1

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

23

46

2

4


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


2

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a gene

a recessive trait

a chromosome

a dominant trait


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


3

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

secondary or tertiary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers

primary or secondary consumers

primary or tertiary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


4

The heart __________ blood.

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates

filters

creates

oxygenates


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

components

fuel

reactants

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
