Future pharmacists, doctors and agronomists are preparing for the Unified State Exam 2017 in biology. The subject is quite popular, as it is required for admission to many humanitarian universities. Therefore, the closer March 2017 approaches, the greater the excitement around state testing in biology. In this review, we will analyze the main structure of CMMs, currently known innovations and educational materials that will help you prepare for the state exam. All this will help the children adequately meet the realities of the biology exam.

the date of the

The early round traditionally starts in March, and the main one will take place in June.

• Early stage – March 22.
• The main period is June 15.
• Reserve windows are April 5, June 21 and June 30.

Main changes in the Unified State Examination in Biology 2017

While for the most part there are no innovations or plans in other subjects, biology has undergone quite serious changes. Here is their list:

• The duration of the exam has increased - 210 minutes instead of the previous 180;
• the number of questions was reduced from 40 to 28;
• tasks with one answer option have practically disappeared;
• The maximum primary score has been reduced – it is now 59, not 61;
• A new type of questions has appeared that requires working with illustrations, diagrams and graphs.

What does the new structure of KIM in biology look like?

To understand the structure of the control and measuring material, let us turn to demo versions of the Unified State Exam in biology 2017.

The first block of KIM includes 21 tasks, each of which requires a short answer in the form of several numbers or one or more words. The questions are quite simple. To cope with them, you need to know the basics of biology. For example, task No. 3 will require you to name the number of fish sperm, and two columns in question No. 5 will require you to establish a correspondence between the processes and stages of energy metabolism. Interestingly, questions 3, 4, 9, 12, 20, 21 have two options. Therefore, the subject will be able to choose the version of the task that seems easiest to him. For those who strive to get maximum points on the Unified State Exam in biology, FIPI has prepared a complex block of tasks consisting of 7 questions. They will require not only an answer, but also a detailed explanation for them. In other words, the examinee must state on paper his train of thought and provide detailed arguments in favor of his decision. Only the most prepared high school students and applicants will be able to cope with such questions.

Evaluation criteria for the Unified State Examination in Biology 2017

There are no exact criteria yet. It is only known that the maximum primary score cannot be higher than 59, and the number of minimum points that the test taker must score to successfully pass the test work is 36.

Points are earned by successfully solving test tasks. Here's what the maximum "reward" for asking questions looks like:

• 1 point: 1, 3, 6;
• 2 points: 2, 4, 5, 7 – 22;
• 3 points: 23 – 28.

For errors or incomplete answers in questions 2, 4, 5, 7 – 28, points may be reduced.

Afterword

This is what a short excursion into reality looks like unified exam in biology. The number of tasks has decreased significantly, testing has become much more interesting, and the time to work has increased by half an hour. Having this information will help future graduates high school and applicants to adequately prepare for the Unified State Exam!

In 2018, more than 133 thousand people took part in the Unified State Examination in Biology, which is slightly more than the number of exam participants in 2017 (111,748), 2016 (126,006) and 2015 (122,936). The biology exam is traditionally in demand and is one of the five most popular final elective exams. It is chosen by biology-motivated graduates entering medical, veterinary, agricultural universities, psychological and biological faculties of universities, academies and institutes physical culture and sports and a number of other universities.

In 2018, the average test score was 51.4. Its slight decrease compared to last year is primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of participants in the test score range of 61–80 (by 2.26%) and an increase in the proportion of participants in the range of 41–60 (by 3.26%). At the same time, there is a persistent downward trend in the number of participants with results in the range of 81–100. The reduction in the proportion of high-scoring students can be explained by a set of measures to improve the quality of verification of detailed answers by experts of regional subject commissions, as well as the inclusion in Part 2 of the KIM of new topics of a specific, contextual, practice-oriented nature, which required clear argumentation, and not the reproduction of general or specific knowledge on the subject. This allowed for better differentiation of participants with high test scores.

