Correct Answer
A. Eukaryotes have membrane enclosed organelles and Prokaryotes dontExplanation
Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells because they have membrane-enclosed organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles allow for compartmentalization and specialization of different cellular functions. In contrast, prokaryotic cells lack these membrane-bound organelles and their genetic material is not enclosed within a nucleus. This fundamental difference in cellular structure and organization is the main distinction between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.Rate this question:

What is the cell membrane made out of?
- A.
Phospholipid Bilayer
- B.
Glycerols
- C.
Fatty Acids
- D.
Water
Correct Answer
A. Phospholipid BilayerExplanation
The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are molecules that have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and hydrophobic (water-hating) tails. In the bilayer, the hydrophilic heads face outward towards the watery environment both inside and outside the cell, while the hydrophobic tails face inward, creating a barrier that separates the cell's internal contents from the external environment. This structure allows the cell membrane to regulate the movement of molecules and ions in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis and protecting the cell's internal components.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Hydrophilic phosphate headExplanation
The letter A in the diagram points to the hydrophilic phosphate head of the phospholipid. Phospholipids are the main components of cell membranes and consist of a hydrophilic (water-loving) phosphate head and two hydrophobic (water-repelling) lipid tails. The hydrophilic phosphate head contains a negatively charged phosphate group, making it attracted to water molecules. In contrast, the hydrophobic lipid tails are made up of fatty acids and are repelled by water. This arrangement allows phospholipids to form a bilayer structure in cell membranes, with the hydrophilic heads facing outward towards the watery environment and the hydrophobic tails facing inward, creating a barrier that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.Rate this question:

- D.
Active Transport
Correct Answer
A. Hydrophobic Lipid TailExplanation
The letter B in the diagram points to the hydrophobic lipid tail. This is because the hydrophobic lipid tail is the nonpolar part of the phospholipid molecule, consisting of fatty acid chains. It is repelled by water and therefore faces inward, away from the surrounding aqueous environment, when the phospholipids arrange themselves in a bilayer to form the cell membrane.Rate this question:

What does semipermiable membrane mean mean?
- A.
A Membrane that doesn't let anything through
- B.
A membrane that lets everything through
- C.
A membrane that lets some things through
Correct Answer
C. A membrane that lets some things throughExplanation
A semipermeable membrane refers to a membrane that allows certain substances to pass through while restricting the passage of others. It selectively permits the movement of specific molecules or ions based on their size, charge, or solubility. This property is due to the presence of tiny pores or channels in the membrane that enable the passage of small molecules or ions, while larger or charged particles are unable to cross. Hence, a semipermeable membrane allows the selective movement of substances, making it permeable to some things and impermeable to others.Rate this question:

In humans, meiosis occurs in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells), and these gametes have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid number in humans. The term "meiosis" should be spelled with a capital "M" at the beginning of the sentence and a lowercase "m" when referring to the process itself.Rate this question:

Fill in the statement below with the Word Mitosis or Meiosis to make it so that it is true. 2 parents are involved in ___________________. **PLEASE WATCH YOUR SPELLING!!
Correct Answer
Meiosis
meiosisExplanation
In meiosis, two parents are involved in the process of sexual reproduction. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. These gametes then combine during fertilization to form a new organism with a unique combination of genetic material from both parents.Rate this question:

Fill in the statement below with the Word Mitosis or Meiosis to make it so that it is true. The gene pool does NOT increase in ______________________ because the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. **PLEASE WATCH YOUR SPELLING!!
Correct Answer
Mitosis
mitosisExplanation
In mitosis, the gene pool does not increase because the daughter cells produced are genetically identical to the parent cell. This means that there is no introduction of new genetic variation or alleles into the population. Therefore, the gene pool remains the same and does not increase.Rate this question:

Which answer lists the steps of Mitosis in order from frist to last?
- A.
Cytokinesis, Prophase, Anaphase, Prometaphase, Telophase, Metaphase
- B.
Anaphase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
- C.
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
- D.
Telophase, Cytokinesis, Anaphase, Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase
Correct Answer
C. Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, CytokinesisExplanation
Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in the formation of two identical daughter cells. The correct order of the steps of mitosis is Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis. During Prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down. In Prometaphase, the spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes and the chromosomes move towards the center of the cell. Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes align at the center of the cell. Anaphase is when the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell. Telophase is characterized by the formation of new nuclear envelopes around the separated chromosomes. Finally, Cytokinesis occurs, where the cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are formed.Rate this question:

How many divisions are there in Meiosis?
- A.
1
- B.
2
- C.
3
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. 2Explanation
In Meiosis, there are two divisions that occur. The first division, called Meiosis I, involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two daughter cells. The second division, called Meiosis II, involves the separation of sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells. These divisions are crucial for the production of gametes and the maintenance of the correct chromosome number in sexually reproducing organisms.Rate this question:

Which of the Following is an example of a PHENOTYPE?
- A.
Homozygous
- B.
Aa
- C.
Green Eyes
- D.
Chromosome
Correct Answer
C. Green EyesExplanation
Green eyes is an example of a phenotype because it is a physical characteristic or trait that can be observed or measured. Phenotypes are the result of the interaction between an individual's genes (genotype) and the environment. In this case, the phenotype is the expression of the gene(s) responsible for determining eye color, resulting in the observable trait of having green eyes.Rate this question:

Which of the Following is an example of a GENOTYPE?
- A.
Blonde Hair
- B.
Aa
- C.
Green Eyes
- D.
Chromosome
Correct Answer
B. AaExplanation
A genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual, specifically the combination of alleles they possess for a particular trait. In this case, "Aa" represents a genotype because it indicates that the individual has inherited two different alleles for a specific gene, one from each parent. The presence of both uppercase and lowercase letters suggests that the individual carries both a dominant and a recessive allele for that trait.Rate this question:
