54% Answer Correctly

all of these

fish

cows

3

Within DNA, a variety of a particular gene is called a(n):

55% Answer Correctly

heterozygous

homozygous

allele

chromosome


Solution

The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.


4

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

sugar

mitochondria

oxygen

water


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


5

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

76% Answer Correctly

a community

a food chain

a biome

a population


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
