1

Gametes have how many pairs of chromosomes?

76% Answer Correctly

4

23

2

46


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

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

proton

atom

neutron

electron


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


4

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

horsepower

watts

amps

joules or newton-meters


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
