1

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

63% Answer Correctly

gametes

diploids

sperm

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


2

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

left ventricle

pulmonary vein

aorta

right atrium


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100

100

0


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 is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

genus

family

species

domain


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


5

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

gametes

genes

nucleotides

helix


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.
