Use argument based on empirical evidence to support an explanation for how animal behaviors affect reproduction success.

Certain behaviors increase the likelihood of finding a mate.

Animals do not exhibit behaviors that affect reproduction.

All animal behaviors are random and have no effect.

Behaviors only affect survival, not reproduction.

Gather and synthesize information about a technology that has changed human influence on inheritance.

Explain the use of CRISPR in gene editing.

Describe the process of natural selection.

Discuss the role of photosynthesis in plants.

Analyze a graph showing the growth of plants in different soil types to determine the influence of environmental factors.

Plants in nutrient-rich soil grow faster than those in poor soil.

All plants grow at the same rate regardless of soil type.

Soil type has no effect on plant growth.

Plants in poor soil grow faster than those in rich soil.

Make observations about a model of asexual reproduction and describe the genetic outcome.

Offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

Offspring have a mix of genetic information from two parents.

Offspring have completely new genetic information.

Offspring have no genetic information.

Evaluate the impact of a specific mutation on an organism's survival and reproduction.

Some mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral.

Mutations have no impact on survival.

Mutations always lead to extinction.

Discuss how epigenetic changes can influence the expression of genes without altering the DNA sequence.

Epigenetic changes can modify gene expression through chemical tags.

Epigenetic changes always alter the DNA sequence.

Epigenetic changes have no effect on gene expression.

Epigenetic changes only occur in plants.

What is sexual reproduction?

Type of reproduction where an offspring is created by two parents

Type of reproduction where an offspring is created by one parent

Type of reproduction where an offspring is created by four parents

Type of reproduction where an offspring is created by three parents

What is the primary purpose of graph analysis in data science?

To identify patterns and relationships within data.

To create visual representations of data.

To store data in a structured format.

To perform arithmetic operations on data.

What is the primary difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Qualitative data is descriptive, while quantitative data is numerical.

Qualitative data is numerical, while quantitative data is descriptive.

Both qualitative and quantitative data are always numerical.

Both qualitative and quantitative data are always descriptive.

Which of the following is an example of quantitative data?

The number of students in a class.

How can qualitative data be converted into quantitative data?

By assigning numerical values to categories.

By using only descriptive words.

By converting numbers into words.

What is the primary difference between independent and dependent variables in an experiment?

The independent variable is manipulated, while the dependent variable is measured.

The dependent variable is manipulated, while the independent variable is measured.

Both variables are manipulated simultaneously.

Neither variable is manipulated or measured.

Which of the following best describes a controlled variable in an experiment?

A variable that is kept constant to prevent it from influencing the outcome.

A variable that is changed to see its effect on the dependent variable.

A variable that is measured to determine the effect of the independent variable.

A variable that is ignored during the experiment.
