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%) 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%) 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%)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 the 14 days of worst infection. Regis Health Services did not prescribe antibiotics to treat this outbreak and tried to help students by treatment students to lessen the effects of the symptoms. It is assumed that each infected Table 1. Flu cases per day. day cases 1 1 2 1 3 2 4 4 5 8 6 18 7 36 8 40 9 42 10 43 11 43 12 15 13 10 14 4 person harbors approximately the same number of viruses. Therefore, the number of cases approximates the viral populations size. (a.) On the provided axes sketch a graph using the data in Table 1 that shows the change in the Regis dormitory viral population size over all 14 days. Label the axes on the graph. (4%) (b.) Under the graph indicate the type of population growth exhibited from day 1 until day 11. (2%) (c.) Briefly (in a sentence) explain in terms of population growth what happened after day 11. Which pop. growth variable changed? (2%) (d.) Would prescription of antibiotics by Regis Health Services have helped shorten the length of infection by the virus or lessened the spread of the virus? Briefly explain why or why not. (2%) 5. Explain the life cycle of a member of Phylum Bryophyta. Include all life cycle stages and indicate their ploidy. Also indicate all cellular processes that occur. Which life cycle generation is dominant? (Feel free but do not feel obliged to use labeled illustrations for your answer.)
