Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

-32

0

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.

81% Answer Correctly

cell

generation

species

family


Solution

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.


3

Veins carry blood __________ the heart.

55% Answer Correctly

all of these

back to 

away from

within


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


4

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

-273°C

absolute zero

0K

32°F


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


5

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a recessive trait

a gene

a dominant trait

a chromosome


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.
