1

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

phenotypes

dominant alleles

recessive alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles


Solution

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.


2

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches

lactic acid or alcohol

water


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


3

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

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.


4

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

reproductive

circulatory

nervous

digestive


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


5

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

gravitational

kinetic

inherent

potential


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
