1HS.LS.2.6Describe how an environmental change would most likely affect the survival of a species.
2HS.LS.3.3Determine the percentage of offspring from a given cross that would be expected to inherit a particular trait.
3HS.LS.3.2Interpret a model of crossing over and describe how crossing over increases genetic variation.
4HS.LS.4.4Describe how bacterial reproduction and survival can result in an antibiotic becoming less effective over time.
5HS.LS.3.4Identify an example of polygenic inheritance.
6HS.LS.1.7Describe how a step in a model can be improved to more accurately describe how usable energy is produced by an athlete and identify a product of cellular respiration.
7HS.LS.3.1Use evidence about the number of chromosomes in gametes and body cells to support a claim.
8HS.LS.2.7Analyze the setup of an experiment to determine the purpose of the investigation about invasive species.
9HS.LS.2.2Analyze a food web to determine how an increase in one population would affect another population.
10HS.LS.1.6Identify which element is most abundant in a protein.
11HS.LS.4.5Explain why closely related organisms may not produce fertile offspring in the wild.
12HS.LS.1.2Describe how an inherited mutation most likely affects the functioning of the digestive system.
13HS.LS.3.2Identify the type of cell that can pass a mutation from parent to offspring.
14HS.LS.1.2Describe how an inherited mutation can affect the functioning of the respiratory system.
15HS.LS.1.1Determine the mRNA sequence for a given DNA sequence and determine the missing amino acid of a protein produced as a result of a mutation.
16HS.LS.3.3Analyze a pedigree to determine the inheritance pattern for a condition, complete a Punnett square for a given cross, determine the probability of inheriting the condition, and explain how the probability was determined.
17HS.LS.2.5Analyze a graph to compare the rates of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in an aquatic ecosystem.
18HS.LS.4.1Complete a cladogram showing the relatedness between species based on DNA evidence.
19HS.LS.2.5Determine two changes that would improve a carbon cycle model.
20HS.LS.1.4Describe events of interphase, explain why mitosis must occur before cytokinesis, and explain the effect on the human body if a person's cells stopped going through mitosis and cytokinesis.
21HS.LS.4.2Determine a genotype for a trait based on an inheritance pattern, describe the expected allele frequencies in a population, and explain how changes in allele frequencies can be a result of natural selection.
22HS.LS.2.2Determine the type of symbiotic relationship between two species.
23HS.LS.2.2Identify changes that would result in an increase in the size of a population.
24HS.LS.1.1Determine the cell part most responsible for protein synthesis.
25HS.LS.3.4Identify whether a characteristic of an animal is most directly caused by genetic factors or environmental factors, and determine whether the animal's phenotype and genotype change or stay the same.
26HS.LS.3.2Determine how a particular mutation would be expected to affect the function of the resulting protein.
27HS.LS.4.5Identify an example of speciation due to geographic isolation.
28HS.LS.3.3Determine the expected percentage of offspring with a certain phenotype for a given cross.
29HS.LS.1.2Describe the interaction between the liver and the circulatory system.
30HS.LS.2.7Describe the impact of an invasive plant species in an ecosystem.
31HS.LS.2.1Identify an environmental change that would most likely increase the carrying capacity for a given population.
32HS.LS.3.1Use a model to show the process of meiosis and fertilization.
33HS.LS.4.1Determine the type of evidence that best supports a claim about the relatedness of two species.
34HS.LS.4.2Explain why one species may be better able to survive a disease outbreak than another species.
35HS.LS.1.7Identify the process that produces energy for cell growth.
36HS.LS.1.3Determine whether substances would be expected to move into or out of cells based on their concentration gradients, and describe how cell membranes help to maintain homeostasis.
37HS.LS.2.4Identify the ecological role of an organism in an ecosystem, analyze a food web to determine how an increase in one population would affect another population, and explain why producers have the most available energy in an ecosystem.
38HS.LS.3.1Explain why a human infant is genetically similar to, but not identical to, its mother.
39HS.LS.1.6Identify the monomers that make up an organic macromolecule.
40HS.LS.3.3Analyze phenotypic data for several genetic crosses to determine the cross that would produce the most heterozygous offspring.
41HS.LS.4.4Determine the cause of the rapid spread of a virus and explain how new types of viruses can develop.
42HS.LS.1.5Determine that photosynthesis is a process performed only by plants and that cellular respiration is a process performed by both plants and animals; analyze data to determine whether flasks in an experiment contain plants, animals, or both and explain the reasoning.
