Lebeziatnikov prevented Pyotr Petrovitch Luzhin from framing a theft on Sofya Semyonovna by declaring that he had seen him slip the money into Sonia's pocket.  Her mother Katerina Ivanovna gets kicked out by the landlady and goes through the streets performing with her children.  Her death parallels that of her husband Marmelodov, who was helped financially by the main character, whose sister Avdotya Romanovna was to marry Luzhin, but instead, turns to the good-hearted Razumihin, who plans to move the new family to Siberia so they can visit her brother and Sonia.  FTP name this Dostoevsky novel in which Roskolnikov kills a pawn broker with an axe.
	ANSWER: Crime and Punishment

She sings about the phony world, and believes that a line or street can be straight, but not the heart of a human being.  She doesn't want realism, but magic, and convinces herself that "physical beauty is a transitory possession."  She wears a Rhinestone tiara and is afraid of flowers for the dead.  Her life in Oriole includes staying at Tarantula Arms, not Flamingo Hotel, and the suicide of her boy husband Allan Grey.  Believing that she has been invited by Shep Huntleigh, she finally leaves her sister Stella for the insane asylum.

science 5/5

During this period, trees that dominated coal-forming forests were replaced by cycadeoids, cycads, ginkgos, and conifers.  Gymnosperms and seed ferns became dominant and marine invertebrate lineages became diverse.  As Pangaea began separating into individual continents, glaciers melted and inland seas were formed.  The Earth's biota became increasingly provincialized as the first mammals appeared.  Reptiles radiated, eventually giving rise to crocodilians, birds, and early dinosaurs.  FTP name this geological period lasting from 245 to 195 million years ago, the first period of the Mesozoic era, before Jurassic.
	ANSWER: Triassic

Facilitated by SR protein recognition of ESE, the trans type of this process occurs in trypanosomes and euglenoids.  Maturases are needed in vivo for it to take place in stem-looped mitochondrial and chloroplastic group II introns, which are similar in structure to snRNAs.  Followed by exosome debranching and hydrolysis of its byproduct and nuclear cap-binding for cytoplasmic export, it is repressed by Sx1 in Drosophila sexual differentiation and enhanced by Tra.  Taking place with editing, it allows alternative expression of different proteins from a single gene.  Removing introns from the RNA transcript, FTP name this process that joins adjacent exons together.
	ANSWER: RNA splicing

This effect can be eliminated in alcohols by fast proton exchange, and in haloalkanes by rapid magnetic equilibration.  Either geminal or vicinal, its ratios are given by Pascal's triangle under first order conditions, but if nonequivalent neighbors are involved, the sequential N+1 rule is applied to find the number of peaks.  When its coupling constant is comparable to the frequency difference, higher field strength is needed to improve resolution.  Caused by local magnetic fields of neighboring atoms, FTP name this phenomenon observed in NMR in which a peak in the spectrum splits up.
	ANSWER: spin-spin splitting (coupling); prompt on NMR before it is mentioned

Its Van Allen belts were found by Frank Drake and its diameter was measured by James Bradley.  Its atmosphere contains gaseous krypton and xenon in greater amounts than expected, and it rotates in only 10 hours.  Containing a layer of compressed hydrogen around a solid core that acts like metals, it harbors the strongest radio waves in the solar system and may have formed from comet material.  Voyager discovered a ring surrounding this planet, whose largest moon leaks hydrogen.  Pulling on the volcanic Io, FTP name this planet containing the moons Europa and Ganymede as seen by Galileo.

	ANSWER: gap junctions

Name these two compounds containing phosphate groups, and one that doesn't.  FTPE.
(10)  It can lose its phosphate group to form a pyruvate with both enol and keto forms, giving a huge release in energy.  It occurs in the penultimate step of glycolysis and as an acceptor of CO_2 in oxaloacetate formation in the C4 cycle.
	ANSWER: phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
(10)  It loses 1 of 2 anhydride-bound phosphates to be left with resonance-stabilized carboxylate.  It binds to hemoglobin to decrease O_2 affinity at high altitudes.
	ANSWER: 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)
(10)  It doesn't have phosphates in an oxygen ester linkage, but does contain instead a thioester linkage of a CH_3 C double bond O group to a cofactor built from ADP, mercaptoethylamine, and pantothenic acid.  It is the entry point for the Krebs Cycle.
	ANSWER: acetyl coenzyme A

In competition with SN1, this type of reaction abstracts a proton from an adjacent carbon on the carbocation, rehybridizing it from sp^3 to sp^2, forming a pi bond with the left-over electron pair.  FTPE.
(10)  Not dependent on leaving-group ability, name this two-step mechanism taking place in weakly nucleophilic polar media in secondary haloalkanes and in dilute base solutions in tertiary haloalkanes, that results in alkenes.
	ANSWER: unimolecular elimination; or E1
(10)  In the presence of strong bases, the rate of alkene formation depends on both the halide and the base.  Competing with SN2, name this one-step, concerted mechanism favored with sterically hindered basic nucleophiles on branched haloalkanes.
	ANSWER: bimolecular elimination; or E2
(10)  With E2 in an unhindered base, this rule states that the double bond forms between the carbon containing the leaving group and the most highly substituted adjacent carbon bearing a hydrogen, forming a thermodynamically more stable product.
	ANSWER: Saytzev rule; or Zaitsev rule

history 5/5

Its last emperor Xiandi abdicated to a son of his chief minister.  Formed by a minor official who declared himself Gaozu, it saw the conquest of the Xiongnu, Ferghana, and Annam early, and the burning of its new capital by Dong Zhou late.

Felix Grundy taught him law and Ephraim McDowell removed his gallstones.  Much abused while Speaker of the House, he became governor of Tennessee but lost his next two election campaigns.  His presidency invoked the Monroe Doctrine for Yucatan independence, passed the Independent Treasury Act, and settled with Lord Aberdeen of Britain on 49th parallel boundary of Oregon.  Failure of support for annexation of Texas by Martin Van Buren led to his nomination as the dark-horse candidate.  With vice president George Mifflin Dallas, FTP name this man succeeded by Zachary Taylor, the president during the Mexican-American War.

It was precipitated by the death of Francois duke of Anjou, because of implications of his passing for the succession to the French crown, and by the Treaty of Nemours, which sought to rectify the problem.  In one of its battles at SW France, the cavalry of the Prince of Conde smashed the enemy line and destroyed the army of Anne duke of Joyeuse, at Coutras.  The victory had little impact, however, for the King of Navarre failed to press his advantage against the King of France.

	ANSWER: war of the Three Henrys

The first to set foot on them was Captain John Strong, who named them after the First Lord of the Admiralty, but the first to settle them was a Frenchman, Antoine de Bougainville, in 1764; the British answered with a settlement of their own a year later.  Both, however, were in violation of the Treaty of Utrecht, which granted sovereignty over them to Spain.  The collapse of Spain's New World empire in the early 19th century left their legal status in limbo, a condition which arguably persists to this day.  FTP name these desolate South Atlantic islands, invaded by Argentina and successfully defended by Britain in 1982.
	ANSWER: Falkland islands; or islas Malvinas
