Was it the one where the egg divides? Was it something to do with having equal amount of chromosomes in each daughter cell? I remember another alternative being that each cell remains the same size after splitting… Damn, that was probably the right answer.
I actually screwed up in the beginning, with the leaf picture. Transports water and photosynthetic material around the leaf. I put the large circular structure.
Hi, I took the international version but I realize it was exactly the same as the US one. Does anyone remember that question about lysosomes? Where one or more enzymes didn’t work, I choose the option that said it would become surrounded by things because I thought substrate would build up around it and not get broken down. What did everyone else say?
@AGoodFloridian I’m pretty sure its the one you picked for the cleavage question. Since it said each daughter gets half the genetic material, which is only true for meiosis, not mitosis.
That one was tricky in my opinion. There was some underlying information you had to know, but I ended up going with the lysosomes not being able to absorb molecules. To be specific, it said that the lysosome contains hydrophilic enzymes, and then asks what would occur if a defect arose. The other alternatives included that it would swell due to intake of macromolecules, it would consume cellular material…
I know w that they’re responsible for taking in and processing cellular waste products but no alternative even mentioned that. Grrr
@AGoodFloridian I had the same though process but I thought the macromolecules WERE the wastes because I know lysosomes digest worn out or damaged cell components like proteins which are macromolecules. But we’ll see, either of us could be right.
I’ll tell ya’, it’s annoying when that ambiguity occurs because, unless there’s some complex reason, wouldn’t both be correct? I could definitely see the lysosome being engorged with macromolecules but at the same time, it loses its hydrophilic enzymes. I found it odd that they specified those, so it lead me to the conclusion that the lysosome wouldn’t draw in certain molecules as efficiently. But now that I look back, the macromolecule one seems more… Appropriate.
and that question about restriction sites in the M section, does anyone remember that? I just wrote down the three lengths that they already gave us in the question but I don’t know, it seemed too easy…
