1. Describe the three stages of cellular respiration, where they occur in the cell, the substrates and reactants for each stage, and the number of ATP each stage produces.
2. Cystic fibrosis is a disease caused by a recessive allele, and so it appears only as a homozygous recessive genotype. Two parents without cystic fibrosis have a child who does have the disease. Explain what happened and include a Punnett square in your answer. (You can use a word-processor table with three columns and three rows to draw the Punnett square, and watch out for automatic capitalization. If your word-processor cannot draw a table, then describe what is in each cell of the table.)
3. How did the phrase "dumb jock" come to be? (This is a rhetorical question.) The phrase reflects two characteristics, intelligence and athletic prowess.
