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 are the subunits of DNA and their function?

nucleotides that store genetic information

monosaccharides that provide quick energy for the cell

lipids that store energy and provide insulation

proteins that provide the building blocks for the structural components of organisms

How does the amount of energy resulting from fermentation compare with that of aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration results in more energy (ATP)

Each process results in equal amounts of energy (ATP)

Each process results in variable amounts of energy (ATP)

Aerobic respiration results in less energy (ATP)

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 carbon dioxide in atmosphere

Which would most likely produce a mutation that is passed on to offspring?

sex cells with an extra chromosome forming

radiation changing the DNA sequence in skin cells

tobacco smoke altering the genes in lung cells

exposure to chemicals altering nerve cell function

A population of cockroaches was sprayed with an insecticide. A few of the cockroaches survived and produced a population of cockroaches that was resistant to the spray. What can best be inferred from this example?

Individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce.

A species will adapt no matter what the environment.

The environment has no effect on the survival of an organism.

Insecticides cause mutations that are passed on to the next generation.

A scientist is trying to determine how closely related two species of plants are. Which of the following would be most useful for the scientist to compare?

the genetic sequences of the plants

the leaf structures of the plants

the nutrient requirements of the plants

Which of the following characteristics is why viruses are not considered living things?

viruses are unable to reproduce outside of host cells

viruses are unable to have mutations

The dusky rattlesnakes that live in the mountains of Mexico have a variety of color patterns, body shapes, and behaviors. A recent study of dusky rattlesnake DNA concluded that there is a lot of genetic diversity within the species. Which of the following statements best describes what caused this great genetic diversity in dusky rattlesnakes?

Rattlesnake populations inhabited various types of niches over time.

Stable conditions decreased the population sizes of rattlesnakes.

Climate change caused some rattlesnake species to become extinct.

Environmental extremes caused rattlesnakes to reproduce more often.

Lipids, carbohydrates, and DNA all exist in human cells as long molecular chains. Which of the following describes how DNA differs from lipids and carbohydrates?

Only DNA contains genetic information.

Only DNA is found in the cytoplasm.

Only DNA is needed to create new cells.
