1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

cells

chromatids

nuclei

chromosomes


Solution

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


2

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

83% Answer Correctly

saturated fat

protein

unsaturated fat

fiber


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


3

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

capillaries

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


4

Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?

59% Answer Correctly

first civilizations

fossil record

carbon dating

extinction of dinosaurs


Solution

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

cytokinesis

interphase

anaphase

megaphase


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.
