What term correctly identifies the entire structure (including a., b., and c.) in 3 above.(2%) seed (mature ovule) DEFINITIONS.For the following BIOLOGICAL words or phrases define them as accurately and concisely as possible. (For indicated questions provide an example as well.) (20%, 4% each) 1. Endosymiotic theory of eukaryotic origins: A belief that natural phenomena have natural causes that can be revealed by empirical evidence. 2.

Fruit: Mature anthophyte ovary; The seeds (mature ovules) surrounded by carpel (ovary) tissue. 4. Natural selection (define AND provide an example that is not mentioned elsewhere in this test): Differential reproduction based on differences in inherited characteristics that interact with the environment. EXAMPLES: Drosophila bristle experiment; Drosophila wing experiment, etc. 5. Opportunistic pathogens (define AND provide an example that is not mentioned elsewhere in this test): Organisms that will only cause disease under certain conditions (or when introduced to certain areas of the body). EXAMPLES: E. coli causing urinary tract infections, etc.BIOLOGY 262, FALL 2003 - KEY EXAMINATION #3 (PART 2) Name Key Date FREE RESPONSE QUESTIONS/PROBLEMS.For the following, address each in as concise and lucid a manner as possible. Do NOT exceed the space provided. (50%) 1. Briefly explain what occurs during anthophyte sexual reproduction from pollination through the formation of a seed. (Feel free but do not feel obliged to use labeled drawings for or to supplement your answer.) (10%) endosperm (3n) pollen (1n) mitosis double fertilization sperm (1n) 2. People infected with drug resistant strains of the HIV virus were taken off of anti-HIV drugs for a period of time. Later, the patients were given the same anti-HIV drugs. These drugs then greatly reduced a newly drug-susceptible HIV population. Why did the virus population become susceptible to anti-HIV drugs after patients stopped taking the drugs? Provide an evolutionary explanation. (10%) Many resistance mutations have a reproductive costs causing their bearers to reproduce more slowly than non-resistant bacteria. Therefore, when drugs are absent being non-resistant is favored by natural selection. no anti-viral drugs Anti-viral drugs “wild type” virus Fast reproduction No reproduction resistant virus Slow reproduction Slow reproduction 3. You are eating a biscuit with honey on it. A friend of yours tells you that “Bees eat tree sperm and vomit it up to make honey.” You tell your friend “Honey isn’t vomited pollen. It’s vomited nectar.” Your response about nectar forming honey is correct. (a.) What is something else that is wrong with your friend's statement? Briefly explain in 1 sentence. (b.) Briefly, in 1 sentence, explain why flowers produce nectar to feed bees and other animals? (8%) (a.) Pollen are small male gametophytes, not sperm. (b.) Flowers reward animals with nectar to get them to transport their pollen more efficiently than wind. embryo sac (1n) zygote (2n) sporophyte (2n) egg (1n) sperm (1n)4. A flu virus that causes about 48-72 hours of gastrointestinal symptoms and a high fever infects a student in the Regis University dormitories. Once a student has recovered from infection by the virus the student is immune to re-infection by the virus. The number of cases in the Regis dormitories changed as outlined in Table 1 during
