In each of the three performance-based tasks of the spring assessment, students will be asked to read cold text, novel text previously unfamiliar to them, answer several EBSR and/or TECRs and then write a prose constructed response (PCR) to address a well-developed scenario.ARCCâs PCR asks students to thoughtfully construct an audience-appropriate response supported by text evidence rather than draft a response fictionalizing examples or demanding the reader to fill the voids of evidence.

A quantitative trait locus is a section of DNA which correlates with variation in a phenotype. Usually the QTL is linked to, or contains, the genes which control that phenotype. QTLs are mapped by identifying which molecular markers correlate with an observed trait. This is often an early step in identifying and sequencing the actual genes that cause the trait variation.
