Final Review




AP Bio Spring 2014 Study guide


Objectives for AP Bio Spring 2014 Final Resources
This is by no means an exhaustive list.  Remember that places like Khan Academy and Education Portal are great resources. 
You can also search adaptive curriculum for lessons that I haven’t assigned. Use these to help in your studying for the final.  :)

Question

Content/Learning Target

I can…
Resources
1)        
refine scientific models and questions about the effect of complex biotic and abiotic interactions on all biological systems, from cells and organisms to populations, communities and ecosystems

2)        
analyze data to identify possible patterns and relationships between a biotic or abiotic factor and a biological system (cells, organisms, populations, communities or ecosystems)
3)        
predict how a change in genotype, when expressed as a phenotype, provides a variation that can be subject to natural selection.
4)        
describe representations and models that illustrate how genetic information is copied for transmission between generations
5)        
use visual representations to analyze situations or solve problems qualitatively to illustrate how interactions among living systems and with their environment result in the movement of matter and energy.
6)        
explain how biological systems use free energy based on empirical data that all organisms require constant energy input to maintain organization, to grow and to reproduce.
7)        
construct explanations of the influence of environmental factors on the phenotype of an organism.
8)        
create representations and models to describe immune responses
9)        
construct an explanation of the multiple processes that increase variation within a population.
10)    
connect how organisms use negative feedback to maintain their internal environments.
11)    
explain the connection between the sequence and the subcomponents of a biological polymer and its properties (specifically DNA structure)
12)    
describe the connection between the regulation of gene expression and observed differences between individuals in a population.
13)    
explain the connection between genetic variations in organisms and phenotypic variations in populations.
14)    
describe representations and models illustrating how genetic information is translated into polypeptides
15)    
predict how a change in a specific DNA or RNA sequence can result in changes in gene expression.
16)    
construct a representation that connects the process of meiosis to the passage of traits from parent to offspring (i.e. pedigree & Punnett Squares)
17)    
predict the effects of a change in the community’s populations on the community.
