Proteins are made up on DNA, which determines the cells that are produced

DNA is made up of Proteins, which tell a cell how to function

Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?

It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism

It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have triple the chromosome number of the organism

It allows gametes to have twice the original number of chromosomes of the organism

It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

The use of pesticides on crops has been a common farming practice for decades. What has been the greatest effect of natural selection through the use of pesticides on certain insect populations?

The rate of selection is increased because the pesticides do not kill the insects that are naturally resistant to it

Natural selection has been altered because the insects and their predators are killed

The rate of selection has decreased because the pesticides kill only young insects

The pesticides have altered natural selection by causing the insect DNA to spontaneously mutate

What is the difference between the full classification of organisms and their specific names?

The full classification of organisms will include more categories of organisms that their specific names

The full classification of organisms and their scientific names vary in different countries

The scientific name of organisms include the order and family of the organisms, but the full classification includes only the species name

The scientific names of organisms include a single nomenclature, but the fill classification includes various nomenclatures

Which best explains why muscle cells are different from blood cells?

Different genes are activated in muscle cells that in blood cells

A mutation occurs during the development of muscle cells but not in blood cells

Muscles cells experience different environmental influences than blood cells

Muscle cells are produced by the brain, but blood cells are produces by the heart

A freshwater plant is placed in a container of saltwater. What will most likely happen to the cells of the plant ?

They will shrink because water will move out of them

They will swell because water will move into them

They will swell because salt will move into them

They will shrink because salt will move out of them

Which environmental concern is most associated with burning fossil fuels?

decrease in levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide

What is the advantage of having different shaped beaks?

To be able to eat the food readily available in the environment.

To look different from other species.

To protect itself against predators.

To protect itself against prey.

The allele for brown eyes is dominant to the allele for blue eyes. Which of the following best explains how two brown-eyed parents could produce a blue-eyed child?

Each parent must be carrying the recessive allele for blue eyes.

Eye color is a sex-linked trait and male children could have only the allele for blue eyes.

One parent must have had only blue-eyed parents.

Mutations after fertilization could alter gene sequences and change alleles.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both involve the use and release of gases. Which statement correctly identifies the role of gases in the two processes?

Cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

Which abiotic factor limits the altitude at which plants can grow?

the presence of herbivorous animals

the concentration of bacteria in the soil
