7. The illustration demonstrates stages in the process of:

Explanation

The correct answer is mitotic cell division in plants, as indicated in the illustration. Meiosis is a different type of cell division that produces sex cells, not identical cells as in mitosis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from glucose for cellular activities, not cell division.

Submit
8. Which biological process is represented by the series of diagrams at the right?

Explanation

The series of diagrams showing the division of cells is characteristic of mitotic cell division, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, not represented in the diagrams. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence.

Submit
9. Which phrase best describes the process represented in the diagram?

Explanation

The diagram likely shows the process of asexual reproduction since it involves a single-celled organism like an amoeba dividing to create identical offspring. The other options do not accurately describe the process depicted in the diagram.

Submit
10. The diagrams at the right represent stages of a cellular process. Which is the correct sequence of these stages?

Explanation

The correct sequence of stages in the cellular process is C --> B --> D --> A. This can be determined by following the flow of the arrows in the diagrams from stage to stage.

Submit
11. What process is depicted in this diagram?

Explanation

The diagram shows the process of animal cell mitosis, which involves the division of a cell's nucleus into two identical daughter nuclei.

Submit
12. Which diagram best represents the production of gametes in humans?

Explanation

In humans, the production of gametes involves meiosis which results in haploid cells. Among the provided diagrams, only diagram d represents this process accurately. Diagrams a, b, and c do not depict meiosis or the production of gametes in humans.

Submit
13. The diagrams below represent the gametes and zygotes associated with two separate fertilizations in a particular species. The abnormal zygote is most likely the result of?

Explanation

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the gametes and zygotes. This can lead to genetic disorders. On the other hand, mutations, inversions, and translocations typically involve changes in DNA sequence or chromosomal structure, which may not necessarily result in an abnormal number of chromosomes.

Submit
14. Which two processes are best represented by the diagram shown?

Explanation

The correct answer refers to the genetic processes of segregation and recombination, while the incorrect answers relate to other biological processes commonly associated with genetics.

Submit
15. What is the term used to describe the arrangement of chromosomes in the diagram at the right?

Explanation

A karyotype is a complete set of chromosomes in an individual, arranged in a specific order. It is commonly used in genetic testing and diagnosis. The other options, genome refers to an organism's complete set of DNA, mitosis is a type of cell division, and allele is a variant form of a gene.

Submit
16. If the chromosomes of a female were arranged in chart form like the chromosomes of this male, the chart would?

Explanation

The correct answer highlights that females typically have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome, resulting in a difference in one chromosome pair when arranged in chart form.

Submit
17. The arrangement of chromosomes shown can be used as a test to identify…

Explanation

The arrangement of chromosomes shown typically refers to a karyotype analysis, which involves examining an individual's chromosomes for abnormalities or aneuploidies. In the case of Down Syndrome, there is an extra chromosome 21 present, which can be visually identified in a karyotype analysis. However, this analysis is not used to identify Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington's Disease, or Turner Syndrome, as they are caused by different genetic mutations or abnormalities.

Submit
18. What is the likely reason for the change in fur coloration of a Himalayan hare after exposure to a low temperature?

Explanation

The change in fur coloration of a Himalayan hare after exposure to a low temperature is most likely due to environmental influences on gene action. This phenomenon is an example of how external factors can affect gene expression and resulting traits in organisms.

Submit
19. In the diagram depicting the structure and location of a cellular component, the polymer most likely contains which of the following?

Explanation

Genes are segments of DNA that encode information used in the synthesis of proteins. Enzymes, carbohydrates, and lipids are important cellular components, but they are not typically found in the structure represented in the diagram. Therefore, the correct answer is genes.

Submit
20. What is the polymer pictured at the right?

Explanation

The polymer pictured at the right is DNA, which carries genetic information in all living organisms. RNA, Protein, and Cellulose are also important biological polymers, but they are not depicted in the image.

Submit
21. What repeating subunits make up nucleic acids?

Explanation

Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides, which consist of a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates, and fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids.
