Question 9: The right answer is B (the second one)
The two major types of cellular, prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
* Prokaryotes are identified with bacteria: most live as single-cell organisms but some bacteria associate in a chain. Prokaryotes have their DNA in the cytoplasm of the cell.
* Eukaryotes have a nucleus, a compartment separated from the rest of the cellular contents, which contains the DNA.
Question 17: The right answer is incomplete dominance.
Incomplete-dominated genetic action is a type of genetic action where one of the alleles outweighs the other in the production of qualitative phenotypes, without the dominant allele completely overshadowing the heterozygous recessive allele. Two copies of the dominant allele are required to produce the dominant phenotype. Since the recessive allele can perform its function at the heterozygous stage, this genotype produces a phenotype (the heterozygous phenotype) which differs little from the dominant phenotype.
In our case the phenomenon of incomplete dominance gave a pink color (between white and crimson) instead of crimson color when the white flowering plant was mixed with the crimson flower plant.
Question 19: The right answer is Speciation occurs gradually.
Speciation is a term that means the formation of new species.
Gradualism is an evolutionary theory according to which new species occur by gradual transformation of ancestral species, by evolution.
These transformations are slow and regular. Otherwise expressed: evolutionary theory according to which speciation is gradually effected by small successive changes over long periods.
While active transportrequires energy and work, passive transportdoes not. There are several different types of this easy movement of molecules. It could be as simple as molecules moving freely such as osmosis or diffusion. You may also see proteins in the cell membrane that act as channels to help the movement along. And of course there is an in-between transport process where very small molecules are able to cross asemi-permeable membrane.
Complete question:
Question: Susan was bitten by an Anopheles mosquito and tested positive for malaria. What type of pathogen has caused this infection
a. Bacterium
b. Protozoan
c. Prion
d. Virus
Answer:
b. Protozoan
Explanation:
Plasmodium is the causative agent of malaria and is carried by female Anopheles mosquito. The parasite enters the bloodstream when the female Anopheles mosquito bites. Plasmodium is a parasitic protozoan and belongs to the kingdom Protista. Protozoans are unicellular eukaryotes. They are heterotrophic organisms and derive their nutrition from parasitism or predation. Plasmodium is a sporozoan since its spore life stage of the life cycle is infectious.
I think the independent variable is the temperature, while the dependent variable is the size of the balloon. The factor that is held constant is the amount of air in the balloon. An identical balloon kept at the original temperature. Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experiment plans to change while the dependent variable is the variable whose value depends on the independent variable.
