1

The two heart chambers that pump blood called:

59% Answer Correctly

ventricles

valves

atria

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.


2

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

82% Answer Correctly

dominant alleles

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

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.


3

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

74% 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.


4

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

transpiration

evaporation

precipitation

both evaporation and transpiration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


5

Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

AO

B

O

AB


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
