For the Tube Worm question, it WASN’T because Females are genetically dominant right? The answer was that Females can choose which male for his release of sperm?
@SatBiology yea ur right it was so female choose
Thanks!
I have to admit, the long experiment passages were VERY tedious
@avu017 it said like during conjugation half the DNA was present and so they asked why scientists would use this? The answers were like so they could determine chromosome number, sex-linked genes, oh wait it would be Sex linked bcc conjugation is a form of reproduction! Ughhh
Just a question: Are sat scores curved for bio? Or is it just scored the way it is on the collegeboard website? For example, if generally people did badly, the number of right answers needed for a high score is less.
Felt like barrons over prepared me lol. I was expecting more questions on physiology and plants.
In retrospect, I think there was a lack of questions regarding organismal biology. (So much for “30% of the test” pffft)
I was really preparing to answer question regarding the human body. I recall there being one question about hormones, but nothing extensive. I was disappoint 
There was a healthy balance of ecology questions. Not enough of the “1/2/3/4” questions. A bit too many lab questions but that’s normal. Not enough cell replication questions(mitosis and meiosis), but a decent amount of protein synthesis stuff.
I guess it’s not too abnormal to study extensively on one topic and not have it show up at all on the test, huh?
Who else got a fuzzy feeling inside after seeing a question that could easily be answered with a simple Punnett square? Knowing the SAT, they’re there to let your guard down. Next thing you know, you’ll need to answer what proteins make up Schwann cells or why do muscle cells have multiple nuclei.
Speaking of which, there was one about, white and black tailed rats, right? Three generations, and final generation had 100 % Ab, right? Can’t remember too much.
@greysanatomy3113 which section was that
For the question regarding the 120 rats and how many rats were able to have a litter, was it like 80%
yea i got @SatBiology
Nooby one here, but just for peace of mind… There was one about some animal with a diploid number of 24. Some replication occurs, and they ask the new number… The bait was 48, right? I went with 24. Just seemed right.
Ooooh, how about that tree branch one?! It grows 2 feet above the ground, then the tree grows 4 feet. 6 feet was begging to be chosen. Something got into me and I chose 2. Do you think the answer could’ve been just 2+4? I’d be ultimate sad face if it’s so.
They also went on about how the tree trunk grows. Uniformly throughout the trunk? I know the that cells elongate but… The doubts, the doubts…
@AGoodFloridian I had something similar to that except it was with flower colors.
I totally forgot about the Hardy Weinberg equation and which represents which. Oh well… Hopefully my world history and literature scores are better than the Bio one LOL. I have a bad feeling.
@AGoodFloridian I choose 6 ft (seemed logical)and 24 because it was a somatic cell so mitosis
@AGoodFloridian oh i thought the question asked what happens if the branch was at 4 feet and grew 2 more feet?
@Ngzk07 for that one i got 4 percent
@Ngzk07 . I vaguely remember that one. (.8 + q)^2 = 1. q=.2 , q^2=.4 . Something like that. But I know how you feel. There was one about the interaction of ants crawling up a tree. The ants protect the tree from vines and whatever, but also feed off some sap. I’m thinking “Duh, mutualism!”
Nope. Nothing about that. Obscure words, that at least in my memory had nothing to do with the scenario. Gaah
@Brajia … Man, the nerve of these test makers hahaha. Make a sequence of super tricky, deep thought questions and then throw in a “wats 2 plus 4 dude?” You expect the unexpected, thinking there’s a trick.
NOPE, it’s six man!
What about the question with which part of the eye is universal for organisms? What was the answer?
