Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

ovum → zygote → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

zygote → ovum → fetus

none of these are correct


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.

52% Answer Correctly

is composed of hydrogen and helium

formed 2.6 billion years ago

is a yellow dwarf star

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


5

In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?

58% Answer Correctly

acidic

ionic

chemical

covalent


Solution

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.
