Trasheketball FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP

The following cross shows two people who are not affected by sickle cell anemia but who carry one mutated gene for the disorder. In this cross, R is the gene for a normal red blood cell, whiler is the sickle cell mutated gene.

What is the chance that an offspring from this cross will only be a carrier of sickle cell anemia?

• 0%

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

The Punnett square, in which (Y) are yellow flowers and (y) are purple flowers, is incomplete.
Which genotype should replace the question mark?

• Y
• YY
• Yy
• yy

Which source of energy is nonrenewable?

• Nuclear
• Geothermal
• Hydroelectric

Lisa learned that there may be a link between global warming and stronger hurricanes. She decided to follow these guidelines in order to reduce levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂).
• Walk more.
• Use recycled paper.
• Use energy-efficient appliances.
• Use fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs.
Which statement logically explains whether these methods are useful in decreasing global warming?

• These methods are not useful because they all release CO₂ into the atmosphere.
• These methods are not useful because they all release heat energy into the atmosphere.
• These methods are useful because they all reduce the amount of CO₂ released into the atmosphere.
• These methods are useful becausethey all reduce the use of renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels.

Scientists are studying the use of vegetable oil as an automotive fuel.
Which of these is a logical justification for continuing this research?

• The research may also help scientists develop new vegetables for use as food.
• Vegetable oil can be purchased at grocery stores, so there would be less need for fueling stations.
• Using vegetable oil will increase the number of cars that can be used by increasing the available fuel for cars.
• The fossil fuel used to make gasoline is becoming a limited resource, while vegetable oil is made of plants crops that are renewable.

Which of these describes the outcome of the collision between oceanic and continental crust?

• The two portions of crust will stop moving.
• The continental crust will subduct beneath the oceanic crust.
• The two portions of crust will slide past one another, side by side.
• The oceanic crust will subduct beneath the continental crust.

Two plates composed of rock of similar density meet along a convergent boundary.
Which statement describes what will happen where the two plates meet?

• The plates will rub against each other,causing shearing and creating fault lines in the interior of the plates.
• The plates will collide with neither plate subducting, causing the crust topile up and form a mountain range.
• The plates will collide, and the compression will heat the plates,causing some of the plates to meltand form volcanic mountains.
• The plates will rub against each other, causing one plate to subduct underneath the other plate and forming a deep trench along the boundary.

Some scientists concluded that the sickle cell mutation is beneficial to some people.
Which of these is logical evidence that supports this conclusion?

• Mosquitoes carrying the malaria virus cannot injure sickle-shaped cells.
• People with two mutated sickle cell genes have immunity against malaria.
• Mutated sickle-shaped cells destroy the malaria virus before it can spread to other cells in the body.
• People with one mutated sickle cell gene are not affected by sickle cellanemia and have some protection against malaria.
