USABO Open Exam coming up

<p>Alright, It was kinda hard. I was stuck on the hormone thing too. And there was stuff about PCO2 or whatever. When will we know if we made it and what score we got. Are the answers posted somewhere.</p>

<p>Are we allowed to discuss answers or what?</p>

<p>"and by the way i havent taken the exam yet - CEE is allowing a lot of east coast schools an extension because of our heinous snow"</p>

<p>Probably best to not discuss it yet.</p>

<p>The northeast teachers still had to mail the exams on friday! That's what y teacher told me</p>

<p>I was stucked on the dizziness recessive disorder one/genetic counselor</p>

<p>I put the counselor was wrong. Some people were saying it was mutation, though.</p>

<p>I put the counselor was wrong too. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Bump ............</p>

<p>the elegans avoding the garlic was eg of imprinting right?</p>

<p>/.........</p>

<p>Avoiding garlic is associative conditioning.</p>

<p>I also put the counselor was wrong.</p>

<p>ferredoxin is not in the thylakoid membrane right?</p>

<p>......?.....</p>

<p>ferredoxin is an electron carrier so I think it should be in the membrane. Ipicked one of the things involved in the Calvin cycle. I forgot which one. There was a lot of psychology stuff in there.</p>

<p>Yeah, I also put the Calvin Cycle because it doesn't take place in the Thylakoid membrane. Yeah, I agree with many of you; the hormone questions were really hard. Do you guys remember the answer to that probability question involving the four genes? Right after the exam, I had a sudden realization, and think I might have miscalculated it. I remember it was like (.5)(.25)(.25)(x) and I can't remember what x was for the "D" gene! Thanks.</p>

<p>What was the hormone question?</p>

<p>I put 0.42 for Hardy Weingberg question, if thats what you are talking about.</p>

<p>I think Potential is asking about the question that asked what is the percentage of getting that ABCD combo given the parents' genotypes.</p>

<p>Not sure if answers should be discussed yet, so...</p>

<p>did you all put the counselor was wrong</p>

<p>Kryptonsa36, I think we can talk about it as the testing has officially ended. All the exams were supposed to be mailed on Friday to be considered; so even if someone is taking it, it is not valid anymore. The site will also be posting the answers soon.</p>
