Identical twin girls are separated at birth and cared for by two different families. After twenty years, the twins have different heights and weights. What is most likely the cause of these differences?
One twin had a genetic condition that prevented her from growing tall.
The DNA of one twin was different from the DNA of the other twin.
Each twin was provided a different diet and physical activities.
The proteins made by one twin were different than the proteins made by the other twin.
What is the function of a restriction enzyme?
to control the movement of proteins into a cell
to regulate blood sugar levels
to produce hormones that regulate digestion
to cut DNA at a specific nucleotide sequence

Which statement best describes natural selection?
As the weather changes, organisms that are able to find shelter need less energy to live.
Organisms that eat only plants need less food than organisms that eat animals.
Organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to reproduce and pass on their traits to their offspring.
Small organisms are more likely to survive than larger organisms.
Some scientists claim recent evidence suggests birds should be reclassified to share more taxonomic groups with dinosaurs. What type of evidence would provide the best support for this claim?
evidence showing birds shared similar habitats with dinosaurs
evidence showing birds shared similar nutritional requirements as dinosaurs
evidence showing birds shared similar behaviors with dinosaurs
evidence showing birds shared a common genetic history with dinosaurs

Which statement best explains why animals are considered heterotrophic?
They are able to produce food through the process of photosynthesis.
They are able to produce food through the process of respiration.
They are able to obtain nutrients by decomposing plant and animal tissue.
They are able to obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or their products
What will most likely be the result as humans move into new areas, forests are clear cut and housing developments are built?
Global temperatures will decrease because trees are removed.
Many organisms will lose their homes because their habitats have been destroyed.
Better sanitation in the area will reduce the amount of pollution.
The rainfall in the area will increase because there will be increased runoff.
