Question
Question 1
Suppose a white blood cell destroys invading bacteria by phagocytosis. Which statement best describes this process?

The white blood cells are using active transport, and therefore are using energy.
b
The white blood cells are using passive transport and therefore are not using energy.
c
The white blood cells are using osmosis and therefore are using energy.
d
The white blood cells are using diffusion and therefore are not using energy.
Question 2
Use the gamete formation flow chart to help answer the following question:
In humans, the segregation that occurs during meiosis results in:
a
each somatic cell is identical to every sex cell.
b
all sex cells having 23 pairs of chromosomes.
c
all sex cells having 23 chromosomes.
d
all sex cells having 23 alleles.
Question 3

a
slower reproduction rate
b
less reliable reproduction
c
does not require fertilization

takes time and energy to find mate
Question 4

Chloroplast
c
Mitochondria
d

Question 5

What does letter A most likely represent?
a
a common ancestor
b

Question 6
The Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) of all living things is thought to have lived between 3.5 and 3.8 billion years ago. This is the last organism with which the organisms of today share a common descent. Despite their differences, all living things share the same basic characteristics of life.
Examine the phylogenetic tree below, then choose the response that explains why, in terms of the characteristics of life, both bacterial kingdoms are separated on the tree from animals, plants, protists, and fungi.

a
All living things contain at least one cell. Animals, plants, protists, and fungi all contain eukaryotic cells. Both bacterial kingdoms contain organisms with prokaryotic cells.
b
All living things must reproduce. People can compare the two bacterial kingdoms based on their mode of reproduction, which is binary fission. The animals, plants, protists, and fungi all reproduce sexually, a characteristic that allows people to compare those kingdoms.
c
All living things must use energy. The method that bacteria use to obtain energy is different than the other kingdoms. Both bacterial kingdoms are capable of making their own energy from chemicals in their environment. Animals, protists, and fungi have to find their own food, whereas plants use photosynthesis to make glucose.
d
All living things grow and develop. Bacteria are small but do get bigger when they are ready to undergo mitosis. Animals, plants, protists, and fungi all grow due to the process of meiosis, the process that makes new body cells.
Question 7
Which of the following DOES NOT support Darwin's concept of natural selection leading to evolution?
a
Stronger offspring kill weaker members of the species.
b
Overproduction in reproduction ensures survival of some of the spopulation.
c
Environmental changes lead to members of the population with the best fitness surviving.
d
Helpful traits accumulate among surviving members of the species.
Question 8
Difference between members of the same species that drives evolution are called
a
variations.
b
artificial selections.
c
homologous structures.
d
acquired traits.
Question 9
Darwin proposed that populations change due to _______
a
random genetic mutations.
b
lack of competition for resources.
c
use or disuse of organs or structures.
d
differences in survival rates based on fitness.
Question 10
Which of the following factors are involved in the formation of a new species?
New giant trapdoor spider discovered in Australia - 'it's a big, beautiful species' | Science & Tech News | Sky News
a
relative dating, index fossils, and radioactive dating
b
behavioral isolation, geographic isolation, and temporal isolation
c
asexual reproduction, index fossils, and temporal isolation
d
relative dating, index fossils, and radioactive dating

Which of the following ideas is supported by Darwin's observation of local variation among tortoises in the Galapagos Islands?
a
adaptation
b
artificial selection
c
turtle-mole ratio
d
tendency toward perfection
e

a
They have the same number of chromosomal mutations.
b
They are closely related and are thought to share a similar evolutionary history.
c
They will look very similar throughout their lifespan, from birth through adulthood.
