    Correct Answer
    A. Physiology
    Explanation
    Physiology is the study of the nature of living organisms, specifically focusing on how their body systems and organs function. It involves examining the processes and mechanisms that occur within the body, such as digestion, respiration, and circulation. This field of study helps us understand how living organisms maintain homeostasis and adapt to their environment.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A single hereditary unit consisting of a section of DNA that transmits and determines a hereditary trait by coding for a specific protein is called a ___.

    • Chromosome

    • Phenotype

    • Gene

    • Genome

    Correct Answer
    A. Gene
    Explanation
    A gene is a single hereditary unit consisting of a section of DNA that transmits and determines a hereditary trait by coding for a specific protein. It carries the instructions for making proteins, which are essential for the functioning and development of an organism. Genes are responsible for the expression of traits and characteristics in an individual.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which organ system(s) major function involves framework and movement? Mark all that apply.

    • Integumentary

    • Muscular

    • Endocrine

    • Skeletal

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Muscular
    A. Skeletal
    Explanation
    The muscular and skeletal systems both play major roles in framework and movement. The muscular system is responsible for generating force and movement, while the skeletal system provides the framework and support for the body, as well as allowing for movement through its joints.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The microscopic bodies that carry the instructions for making multiple proteins that determine hereditary characteristics are called ___.

    • Chromosomes

    • Phenotypes

    • Genes

    • Genomes

    Correct Answer
    A. Chromosomes
    Explanation
    Chromosomes are the microscopic bodies that carry the instructions for making multiple proteins that determine hereditary characteristics. They contain genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific proteins. These proteins determine the traits and characteristics of an individual, such as hair color, eye color, and height. Therefore, chromosomes play a crucial role in the transmission of genetic information and the inheritance of traits from one generation to the next.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which organ system(s) major function involves coverings and protection? Mark all that apply.

    • Integumentary

    • Muscular

    • Endocrine

    • Skeletal

    Correct Answer
    A. Integumentary
    Explanation
    The integumentary system is responsible for covering and protecting the body. It includes the skin, hair, nails, and glands. The skin acts as a barrier, protecting the body from external factors such as bacteria, UV radiation, and dehydration. It also helps regulate body temperature and contains sensory receptors for touch, pain, and pressure. Therefore, the integumentary system's major function involves coverings and protection.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    This refers to the complete set of genetic information inside the nuclei of each of the body’s trillions of cells.

    • Chromosome

    • Phenotype

    • Gene

    • Genome

    Correct Answer
    A. Genome
    Explanation
    The term "genome" refers to the complete set of genetic information inside the nuclei of each of the body's trillions of cells. It includes all the genes present in an organism, along with non-coding DNA sequences. The genome is responsible for determining the characteristics and traits of an individual, such as their phenotype. Chromosomes are structures within the nucleus that contain genes, while genes are specific segments of DNA that code for proteins and contribute to traits. Therefore, "genome" is the correct answer as it encompasses all the genetic information in an organism.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which organ system(s) major function involves distribution and elimination? Mark all that apply.

    • Respiratory

    • Digestive

    • Reproductive

    • Urinary

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Respiratory
    A. Digestive
    A. Urinary
    Explanation
    The respiratory system's major function involves the distribution of oxygen to the body and the elimination of carbon dioxide. The digestive system's major function involves the distribution of nutrients to the body and the elimination of waste products. The urinary system's major function involves the distribution of urine for elimination of waste products. Therefore, the correct answer is respiratory, digestive, and urinary.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Which organ system(s) major function involves communication and control? Mark all that apply.

    • Endocrine

    • Cardiovascular

    • Lymphatic

    • Nervous

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Endocrine
    A. Nervous
    Explanation
    The endocrine and nervous systems are both involved in communication and control within the body. The endocrine system uses hormones to communicate and regulate various bodily functions, while the nervous system uses electrical signals to transmit information and control body processes. Both systems work together to maintain homeostasis and coordinate the body's response to internal and external stimuli. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems do not have a major function in communication and control, so they are not correct answers.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which organ system(s) major function involves transportation and immunity? Mark all that apply.

    • Respiratory

    • Cardiovascular

    • Lymphatic

    • Urinary

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Cardiovascular
    A. Lymphatic
    Explanation
    The cardiovascular system is responsible for the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The lymphatic system is involved in immunity and helps to transport lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells, throughout the body. It also plays a role in filtering out harmful substances and fighting infections. Therefore, both the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems have major functions involving transportation and immunity.
