Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?

61% Answer Correctly

chromotype

DNA

genotype

phenotype


Solution

2

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-40

\({40 \over 9}\)

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-8


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport oxygen

add carbon dioxide

deoxygenate blood

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

biome

population

ecosystem

community


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

58

-10

122

10


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
