Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Hardy-Weinberg theorem states that, if a population meets certain conditions, it will be in equilibrium. In an equilibrium population, allele and genotype frequencies do not change over time. The conditions that must be met are no mutation, no migration, very large population size, random mating, and no natural selection. Q: Which theorem states that, if a population meets certain conditions, it will be in equilibrium? Choices: - hardy- jacksons theorem - hardy - henkel theorem - hardy - zeiss theorem - hardy-weinberg theorem A:
hardy-weinberg theorem

Answer the following question given this paragraph: An enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst. Recall that a catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed in the reaction. Cellular processes consist of many chemical reactions that must occur quickly in order for the cell to function properly. Enzymes catalyze most of the chemical reactions that occur in a cell. A substrate is the molecule or molecules on which the enzyme acts. In the urease catalyzed reaction above, urea is the substrate. The Figure below diagrams a typical enzymatic reaction. Q: What term is used to describe a protein that acts as a biological catalyst? Choices: - nucleus - protein - heterozygote - enzyme A:
enzyme

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cells may be small in size, but they are extremely important to life. Like all other living things, you are made of cells. Cells are the basis of life, and without cells, life as we know it would not exist. You will learn more about these amazing building blocks of life when you read this chapter. Q: What basic structures are called the building blocks of life and comprise all living things? Choices: - pigments - seeds - lipids - cells A:
cells

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Introduction Coral reefs are home to about 25% of all marine species. They are being threatened by climate change, oceanic acidification, and water pollution, all of which change the composition of the solution we know as seawater. Dissolved oxygen in seawater is critical for sea creatures, but as the oceans warm, oxygen becomes less soluble. As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the oceans increases, contributing to oceanic acidification. Coral reefs are particularly sensitive to the acidification of the ocean, since the exoskeletons of the coral polyps are soluble in acidic solutions. Humans contribute to the changing of seawater composition by allowing agricultural runoff and other forms of pollution to affect our oceans. Solutions are crucial to the processes that sustain life and to many other processes involving chemical reactions. In this chapter, we will consider the nature of solutions, and examine factors that determine whether a solution will form and what properties it may have. In addition, we will discuss colloidssystems that resemble solutions but consist of dispersions of particles somewhat larger than ordinary molecules or ions. Q: Dissolved oxygen in seawater is critical for sea creatures, but as the oceans warm, oxygen becomes less what? Choices: - insoluble - abundant - saturated - soluble A:
soluble
