Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C
I've seen tests run as both, including a recent one at regionals that was primarily a test, but had three individual stations. Three teams would go up, each to a station, and they'd do a complete cycle through them, before returning to the desks to finish the test packet. It was a very interesting w...

Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C
THANK YOU to whoever uploaded the Wright State tests! On question 10 of station 2, "Would the protein produced from this mRNA sequence change if the A indicated by * is changed to U? If yes, indicate how," the answer key says, "Point mutation from Lys to Asn; all others remain unchan...

Re: Disease Detectives B/C
Now that we're in the middle of Invitational Season, I have one question: How much focus have you seen on Environmental Quality as a pose to the focus on Food-borne illness last year? Are there a lot of specific questions that have to do with with EQ, or are there more general questions about epide...

Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C
And I'm assuming the phenotype ratio would be expressed as DD:DR:RD:RR? Yep, exactly! Should we know a little about conservative and dispersive replication? I would study the Meselson–Stahl experiment and the hypotheses behind it. It's not that much information :) And other than knowing that conser...

Re: Forestry B/C
For division C, do we need to know how trees carry out specific functions such as the Calvin cycle? I have seen some general questions about xylem, phloem, basic tree anatomy... but I've never seen anything as detailed as the Calvin cycle being asked. Oh good. I was planning on learning the Calvin ...

Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C
Hi! I'm new to this event and I had a question about the genotype ratios: How do you know how to order the genotypes when writing the genotype ratio? Does it matter if you label everything? For example, if the genotype is 1 D/D: 2 D/H: 1 D/R: 4 H/H: 4 H/D: 1 R/D: 2 R/H: 1 R/R, would it matter if yo...

Re: Experimental Design B/C
Hey this is my first time competing in this competition do you guys have some tips you could give me? Practice. Practice. Practice. Practice. Practice some more. Practice. Practice. Practice even more. Seriously, though, this event is basically "practice makes perfect." Follow the rubric,...

Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C
At rida: No. You are only allowed what you can fit on the page itself. To answer PicturePerfect (at least on some cases): 1. At the B division level, the rules do not mention DNA fingerprints. They may be mentioned, but I wouldn't devote a tremendous amount of time to studying them. 2. For the Hardy...

Re: Heredity B/Designer Genes C
hi, this is my first time doing Heredity so I am kind of freaked out. Any help you could give me would be great but if you have anything about sex-linked traits.... PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! A sex-linked trait is located on the X or Y chromosome, as PicturePerfect said. This means that it will fol...