The minimum test score in 2018, as in previous years, was 36 points, and the primary score was 16 points. The share of USE participants in biology who did not score the minimum number of points in 2018 was 17.4%. Compared to 2017, the share of participants who scored test scores in the range of 41–60 was 40.6% (in 2017 – 37.3%), and in the range of 61–80 was 25.6% (in 2017 – 27.9%).

Completed all tasks in 2018 exam paper and 48 graduates scored 100 points, which amounted to 0.04% of the total number of Unified State Exam participants. The data obtained indicates, on the one hand, a fairly high level of complexity of the 2018 Unified State Exam KIM model and, on the other hand, the accessibility of the tasks, which is confirmed by the distribution of the primary and test scores of the participants.

EXAMINATION PLAN for the Unified State Exam in Biology

Generalization and application of knowledge about humans and the diversity of organisms

Task C4 (25) includes questions related to the content blocks “System and diversity of the organic world” and “The human body and its health.”

SYSTEM AND DIVERSITY OF THE ORGANIC WORLD

Solving cytology problems to apply knowledge in a new situation

Task C6 (26) includes tasks in cytology related to the processes of implementation of hereditary information and cell division.These problems are good because the questions are specific and precise. On the other hand, they are quite complex and require a deep understanding of the processes about which we're talking about. An important point when solving tasks C5, it is necessary to explain the actions being performed, especially if the problem says: “Explain your answer.” The presence of explanations allows the evaluator to draw a conclusion about the student’s understanding of this topic, and their absence can lead to the loss of a very important point.

Task C6 (26) is worth three points, which are awarded in case of a completely correct solution. Therefore, when starting a task, first of all it is necessary to highlight all the issues. The number of answers must correspond to them, otherwise you may also lose a point.

When solving a number of problems in this section, it is necessary to use the genetic code table. The rules for using the table are usually indicated in the assignment, but it is better to learn this in advance. To determine the amino acid encoded by a particular triplet, you must perform the following steps. We find the first nucleotide of the triplet in the left vertical row, the second in the upper horizontal row, the third is in the right vertical row. The desired amino acid is located at the intersection point of the imaginary lines, coming from nucleotides.


TASKS ON QUANTITATIVE RELATIONS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HEREDITARY INFORMATION

must be indicated in the explanations following:

• each amino acid is delivered to the ribosomes by one tRNA, therefore, the number of amino acids in a protein is equal to the number of tRNA molecules involved in protein synthesis;

  each amino acid is encoded by three nucleotides (one triplet, or codon), so the number of coding nucleotides is always three times greater, and the number of triplets (codons) is equal to the number of amino acids in the protein;

each tRNA has an anticodon complementary to the mRNA codon, therefore the number of anticodons, and therefore the number of tRNA molecules in general, is equal to the number of mRNA codons;

mRNA is complementary to one of the DNA strands, so the number of mRNA nucleotides is equal to the number of DNA nucleotides. The number of triplets, of course, will also be the same.

Problem 1 . 75 tRNA molecules were involved in translation. Determine the number of amino acids that make up the protein being synthesized, as well as the number of triplets and nucleotides in the gene that encodes this protein.

Solution .

One tRNA molecule delivers one amino acid to the ribosome. 75 tRNA molecules were involved in translation, therefore, the synthesized protein includes 75 amino acids.

Each amino acid is encoded by one triplet of DNA, so the region of DNA encoding a given protein contains 75 triplets.

Each triplet is three nucleotides, therefore, the indicated DNA section contains 75 x 3 = 225 nucleotides.

Answer:75 amino acids, 75 DNA triplets, 225 DNA nucleotides.

