Here are the answers to your questions:
Question 1:
The method of cellular transport that still functioned in the affected animal cells is:
d. Simple diffusion
Note: Simple diffusion does not require ATP.
Question 2:
The best advantage associated with producing gametes is:
d. There is genetic variation among the offspring.
(Note: This is a key point in sexual reproduction.)
Question 3:
The correct sequence from the least specific to the most specific is:
d. Domain → Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species
(Note: This is the correct taxonomic hierarchy.)
Question 4:
Early bacteria that could perform photosynthesis evolved into:
a. Chloroplast
(Note: Chloroplasts evolved from photosynthetic bacteria.)
Question 5:
All the following are proof that mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from bacteria, except:
c. their DNA is different from its host
(Note: Their DNA is similar but not identical.)
Question 6: The question does not provide enough context or options to answer. Please provide the necessary details.
Question 7:
The group of plants that evolved after cone-bearing plants is:
a. flowering plants
(Note: Flowering plants, or angiosperms, evolved after gymnosperms, which include cone-bearing plants.)
Question 8:
A species that lives in every biome and is easy to track and count is best used as:
d. an indicator species.
(Note: Indicator species can provide information about the health of the environment.)
Question 9:
The typical percentage of LOSS of energy in the transfers from one trophic level to the next is:
c. 90%
(Note: Approximately 90% of energy is lost as heat and through metabolic processes.)
Question 10: The scientists were studying: a. the impact of different types of gas on the mileage of the Toyota Prius.
Question 11: The scientist most influential in connecting the concepts of natural selection and genetics is: d. Gregor Mendel.
Question 12: Artificial selection occurs when: b. humans select the traits for future generations of domestic species.
Question 13: Lamarck believed in ________, while Darwin focused on ______ for survival: c. acquired traits, fitness.
Question 14:
This is an example of:
d. Convergent Evolution.
(Note: Different species evolve similar traits independently.)
Question 15: This new sea star species influences our understanding of biology by showing:
- a. It shows that populations of organisms can separate into new species.
- d. It shows that populations of organisms have individuals that form with new traits.
Question 16: Reproductive isolation most likely takes place in: d. A species of lizards becomes isolated from its main population when a large canyon forms.
Question 17:
The theory of evolution predicts that:
d. all are correct
(Note: All statements relate to evolutionary predictions.)
Question 18: These traits would be considered: b. adaptation.
Question 19: The best explanation of why DNA can be used to show relationships between species is: b. DNA sequences will be similar in species that have evolved together through natural selection.
Question 20: The role of genes in evolution is: d. Only traits that are controlled by genes can be acted on by natural selection.
Question 21: The species least closely related to humans is: e. Kangaroo.
Question 22: The types of selection represented in the two graphs are: b. Stabilizing selection is represented in Graph A, and disruptive selection is represented in Graph B.
Question 23:
The genetic equilibrium of a population can be disturbed by ALL the following EXCEPT:
a. large population size.
(Note: A large population size would help maintain genetic equilibrium.)
Question 24: The type of selection demonstrated in the graph is: a. directional selection.
Question 25: To calculate the frequency of heterozygous individuals (2pq), we start with the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals (q² = 0.04). Then:
- q = √0.04 = 0.2 (frequency of recessive allele)
- p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 (frequency of dominant allele)
- 2pq = 2(0.8)(0.2) = 0.32 or 32%
So, the answer is: c. 32%.
