1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

nuclei

chromatids

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

83% Answer Correctly

reflectors

insulators

refractors

conductors


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


3

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

vena cava

arteriole

aorta

capillary


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

high-altitude

low-altitude

mid-altitude

ground level


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


5

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

nucleus

cytoplasm

Golgi apparatus

mitochondria


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
