3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

angle of incidence

90°

focal point


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


4

Within DNA, a variety of a particular gene is called a(n):

55% Answer Correctly

allele

heterozygous

homozygous

chromosome


Solution

The gene is the base unit of inheritance and is contained within DNA. A gene may come in several varieties (alleles) and there are a pair of alleles for every gene. If the alleles are alike, a person is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, heterozygous.


5

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

55% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

solid

liquid

primarily liquid


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
