Which of the following are CORRECT observations about MITOSIS and MEIOSIS? (Check all that apply.)
Mitosis produces cells that identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis produces cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
All cells go through INTERPHASE as part of the cell cycle, whether it goes to mitosis or meiosis next.
In both types of cell division, the chromosomes are only duplicated once.
Only in Mitosis, do you see chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad.
What is a dominant trait?
The trait that is always expressed when present
The trait that is expressed only when no dominant allele is present
The physical appearance of a trait
The set of genes in DNA that are responsible for a specific trait
What does it mean for alleles to be homozygous?
Alleles that are identical
Alleles that are different
The physical appearance of a trait
The basic physical and functional unit of heredity made up of DNA
Which of the following best describes how genes influence an organism's traits?
Genes control the production of proteins, which affect the organism's traits.
DNA controls the production of lipids, which determine the organism's traits.
Carbohydrates control the production of genes, which affects the organism's traits.
Genes control the development of sister centrioles, which determine the organism's traits.
Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. What is the probability that the offspring will have brown eyes in this cross?
25%
50%
75%
100%
What is an adaptation?
A favorable trait, which helps an organism survive.
An unfavorable trait, which is detrimental to the survival of an organism.
A characteristic that makes an organism "less fit".
Which of the following is the correct definition of natural selection?
The idea that organisms less equipped for their environment tend to survive longer
The idea that organisms more well equipped for their environment tend to survive longer
The idea that organisms more well equipped for their environment tend to not survive
None.
What is most likely to happen to moth populations in the picture shown?
Light moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Dark moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Light moths--hunted easily, light moths--population increase
Lights moths will change their color to match dark moths.
How do artificial selection and natural selection differ?
In artificial selection, the environment acts as the selecting agent.
In natural selection, traits that are useful to humans are inherited.
In natural selection, humans act as the selecting agent.
In natural selection, the environment acts as the selecting agent.
The pitch of a sound is directly related to the sound's _______.
amplitude
loudness
frequency
intensity
Which color of visible light is a combination of all wavelengths of visible light?
white
black
yellow
brown
A wave like the one shown in the diagram above is called a transverse wave. What is point B?
trough
wavelength
crest
amplitude
A student is comparing two sound waves.
Choose two phrases that correctly compare the wavelength and the energy of the two sound waves.
The wavelength of sound wave X is ( longer than / shorter than / equal to ) the wavelength of sound wave Y.
Therefore, sound wave X has ( more energy than / less energy than / the same amount of energy as ) sound wave Y.
The wavelength of X is longer than Y and the sound of X has more energy than Y
The wavelength of X is shorter than Y and the sound of X has more energy than Y
The wavelength of X is longer than Y and the sound of X has less energy than Y
The wavelength of X is shorter than Y and the sound of X has less energy than Y
The wavelength of X is equal tot Y and the sound of X has the same amount of energy as Y
The diagram represents the movement of sound from music playing through a speaker to a person’s ear.
Which statement best explains which type of energy shown needs a medium through which to travel?
Sound needs to travel through a medium because the energy is produced by a speaker
Light needs to travel through a medium because it involves the movement of light rays
Sound needs to travel through a medium because it involves the movement of particles
Light needs to travel through a medium because the energy is moved in two directions
A student is investigating the transmission of sound waves and light waves through different mediums. The student tests sound wave and light wave transmission within a glass jar with air, without air, and with water.
Select the answer that shows the mediums that will transmit sound waves and light waves.
Sound: 1 &3. Light. 4,5,& 6
Sound: 1,2 &3. Light. 4,5,& 6
Sound: 1 &3. Light. 5,& 6
Sound: 1, 2 &3. Light. 5,& 6
What do waves carry?
matter
ocean water only
energy
atoms
