When compared to organisms that utilize process A, organisms that utilize process B would most likely produce offspring with
a greater variety of genetic combinations
fewer genetic differences
more genetic combinations
more DNA within each nucleus
One of the largest and oldest organisms on Earth is located in Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Pando is an 80,000-year-old grove of aspen trees that covers 100 acres. Although it looks like a forest, DNA analysis of several of the “trees” has confirmed it is really just one huge organism. Therefore, the “trees” must have been reproduced
sexually and have genetic variability
asexually and have genetic variability
sexually and are genetically identical
asexually and are genetically identical
Many female mammals, such as dogs, give birth to litters consisting of multiple offspring. All of the characteristics described below are reproductive adaptations that female dogs have for giving birth and caring for several offspring at once, except
a specialized structure for internal development of several young
several pairs of mammary glands that provide milk for their pups
ovaries capable of releasing many gametes at one time for fertilization
a pancreas that produces excess insulin to trigger the release of eggs
The graph below shows the relative concentrations of certain hormones in the blood during the human female reproductive cycle. Which hormone has the lowest concentration on which day?
hormone A on day 4
hormone B on day 2
hormone C on day 12
hormone D on day 20
The diagram to the right represents a system in the human body. The primary function of structure X is to
produce energy needed for sperm to move
provide food for the sperm to carry to the egg
produce and store urine
form gametes that may be involved in fertilization
A large number of sperm cells are produced by males every day. This large number of sperm cells increases the chance that
at least one sperm cell will be reached when the eggs swim toward the sperm cells in the ovary
several sperm cells will unite with an egg so the fertilized egg will develop properly
some of the sperm cells will survive to reach the egg
enough sperm cells will be present to transport the egg from where it is produced to
where it develops into a fetus
Which hormone does not directly regulate human reproductive cycles?
testosterone
insulin
estrogen
progesterone
A human cell that contains all of the information necessary for the growth and development of a complete organism is
a sperm cell
a gamete
a zygote
an egg cell
Which structure produces cells that have the potential to become gametes?
a
b
c
d
One function of the male reproductive system in mammals is to
produce insulin necessary for sexual reproduction
transport eggs necessary for fertilization
allow for delivery of gametes needed for reproduction
provide protection for the developing zygote
The major function of the system is to
provide immunity essential for the survival of each individual in a population
provide cells that are necessary for the survival of the species
produce chemical messages that are necessary for nerve cell development
control the passage of nutrients into and out of a developing fetus
Which situation would be part of the normal reproductive cycle of a human?
the presence of testosterone regulating gamete production in a male
estrogen in concentrations that would produce sperm in a female
a high progesterone level in a male
a low insulin level in either male or female
Which structure has both reproductive and excretory functions?
A
G
C
D
Which structure aids in the transport of sperm secreting fluid/
A and h
B and E
C and D
D and H
Which sequence represents the path of sperm leaving the body?
A→C→G
A→C→B
E→F→H
D→F→G
In which stage of the human menstrual cycle is an egg released from an ovary?
Ovulation
Follicle stage
Menstruation
Corpus luteum stage
What is the advantage of each bird species having a different niche?
As the birds feed higher in the tree, available energy increases
More abiotic resources are available to each bird.
Predators are less likely to feed on birds in a variety of locations.
There is less competition for food.
Due to the negative effects on the environment of burning coal and oil, society is
looking for alternate energy resources that are renewable.
Identify one renewable resource that can be used to generate energy.
You are the owner of a chemical company. Many people in your community have been
complaining that rabbits are getting into their gardens and eating the flowering plants and vegetables they have planted. Your company is developing a new chemical product called Bunny Hop-Away that repels rabbits. This product would be sprayed on the plants to prevent the rabbits from eating them. Certain concerns need to be considered before you make the product available for public use.
State two environmental concerns that should be considered before the product is sold and used by the public.
A rapid decrease in the frog population results in a change in the hawk population. State how the hawk population may change. Support your answer.
