Task No. 3.

The set of chromosomes of potato germ cells is 24. What set of chromosomes do the somatic cells of this organism have? Write down only the number of chromosomes in your answer.

Explanation: germ cells contain a haploid (single) set of chromosomes, and somatic cells (all other cells) contain a diploid (double) set. The correct answer is 48.

Task No. 4.

All but two of the following features can be used to describe the functions of nucleic acids in a cell. Identify two characteristics that “drop out” from the general list and write down the numbers under which they are indicated in the table.

1. Maintain homeostasis

2. Transfer hereditary information from the nucleus to ribosomes

3. Participate in protein biosynthesis

4. Part of the cell membrane

RNA- ribonucleic acid, there are three types: ribosomal, transport, information. All types of RNA are synthesized on DNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) forms ribosomes, mRNA carries out transcription - copies a certain section of DNA and leaves the nucleus into the cytoplasm. tRNA brings the amino acids necessary for the synthesis of a specific protein to the ribosome. The correct answer is 1, 4.

Task No. 5.

Establish a correspondence between the characteristic and the process: for each position given in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.

Characteristic

A. Occurs in chloroplasts

B. Glucose is synthesized

B. Is a stage of energy metabolism

D. Occurs in the cytoplasm

D. Photolysis of water occurs

Process

1. Photosynthesis

2. Glycolysis

Explanation: Photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy into the energy of chemical bonds, carried out by phototrophs. It occurs in chloroplasts, during which photolysis of water occurs, glucose is synthesized, and other processes. Glycolysis is one of the stages of energy metabolism that occurs in the cytoplasm. The correct answer is 11221.

2. Rotate a section of a chromosome by 180 degrees

3. Decrease in the number of chromosomes in the karyotype

4. Appearance of an additional X chromosome

5. Transfer of a chromosome section to a non-homologous one

Explanation: chromosomal variability - such variability, which is associated with a violation of the structure of chromosomes, leads to serious changes that can be detected using a microscope. Such mutations include losses of chromosome sections (deletions), addition of sections, rotation of a chromosome section by 180°, and the appearance of repeats. The correct answer is 34.

Task No. 8.

Establish a correspondence between the method of reproduction and the example: for each position given in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.

and artificial selection - carried out by humans, leads to the creation of new breeds of animals and plant varieties with hereditary characteristics needed by humans. The correct answer is 22112.

Task No. 17.
Choose three correct answers out of six and write down the numbers under which they are indicated in the table.
The biogeocenosis of the river's fresh water body is characterized by
1. The presence of producers of organic matter - autotrophs
2. The absence of organic destroyers - decomposers
3. The presence of flowering plants in shallow waters
4. Absence of predatory fish
5. The constant number of animal populations inhabiting it
6. Closed cycle of substances
Explanation: in a natural biogeocenosis all components of the food chain (producers, consumers, decomposers) are present, which means
autotrophs are present (for example, flowering plants in shallow water), consumers can be represented by predatory fish, natural biogeocenoses are not characterized by constancy in numbers, since population waves constantly occur in populations due to various factors,
But natural biogeocenosis is characterized by a closed circulation of substances. The correct answer is 136.

B. Division of the species’ range by various barriers
D. Diversity of variability of individuals within the range
D. Diversity of habitats within a stable range
Methods of speciation
1. Geographical
2. Ecological
Explanation: reasons associated with changes in habitats (stability of the range of the original species, division of the range of the species by various barriers) we will attribute to geographical speciation, and
all other reasons are environmental (what happens inside the original area). The correct answer is 12122.

Task No. 19.
Establish the sequence of processes occurring during the change of biogeocenoses (succession).
1. Colonization by shrubs
2. Colonization of bare rocks by lichens
3. Building a sustainable community
4. Germination of herbaceous plant seeds
5. Population of the territory with mosses
Explanation: succession - change of biogeocenoses. Let’s imagine that the area has burned out and not a single herbaceous plant remains, which means we need to develop anew, starting with the colonization of bare rocks by lichens, then
mosses, then the seeds of herbaceous plants brought by the wind germinate, then shrubs appear and a stable community is formed (we can compare the change of biogeocenoses with the evolution of plants). The correct answer is 25413.

Task No. 20.
Analyze the table. Fill in the empty cells of the table using the concepts and terms, examples given in the list. For each lettered cell, select the appropriate term from the list provided.

List of terms and concepts
1. Hereditary
2. Birth of a white-eyed individual from red-eyed Drosophila parents
3. Change in fur color in the white hare depending on temperature
4. Combinative
5. Non-hereditary
Explanation: mutational variability is hereditary (this is the basis of evolution), A is hereditary. Combinative variability leads to the formation of a new phenotype in the offspring using a combination of parental gametes, B - combinative. Modification variability - variability depending on environmental conditions (for example, temperature) within the normal range of the reaction. B - 3. The correct answer is 143.

