What is the term for the cell formed when a sperm cell and an egg cell unite?

• Gamete

• Zygote

• Embryo

• Blastocyst

During which process do two gametes fuse to form a zygote?

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Fertilization

• Binary fission

Which of the following is an example of a biotic factor in an ecosystem?

• Soil pH

Which of the following is considered an abiotic factor?

• Bacteria

• Water

• Insects

• Fungi

What is a learned behavior in animals?

• Instinct

• Reflex

• Imprinting

• Aging

Why is taxonomy important in the field of biology?

• It helps in identifying new species based on DNA

• It provides a universal language for naming organisms

• It assists in the development of agricultural crops

• It is used to determine the chemical properties of organisms

What a purpose of mitosis in cell growth?

• To reduce the chromosome number by half

• To create genetic diversity

• To repair damaged tissues

• To produce gametes

Why is meiosis important for reproduction?

• It allows for asexual reproduction

• It ensures that offspring have the same number of chromosomes as the parent

• It produces cells with half the genetic material of the parent

• It duplicates the DNA exactly without variation

In an experiment, what is the dependent variable?

• The variable that is manipulated by the researcher

• The variable that is kept constant

• The variable that is measured for change

• The hypothesis being tested

What is the independent variable in a scientific study?

• The variable that depends on other factors

• The variable that is measured

• The variable that is manipulated by the researcher

• The outcome of the experiment
