1

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

anaphase

cytokinesis

megaphase

interphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.


2

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

makes up most of Earth's volume

hot

all of these

dense


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


3

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100

0

-100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


4

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

pharynx

nasal cavity

trachea

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.


5

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

57% Answer Correctly

universal donor status

postive or negative

universal recipient status

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
