1) flukes are divided into monogenea and digenea. monogenea have a posterior holdfast
with hooks, clamps, and suckers; digenea have suckers but never hooks and clamps.
monogenea have only one host in the life cycle, and usually live on gills or skin of fish
and amphibians; digenea have at least two hosts and often three or more, and are named
because they have two reproductive states in their life cycle (an adult and
intramolluscan phase). from what you now know, the blood fluke schistosoma would

a. an endoparasite and monogenean.
b. an endoparasite and digenean.
c. an ectoparasite and digenean.
d. an ectoparasite and monogenean.

e. a diploid zygote and a triploid endosperm.

c. ventricle – gill capillaries – systemic capillaries – atrium – sinus venosus
d. ventricle – pulmonary capillaries – atrium – aorta -systemic capillaries
9) a derived trait shared only by angiosperms and gymnosperms is
a. vascular tissue.
b. fruit production.
c. the production of seeds.
d. protection of the embryo.
10) which description best explains the difference between orientation and migration.
a. orientation by birds can be achieved by using the sun or stars in order to determine
the direction they should be flying. navigation is the ability of the birds to change their
direction in response to environmental clues.
b. orientation is the ability of the birds to change their direction in response to
environmental clues. navigation by birds can be achieved by using the sun or stars in
order to determine the direction they should be flying.
c. orientation by birds can be achieved by using the sun or stars in order to determine
the speed they should be flying. navigation is the ability of the birds to change their
direction in response to social clues.
d. orientation by birds can be achieved by using the sun or stars in order to determine
the direction they should be flying. navigation is the ability of the birds to change their
direction in response to predator and prey abundance.
e. orientation by birds can be achieved by using the earth’s magnetic fieldin order to
determine the direction they should be flying. navigation is the ability of the birds to
change their direction in response to environmental clues.
11) the jones family has a plan to encourage good behavior in their children. when a
child completes daily chores, that child receives a gold star. the earning of fourteen gold
stars allows the child to choose between a visit to the movie theatre or the park. this is
an example of
a. imprinting.
b. operant conditioning.
c. insight learning.
d. classical conditioning.
e. polyanthrus.
12) which of the following associations of reproductive strategies and their descriptions
are correct?
a. oviparous – egg is deposited in external environment
b. ovoviviparous – produce eggs but retain them inside the female body until hatching
occurs
c. viviparous – the embryo develops inside the body of the female from which it gains
nourishment
d. all of the choices are correct.
