Final Jeopardy
2
What is the name of the man
who invented the smallpox
vaccine?
3
Edward Jenner
4
What was the first virus proven to
actually exist?
5
Tobacco Mosaic Virus
6
Slow-acting, virtually
indestructible infectious
proteins that cause brain
diseases in mammals
7
Prions
8
What are the serotypes of the
bird flu, swine flu and
seasonal flu?
9
Bird Flu – H5N1
Swine Flu – H1N1
Seasonal Flu – H3N2
10
Fill in the following table contrasting
genetic shift and genetic drift
Genetic Drift
Speed
Mechanism
Result
Genetic Shift
11
Genetic Drift
Genetic Shift
Speed
About a year
Days
Mechanism
Random gene mutates
causing the H-antigen to
change slightly
Inside a pig, genomes of
multiple flu serotypes are
shuffled and combined into
a new serotype
Result
New strain of the seasonal
flu. This is why you need a
flu shot each year
New serotype of flu with
unique H & N antigens.
May cause massive
casualties
12
Which anatomical term
refers to the belly side of
an organism?
13
Ventral
14
What is the name of the
person who developed the
taxonomic system used by
scientists today?
15
Carolus Linnaeus
16
Which Kingdom includes members that
are multicellular and have cell walls
made of chitin?
17
Fungi
18
Which kingdom of life contains
organisms that are prokaryotic,
yet possess eukaryotic DNA &
carry out many eukaryotic
metabolic processes

and oxygen in our
atmosphere?
23

components of earth’s
atmosphere 4.6 billion
years ago at the dawn of
the earth?

mammals with thick fur
33
Taiga
34
A familiar biome with forests
that undergo drastic
seasonal changes
35
Deciduous Forest
36
A hot & dry biome that is
located around the
Mediterranean sea and in
California characterized by
plants with thick, waxy leaves.
37
Chaparral
38
Biome located deep in the
ocean where the ultimate
source of energy is not the
sun, but rather heat and
chemicals from underwater
volcanoes
