A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:
a chromosome |
|
a dominant trait |
|
a gene |
|
a recessive trait |
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.
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
similar temperature |
|
similar moisture |
|
similar density |
|
all of these |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?
molecular |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
covalent |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Which of the following is true about species groups?
a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres |
|
a community is made up of a group of populations |
|
a population is made up of a group of communities |
|
an ecosystem is a biological population |
A population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
212°F is how many °C?
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
100 |
|
0 |
|
-100 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
