Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?
DNA |
|
genotype |
|
phenotype |
|
chromotype |
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.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
iron, calcium |
|
vitamin D, calcium |
|
vitamin D, magnesium |
|
calcium, vitamin A |
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
third law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
first law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:
biome |
|
community |
|
ecosystem |
|
population |
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
expressed |
|
all of these |
|
dominant |
|
recessive |
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.
