Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

all of these

recessive

dominant

expressed


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.

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-8

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

a force

power

kinetic energy

work


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

kingdoms

classes

species

domains


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

82% Answer Correctly

solid

gas

plasma

liquid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
