Materials are provided to students to build models of a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell, and a virus. The materials and the structures they represent are listed in the table shown.Â
Which material will students use in all three models?

Which of these describes a difference between viruses and cells?
Viruses can be transmitted through air, water, food, insect bites, and direct skin contact. Once a virus gains entry to the body, it invades a host cell in order to-
A model of the genetic control of coat color in rabbits is shown.
Which Punnett square represents a cross that would produce albino offspring?

A genetic cross involving two unlinked genes is represented:
AaGG x aaGg
Which genotype is NOT possible in the offspring produced by the cross?
The inheritance pattern for an autosomal dominant trait is shown in the pedigree. Shaded symbols represent individuals that express the dominant trait.
Based on this pedigree, what are the most likely genotypes of individuals I-1 and I-2?

Water, sugar, and other important nutrients need to be transported from one part of a plant to another. Which statement correctly describes the interaction of the root and shoot systems during nutrient transport?
A flower that has both male and female reproductive structures is shown.Â
Which statement best describes an interaction that will allow a flowering plant to reproduce by self-pollination?

Cytokinins are a class of plant hormones that help regulate growth by promoting cell division. Cytokinins are produced mainly in meristematic tissue, where most plant growth occurs. Which system carries cytokinins produced in the roots to the rest of the plant?
Researchers have observed striped hyenas and gray wolves hunting together in certain areas. One hypothesis suggests that changing hunting behavior aids both species in obtaining better and more resources. In this hypothesis the hyena's benefit because the wolves chase and take down large animals, such as goats, that the hyenas usually cannot catch alone. The wolves benefit from hyenas using their jaw strength to crack open large bones of prey to access additional nutrients from the bone marrow.
Which table best identifies the ecological relationships among the gray wolf, hyena, and goats?Â
The amount of energy the producers in this energy pyramid provide the primary consumers is 54,000 joules. From this amount, 540 joules are provided to the tertiary consumers.
Based on this model, how much of the energy was provided to secondary consumers?

The food web shows the flow of energy through a sagebrush-steppe ecosystem.
Which of these organisms are in a trophic level that receives a larger percentage of the energy captured by the producers than the percentage received at the bats' trophic level?

A partial Texas food web is shown.
The populations of which organisms will most likely increase as a result of a disease that suddenly reduced the population of Texas horned lizards?

Some relationships between different organisms are shown in the table.
Which table correctly identifies each type of interaction described?

Four common relationships between organisms are listed in the box.
Which statements best describe these relationships?

Which diagram describes how crossing-over contributes to genetic variety during meiosis?
A cellular process is shown.
Which of these is the most likely result of the process shown in the diagram?

In the early 1900s, Thomas Hunt Morgan was among the first scientists to contribute to the chromosome theory of heredity. Morgan's investigations into heredity in fruit flies led him to propose that the event represented in the diagram sometimes occurs.
Which statement about the event represented in the diagram is valid?
