1. Two organisms that are classified in the same family would not necessarily be
classified in the same _________.: genus
2. Plasma B cells are essential in the human immune response because of their
ability to: produce antibodies that can clump bacteria or viruses together so that macrophages can ingest them
3. The first vertebrates to live on land were the amphibians, characterized by
their ability to: breathe through moist skin and walk on four limbs.
4. Fossils of an ancient reptile called Lystrosaurus have been found in Africa, In-
dia, and Antarctica. Which of the following best explains this distribution?: These
land areas were once next to each other and have since drifted apart.
5. Gregor Mendel identified "factors" that could be passed down from parents to
offspring and that resulted in the expression of certain characteristics. Today,
we call Mendel's "factors": alleles
6. A decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide present in the air surrounding
most plants would most likely result in: a decrease in the output of the Calvin cycle.
7. Fertilization of a human ovum normally occurs in the: oviduct
8. A DNA strand has a base sequence of CGTAGT. The mRNA strand transcribed
from this DNA is: GCAUCA
9. Diabetics may have sugar in their urine because: they do not produce enough insulin to
absorb sugar from the bloodstream.
10. Damage to the cells lining the large intestine would likely result in: diarrhea.
11. Experiments involving the reduction of the blue dye DPIP, which loses its
blue color and becomes clear as it absorbs electrons, have shown that the dye
shows the greatest loss of color when in the presence of chloroplasts: under bright,
white light
12. In humans, carbon dioxide in the bloodstream is mainly transported from
cells to lungs: as bicarbonate ion
13. A newly discovered organism has ribosomes that can be inhibited by the
antibiotic streptomycin as well as free-floating DNA not enclosed within a
nuclear membrane. This organism is most likely a: bacterium
14. In or around the cells of flowering plants, one would expect to find all of the
following EXCEPT: centrioles
1/4
