Question 1

White rabbit with black rabbit photo WP32787

In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. As a rabbit breeder, you crossed a BB male with a Bb female, please complete the Punnett square for the possible genotypes of the offspring. Then complete, the percent chance for the phenotypes of the offspring.

***Please follow all Punnett square rules to complete this question.

Question 2
Which of the following refers to a population reaching a size that can no longer be supported by available resources in the surrounding environment?

a
survivorship
b
environmental resistance
c
carrying capacity
d
exponential growth
Question 3
Density-independent factors are limiting factors whose effects are

a
confined to the habitat of the population
b
determined by the degree of competition for resources
c
not influenced by population densities
d
determined by the difference between birthrate and population density
Question 4
A graph representing a population growth curve is shown below.

What does B represent on this growth curve?

a
linear growth within a population
b
a population's carrying capacity
c
the lag phase of a population's growth
d
exponential growth within a population
Question 5
An undisturbed deer population grows until its carrying capacity is reached.

Which of the graphs below BEST resembles this deer population?



a
A
b
B
c
C
d
D
Question 6
A species of rabbit lives in a meadow where grass plants are readily available during summer months. The rabbits do not stray far from the meadow because the plants supply food and protection from predators. One summer, a fire destroys the plants in the meadow.

As a result of the absence of plants in the meadow, the rabbit population will probably?

a
increase reproduction.
b
decrease in size.
c
increase and flourish.
d
switch to a different type of food.
Question 7
In this food chain, the spiders are —



a
secondary consumers
b
autotrophs
c
producers
d
primary consumers
Question 8
Which of the following is NOT true about matter in the biosphere?

a
Biogeochemical cycles transform and reuse molecules.
b
Matter is recycled in the biosphere.
c
Water and nutrients pass between organisms and the environment.
d
The total amount of matter decreases over time.
Question 9

DD
b
female without dimples
c
Dd
d
male with dimples
Question 10
Select ALL characteristics and information that CAN be obtained from a karyotype?
a
location of centromeres
b
biological gender
c
number of sex chromosomes
d
single gene inherited disease
e
number of chromosomes
f

Question 1

To complete the Punnett square for the cross of a homozygous dominant black rabbit (BB) with a heterozygous black rabbit (Bb), we will set up the square as follows:

   | B | B |
-------------
B | BB | BB |
-------------
b | Bb | Bb |

Offspring genotypes:

  • BB
  • BB
  • Bb
  • Bb

Phenotype percentages:

  • % Black (BB or Bb): 100%
  • % White (bb): 0%

Question 2

Which of the following refers to a population reaching a size that can no longer be supported by available resources in the surrounding environment? c: carrying capacity


Question 3

Density-independent factors are limiting factors whose effects are c: not influenced by population densities


Question 4

What does B represent on this growth curve? b: a population's carrying capacity


Question 5

Which of the graphs below BEST resembles this deer population? (You would select the graph that shows a "S-curve" where the population grows logistically, reaching a plateau as it approaches carrying capacity) (You would need to choose the correct graph label from the image provided)


Question 6

As a result of the absence of plants in the meadow, the rabbit population will probably? b: decrease in size.


Question 7

In this food chain, the spiders are — a: secondary consumers


Question 8

Which of the following is NOT true about matter in the biosphere? d: The total amount of matter decreases over time.


Question 9

(For this question, there seems to be missing context regarding what trait or alleles are being referred to)

  • a: DD
  • b: female without dimples
  • c: Dd
  • d: male with dimples

(You would select the relevant answer based on the context given, which is not provided here.)


Question 10

Select ALL characteristics and information that CAN be obtained from a karyotype?

  • a: location of centromeres
  • b: biological gender
  • c: number of sex chromosomes
  • e: number of chromosomes
  • f: number of autosomes

Note: A karyotype cannot provide information about specific single-gene inherited diseases, which is why option d is not included.
