<p>How do you think the test went...blah blah blah...say what you want. There was section that caught me off guard, but besides that--I think I did well. Knocking on wood...</p>
<p>i wanted to take the molec one but accidentally took the eco instead. I was better prepared for molec. Did you take mol or eco? What did you put for the last few problems on the zones- littoral and stuff? I didn't get that part.</p>
<p>I took molecular, which was easy/reasonable for the most part; knocking on wood. Um, I'm just mad at getting a few wrong in the five questions on heredity, and maybe messing up on the neuron diagram.</p>
<br>
<blockquote> <p>molecular for me</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>I thought the neuron diagram was ok, but you didn't really need to know biology to get that right... just looking at the image told you what a ganglion was.</p>
<p>i guess on the DDT q, with higher trophic levels, and im pretty sure that is right.</p>
<p>i thought the mendelian genetics in the first questions were hard... but pretty sure i am right.</p>
<p>what about the cystic fibrosis question? i said there was a 25% chance of a kid having it.</p>
<p>as for the sex linked alleles for white eyed flies, I said "(II)" because there was a 50%, 50%, and all... i think i put that.</p>
<p>sex linkled alleles for flies, wait weren't all of the males infected. So, wasn't a 100 percent males infected, and a 100 females not infected. Cystic Fibrosus question? Was that with the mother who had it, and married a guy who didn't have it? Refresh my memory.</p>
<p>it was the one where there two kids had it or sometihng, dunno, i forgot lol.</p>
<p>i forgot mendelian genetics, so i am unsure how to do the punnett square crosses.</p>
<p>Wasn't there a question about an ailment--like, the mother didn't have it, even though her father did. I think they said it was sex linked also, so then when she married some guy who was normal, they asked which children would be infected. I don't remember, 0%? Well I think so, because it means it has to be on the Y chromosome, so yeah.</p>
<p>damn, i gues i missed both of those... i took a guess. those were the two i was unsure of</p>
<p>Yeah, I honestly didn't expect so many genetic questions. I thought they were going to go more into organismal biology--like endocrine, excretory, and what not. My friend's kaplan book says that the test is "30% organismal," and definately felt the test was like "52.7435%" genetics-ish.</p>
<p>yea... ill PM you my score on the 23rd... i wanna see how our scores compare.</p>
<p>I really hope it's easy to get above a 700.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have something to say?</p>
<p>dudes... the curve is gonna be so low for this test bc that test was so easy</p>
<p>the only thing i can see ppl getting stuchk on is the histamines' allergy symptoms and DDT</p>
<p>no way dude, those two questions were stupid.</p>
<p>and the practice test was easy in the all real sat IIs... and the curve is pretty nice.</p>
<p>Okay. For the Fibrosis question, the answer was 25%. This is because they give you the information that neither parent has it, but 2 of their children have it. From this information you can infer that the genotypes are BOTH Ff. When you do your Punnent Square...</p>
<p>------F------f</p>
<p>F-----FF----Ff</p>
<p>f-----FF-----ff <---recessive traits only show up with homozygous genotypes</p>
<p>Therefore there is a 25% chance that they will have another child with the disease.</p>
<p>For the fruit flies question... I put 100% red eyes for both sexes. The reason I put this was because there were 2 P.S. that you had to do. One where the female was XNXN and one where the female was XNXn. </p>
<p>XNXN x XnY came out to heterozygous red for all the females, and red eyes for all the males.
XNXn x XnY came out to 25% heterozygous red females, 25% white females, 25% white-eyed males and 25% red-eyed males.</p>
<p>If you looked through the answer choices and saw which ones applied to both of these crosses, it was only III. </p>
<p>I tried it in the way where it could have been any way, like if it worked for either, and all of them worked. There wasn't a choice for that. So I did it that way, and 100% red was the only one that made sense (You couldn't have anything else for the first cross, and for the second cross you could have had anything).</p>
<p>Does that make ANY sense? Is it just in my head?</p>
<p>i took it in 9th grade and that curve was awful
(and in my opinion, this one was easier)</p>
<p>Oh no, I got 25% for an answer. I'm reffering to another question though, and I can't remember what it was about. Yeah, I definately agree for your fruit fly one. I thought this test kind of emphasized genetics a lot.</p>
<p>w00000000t</p>
<p>lucky guess :D</p>
<p>It definately did.</p>
<p>Thank god, too. My teacher might as well be a genetics teacher.</p>
<p>I think the part of the test that I had the most trouble with was the one about the development of the flowering plant... ***!!</p>
<p>I knew it was a flowering plant... I guessed out of the air that it was like cancer growth... but I think I got at least one of the other 2 wrong. If not both.</p>
<p>I omitted the one about vibrations in the ear. My teacher never taught the ear and the eye... I self-taught myself the eye and I learned the ear in my Sign Language class in ninth grade. But I didn't remember anything about that. What was it?</p>
<h2>Hey, doesn't anyone recall the neuron question where all you had to do was interpret the chart?</h2>
<p>What was the antibiotic used in the experiment?</p>
