Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

16

0

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

46

2

4

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.


3

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

ecosystem

community

biome

population


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).


4

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a dominant trait

a recessive trait

a gene

a chromosome


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


5

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary

all of these

primary

secondary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.
