Example problem: Wisconsin Fast Plants have two very distinctive visible traits (stems and leaves). Each plant will either have a purple (P) or green (p) stem and also have either have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. Suppose that we cross a dihybrid heterozygous plant with another plant that is homozygous purple stem and heterozygous for the leaf trait. Make a Punnett square to figure out the expected ratios for the phenotypes of the offspring.
Suppose a class observed that there were 234 plants that were purple stem/green leaves and 42 that were purple stem/yellow leaves. Does this provide good evidence against the predicted phenotype ratio?
Using your understanding of genetics, what might be one reason why the class got these results?

Example problem: In 1990 the East Kentwood High School student body was made up of 90% right handed students. Being right handed (R) is the dominant trait over being left handed (r).
a. What is p and q for the population of 1990 East Kentwood High School students. Interpret each.
b. Find the percent of the student body in 1990 that are homozygous right handed, heterozygous right handed, and left handed.
Fast forward to today at East Kentwood. Mr. V. took a random sample of 100 East Kentwood students today and found that 18 of them were left handed.
c. What are the new p and q values? How do they compare with the values from 1990?
There are many reasons why this apparent change could have occurred. Come up with an East Kentwood example for each:

Q10, Dilution, pH Review
- The rate of metabolism of a certain animal at 10ºC, is 27 μlO 2 g-1h-1. What are its rates of metabolism at 20, 30, and 40 ºC if the Q 10 is 2? If it is 2.5?

- The following table reports the rates of metabolism of a species at a series of ambient temperatures: Temperature (ºC) (^) Rate of Metabolism (μlO 2 g-1h-1.) 15 10 20 13. 30 21.
(a) Calculate the Q 10 values for each temperature interval. (10/( T (^2) −−−− T 1))
Q 10 ={ R 2 / R 1 }
(b) Within which temperature interval (15-20 or 20-30) is the rate of metabolism most sensitive to temperature change?
(c) For this species, would a Q 10 calculated for 15 to 30 ºC be as useful as several for smaller temperature ranges? Calculate that Q 10 as part of your answer.
- The reaction rate for a certain process at 14 ºC is 15 units / time. (a) What would be the reaction rate at 20 ºC if the Q 10 = 1?
Surviving C 1 V 1 = C 2 V 2
C 1 = original concentration of the solution, before it gets watered down or diluted.
C 2 = final concentration of the solution, after dilution.
V 1 = volume about to be diluted
V 2 = final volume after dilution
By drawing the "X" through the equal sign and filling in the formula with letters of a size permitted by the borders of the "X", it reminds you that :
for all dilution problems C 1 > C2, and V 1 < V 2.
It makes sense because to dilute, we add water. This increases the volume but lowers concentration.
Examples by Type :
- Easiest: Joe has a 2 g/L solution. He dilutes it and creates 3 L of a 1 g/L solution.
How much of the original solution did he dilute?
- A little trickier: Joe has 20 L of a 2 g/L solution. He diluted it, and created 3 L of a 1 g/L solution.
How did he make such a solution?
Surface Area to Volume and Water Potential Review
- Cells throughout the world have variable shapes and sizes. Because of this, and because structure is designed around function, certain shapes are optimal for certain processes.
Analyze the following cells (units not to scale), and determine the following…
Cell 1 (spherical) where the radius is 3 mm Cell 2 (flat and rectangular) where the height is 0.5mm, length is 4mm, width is 2mm
A) What is the surface area to volume ratio of both cells?
How to calculate Surface Area?
Surface area How to calculate Volume?
Volume Surface area to Volume Ratio Cell 1
Cell 2
B) Conclusion: Compare the ratios and explain why one cell would be more efficient than another.
C) Are you made of lots of large cells or lots of small cells? Why? How do you actually grow in height?
- Water potential in potato cells was determined in the following manner. The initial masses of six groups of potato cores were measured. The potato cores were placed in sucrose solutions of various molarities. The masses of the cores were measured again after 24 hours. Percent changes in mass were calculated. The results are shown below.
Graph these data to the right of the table. From your graph, label where the cells were hypotonic and the solution was hypertonic, and vice versa. Determine the apparent molar concentration (osmolarity) of the potato core cells.

Biochemical free energies are usually given as standard free energies of hydrolysis. For example, the hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate:
has ∆G° = -4.0 kcal/mole (-16.5 kJ/mole) under standard conditions. Therefore, the opposite reaction, the phosphorylation of glucose, is unfavored. However, the phosphorylation of glucose occurs readily in the cell, catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase:
The other half of the phosphorylation reaction is the hydrolysis of ATP to yield ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi):
under standard conditions has ∆G° = -7.3 kcal/mole (-31 kJ/mole).
The standard free energy change of the reaction can be determined by adding the two free energies of reaction:
Note that the reaction as written is unfavored; its free energy change is positive. Another way of stating this is that the reaction is endergonic, that is, the reaction involves a gain of free energy.
For the exergonic hydrolysis of ATP (the reaction involves a loss of free energy):
The two reactions are summed:
Primary Productivity –
The rate at which organic materials are stored
6CO 2 + 6H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2
One can determine Primary Productivity by measuring dissolved oxygen in the water (as it is hard to measure it in the air) Conversion Factors: To convert: ppm O 2 = mg O 2 /L mg O 2 /L x 0.698 = ml O 2 /L ml O 2 /L x 0.536 = mg carbon fixed/L

Two researchers, one at Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska and the other at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, are studying populations of aquatic arthropods in freshwater pools during July. The researcher in Alaska determines an average of 280 arthropods per m^3 of water in the pools she is studying. The researcher in Costa Rica determines an average of 125 arthropods per m^3 at his study site. In terms of the current lab, how would you account for this difference?
You are the Water Quality Director for Derry County. In this capacity, you are asked to review reports of two fish kills in the county. Both involve artificial ponds with surface areas of approximately 0.8 hectares and maximum depths of 7 meters. Tests performed immediately after the fish kills detected no pesticides or other poisons. The dead fish showed no signs of fungal attacks or other disease. Case A involves a pond stocked with bass and used for recreational fishing. Meteorological records show that the kill occurred after 4 weeks of hot weather in which daytime temperatures reached 35–40°C. Case B involves a pond stocked with bluegill and used to irrigate pastureland. This kill occurred in the spring, before the heat wave and 9 days after a heavy rain. The file for Case B contains a photo showing dead fish floating in the pond. You also notice what appear to be mats of decaying algae floating on the surface of the water. A call to the farmer reveals that he applied ammonium nitrate to the pastureland the week before the rain. State your judgment as to the probable causes of these fish kills, and describe the chain of events that led to each.
