June 2016 Living Environment Regents

The mixture inside the tube will turn dark blue because the starch indicator solution (Iodine) can diffuse through the dialysis tubing, but the starch cannot, so only inside the tube changes color.

I guess that would be right. Some of these questions were very vague. I put random unfavorable mutations.

For the q about make an inference abt the feathered dinosaur, what did you put?? I said turkeys evolved from it

kim is right i put tht too, kim what did u pu 99 percent or 95?

That should be right @Nerd007 . I should have said that for the twig one, but i said that some can just get to the larvae and find it faster

@Nerd007, given how vague the question was, that should be accepted.

I wrote that the dinasaour is a common ancestor to many of the current species

@kimclan1 did u put natural resource or state cooperation? That is the one question that could decide my grade between an A plus or A

I hate how vape all of the questions were. So i have no idea if they’ll accept my answers because i am not sure what the question really wanted for the answers

vague, i meant vague lol

@OBJisTheBest I said state cooperation since using natural resources would only make the matters worse (Ohio burning coal would be using a natural resource).
Also, for the dinosaur one you could have said that the dinosaur was the common ancestor or the birds evolved from the dinosaur.

I hope it was natural resource, the question was terribly written and everyone should get points back for that, but NYS would never do that

Wait for the starch indicator thing, I said no change occurred because the starch cannot diffuse outside the tube… right?

And for the DNA replication question I said it’s in preparation for mitosis only but I’m pretty sure I got that one wrong, what did you guys pick?

No the indicator diffused into the cell, but the starch was too big

I think @kimclan1 is right. While starch can’t diffuse out, the indicator can diffuse into the tube, turning it dark blue

It is in preparation for meiosis and mitosis (occurs during interphase}.

@Nerd007 it’s both meiosis and mitosis. In meiosis, it duplicates, but then divides twice

I thought it was natural resources because cooperation betweens states has nothing to do with biology and they are already cooperating what are ur thoughts on that?

How long does it usually take for your regents to be graded? Its like 3-4 school days for me.

@OBJisTheBest I said state cooperation because the natural resources being used only add to the problem. Although, state cooperation would not really help because its not like the states like Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois are actually doing anything that would cause more pollution to enter Pennsylvania; it just happens to be like that because of the wind I guess.

Alright so guys, What did you get for the question that was like “if 12% of a segment of DNA is made out of base A, what percentage is the base C?”
