A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:
recessive alleles |
|
both dominant and recessive alleles |
|
dominant alleles |
|
phenotypes |
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.
The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
fewer |
|
more |
|
equal numbers of |
|
double the number of |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Plant cells are surrounded by:
only a cell wall |
|
only a cell membrane |
|
neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall |
|
a cell membrane and a cell wall |
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
