Traits represented by genes may be which of the following?
all of these |
|
expressed |
|
recessive |
|
dominant |
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.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
archaea |
|
bacteria |
|
eukaryota |
|
animalia |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
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.
Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
gastric acid |
|
lipase |
|
pancreatic amylase |
|
trypsin |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
solid |
|
gas |
|
plasma |
|
liquid |
In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.
