1

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

genes

helix

gametes

nucleotides


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


2

The universal recipient blood type can recieve any other blood type. Which blood type is the universal recipient?

45% Answer Correctly

AB-positive

O

O-negative

AB


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


3

Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

59% Answer Correctly

producers

decomposers

all of these

primary and secondary consumers


Solution

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.


4

The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

plates

continents

metamorphic rock

sedimentary rock


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

left ventricle

pulmonary vein

aorta


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
