***December 2013 - Biology***

<p>Did you guys think the test was hard or easy? I took Biology-E.</p>

<p>@mountlover96</p>

<p>He wasn’t the first to study vegetables or whatever it said.</p>

<p>anyone know the curving standard/typical?</p>

<p>pretty sure the answer to the Mendel question was the answer choice with quantitative experiments. He wasn’t so concerned with sexual reproduction as much as he was with the actual genetics of peas.</p>

<p>@kerning he wasn’t the first to study vegetables but he was the first to study their reproduction I believe. I’m not 100% sure but if you look up Mendell, his peas experiment is what you’ll find a lot. It’s what he’s known for but I could be wrong</p>

<p>@Arcfrisbee I’m pretty sure it was nitrogen fixation and i believe it was the control for corn syrup</p>

<p>@mountlover96</p>

<p>I agree, that’s what he’s known for. But he simply wasn’t the first to study vegetable reproduction (I forgot the wording of that answer choice).</p>

<p>What is not included in the Phosphorus cycle?
Phosphorus (Phosphate?) is (isn’t?) readily available in ocean sediments? (not sure how this answer was worded)
or phosphate containing detergents?</p>

<p>yeah, i can’t decide between these two either, also on the M did any one get the question with gel electrophoresis and the 5’ end… i put it was impossible to tell</p>

<p>I said impossible to tell but I wasn’t sure</p>

<p>@Ijustkeeepswimin Thanks… does anyone else have any input on that 5’ gel electrophoresis question?</p>

<p>for the electrophoresis question i put that it was impossible to tell. Base pair length doesn’t tell you where it will be located on the dna.</p>

<p>Okay for those who are asking about the scoring. I checked the Official SAT Subject Test book for biology scoring…</p>

<p>You can get an overall score of 61 and still get a 700 and an overall of 69 and get a 750 which is like 8 mistakes.</p>

<p>guys was the plant evolution from water to land the waxy layer</p>

<p>i also remember struggling with this,do u remember the other choices</p>

<p>I put the waxy layer too</p>

<p>nooo i was stupidly debating btwn that and sexual reproduction and i put in sexual reproduction in the last 10 seconds</p>

<p>Yeah, waxy layer</p>

<p>@Sajidur4 why was the first one for the experiment questions touch?</p>

<p>I got light for that one if that was one of the options</p>
