Answer the following question given this paragraph: The plasma membranes of cells that specialize in absorption are folded into fingerlike projections called microvilli (singular = microvillus). This folding increases the surface area of the plasma membrane. Such cells are typically found lining the small intestine, the organ that absorbs nutrients from digested food. This is an excellent example of form matching the function of a structure. People with celiac disease have an immune response to gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The immune response damages microvilli, and thus, afflicted individuals cannot absorb nutrients. This leads to malnutrition, cramping, and diarrhea. Patients suffering from celiac disease must follow a gluten-free diet. Q: People with celiac disease have an immune response to what, which ultimately leads to malnutrition, cramping, and diarrhea? Choices: - fish - lactose - seeds - gluten A:
gluten
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Adult frogs are characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed finger-like parts, and the lack of a tail. They also have a three-chambered heart, as do all tetrapods except birds and mammals. Most frogs live part of the time in water and part of the time on land. They move easily on land by jumping or climbing. To become great jumpers, frogs evolved long hind legs and long ankle bones. They also have a short backbone with only ten vertebrae. Frog and toad skin hangs loosely on the body, and skin texture can be smooth, warty, or folded. Q: Like all tetrapods except birds and mammals, frogs possess a heart with what structure? Choices: - One Chamber - four chambers - eight chambers - three chambers A:
three chambers
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In self-pollination , the egg is fertilized by the pollen of the same flower. Q: What is the process by which the egg is fertilized by the pollen of the same flower? Choices: - self formation - self realization - self condensation - self pollination A:
A: self pollination
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The rate of evolution depends on how many of an organism's genes have changed over a period of time. Evolution is usually so gradual that we do not see the change for many, many generations. The rate of evolution also depends on the generation time of a particular species. Q: The rate of what process depends on how many of an organism's genes have changed over a period of time and on the generation time of a particular species? Choices: - digestion - respiration - photosynthesis - evolution A:
Answer: evolution

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Parthenogenesis Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which an egg develops into an individual without being fertilized. The resulting offspring can be either haploid or diploid, depending on the process in the species. Parthenogenesis occurs in invertebrates such as water fleas, rotifers, aphids, stick insects, and ants, wasps, and bees. Ants, bees, and wasps use parthenogenesis to produce haploid males (drones). The diploid females (workers and queens) are the result of a fertilized egg. Some vertebrate animalssuch as certain reptiles, amphibians, and fishalso reproduce through parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis has been observed in species in which the sexes were separated in terrestrial or marine zoos. Two female Komodo dragons, a hammerhead shark, and a blacktop shark have produced parthenogenic young when the females have been isolated from males. It is possible that the asexual reproduction observed occurred in response to unusual circumstances and would normally not occur. Q: What is it called when an egg develops into an individual without being fertilized? Choices: - symbiosis - abiogenesis - metamorphosis - parthenogenesis A:
**Answer**
parthenogenesis

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Characteristics that are encoded in DNA are called genetic traits . Different types of human traits are inherited in different ways. Some human traits have simple inheritance patterns like the traits that Gregor Mendel studied in pea plants. Other human traits have more complex inheritance patterns. Q: Genetic traits are characteristics encoded in what? Choices: - nuclei - bacteria - rna - dna A:
(Answer)
dna
