1

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

46

2

23

4


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.


2

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

mixes with

pushes under

pushes above

cancels out


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.


3

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

66% Answer Correctly

brainstem

cerebellum

medulla

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


4

In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

55% Answer Correctly

nucleus

cell membrane

cell wall

cytoplasm


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


5

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

36

-36

-4

78


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
