1

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

recessive alleles

dominant alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles

phenotypes


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


2

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:

60% Answer Correctly

none of these

more complex

similarly complex

less complex


Solution

Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.


3

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

carnivores

herbivores

omnivores

scavengers


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


4

Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:

60% Answer Correctly

meteorites

meteors

meteoroids

shooting stars


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.


5

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

scalar quantities

composite quantities

vector quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