TASKS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF mRNA MOLECULES, tRNA ANTICODONS AND DETERMINATION OF AMINO ACIDS SEQUENCE IN PROTEINS

When solving problems of this type, it is necessary to rememberNecessarily indicate in explanations following:

mRNA nucleotides are complementary to DNA nucleotides;

instead of thymine, uracil is written in all types of RNA;

mRNA nucleotides are written in a row, without commas, since one molecule is meant;

tRNA anticodons are written separated by commas, since each anticodon belongs to a separate tRNA molecule;

we find amino acids using the genetic code table;

if a table of the genetic code for mRNA is given, thenuse mRNA codons :

amino acids in a protein are written with a hyphen, because it means that they have already combined and formed the primary structure of the protein.

Task 2. A fragment of a DNA chain has the sequence ACCGTTTGCCCAAT. Determine the nucleotide sequence of mRNA, tRNA anticodons and amino acid sequence in the synthesized protein.

Solution.



Task 3.

What chromosome set is characteristic of the cells of the embryo and endosperm of the seed, leaves of a flowering plant. Explain the result in each case.
Answer:

1) in the cells of the seed embryo, the diploid set of chromosomes is 2n, since the embryo develops from a zygote - a fertilized egg;
2) in the endosperm cells of the seed, the triploid set of chromosomes is 3n, as it is formed by the fusion of two nuclei of the central cell of the ovule (2n) and one sperm (n);
3) the cells of the leaves of a flowering plant have a diploid set of chromosomes - 2n, since an adult plant develops from an embryo.

TASK No. 27 (C7)

SOLVING PROBLEMS IN GENETICS FOR APPLYING KNOWLEDGE IN A NEW SITUATION

The condition of genetic problems is often voluminous, therefore, first of all, the condition requires:

highlight the features in question and introduce the appropriate designations;

establish the type of crossing: monohybrid or dihybrid;

establish the nature of inheritance: complete or incomplete dominance, autosomal or sex-linked, independent (in the case of dihybrid crosses) or linked;

identify all “characters”, i.e. all individuals indicated in the condition (if there is a large number of such individuals, it is possible to draw up a genealogical diagram for convenience);

establish the genotypes of the “characters” and, if necessary, indicate them in the appropriate diagram;

highlight all the questions posed in the condition.

After this, you can begin to directly solve the problem. To avoid unnecessary losses (meaning points), it is better to accompany all your actions with comments, especially if the problem says “Explain the solution.”

Task. In a family where the parents have normal color vision, the son is color blind.

The genes for normal color vision (D) and color blindness (d) are located on the X chromosome.

Determine the genotypes of the parents, colorblind son, gender and the likelihood of having children who are carriers of the colorblind gene. Make a diagram for solving the problem.

Explanation

1) Genotypes of parents: mother – X DX d, father X DU;

2) son’s genotype – colorblind – X dU;

3) the probability of being born as carriers of the color blindness gene (X DX d) – 25%.

The answer includes all the elements mentioned above and does not contain biological errors.

The answer includes 1 of the above elements and does not contain biological errors, OR the answer includes 3 of the above elements, but contains minor biological errors.

Description of the exam taken from the official website of FIPI http://www.ctege.info/demoversii-oge-2016/demoversiya-oge-2016-po-biologii.html

There are a lot of professions related to biology. And if the graduate decides to devote his further life to medicine, psychology, pedagogy, food industry technology, pharmacology or agriculture, then the biology exam at the end secondary school mandatory for him. What will it be like Unified State Exam in Biology 2017?

The state biology exam in 2017 will be different from the exams of previous years. Not many changes have been made, but they are significant.

A new, more optimized structure of the examination paper is proposed. The number of tasks has been reduced to 28, compared to 40 in 2016. The maximum number of primary points for the entire work has been reduced, now it is 59 points, instead of 60 last year. But the amount of time to complete the examination work has been increased to 210 minutes, instead of 180.

There will no longer be multiple choice questions in the exam. In this regard, the likelihood of guessing is reduced to a minimum. After all, before it was possible to use intuition, pass the threshold and score the minimum allowed number of points. Now intuition is not our help; we need knowledge. You will have to prepare carefully and start as early as possible. But there is also good news. The difficulty of the tasks has not changed, but the time to complete them has increased by 30 minutes.

