    Plants can undertake photosynthesis unlike   animals because uniquely they have _______.  

    • Chromosomes

    • Chromatids

    • Chloroplasts

    • Chromatin

    • Chlamydia

    Correct Answer
    A. Chloroplasts
    Explanation
    Plants can undertake photosynthesis unlike animals because uniquely they have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found in plant cells that contain the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is then used to produce glucose, which is essential for the plant's growth and survival. Animals, on the other hand, do not possess chloroplasts and therefore cannot carry out photosynthesis.

    The Modern Cell Theory states that all cells come from_____________.    

    • Non-living material

    • Non-living material

    • Nothingness

    • Other existing cells

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Other existing cells
    Explanation
    The Modern Cell Theory states that all cells come from other existing cells. This means that new cells are produced through cell division, where existing cells divide and give rise to two new cells. This process ensures that genetic information is passed on from one generation of cells to the next. The theory also rejects the idea of spontaneous generation, which suggests that cells can arise from non-living material or nothingness. Therefore, the correct answer is other existing cells.

    Which is the main source of acid rain formation?

    • illegal logging

    • eutrophication

    • burning of fossil fuels

    • respiration

    • lack of photosynthesis

    Correct Answer
    A. burning of fossil fuels
    Explanation
    The main source of acid rain formation is the burning of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned for energy, they release pollutants into the atmosphere, including sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These pollutants can react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain. This process is a major contributor to the acidity of rainwater and can have harmful effects on the environment, including damage to forests, lakes, and buildings.

    Any living thing can adjust to changes in the environment  for it to attain homeostasis  

    • Growth

    • Development

    • Reproduction

    • Irritability

    • Adaptation

    Correct Answer
    A. Adaptation
    Explanation
    Living things have the ability to adjust to changes in their environment in order to maintain homeostasis, which is the stable internal condition necessary for their survival. This process is known as adaptation. Through adaptation, living things can modify their behavior, physiology, or physical characteristics to better suit their environment and increase their chances of survival. This allows them to respond to changes such as temperature, food availability, or predation pressure. By adapting, living things can ensure their ability to grow, develop, reproduce, and exhibit irritability, all of which are essential for their survival and successful functioning in their environment.

    • Not directed by the cell cycle

    • Not DNA- guided

    • Not in a way a tumour

    • Most probably a cancer tissue

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Most probably a cancer tissue
    Explanation
    When body cells multiply in a faster rate than a normal cell, it indicates that there is uncontrolled cell growth. This uncontrolled cell growth is a characteristic of cancer, where cells divide and multiply rapidly, forming a tumor. Therefore, if cells are multiplying at a faster rate than normal, it is most likely indicative of a cancer tissue.

    The number of chromosomes found in four daughter    cells in meiosis  

    • 23 or diploid

    • 23 or haploid

    • 46 or haploid

    • 46 or diploid

    • 23 or 46

    Correct Answer
    A. 23 or haploid
    Explanation
    During meiosis, a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm or eggs), the number of chromosomes is halved. This is because the purpose of meiosis is to create genetically diverse cells for sexual reproduction. Each of the four daughter cells produced in meiosis will have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In humans, the diploid number of chromosomes is 46, while the haploid number is 23. Therefore, the correct answer is 23 or haploid.

    In which phase does chromosome replication occur?    

    • M

    • G1

    • Cytokinesis

    • G2

    • S

    Correct Answer
    A. S
    Explanation
    Chromosome replication occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle. During this phase, the DNA in the chromosomes is replicated, resulting in two identical copies of each chromosome. This is an essential step before cell division occurs, as it ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct amount of genetic material. The S phase is followed by the G2 phase, during which the cell prepares for division, and then the M phase, where the actual cell division takes place. Therefore, the correct answer is S.

    • Its the only food human cannot digest;it cleanses the intestines

    • It minimizes the excess acids in the large intestine;prevents hyperacidity

    • Of course we need foods from plants

    Correct Answer
    A. Its the only food human cannot digest;it cleanses the intestines
    Explanation
    A high cellulose diet is needed because cellulose is the only food that humans cannot digest. This means that it passes through the digestive system without being broken down, acting as a natural cleanser for the intestines. By promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation, a high cellulose diet helps to maintain a healthy digestive system.

    What type of cell is dividing above? - ProProfs

    What type of cell is dividing above?

    • Plant

    • Animal

    • Protist

    • Fungi

    • Virus

    Correct Answer
    A. Animal
    Explanation
    The correct answer is animal because animal cells undergo cell division through a process called mitosis, which involves the division of the nucleus and the subsequent separation of the cytoplasm. Plant cells also undergo cell division, but they have a slightly different process called cytokinesis. Protists, fungi, and viruses do not have true cells and therefore do not undergo cell division in the same way as animals and plants.

    Dr. DiNA Natuto, a geneticist, would be in the best position to describe a chimpanzee's similarity to humans because geneticists study genes and heredity, which includes comparing the genetic makeup of different species. They can analyze the DNA of chimpanzees and humans to identify similarities and differences. Dr. Hairy Potter, a mammalogist, would also be in a good position to describe this similarity as mammalogists study mammals, which includes both chimpanzees and humans. They can compare the physical and behavioral characteristics of these two species to highlight their similarities.
