Interim Assessment 4 Review

Organisms whose cells have NO nucleus are classified as...

• Eukaryotic
• Prokaryotic
• Dead

What are the 8 levels of classification of living things from most general to most specific?

• domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
• domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genius, species
• domain, kingdom, phamily, class, order, family, genus, species
• domain, king, phillip, class, order, family, genus, species

Mutations are important because they bring about

• death of the organism in which they develop
• genetic variation needed for a population to evolve
• benefits for the individual, not for the population
• Hardey-Weinberg equilibrium within a population

What is NOT a characteristic of sexual reproduction? 

• Gametes from two parents unite to form a zygote.
• Offspring are genetically identical with the parent. 
• Offspring are different from their parents and sibling.
• Genetic variability of offspring help to ensure survival in changing environmental conditions.