Task No. 21.
Study the graph showing the distribution of pumpkin seeds by size. Select statements that can be formulated based on the analysis of the proposed schedule. Write down the numbers of the selected statements in your answer.

1. The greater the deviation from the average value of a trait, the lower the frequency of occurrence of this trait

2. The variation curve of a graph is a graphic expression of the nature of the variability of a characteristic

3. The average value of the trait is not found in natural populations

4. The average value of a characteristic is a deviation from the norm

Explanation: as we see in the population there are a large number of individuals with an average trait, and fewer with deviations, therefore, the first statement is suitable. This graph also represents a graphic expression of the nature of the variability of the trait. The correct answer is 12.

Task No. 22.

The biosphere is a global ecosystem consisting of a large number of smaller systems. Each of them has a specific composition and structure. What is the structure of an ecosystem? Justify your answer.

Explanation: An ecosystem is a system of living organisms that live in a certain territory and have trophic connections with each other (and in natural ecosystems the cycle of substances is closed). The structure of an ecosystem is characterized by two indicators: species (number of species and their abundance) and spatial (distribution of organisms in the space of a given territory). The spatial indicator, in turn, includes two characteristics - horizontal (the distribution of organisms in the horizontal direction - for example, mosaic) and vertical (the arrangement of organisms in the vertical direction - for example, layering).

Task No. 23.

Determine the type and class of the animal depicted in the picture. By what signs can this be done? What are the digestive features of this animal? Explain your answer.

Explanation: The figure shows an organism of the Arachnida class of the Arthropod type. We determined this because this organism has four pairs of walking legs, a cephalothorax and an abdomen. Digestion of spiders is extraorganismal, that is, the spider catches its victims in the web (they stick to the web), then injects a mixture of gastric enzymes into the victim and leaves it for a while. The spider then sucks up the semi-digested internal contents of the victim.

Task No. 24.

Find errors in the given text. Indicate the numbers of the sentences in which errors were made and correct them.

1. The educational tissue of angiosperms ensures plant growth. 2. When cambium cells divide, the plant stem grows in length. 3. Sieve tubes carry water and minerals. 4. The integumentary tissue is formed by cells tightly adjacent to each other. 5. Stomata are located between the cells of the conducting tissue.

Explanation: sentence 2 - when cambium cells divide, the plant stem grows not in length, but in thickness. 3 - sieve tubes carry organic substances from the leaves to all plant organs, and water and minerals are carried through the xylem. 5 - stomata are located between the cells of the integumentary tissue rather than the conductive tissue.

Task No. 25.

Why is the bud of an angiosperm plant considered an embryonic shoot? Provide at least three pieces of evidence.

Explanation: Let's consider the structure of the vegetative bud of an angiosperm plant

A bud is considered a rudimentary shoot, since it has all the shoot organs (but in an embryonic state) - leaves, stem, buds. And from such a vegetative bud a real shoot grows.

Task No. 26.

Give at least three examples of changes in a mixed forest ecosystem that could result from a decline in the number of insectivorous birds.

Explanation: Insectivorous birds eat insects. If the number of insectivorous birds decreases, then the number of insects increases (since few people eat them) and they begin to destroy plants, that is, the number of plants decreases. On the other hand, insectivorous birds are eaten by predators, particularly birds of prey. As the number of insectivorous birds decreases, the number of birds of prey also decreases.

Task No. 27.

The chromosome set of a somatic plant cell is 20. Determine the chromosome set and the number of DNA molecules in the ovule cells before the start of meiosis prophase 1 and at the end of meiosis 1 telophase. Explain the results obtained.

Explanation: somatic cells have a diploid set of chromosomes (that is, double), and sex cells have a haploid set. In interphase (before division), DNA doubling occurs, which means that in prophase of meiosis 1 set remains diploid - 2n (20 chromosomes), and the number of DNA molecules is double, that is, 40. In telophase of meiosis 1, division has already occurred (it happened back in anaphase) and the number of both chromosomes and DNA was divided in half, that is, the chromosome set is n (1 chromosomes), and the number of DNA molecules is 2c (20 DNA molecules).

Rear No. 28.

A blue-eyed, fair-haired man and a diheterozygous brown-eyed, dark-haired woman entered into marriage. Determine the genotypes of the married couple, as well as the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the children. Establish the probability of having a child with a dihomozygous genotype.

Explanation: A - brown eyes

a - blue eyes

B - dark hair

c - blond hair

R: aavv x AaVv

G: av x AB, av, Av, aV

F1: AaBv - brown eyes, dark hair

aavv - blue eyes, blond hair

Aaav - brown eyes, blond hair

aaVv - blue eyes, dark hair

The probability of having a child with each genotype is 25%. (and the probability of having a child with a dihomozygous genotype (aabb) is 25%)

Signs are not gender-linked. This is where the law of independent inheritance comes into play.
