Read the first 6 GAMSAT Biological Sciences and Chemistry flashcards as text

  1. Which law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature, relevant to GAMSAT chemistry?

    Answer: Boyle's Law

    Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂).

  2. In GAMSAT biology, which phase of mitosis involves chromosomes aligning at the cell's equatorial plate?

    Answer: Metaphase

    During metaphase, chromosomes align along the metaphase plate (cell's equator), maximizing visibility under a microscope.

  3. A GAMSAT question asks about enzymes: which term describes the specific molecule an enzyme acts upon?

    Answer: Substrate

    The substrate is the specific molecule that binds to an enzyme's active site and undergoes a chemical reaction.

  4. Which type of reaction involves the gain of electrons, a concept commonly tested in GAMSAT redox chemistry?

    Answer: Reduction

    Reduction is the gain of electrons, remembered by the mnemonic OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain).

  5. In the context of GAMSAT genetics, which term describes alternate forms of a gene found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes?

    Answer: Alleles

    Alleles are different versions of the same gene occupying the same position (locus) on homologous chromosomes.

  6. Which type of chemical isomers have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangement, a GAMSAT Section III topic?

    Answer: Stereoisomers

    Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms.
