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

82% Answer Correctly

both dominant and recessive alleles

recessive alleles

phenotypes

dominant alleles


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

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


3

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

water

starches

ascorbic acid or peptides


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


4

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

protists

plants

animals

fungi


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


5

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-36

78

-4

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
