What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

75% Answer Correctly

a community

a biome

a population

a food chain

3

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

warm 

occluded

stationary

cold


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


4

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


5

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

nucleus

cytoplasm

mitochondria

Golgi apparatus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
