1. Biomes - Match the biome with its description.Potential Matches: 1 : Coniferous forest 2 : Temperate forest 3 : Tundra 4 : Tropical rainforest 5 : Grassland 6 : Wetland 7 : Estuary 8 : Desert Answer : Caribou, musk ox and lemmings are common, along with permafrost, mosses and lichens. : May be hot or cold, but always very dry. : Long snowy winters and short summers allow for cone-bearing evergreen trees to flourish. : Spectacular displays of color in the fall occur before deciduous trees drop their leaves. : Plentiful rainfall and warm year round temperatures produce a habitat home to the greatest diversity of plants and animals. : Mostly treeless expanse known for large herds of grazing mammals. : Home to migrating waterfowl, this type of biome is important in reducing flooding and improving water quality. : Transition area between a river and an ocean with salinity ranging from nearly that of freshwater to that of the oceans. 2 Genetics - Match the terms with the most suitable description.
(Points : 16) Potential Matches: 1 : recessive 2 : sex-linked 3 : pleiotropy 4 : carrier 5 : dominant 6 : phenotype 7 : polygenic 8 : genotype Answer : An allele that can be expressed by an individual that is heterozygous. : The genetic make-up of an individual. : The control of more than one phenotypic character by a single gene. : The visible physical expression of an individual's genetic make-up. : An allele that can only be expressed when an individual is homozygous. : A trait controlled by more than just a single pair of alleles. : A trait controlled by a gene located on either the X or Y chromosomes. : An individual carrying only one allele of a recessively inherited disorder. 3. Evolution - Match the terms with the most suitable description.
(Points : 16) Potential Matches: 1 : hybrid sterility 2 : habitat isolation 3 : hybrid inviability 4 : geographic isolation 5 : mechanical isolation 6 : gamete mortality 7 : temporal isolation 8 : behavioral isolation Answer : Because of a single mutation in a developmental gene, two closely related species of wasps have a slightly different anatomy of their sex organs making interbreeding impossible. : Two species of snakes are morphologically very similar but breed during different seasons. : Two similar species of treehoppers live and feed on two separate species of trees. : Males of two species of birds use different mating dances to attract their mates. : Due to a geographic barrier, a small portion of a population remains isolated and its gene pool diverges from that of the original population. : Sperm from a male of one species dies in the reproductive tract of the female of a different species before fertilization can occur : Mules are a cross between a donkey and a horse; they are viable, healthy animals, but they cannot reproduce. : A cross between two species of salamanders yields offspring, but they do not survive long enough to reproduce 1.

Explanation / Answer
a
1.) Coniferous forest : Long snowy winters and short summers allow for cone-bearing evergreen trees to flourish.
2.) Temperate forest : : Spectacular displays of color in the fall occur before deciduous trees drop their leaves.
3.) Tundra : Caribou, musk ox and lemmings are common, along with permafrost, mosses and lichens.
4.) Tropical rainforest: Plentiful rainfall and warm year round temperatures produce a habitat home to the greatest diversity of plants and animals.
5.) Grassland : Mostly treeless expanse known for large herds of grazing mammals.
6.) wetland : Home to migrating waterfowl, this type of biome is important in reducing flooding and improving water quality.
7.) Estuary : Transition area between a river and an ocean with salinity ranging from nearly that of freshwater to that of the oceans.
8.) Desert : May be hot or cold, but always very dry.
