Bio 101 Study Guide
STUDY GUIDE
FINAL EXAM
BIO 101 FALL 2014
Review Material (Similar to previous guides) Know what (in a basic sense) a cell is
What is cell theory?
Know what eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells are
Know the basic structures possessed by these cells
Know their similarities and differences
Know the similarities and difference between the two types (animal and plant)
Know the function of some of the basic structures discussed
Know what the Endosymbiosis Theory is
Now you need to know the specific of the plasma membrane, its finer structure and significance
Be able to describe the structure and function of the animal and plant cell structures and organelles in class Know the following organelles and cell structures: Cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton
What is an allele?
Be able to define the following: Genotype, Phenotype, Transcription, Translation
Know the steps involved in transcription and translation
What are mutations? How do they lead to evolutionary changes?
Mutations that affect genes affect the phenotype What experiment was used to show "evolution in action"? Fruit flies and starvation resistance What is natural selection? How does evolution via natural selection occur? Three criteria: Variation, heritability, increase in reproductive success What are the other ways evolution proceeds? Genetic drift and Gene flow Genetic drift is a shift in allele frequency that does not lead to increased fitness. It affects just a single population and occurs by chance (it is random) Genetic drift can involve bottlenecks and founder effects (what are these?) Gene flow involves alleles carried by individuals migrating from populations to populations, leading to changes to both populations
What are the five primary lines of evidence for evolution? Fossil record, biogeography, comparative anatomy,
