72% Answer Correctly

0

-32

16

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a gene

a chromosome

a recessive trait

a dominant trait


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.


3

The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:

78% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere

geosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).


4

86% Answer Correctly

arthropod

5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

ventricles

valves

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
