1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

chromosomes

nuclei

cells

chromatids


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

dominant

all of these

recessive

expressed


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.


3

Which of the following is true about species groups?

47% Answer Correctly

a community is made up of a group of populations

an ecosystem is a biological population

a biome is a made up of a group of biospheres

a population is made up of a group of communities


Solution

population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.


4

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

47% Answer Correctly

atria

aorta

ventricles

valves


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


5

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen

aerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
