SHORT ANSWER
1. ANS:
The common name is regional. The same species can be referred to by a different common name (for
example, cougar and mountain lion). The species name is the same everywhere, however. This increases the
ability for scientists to communicate.
PTS: 2
LOC: B3.1
2. ANS:
Answers may vary; for example:
TOP: 1.1
MSC: A
•
biological species concept — No, they cannot interbreed naturally.
•
morphological species concept — Yes, they look the same.
PTS: 2
LOC: B3.1

3. ANS:
Eukaryotic
• internal membranes
• organelles
• large in size
• nucleus bounded by a membrane
• compose plants, fungi, animals, and protists
Prokaryotic
• no internal membranes
• no organelles
• small in size

4. ANS:
Answers may vary; for example, any three of the following:
MSC: K/U
•
Viruses cannot live independently outside of cells, they are dependent on their host cell for survival and
reproduction..
•
Outside a cell, viruses are dormant.
•
Viruses have genetic material and reproduce, but some scientists do not consider viruses to be living
organisms.
•
Viruses have no cytoplasm, membrane-bound organelles, or cell membranes.
•
Viruses replicate by the lytic or lysogenic cycle rather than reproduce by cell division.
•
Viruses have a protein coat and a nucleic acid.
PTS: 3
LOC: B3.2
5. ANS:
• Both: methods of viral replication
TOP: 2.1
MSC: C
•
Lytic: immediate insertion into host and replication leading to lysis
•
Lysogenic: delayed replication due to integration with host genome
PTS: 3
6. ANS:
