DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?
helix |
|
genes |
|
nucleotides |
|
gametes |
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.
Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following?
conduction |
|
reflection |
|
radiation |
|
convection |

|
fats |
|
water |
|
minerals |
Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?
fungi |
|
plants |
|
animals |
|
bacteria |
Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi. (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
warmer, cooler |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
dense, empty |
|
empty, dense |
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.
