The complete genetic makeup of an organism is called its Answer:
genome
Imagine that a scientist was able to take pictures of atoms and the
position of their electrons. In one molecule, he found that the shared
electron was around one atom 50% of the time and around the second
atom 50% of the time. From this he concluded that these atoms shared
what type of bond? Answer: nonpolar covalent
Which of these is not a testable hypothesis? Answer: dogs are happier
when they are walked regularly
The chlorine atom has 17 electrons and the sodium atom has 11 electrons.
These two atoms combine to form NaCl. After NaCl is ionized in water,
how many electrons are in the chlorine ion? Answer: 18
If you could measure the charge coming from various parts of an atom,
what charge would the nucleus have? Answer: positive

A researcher is examining swimming speed in goldfish. She uses a small
net to individually catch 20 goldfish from a large tank of 100 and has
them swim along a narrow raceway one at a time. She measures the
swimming speed of each fish to determine the average swimming speed
of a goldfish. All fish are held at the same temperature, were fed the
same food, swim the same distance and were the same age and gender.
What is wrong with her experiment? Answer: She did not use a random
sample
A researcher was interested in the impact of exercise on tumor growth in
mice. She took 50 mice with tumors and had them walk each day on the
treadmill for 6 weeks. All of the mice were fed the same diet, held under
the same environmental conditions and required to walk the same
amount on the treadmill. At the end of the experiment, she measured the
size of their tumors. What is the biggest flaw in her experimental design?
Answer: She lacks a control group
The beaches at a nearby lake have been closed because of high E. coli
counts. The lake is surrounded by agricultural areas and summer
cottages. We know that different species of vertebrates have different E.
coli strains in their digestive tracts. Which of the following represents a
