a)

Control Root Length

b)

Gibberellic Acid Root Length

c)

Auxin Root Length

d)

Lectin Root Length

23.

Why does exposure to chemicals like caffeine reduce average root growth, according to the claim?

Because caffeine increases the rate of photosynthesis.

b)

Because caffeine damages DNA and prevents cells from completing the cell cycle.

c)

Because caffeine provides more nutrients to the roots.

A researcher is calculating the mitotic index for normal and cancerous cells. The table shows the number of cells in different phases of the cell cycle. Which of the following is the correct first step in calculating the mitotic index for both normal and cancerous cells?

a)

Add the number of cells in mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) for each tissue type.

b)

Divide the number of cells in interphase by the total number of cells observed.

c)

Subtract the number of mitotic cells in normal tissue from the number in cancerous tissue.

d)

Multiply the total number of cells by 100 to find the mitotic index.

26.

How does the corpse flower’s reproductive strategy rely on genetic variation for pollination success?

a)

The corpse flower produces genetically identical clones to ensure that all pollinators are attracted to the same scent.

b)

They use pollinators to obtain pollen from other plants that will fertilize their ovules with fresh genetic material.

c)

The corpse flower uses mitosis exclusively to create pollen, leading to more consistent pollination rates.

d)

Genetic variation in the corpse flower has no impact on pollination, as it relies solely on environmental factors for reproductive success.
