55. Why would a scientist choose to use DNA analysis rather than isozyme analysis when investigating genetic variations?
(A) Smaller sample size can be used for DNA analysis.
(B) Repeat sampling over a period of time is possible.
(C) Non-injurious to the organism.
(D) Non-lethal.
(E) All of the choices are correct.

3. Physiological ecologists study (A) nutrient cycling and energy flow through ecosystems. (B) exchanges of materials, energy, and organisms between communities. (C) physiological and anatomical mechanisms by which organisms deal with variation in their hysical and chemical environment. (D) physiological and anatomical mechanisms by which organisms deal with variation in their social environment. (E) None of the choices are correct.

4. In many species, the females can reproduce by the process of parthenogenesis. Then why do males persist in those species? (A) defense. (B) to increase the number of offspring produced. (C) to assist in rearing of the offspring. (D) to decrease the chance of infertility. (E) to ensure genetic diversity.

5. A group of subpopulations living in spatially isolated patches connected by exchange of individuals among patches is called a (A) micropopulation. (B) megapopulation. (C) isopopulation. (D) allopopulation. (E) metapopulation.

6. The acidity of the stomach contents triggers the small intestine to secrete a hormone known as (A) histones. (B) secretin. (C) TSH. (D) pepsin. (E) cholecystokinin, or CCK.

7. In which blood vessel is glucose concentration likely to vary the most? (A) coronary arteries. (B) abdominal artery. (C) hepatic vein, which drains the liver. (D) hepatic portal vessel. (E) pulmonary veins.

8. Which of the following is an example of countercurrent exchange? (A) The flow of water across the gills of a fish and that of blood within those gills. (B) The flow of air within the primary bronchi of a human and that of blood within the pulmonary veins. (C) The flow of blood in the dorsal vessel of an insect and that of air within its tracheae. (D) The flow of fluid out of the arterial end of a capillary and that of fluid back into the venous end of the same capillary. (E) The flow of water across the skin of a frog and that of blood within the ventricle of its heart. 

 9. What advantage does internal fertilization have compared with external fertilization? (A) Usually a smaller number of genes are present, which promotes genetic stability. (B) Usually many offspring are produced, ensuring survival of the species. (C) The time and energy devoted to reproduction is decreased. (D) The increased survival rate results in rapid population increases. (E) The smaller number of offspring often receive a greater amount of parental protection.

10. Which function associated with muscle would be most directly affected by low levels of calcium? (A) The muscle fiber resting membrane potential. (B) Muscle contraction. (C) The initiation of an action potential. (D) ATP hydrolysis. (E) Muscle fatigue.

11. Phylogenetic trees are best described as (A) true and inerrant statements about evolutionary relationships. (B) the most accurate representations possible of genetic relationships among taxa. (C) theories of evolution. (D) hypothetical portrayals of evolutionary relationships. (E) the closest things to absolute certainty that modern systematics can produce.

12. Estimates of the number of species present in a community (A) are not affected by the sampling effort devoted to estimation. (B) usually require only limited effort by ecologists. (C) can usually be made more easily by sampling only a single indicator taxon. (D) are all that is necessary to calculate species diversity. (E) must, to be useful, be based on standardized sampling techniques.
