A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

recessive alleles

dominant alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


2

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

16

0

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


3

As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?

45% Answer Correctly

decomposition

evaporation

photosynthesis

sedimentation


Solution

The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.


4

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

products

reactants

components

fuel


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

stratus

cumulus

cirrus

cumulonimbus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
