1

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

both dominant and recessive alleles

dominant alleles

recessive alleles

phenotypes


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


2

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


3

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

in the presence of oxygen

aerobically

in plant cells


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.


4

Examples of tertiary consumers include:

73% Answer Correctly

fish

sharks
