Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

4

2

46

23


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

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

brainstem

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


3

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

70% Answer Correctly

composite quantities

vector quantities

scalar quantities

combinational 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:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

solid

gel


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


5

69% Answer Correctly

carbohydrates

macronutrients