The 2017 Unified State Examination in Biology contains 28 tasks and consists of two parts, each of which has its own level of difficulty and format.

First part of the exam

The first part consists of 21 short answer questions. Moreover, the answers will need to be written in the form of words or phrases, numbers or sequences of numbers, without spaces or separators.

The first part includes tasks of two difficulty levels: 10 - basic level and 11 - advanced.

This format is the first innovation and a good reason for taking the demo version of the Unified State Exam in Biology 2017.

The second innovation is in the content of tasks. The graduate will need:

• analyze information in graphical or tabular form (1 task)
• complete the missing information in the diagram and table (2 tasks)
• establish the sequence of systematic taxa, biological objects, phenomena, processes (3 tasks)
• solve biological problems in cytology and genetics (2 tasks)
• complete multiple choice tasks (7 tasks) and matching tasks (6 tasks) with or without a picture

So, 21 tasks of a new type have significant differences and allow you to more accurately assess your knowledge of the material covered, and also require serious preparation.

Second part of the exam (increased difficulty)

Second part of the Unified State Exam in Biology 2017 is aimed at graduates with a high level of knowledge in the subject, or rather at identifying them. There will be no changes here. As in 2016, there will be 7 tasks, organized by type educational activities and in accordance with the themes of the subject. Graduates write answers to them independently in detailed form. There are also no changes in difficulty level: 1 advanced task and 6 high level tasks.

In the second part, the graduate must independently explain and justify biological phenomena and processes, be able to analyze, systematize and integrate knowledge, and confirm theory with practice. And all this should be correctly formulated in a detailed answer.

How is it assessed?

The initial maximum number of points for the state exam in 2017 has changed, but not significantly.

For completing 10 tasks of a basic level of complexity, 17 points are given, for 12 tasks of an advanced level - 24 points, for 6 tasks of a high level - 18. In total - 59 points. for passing the biology exam will be 36 points.

What you need to know

The exam involves testing knowledge of the subject in full. And if something is missed, even for a good reason, this fact is not taken into account during the exam. Therefore, it is advisable for the future graduate to begin preparing for it as early as September in order to have time to fill in all the gaps.

Knowledge testing in biology will be carried out in the following sections:

• Biology as a science. Methods of scientific knowledge
• Cell as a biological system
• Organism as a biological system
• System and diversity of the biological world
• The human body and its health
• Evolution of living nature
• Ecosystems and their inherent patterns

Use this list to test yourself and catch up on missed topics.

What you need to know

At the Unified State Examination in biology, it is also important to show your skills and abilities to use the acquired knowledge. The graduate must correctly use terminology, define biological objects not only according to the description, but also according to the drawing. When explaining biological processes, those who use not only words, but also tables, graphs, and diagrams will have a significant advantage. Solve problems, draw conclusions and apply theoretical knowledge in practice, in everyday life.

Every year FIPI releases an updated demo version of the Unified State Exam in Biology. The graduate has the opportunity to calmly understand the instructions, assignments, rules of conduct, assessment criteria, and practically go through all stages of the exam. Of course, the demo version is not an exact copy of the Unified State Exam, but, nevertheless, it allows the student to feel calmer and more confident when everything happens for real.

In preparing for the Unified State Exam in biology, each graduate needs to take into account his or her personal, individual characteristics. Everyone knows their weaknesses and strengths, memory capabilities, performance. Those who have not yet figured this out can turn to their parents and teachers for help. It’s worth talking to those who have already taken the Unified State Exam and getting additional information first-hand. In a word, all methods are good for preparation, the main thing is not to leave everything for May, not to hope that “maybe it will blow over,” but to start systematically studying now.

Biology is one of the subjects that a graduate chooses on his own at the Unified State Examination. And if he makes a choice in favor of biology, then he likes this science. Therefore, all worries and worries should be left at the door so as not to interfere. And take with you composure, confidence, remember everything and get the highest score.
