Sample Exam Questions The sample exam questions that follow illustrate the relationship between the course framework and AP Biology Exam and serve as examples of the types of questions that appear on the exam. After the sample questions you will find a table that shows which skill, learning objective(s), and unit each question relates to. The table also provides the answers to the multiple-choice questions. Section I: Multiple-Choice Questions The following are examples of the kinds of multiple-choice questions found on the exam. 1. Insulin is a protein hormone that is secreted in response to elevated blood glucose levels. When insulin binds to its receptors on liver cells, the activated receptors stimulate phosphorylation cascades that cause the translocation of glucose transporters to the plasma membrane. Based on the information provided, which of the following best describes the role of insulin in this liver cell signal transduction pathway? (A) It acts as a ligand. (B) It acts as a receptor. (C) It acts as a secondary messenger. (D) It acts as a protein kinase. 2. Humans have a diploid number (“2n” ) of 46. Which of the following statements best predicts the consequence if meiosis did not occur during gametogenesis? (A) The gametes would get larger from one generation to the next. (B) The chromosome number would double with each generation. (C) The chromosome number would be halved with each generation. (D) The chromosome number would triple with each generation. 3. Mutations in the MYO6 and POU4F3 genes have been associated with a form of hereditary hearing loss in humans. Researchers studying the genes have proposed that POU4F3 encodes a transcription factor that influences the regulation of MYO6. Which of the following questions will best help guide the researchers toward a direct test of their proposal? (A) Have
