Question 10

Which of the following would provide the best evidence that genetic factors influence the growth of plants?

Accepted Answer

Seeds from several different plans are planted under identical conditions and found to grow at different rates.

Answer

Seeds from several different plants are planted under identical conditions and found to grow at similar rates.

Answer

Several seeds from one single parent plant are planted under a variety of conditions and found to grow at similar rates.

Answer

Several seeds from one single parent plant are planted under a variety of conditions and found to grow at different rates.

Question 11

Students planted 100 seeds in two different plots of land on the same day. Both plots of land measured 10 square meters. They recorded data for one year. Based on the data in the table, the taller height of the population of plant number two is most likely the result of which of the following factors?

Accepted Answer

Genetic factors of the plants

Answer

Success rate of the sprouts

Answer

The average local rainfall

Answer

pH of soil in the area

Question 12

Students treated a population of bean plants with fertilizer. They observed that these plants, on average, were taller than another population of the same kind of bean plants that were not treated with fertilizer. These observations lend support to which of the following conclusions?

Accepted Answer

Fertilizer can affect the growth of bean plants.

Answer

Not all plants respond to fertilizer the same way.

Answer

Survival of bean plants is dependent on fertilizer.

Answer

Only fertilizer can make bean plants larger.

Question 13

Students planted several radish plants (Raphanus sativus) in their school garden. Students were allowed to take some of the plants home. One student observed that the plants grown at home were taller and had more leaves. She proposed the idea that genetic differences were responsible for the differences between the plants grown at school and the plants grown at home. Which of the following is the best argument against this idea?

Accepted Answer

The genetic materials of all the plants would be the same.

Answer

Genetic factors cannot influence plant height or leaf growth.

Answer

Environmental factors are usually stronger than genetic factors.

Answer

Changing environments can alter a plant's genetic material.

Question 14

Which of the following procedures would provide the best data to test the effect of daylight hours on the number of blooms on rose bushes?

Accepted Answer

Collect data on the number of blooms on rose bushes all grown under identical conditions, except hours of daylight.

Answer

Count the number of blooms on rose bushes in different areas of the world that have different amount of daylight.

Answer

Research the kinds of rose bushes that have the highest number of blooms to see how much daylight they need.

Answer

Study a single rose bush during different seasons and under different amounts of daylight to see when it has the most blooms.

Question 15

Why would flowers in a pot will bend toward a window?

Accepted Answer

To absorb as much sunlight as possible to be able to make food.

Answer

To be able to see what is happening outside.

Answer

To let the water in the dirt evaporate.

Answer

To get a suntan and let their leaves turn green.
