BIOL1 General Biology Lab Kerstin Musolf Spring 2018 Study Guide for Bio 1 Cumulative Practical 1. Scientific Method o Independent, dependent, control variables (versus control treatment!) o Form hypothesis o Interpret figures 2. Microscope o Parts and functions o Differences between types of microscopes o How to use a microscope 3. Cell Cycle o Identify phases of mitosis and meiosis and know the difference between each 4. C. elegans experiment o Identify male and hermaphrodite C. elegans worms 5. Chi square (interpret data, know how to read the Chi square table and get the p-value, interpret the p-value) 6. Genetics o Monohybrid and dihybrid crosses o Sex-linked vs Mendelian traits 7. Protists o Identify major groups and their key characteristics (algae, protozoa, (slime mold) – know general features & a few examples, i.e. from slides / notebook drawing)  Mode of nutrition, cellular organization (colonial/multi/uni), locomotion, important structures (flagella/cilia/etc)  Eukaryotes vs prokaryotes, autotroph vs heterotroph, etc o Algae versus Protozoa 8. Fungi o Identify major groups (Acomycota, Basidiomycota, Zygomycota etc) o Fungus key characteristics 9. Plants o Four groups: bryophytes, seedless vascular, gymnosperm, angiosperm  Identify organisms belonging to each and main characteristics of each (dominant generation, seed, dispersal, tissues, etc.) o Flower structure and function o Alternation of generations o Monocot vs Eudicot 10. Osmosis and diffusion o Types of solutions (iso, hyper, hypo) and effects on cells o Diffusion and osmosis experiments 11. Enzymes o Activation energy o Temperature and pH effects o Enzyme experiments 12. Animal dissections o Identify key organs/body parts and their functions (e.g. gonads = reproduction) o Evolutionary innovations of each group (symmetry, protostome/deuterostome, segmentation, presence and number of tissues, coelom, etc.) o Substructures of heart, eye, and their functions o Phyla of studied/dissected organisms (e.g. hydra: Cnidaria)...
