Q: What is the largest taxonomic rank? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Coming up with a scientific naming method may not seem like a big deal, but it really is. Prior to Linnaeus, there was no consistent way to name species. Names given to organisms by scientists were long and cumbersome. Often, different scientists came up with different names for the same species. Common names also differed, generally from one place to another. A single, short scientific name for each species avoided a lot of mistakes and confusion. Choices: - sublet - top - core - domain A:
domain

Q: Triggering a blink when something touches the surface of the eye, the corneal reflex is what type of reflex? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: connection is the basis of somatic reflexes. The corneal reflex is contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle to blink the eyelid when something touches the surface of the eye. Stretch reflexes maintain a constant length of muscles by causing a contraction of a muscle to compensate for a stretch that can be sensed by a specialized receptor called a muscle spindle. Choices: - dendritic - sensory - orgasmic - somatic A:
somatic

Q: In autosomal dominant inheritance only one "affected" what is necessary to result in an "affected" phenotype? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Autosomal Dominant Inheritance. Only one "affected" allele is necessary to result in the "affected" phenotype. For a genetic disease inherited in this manner, only one mutant allele is necessary to result in the phenotype. Achondroplasia (discussed later) is an example of a dominant disorder. Both homozygous and heterozygous individuals will show the phenotype. Homozygous achondroplasia is usually a lethal condition. Choices: - molecule - trait - cells - allele A:
allele

Q: What are the two loops of blood flow in the cardiovascular system? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The cardiovascular system circulates blood through two different loops. Pulmonary circulation is a loop that carries blood between the heart and lungs. Systemic circulation is a loop that carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body. Choices: - anabolic and metabolic - aerobic and anaerobic - systolic and diastolic - pulmonary and systemic A:
pulmonary and systemic
