 In The Origin of Species, Darwin propounded two major hypotheses:

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. that organisms have descended, with modification, from common ancestors; and that the chief cause of modification is natural selection acting on hereditary variation.
  2. that organisms have descended, with modification, from separate ancestors; and that the chief cause of modification is natural selection acting on hereditary variation
  3. “facts” are in some cases simple, confirmed observations; in other cases, a “fact” is a hypothesis that has acquired so much supporting evidence that we act as if it is true.
  4. A body of ideas about the causes of evolution

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Biosynthesis of all N-linked oligosaccharides begins in the rough ER with a preformed branched oligosaccharide precursor Glc3Man9(GlcNAc)2, Which of the following statements is incorrect about these biosynthesis?
a) the oligosaccharide precursor is assembled on a membrane- attached anchor called dolichol phosphate
b) First sugar residue is attached to dolichol by a glycosidic bonds & the other
sugars are added by high-energy pyrophosphate
c) Two N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and five mannose residues are added one at a time to a dolichol phosphate on the lumen
d) Four mannose and three glucose  residue are added one to a dolichol phosphate on the luminal side

At the subcellular level, starch is stored in amyloplasts in the endosperm of cereals. Two enzymes responsible for initiating starch degradation are α- and β-amylase

a) α-Amylase hydrolyzes starch chains internally to produce oligosaccharides consisting of α(1,4)-linked glucose residues

b) β-Amylase degrades these oligosaccharides from the ends to produce maltose, a disaccharide

c) α-Amylase degrades these oligosaccharides from the ends to produce maltose, a disaccharide

d)  α-Amylase hydrolyzes starch chains internally to produce oligosaccharides consisting of  β(1,4)-linked glucose residues

e) β-Amylase also converts maltose to glucose

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You identify a previously unidentified plant species and decide to study its genetics. You establish true breeding strains for leaf shape (longer than wide vs equal length and width) and flower color (white vs. yellow). When you perform a dihybrid cross with these strains, you find that your results are very different than those predicted by a 9:3:3:1 ratio. You calculate a chi square and get a p value of less than 0.0001. Which of the following statements is most accurate based on this observation?
