responsible for the four blood types. The table below shows how these three genes interact to produce the four blood types. 50 The Punnett square below shows the probability of blood types in the offspring of two parents. One parent’s blood type genes are AB and the other parent’s blood type genes are Ao. Based on this Punnett square, identify the expected percentage of offspring in each of the four blood types. [1]
6.

Complete the Punnett square below, which shows a cross between two parents whose genes for blood type are AB. [1]
